Even just to have a personal computer was relegated to geeks and the super wealthy. If at all, it seemed like something that would come way down the line and perhaps to the next generation still. Today it's scary to think of what may be just around the bend. We've got communication with no cables required and personal transportation with no fuel required (the hybrids and full electric cars already running in some parts of the world). We can shoot and edit our videos, record our music and allow the world to see and hear it with just a couple of quick clicks just to name a few. We do business through the wide world web, watch the shows we've missed, download all sorts of things through this web. My God we can even get famous through the web. The world has gotten smaller hasn't it? It is now contained and seen through a graphic monitor display unit roughly the size of a floor tile. And yet, there are some things that were never meant to change, like the heart of one man or woman. It was meant to love and be loved. The soul often longs to give of itself ..... and to be give to. The spirit always truly wants what is right. This has always been part of the nature of who we are. NOPE, we aren't perfect but thank God He is. That's why I start this site in the spirit of thanksgiving because now through the same technology that has opened up our minds to a lot of good and a lot of not so good, and to a lot of things that can help us or ruin us; I can reach out to others in a most personal way and perhaps even help encourage those who've been drowned by the levels of stress we now all face. Today with all the info we have access to, it can mean more opportunities and that's good, but that will also mean more work, and more work means more responsibilities. And where there are major responsibilities involved the margin of error becomes much narrower. This is where i feel we all undergo the stress we many times believe we do not need. I hope this site and the words I'm given to say to you, help you realize what I'm still learning in my own personal life. Yes we will encounter all sorts of troubles and trials but here's my first word of encouragement for all of you. It's found in the book of Philippians 4:13 (Amplified Version) "I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency.] Call it religious, spiritual, mystical, holy. I can only call it only one thing ...TRUTH. God bless you all.

There have been so many arguments over science and faith. Here both come together in a way only the Master can do it. Be patient and finish the whole video my friend.

It's not a celebration of 25yrs in the industry but rather a perfect way to start the next years and chapters ahead. I know some may be hesitant to bring young children to the Museum because of time constraints but the show is for the family. Paolo and Gabriel Valenciano will be a part of this as well.

As we both share the same dressing room, he made a one liner like "you know Gary I even had an idea for you if you came out and did something different." I took that as my cue and a few days later we were making him know that I was going to actually guest in his concert. <br>Would you believe it was to do the opening number right after the voice-over going 'AND NOW CELEBRATING HIS 25 YEARS IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY...."???? There I was with matching Manoeuvres to complete the package. This was all his idea....and I loved it.It was hilarious as people never thought they'd see Gary V. do the opening for XXV. He then came out in a robe looking like he was getting ready pa lang back in his dressing room.

Here I am overlooking a part of the city and relaxing, meditating, and feeling better.<br>I arrived from the last tour last friday only to be greeted by typhoon frank. I attended ASAP on Sunday and everything was fine except the fact that my server at home has been down so there has been no way for me to go online since i got back. I was looking forward to reaching out to all who've watched the concerts in the US, not to mention my partners in the US who i promised I'd reach too. Monday was the start of a new week with me still riding on the "high" of the tour. Internet was still down tho.Tuesday came and there i was at the top of the hills of San Mateo near Antipolo, by the way there still is no internet service at home.It was at about lunch time as i was ordering my food when i started feeling weird. My stomach started acting funny. To make a long story short, a few hours later i was sweating, in immense abdominal pain, and dehy... http://garyvalenciano.multiply.com/journal/item/6/OFFICIALLY_Going_Home Thu, 26 Jun 2008 01:22:15 -0000 We took some time off from our regular routine and decided to do something out of the http://garyvalenciano.multiply.com/photos/album/5/AT_THE_FALLS_2008_TOUR Wed, 18 Jun 2008 22:17:04 -0000 I guess these are the most precious of gifts i've been http://garyvalenciano.multiply.com/photos/album/4/JUST_SOME_SHOTS Sun, 15 Jun 2008 19:10:08 -0000 Here are some cuts from the new CD Rebirth. Every week or so my favorite tends to change. For now however, my favorite is the song called Home. I don't know but somehow I find myself in this song. Hope you al enjoy these http://garyvalenciano.multiply.com/music/item/9/Rebirth Thu, 5 Jun 2008 17:28:20 -0000 IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT SOME PEOPLE IN MEDIA MAY HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD SOME STATEMENTS ABOUT FUTURE PLANS.My wife got a text and some calls regarding a statement i supposedly said.The common question is like "Is it true that Gary is leaving the country na? He said he's leaving to study na eh."Folks, I am leaving for the US but it's for the concert tour and not to study....not yet at least.<br>I did say that i was going to study in the US but perhaps in the next 5 or so years down the road.<br>Can I please ask a favor from all of you and please tell those who may be curious about what they may see in the news, that I am NOT LEAVING FOR ANY EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.I have a concert tour this June and then I'm coming home k?Thanks for helping out. God bless you all.<br> http://garyvalenciano.multiply.com/journal/item/5/IM_NOT_LEAVING....FOR_GOOD Wed, 28 May 2008 14:17:33 -0000 so now I'm here with my super kulit daughter kiana<img src="http://images.multiply.com/common/smiles/teeth.png">....we're talking about life issues. I guess it's when I get to relax like this and see how precious these moments are, that i also get a fresh view of how faithful my God really really is.<br>Last night just before stepping out on stage i made one last declaration. I said 'Ok Lord, I'm all yours. It's your show. Do what You will." And He sang for me. He also danced and spoke for and with me. <br>It is true my dear friends. It is true that regardless of what situation we may face in life, it never changes His word from being true. <br>And you know what the best part was? He showed me His love in the way the audience reacted to every song. They accepted me for who i was, and not for what they were expecting me to deliver. Isn't that the way He's always been? He takes us just the way we are and then takes us to places much higher than where we once were. <br>So that's it.<img src="http://images.multiply.com/common/smiles/smile.png"><br> I just wanted to share it lang with all of you. I too go thru intense battles, and ... http://garyvalenciano.multiply.com/journal/item/4/Triumphs_part_2 Sat, 24 May 2008 08:19:58 -0000 First of all i wanna thank all those who came to the shows last night and thursday night. Perhaps in all my years of doing shows, 25 years to be exact, last night's show was probably the most challenging.<br>When i got up yesterday i tried to say something, and with great effort i finally got to say "Honey? Wake up. PLease pray for me.....I've got nothing left" <br>From that time i woke up 'til show time, i had gone through major bouts of all sorts of thoughts and emotions. I went from feeling like "Cmon Gary you know it's gonna be ok" to "OH NO!!! Why this?" Yes i have to admit that even if I am very vocal about  my faith, I do sometimes allow my human nature to take over. But then i realized that God isn't surprised by what we feel or think. He knows how frail we are minsan. <br>I went back to sleep and tried to get as much rest as i could. At 3pm i finally decided to get myself ready to head out to the Music Museum. I asked for a bell that i could use instead of using my voice to call my assist... http://garyvalenciano.multiply.com/journal/item/3/CHALLENGES_AND_TRIUMPHS Fri, 23 May 2008 22:54:27 -0000 Hey everyone, just in case you may be looking for something cool to do tonight, check out the event at the music museum. It's......well......this is my first time to invite people this way<img src="http://images.multiply.com/common/smiles/embarassed.png"> but why not???? </img>It's a concert called HIS LOVE and it will feature yours truly, and my extreeeeeemely special guests Paolo, Gabriel, and Kiana. Is it a family affair? Perhaps. But it will be a lot more than that. When people come to me and congratulate me for the success of the past 25 years, they often don't realize that far above the awards, and concerts, and tours, are the greatest of all blessings that have come my way. And to think I have 4 of those priceless gifts. Yes you heard right.....4. My three children and my wife of course.They will forever be the absolute perfect examples of His love in my life.<img src="http://images.multiply.com/common/smiles/smile.png"></img><br></br>We often celebrate an event such as this by reflecting on the the years that were. And you know what? We are going to do something like that, but in November at the coliseum. <br></br>I wanted to celebra... http://garyvalenciano.multiply.com/journal/item/2/HIS_LOVE Thu, 22 May 2008 00:43:04 -0000 this was taken at the music musem by none other than my beautiful wife angeli. there's more i can post if you guys want. Nope this was not the recent HIS LOVE concert but rather a shot that was taken 3 years http://garyvalenciano.multiply.com/photos/album/3/GARYV22 Thu, 22 May 2008 00:07:33 -0000 <a href="http://s104.photobucket.com/albums/m177/voloap/?action=view&current=image110.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m177/voloap/image110.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> CD's aren't as easy to sell as they once were. Piracy has taken its toll on both the music and movie industry. This is why it has turned me on to do music that really matters and music that hopefully touches people where it counts. I mean if I were to come out to simply sell and earn, though this is important, i feel i may miss that season in someone's life where he/she needed a word of hope and encouragement and sought it out in a song or two. This is what REBIRTH is truly about. I've received feedback from people saying that they suddenly find themselves in tears as they listen to some of the songs but please know in your hearts that it was never meant to be a CD to simply make people cry but rather to have a positive impact on the listener. Most of what the album is about is written inside the sleeve of the CD but if you don't have a copy but yoiu want the songs, you can actually buy it online.
