In the middle of my sem break,
I thought I was on a hiatus from everything.
Not until writing becomes an itch that wouldn't go away.
It feels so good to give in.
Sembreak at last!
And it started with a blast!
After being bombarded during the Final examinations in Med school,
my heart, body, and soul shifted focus on 'G Thing'.
A two night concert for the benefit of BLD Youth Encounter #19.
(October 17-18, 2008 in Kublai's Bar and Grill, Katipunan)
I was so excited to release and break free!
I'd spare the details of the concert,
so that you would come and see us next time. Haha.

Below are some pictures from the event...
Thank you to all who came!
Jesus rocks!
I must say that it was an awesome feeling
to jam and make music for the Lord.
Especially with a band who feels the same way, with the same passion.
It was uplifting experience for all who came.
This post is the story behind the band's name ---Zach's Tree
Thanks to the Y.E. class #18, a call to serve came.
Souled Out was the former name of the band.
Yeah, it had a great name recall, but it had little meaning.
Plus, we found out there are already existing
local and American bands with the same name.
It all started with an overwhelming desire
to express how you feel deep inside.
We wanted to do something fresh,
to come out with something new.
Armed with our passions: music and serving God,
we obeyed the call.
It was a blessed band planning at Greenhills Starbucks.
With the direction from Kerygma preacher George Gabriel,
our band was christened with a new name. --- Zach's Tree.
The name was taken from the Gospel of Zacchaeus.
He was a tax collector, a little man regarded by the people of his time.
When he heard Jesus was coming to his town, he wanted to see Him.
But because he was little,
the crowd gathered prevented him to see Jesus.
And you know what he did? He climbed a tree.
That's when Jesus saw Zacchaeus, and told him,
'Zacchaeus, hurry and come down from that tree
because I will dine at your house today.'
Thus salvation has come to his house.
Our band realized that all of us are like Zacchaeus in our own way.
That we all have our littleness in this world.
We want to be that tree for all the 'Zacchaeuses' out there.
That we all have our littleness in this world.
We want to be that tree for all the 'Zacchaeuses' out there.
Why?
Because we, the members of the band.
all had our own moments like Zacchaeus.
We want you to experience it as well.
And we see that this is our purpose, our calling.
That is to build a foundation for you
And we see that this is our purpose, our calling.
That is to build a foundation for you
to see and experience Jesus in a new way.
That's why our genre is a new generation
That's why our genre is a new generation
of praise and contemporary music.
There are new songs with the oomph ,
while old songs become new again.
Music that is fresh, dynamic, and invigorating.
while old songs become new again.
Music that is fresh, dynamic, and invigorating.
Let me share to you our dream.
That one day, we will be touring around the Philippines
and hopefully around the world to be agents of change through music.
And that the music will run through the generations to come.
So that millions of people would see Jesus
So that millions of people would see Jesus
and be uplifted from their littleness.
Seems larger than life?
Hey, why not?
Hey, why not?
There can be miracles when you believe.
Zach's Tree
Remember the name.
We will rock the world with Jesus.
Are you with us?
