First  my apologies for the late review of Arnel Pineda's acoustic gig held last month.   T'was five days before Christmas when everyone was in a rush, traffic was heavy, errands  abound, I could barely sit still. 

ARNEL,YOU'RE LIFES STORY IS AAN INSPIRATION TO TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHOSE LIVES HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT AS WELL. YOU EPITOMIZE DON'T STOP BELIEVEN AND YOU HELP THEM TO KEEP THEIR FAITH AND TO NEVER STOP BELIEVING IN THEMSELVES. I KNOW YOU ARE IN THE PHILIPPINES HELPING WITH THE RECENT FLOOD VICTIMSAND WE WOULD LIKE TO SEND A DONATION TO HELP IF YOU COULD LET US KNOW WHERE TO SEND IT.

tomorrow is christmas.. every year i try to give back/pay it forward, to those less fortunate, and i must admit, i got all wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of work and a sleep deprived life, that i feel i haven't given enough.. i work so much and have so little to show for it that when christmas rolls around, i can't do all that i want to for others.. some years me and my fella sponsor a needy family for christmas, some years i donate hand made hats & scarves.. it's hard to donate my time, since i don't even get christmas day off work..  my goal for next year is to do MORE.. if i just make the time, i can do it.. i think that is a big part of why i am so drawn to Arnel, he is such a giving person.. when i find myself neglecting my charities, i look at Arnel, who stretches himself thin, is tired, aching and sore.. and still finds it in himself to give that little bit more.. and i stop making excuses and push myself to give that little bit more too.. so i thank Arnel for being such a positive influence in my life..

Hi everyone. My names Annie. I'm fairly a nee Arnel fan. The 1st time I watched his video Open Arms on You Tube I ammediately fell in love. I didn't think anyone could sing Journey like Steve, boy did I get a surprise!!! I couldn't hold back my tears, he sang so beautifully & touched me so deeply. Steve I think is still an amazing performer, but his singing never touched me so deeply. Then I started watching some of his interviews & seeing what he went through before he became successful, my heart really went out to him. I am so happy he found the success he deserved. He really made me look at my self & realize I don't have it as bad as I thought and I could better my life. Hes been a great inspiration for me!!! I went back to schook to get my GED and I'm allready signing up for college to try & better myself somaybe I can better my life. No I'll never be a famouse singer like I wanted, you need talant for that, lol, but he really gives me hope & has made me feel like anythings possible if you want it bad enough. But I wanted to do something to honor him. He truely deserves it!!! So I created a group on face book honoring him so all of us who love him so much can get to gether & have fun, tell stories about him, teeling our feelingd about him, maybe share some of our favorite pictures of him with other people who love him. I would be truely pleased if you'd stop in and check it out, put your 2 cents worth in, I'd love to hear it as much as other people who love him would. The group is on Face Book, its called Arnel Pineda - Legend In The Making. So please feel free to stop by anytime. Thankyou fellow Arnel fans. Annie.

I AM FEELING SOO TIRED THESE DAYS.IT SEEMS ALL I CAN DO THESE DAYS IS SLEEP.IT'S HARD FOR ME TO DO MUCH OF ANYTHING,BUT AT LEAST I HAVE MY LAPTOP,AND WHEN I CAN STAY AWAKE MY YANKEES.I AM EXCITED FOR THE PLAYOFFS TO BEGIN.

This weekend, we will have the opportunity to visit Dallas!  Very excited about getting to travel there because we have a lot of friends in that area...AND we are seeing Journey!  This will be my first time to see them live, so I'm thrilled that I get to experience this with my wife!  A couple weeks ago, we were on a plane, headed for Las Vegas.  I decided to sit near the middle of the plane, instead of the back.  Little did we know that we were sitting to Rip Rokken, one of the nicest and most down to earth guys we have ever met.  Before we knew that he was close to AP or Journey, we chatted for a while and made small talk.  I appreciate and enjoy many different types of music and my wife can't live without music.  She literally has to have some music going whether she's in the car, at work or just sitting at home on the computer.  So when we heard that Journey was going to be in Texas, we just couldn't pass up the opportunity!  We are so fortunate to have met AP on his birthday, along with many of his friends and family :)
