It has been raining and I love it! I love rain! Now it just reminds me of a song by Billie Myers, Kiss the Rain. I’ve chosen the video with Dawson’s Creek scenes. I love the song and I grew up watching Dawson’s Creek. Truth is, I’ve chosen this since I do not like the official video of the song. :p

I’ve been busy for the past few weeks. I’m updating my magazine blog, writing for a blogger friend, and I have a huge project that is the major contributor to my aching head. Anyway, the last time I touched Marcus, my violin and yes my violin has a name , was last March 26 when we played for our company anniversary.

Before I go to the ‘raining’ part of this post, let me tell you first about our actual performance during the company anniversary. Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve been liking this local band, Silent Sanctuary, for a while. Recently I bought their very first album, Fuchsiang Pag-Ibig, and I love almost all of the songs on in.

For almost two weeks I have not updated this blog and my other news blog. I have been busy.. super busy at work and we also have violin practice every week for the upcoming company anniversary.

I now happen to have a luxury of a few hours to update my blogs after drinking a cup of coffee. Woaah!! Caffeine boost. I wonder how am I going to get out of bed tomorrow for work.

…

Still have a lot of things to do

…

Still have a lot of thoughts running in my head..

…

So many plans

…

Unexpected circumstances happened

…

Never been this way before.. and I hate it..

…

I miss being a child

…

If only I can go back in time I will make sure every moment counts

…

Wooaahh!! so many dots!!

…

I hate it.

Good night!!

This is such a lovely song from one of my favorite artist. It was wonderfully written and has a lot of meaning.

It reminds me of everything I have been through.. happy moments, not-so-happy moments, lost opportunities, etc. I love the lyrics. I can pretty much relate to it. This is the story of my life:

Time, where did you go?
Why did you leave me here alone?
Wait, don’t go so fast
I’m missing the moments as they pass
Now I’ve looked in the mirror and the worlds getting clearer
So wait for me this time
I’m down I’m down on my knees I’m begging for all your sympathy
But you (I’m just an illusion) you don’t seem to care (I wish that I could)
You humble people everywhere (I don’t mean to hurt you)
Now I’ve looked in the mirror and the worlds getting clearer
I’ll take what you give me. Please know that I’m learning
So wait for me this time
I should’ve know better
I shouldn’t have wasted those days
And afternoons and mornings
I threw them all away
Now this is my time
I’m going to make this moment mine.
(I shouldn’t have wasted those days)
I’ll take what you give me. Please know that I’m learning
I’ve looked in the mirror
My world’s getting clearer
So wait for me this time

Chantal Kreviazuk for me is the best singer in the world. No one sounds and write songs like her. She’s amazing!!

Here’s a live video of her singing ‘Time’.. wonderfully sung… and I love the violins.

I love Taylor Swift’s Love Story. This video is nice!! These guys did an amazing job, especially the one on violin.. And I’m not being biased.. hahha.. I can’t help posting it here.. Enjoy!

Had a long and tiring day. I’m too exhausted to function when I got home. I had dinner with my roommate and after that, I forced myself to play my violin.

Violin-mood not that okay, I started tuning the instrument and attached the shoulder rest on its body as I’m about to start. I did scale exercises first then played song #1, Concerto No. 2, 3rd Movement, in Suzuki violin Method Volume 4. I’ve been doing that piece for two months now but my playing is nowhere perfect yet. That’s just sad. I’m having a hard time now playing book 4 pieces but I really wanted to be good in playing the violin so I guess I have to take on it. To make things worse, I’m still sticker-dependent. I’m out of tune if you remove my ever trusted stickers. I made an attempt once and the result was disaster.

So anyway, back on my playing.. I played that particular piece twice, repeating the parts I had difficulty with then moved on to the next piece in the book, Concerto No.5, 1st Movement. As expected this piece is harder but my mood suddenly changed and I wasn’t able to track time. Before I knew it, it was 10 pm already. I started at around 8 I guess. I feel dull pain on my legs standing for a few hours and it was just then that I realized that I’m too tired already. This instrument has amazing effects on me, well I guess to most people, it calmed my senses and relaxed my mind.

I would want to go on with my playing but I just remembered I haven’t updated my site. And besides I’m starting to have this paranoia again that someone is wailing near me or someone just walked by my side… Scary!! Silly me! I know! So I headed upstairs and started writing.
