and by the way, more great musics are coming up this year. you’ll love them.

now i use myspace for music since i’ve become a music producer.  i have quite a few listeners who come to check my profile daily.  i haven’t had time to actually promote my page since i’m too busy with school and work. with the upgraded version of myspace music, i think it could help me with my promotion.

i use facebook more to get in touch with my friends who are now in college.  it’s much better than myspace because they have an online chat. so whenever you’re online, you can talk to your friends if they show up on the online status.  although i was not happy with the newer version (i accidently upgraded when i looked at my friend’s profile), i kinda got used to it.

Youtube.com is also an awesome site that i love to use to watch videos and even promote mine. http://youtube.com/makaku777

i bet there are more site out there that can lead me to meet new people. i was thinking of the dating website; i forgot its name. yeah, match.com, but i refrained myself because it’s more about dating than just meeting new people. maybe i ought to give it a try and see if i can get any result, but i won’t try to date someone from there because i don’t trust online dating. i prefer meeting a person face to face. physical appearance is more powerful than hiding behind the computer.

The song on the page is called “My Look of Love”, and it’s a cover of the movie “Who’s That Girl?” soundtrack. The original track is called “The Look of Love”. You can search for it on amazon.com and listen to a clip of it. You can either listen to the original then listen to the cover or vice versa.

 Let me know what you think of it. And please, be honest. ;D

well, my song cover is called “Never Alone Again”, and it’s on my myspace page. just go to my page and listen to the whole song. but here is a catch (that’s why i said you must be a big fan of A-ha): it’s a cover of A-ha’s early demo. A-ha’s demo songs were made available on their sold out copies of “The Swing of Things” book which included the demo cd. it’s in Norwegian, so you can’t read it. lol. in one of the songs from there, that’s where i got my inspiration.

well, anyway, here is the link: http://myspace.com/lescherubainsdecharisdondeli

play “Never Alone Again”. to give you a hint, listen closely to the bridge of the track. okay, another hint from the lyric of the demo: “…hold me, and give all your love….”. there you have it. ;D

Mission Accomplished:

My fellow Americans;

“We’ve got him”

Mission Accomplished!

Mission Accomplished!

Mission Accomplished about the wrong war.

Mission Accomplished about the wrong cause.

Mission Accomplished about the good fight.

Mission Accomplished to keep us safe.

My fellow citizens;

“He’s still out there!!”

Who?

Osama Bin Laden!!

Mission Accomplished about the wrong guy.

Mission Accomplished to make America look bad.

Mission Accomplished to the weak dollar.

Mission Accomplished to the job loss.

Mission Accomplished? Is it really?

Are you sure, Mr. President?

It’s been six years since I’ve heard that

Don’t we need to retreat if it is finished?

Oh, why do you have to lie, man?

Why do you have to lie?

Stop with the lies, please!

here is the link to listen to it:  http://myspace.com/lescherubainsdecharisdondeli

hurry, because the track won’t really last long on my page, because every other week i upload new tracks to keep you posted on what i’m working on. music is fun, and i enjoy making them. ;D

Charis Transformed!:  The story behind it is that I made this song as a pump up track kind of feeling. It reflects my cartoon character, Charis, ascending to a superior level of archangels.  The track contains angelic sound mixed with awesome electric piano and natural sound.  Whenever you feel down, this song will ascend you to a higher level.

Yahweh:  This song is inspired by God. I made this for him because he’s my father and he cares for me.  The tune of this song has been in my mind since I was little; similar to my other track “Charis’s Dreaming Tune”.  I call this the Godly sound of music.  There is power behind music, and for those who have God as their father and sufficiency, this song is for you.  This version is the instrumental version. Look forward for the lyric and album version of Yahweh!

Charis’s Dreaming Tune: there is so much to talk about this track, but I’ll say that finally I brought it out of my head. It’s an virtual orchestra that I’ve composed and this is the original version for the single.  I’ve been singing this in my head for 17 yrs.  Crazy, huh? Well, let me know what this song makes you feel.  It helps me go to sleep fast, and it might also do to you too, for you guys with insomnia.

King of The Jungle:  African melody in this one. I made this song for my future project and cartoon about a fictional Bantu king who is supposed to be my ancestor. His name is King Tonguluzu. More info later, don’t want to spoil the story.

Bow Down:  A dramatic hip hop/orchestra sound.  Bow Down is more than just hip hop. I believe there is a message behind the track, even though there is no lyric.  God is the only one to Bow Down to.  God has set his son Jesus Christ over all principalities, so in his name, all things above the world, in the world and under shall surely Bow Down! Oh yeah!

El Shaddai: Hebrew for “Almighty God”. dedicated to my heavenly father El Shaddai.  This word is very power full, and this music just proves it to you. He inspired me to make this sound so those who will hear it can receive mental wholeness and believe that El Shaddai is always there for those who searches him.  And this is the last track in this album.

God bless you, and stay safe.
Charis D.

When people worship or praise God, or when they prey, my name is called in that moment. I’m God’s gift given to men. I bring His peace to those who search. It’s not that I’m a second Jesus, but that I have God in Christ in me, and that makes me complete. This is my last and my middle name. In my culture, the middle and the last name are the important ones than the first. All of my brother and sisters have the same last name except two of them.

Charis comes from Charismata. It’s a Greek word found in the scriptures of the bible. The primary meaning of it is grace, but if you get deeper, it’s God’s unmerited grace because we got it for free. Many mispronounce it by saying it like “sha-ris” instead of “kaa-ris”. No one likes his or her name to be called wrong, but sometimes I let it go. Don’t get it confused with charisma or charismatic, they are far different from Charis.

Civil War

It has been almost five years since I moved to the United States. In a New World like none other but similar, we get to move on into daily living. My father had moved here three years before our family came. The reason he moved here was for his own safety because people were looking to kill him. All of this because he served his country and kept peace among the people.  In the year 1997, we had a civil war. The rebels from east of Zaire were moving toward the west where the capital is. The soldiers didn’t want to fight. Kagame, the Rwandese president, and the international committee supported those rebels. They received weapons to fight against us. Their primary goal was “Mobutu out of power”, unaware of the plan that Kabila and the Rwandese had.

They had a list of all officers in our country from the highest-ranking officer to the lowest soldier. They knew it by heart. They had to exterminate them, so that they won’t rebel against the new leader after settling in power. All it is gaining full control of the people, or dictatorship. The rebels used little children as their armed soldiers. The reason behind this technique is that children don’t know right from wrong. They intoxicate them with foolishness, giving them hope of great expenses. Any child from five to fifteen acts as they are told to. Those children were killing human beings without mercy. Their mind was to take anyone who stands in their way.

It all started seven years before when the current president Mobutu was willing to withdraw from the presidency, but changed his mind on it that made the nation very upset. Mobutu has ruled our nation since 1965, and he ruled, according to others, with a iron fist. Internationally, he was known as a dictator. He was an U.S.A ally, but when he was asked to withdraw from his position, he refused. So, the U.S. president of that time said that it was time for Mobutu to step down. I know some of this may sound weird and untrue, but there is a lot out there that we are unaware of.

This led to the “supposed to be genocide of the Rwandese”. In 1994, the Rwandese president died on a plane crash caused by Pres. Kagame’s troops. The civil war started from the east of Zaire, but it didn’t last that long till 1994. Even the international committee wasn’t expecting something great that shall follow after this. The whole continent will be spread with a war mentality.

My family had a decent life. My father was an officer in the army, and he performed his duty righteously. We’ve spent most of my life in a military camp. In 1996, we moved to another location in downtown.

This was the first time for our household to live in the city with civilians. We never knew what war was, or what experience you get from it. Among us who has a previous war experience was my dad. When he was eight, he passed through some harsh days. He and the whole city were forced to hide in the jungles for months. It was hard to find hard to eat, but salt was needed the most. Many of the people died because they ate unsalted food. Our dad tells us these stories in order to increase our family into joining the military later on in the seventies.

Many fellow soldiers have died in this war. Some of my dad’s friends were captured, tortured, and others killed. Another officer had to kill himself, being wounded, as the enemies were coming toward him. Many things had happen that the world is unaware of. Our armed forced didn’t want to fight because they weren’t take care of. In a nation, in order to have a strong military, you need to feed the soldier and take care of their family. That is the greatest mistake a president can do in his regime. If there is no army, who will protect the country from invaders?

One day, people will know the truth of that incident. There is so much that I know that I can’t tell it. My father moved here in august, 1997, and three years later we joined him. It was very hard to miss our dad. We lived in fear during those years, running away from house to house. There were even some people who always came to look for us while our family went somewhere. But now it’s all over since we reside now in the U.S. This whole experience has shaped me in many ways.

The way I act, see things, or act is all parts of what I had been through. Something the way I see life is so far different than my friends. There is a school gap in my life for a year and a half. There was no time of study, but look at me now! I’m in college just like everyone else. It’s not too late since I’m still alive. When I look back, I can’t even imagine that I had been there those days. Now it seems like it was nothing. Amazing! This life is full of confusion. All of this has been a part of me and will be for the rest of my life.
