para sa aking mga mahal na babasahin,

gusto ko sanang humingi ng tawad dahil matagal ko nang hindi nagagalaw ang aking livejournal. Lumipat na ako sa Wordpress.com madami na akong nailagay dun. pero hindi natin alam baka balik-balikan ko pa rin ang aking LJ.

please visit my wordpress account. :)


nagmamahal,

hehe! ginuhit at kinulayan sa photoshop. tinamad na ako magdrawing ng iba pang character kaya ayan, sya uli sa coffee cup. :P

hehe!


coffee cup adventures goes to magazine cover.

September na naman at syempre tulad ng ginagawa ko taon taon, nagsusulat ako ng isang blog post para sa aking mga mahal sa buhay. NAKS!



Itong post na ito ay ang aking “happy birthday wishlist” nyahaha! Sige na pagbigyan nyo na ako, minsan lang ako maging selfish. Hehehe!



O sya! Wala nang patumpik-tumpik pa! simulan na ito!



Wishlist numero uno: Moleskine

Bilang isang maarteng artist nararapat lang na magkaroon ako nito. Sa mga hindi nakakaalam kung ano ito, ang moleskine ay isang mamahaling notebook. Nagkakahalaga ito ng Php 798 hanggang sa Php 1000+ depende sa laki at gamit. Bakit ito mahal? Sinasabi na ito daw ang klase ng notebook na ginamit nila Van Gogh at iba pang tanyag na artist noon. Maganda din ang pagkakagawa nito at maganda ang klase ng papel na ginamit.

Maliit man o malaki kahit ano ok sa akin. Pero ok din kung meron akong isang maliit at isang malaki. hehe



Wishlist numero dos: "Kumpas" album ng Philharmonic

Dahil mahilig ako sa strings at band music (ng konti) ito na marahil ang pinakaperfect album na may kombinasyon nitong dalawa.



Wishlist numero tres: Mac book

Dahil mababaw lang naman ang mga gusto ko sa buhay simple lang naman ang aking kahilingan at isa na rito ang Mac book na may leopard na OS, at may CS3 creative suite na nakainstall. Yun lang. ayoko naman ng Mac Air.



Wishlist numero kwatro: Kwarta

Cash. Kaya nga ako napupuyat ngayon para kumita sa sideline. Pero sinong may sabi na hindi ka din pwedeng kumita kapag birthday mo diba? Madami akong plano para sa buhay at isa na dun ang umikot sa mundo.



Wishlist numero singko: Wish para sa wishlist ko

Naway matupad lahat ng nakasulat sa “happy birthday wishlist” ko.





At bago ko tapusin ang aking wishlist, let me pray for you:



Lord bless my friends and family so they can bless other people and that includes ME (on my birthday). Thank you Lord! Amen!!!

It was August of 2005 when I first held a violin, I can still remember the sheer joy of that moment. ^_^ but from the start I already knew that I will not play the violin but the viola instead. My teacher, teacher Robbie, told me I have long arms and I should play the viola, and besides they need a violist. As you all know violist nowadays are considered as endangered species. So violin is just my training wheels. Six (or maybe) eight months later, my teacher handed me a 16 in. viola! Le gasp! Its big and heavy! But I’m happy. (nyuhi!)

2005 was the start of my music love story.

So why am I reminiscing? Well, last Saturday, (August 16), I invited my friend to join our orchestra in paranaque. Weeks before that we had a talk, I told her joining the orchestra is a serious business. It’ll eat a lot of her time, energy and not to mention moolahs. Learning to play the instrument is an ordeal itself, 2-6 months of “just” bowing, then learning the fingering, starting from do, re, mi. Then to twinkle twinkle little star (yes, the humiliation of playing that song especially when you are 20+ years old and being watched by grade school and highschool students. Ugh!). Then after that you’ll play some meaningful nursery rhymes and simple praise songs like “ode to joy” (my favorite piece back then). Joining the orchestra and STAYING requires a lot of determination and sacrifice. Let’s just put it this way, if you don’t love music, you’ll DIE! Just kidding, you’ll just easily quit.

After saying all those discouraging… um, pep talk (hehe! As if I can put those words together), I can’t believe the reaction I saw, her eyes are actually twinkling with delight. From that moment on I knew she loves music. She told me when she was young she really wanted to join the orchestra, and now that she has the opportunity, it’s like a dream come true for her.

But Saturday came and she was heart broken, her mom didn’t allow her to join. She knew that, but she still attended our practice. She cried after telling me she has to quit and I felt how sad it was for her. Taking away what you always wanted, what you always dreamed of. Eigen Ignacio, our conductor, told us in one of our rehearsals that music is not our god. God created music for His glory. Even though my friend wanted to join the orchestra, even tough I wanted her there to experience the joy of playing fantastic music pieces, she can’t. She has to obey her mom, she has to honor her parents. But the orchestra will wait for her, and for now I’ve decided to teach her the basics so she can play, or at least know how to hold the violin properly and bow without hurting herself. Hehe.

Knowing her situation and looking back three years ago, I find myself blessed. For some who do not know, it was my mom who encouraged me to join the orchestra. She introduced me to my first teacher, a Korean, teacher Robbie. She even encourages me to go anywhere just so I can practice (or maybe she doesn’t want me inside our house because I’m making such a huge racket). Anyway, it was also teacher Robbie who lend and gave (yes gave) me the viola. He introduced me to Eigen who taught me how to play the viola and read notes in C-clef (again the lessons are free. OoohhohYES I’m sooo blessed). I am playing in two orchestras now, one in PYO (praise youth orchestra) in pioneer, and the other one is in ICA - The Orchestra in Paranaque. I’ve invited a lot of people to join, some of them stayed while others decided to do something else with their lives. I’ve met a lot of really nice people whom I considered as family–orchestra family.

I have really fallen deeply in love with music. I consider it as a gift from God. That is why I know that music is not my god because I acknowledge the One who created music. He is also the one who placed this desire in my heart and I praise Him more for that.

If ever I will win a grammy award this will be my speech (well, more or less)

To teacher Robbie, the person who generously and willingly imparted fine music to Filipino children (ahem! Yes, children). To kuya Guidong who doesn’t know how to play the viola but is willing to teach me when Eigen is not around. To Eigen, one of my biggest influences in classical music, my teacher for 3 years and my jedi master. To my mom, who passed on the music genes and didn’t discourage me when I told her that I wanted to learn how to play an instrument. And of course to my Heavenly Father who started all of this.

Thank you! Thank you! From the bottom of my heart thank you!

*lifts the trophy then waves to her fans… with tears of joy of course*

nyeheheherrrr....

i am happy to announce that Mr. Darcy is now officially my boyfriend. hehe!

so bago kayo mag-isip ng kung ano, introduce ko muna kung sino si Mr. Darcy. He is my beloved viola. kwento ko ang storya kung paano kami naging *ahem* kami... wahaha!


well, hinihiram ko lang kasi si Mr. Darcy sa aking Korean teacher. and for three years hanggang hiram lang ako. but of course kahit hiram lang ang pag-ibig kay Darcy, inaalagaan ko pa rin sya. (aww...) pero gusto ko na syang bilhin sa teacher ko. but i dont have the guts to tell him, kasi nga i know he doesn't sell the instruments he lends, kung baga gamitin mo pero di mo pwedeng bilhin. T_T

then yesterday (July 13, 2008) di na talaga ako makatiis, gusto ko na magkaroon ng sarili kong viola, i approached him and said "teacher is it ok if i buy the viola (mr.darcy)? i already love him and i dont want to buy a new one" (sa instrument kasi kapag masmatanda masmaganda yung tunog. not sure though if this is applicable to all instruments). and this is his reply "you can have it"

im like..... HUWAT!!!! NO WAY!!!! *really, i said those words... (-_-)*


and he said "yes". so i thanked him and this is what he said "the instrument is not mine, its from God. so take good care of it and dont sell it ok!" *hehe!*

made me think, he's right. this instrument is from God and also the talent and the skill of being able to play such instrument, i should give Him the glory. ^_____^ <-really big smile


so ayun, officially sa akin na yung instrument, my teacher even told me we'll have an official celebration for giving the instrument to me. hehe! just for remembrance daw :P

hay... ang saya magkaboyfriend... kahit gawa lang sa kahoy... sana next time tao naman.
haha! :P

good or bad, happy or sad...

kahit ano. :)

kung ayaw nyo, libre nyo nalang ako ng kape! ~o)

this is a story of a girl who woke up one sunday morning thinking it was monday already.


nakalimutan ko ang sunday!!!!!! iniisip ko na kung anung susuotin ko sa office and for 20 seconds nawala ang sunday sa calendar ko! parang nagtime travel ako!


kewl!!


after akong mahibang ng ilang segundo bumalik na uli ako sa tunay na oras.



SUNDAY MORNING 7:00AM



tinuninu-tinuninu.... *twighlight zone background music*

Ayoko na…

Suko na ako.

Noon pinipilit ko pa. Baka naman kasi mali lang talaga ako.

Pero nakita ko, naramdaman ko, hindi na talaga…

Asa pa ako. Maslalo ko lang pinipilit maslalo lang akong nalulungkot.

Ilang beses ko na yun iniyakan. Tama na.

Sawa na rin akong lumuha.

Lagi nalang akong natutulog na basa ang unan.

Itigil na ang kalokohan.

Nagawa ko na dapat kong gawin. Nasabi ko na dapat kong sabihin.

Pero gusto ko pang bigyan ng pagkakataon. Huli na ito. Kung mabibigo na namana ako harapin nalang ang katotohanan…


Wala na.






ITAPON NA NGA TONG RUBIK’S CUBE NA TO!!!!!

nakuha ko na ang aking sick leave conversion!

huwaw! hindi pala ako gaanong nagkasakit last year!

at dahil dun, niregaluhan ko ang sarili ko ng...

*drum roll*


bagong kama!!!


ang labo ng koneksyon ng dalawa (sick leave at kama) may binabalak ba akong matulog nalang? hahaha!





By the way absent ako today. *artist block* (@_@)

wala akong maisip na designs...

apat na posters ang dapat kong gawin, isang 2 design para sa bagong series.

lumalakbay utak ko sa... sa wala.

iba ang aking iniisip.

sumasakit na ulo ko sa kapipiga ng disenyong astig.

pero wala.

bukas gusto ko muna sana sa bahay. magddrawing muna ako.

para din naman sa ikabubuti ko ang pag-absent. kung patuloy pa rin akong ganito, tutunganga nalang uli ako sa harap ng computer. wala na naman akong magagawang matinong design.

aabsent ba ako?


nakakaguilty...


pero kailangan...



hay...

Pangako ko sayong pupunta tayo sa Paris magkasama. pangako ko sayo na bibisitahin natin ang lugar kung saan ka nanggaling. pero iniwan mo ako. san ka na napunta? *hikbi*

yan ang mga katagang paulit ulit kong naiisip nung nawala ang eiffel tower kong keychain. nung gabing tinitignan ko sya, nung gabi na sinabi ko kay jeff (muyamoy) at laili na gusto kong pumunta sa France at makita ang original na eiffel tower, yun na pala ang huli namin pagkikita (ng aking keychain).

nawala ang aking keychain nung isang araw habang naiwan ko ang aking baunan sa tricycle. nakapaglakad na ako ng malayo ng mapansin ko na may nawawala sa akin. binalikan ko, ngunit, subalit, dadapwa't wala na ito. wala na ang tricycle na aking sinakyan, wala na ang baunan, ang coin purse, at ang aking keychain.

pangarap ko na magkikita pa rin kami, magsasama at pupuntang paris. hindi kita iniwan, binalikan kita.


mahal pa rin kita sana magkita tayo uli...

(i don't want to put this on my videos, check nyo nalang ang haba eh.)

After viewing Tom Cruise’s so called “explanation” regarding scientology I am totally convinced that…



Mr. Cruise can’t explain the whole essence of his *ahem* religion(?)





Yet! He is totally dedicated… yick!





Wake up dude!!!!





Come to think of it, a five year old kid can explain salvation in one sitting.

Thank God Christianity is not that complicated. :)



(Sayang Tom Cruise, crush pa naman kita noon. Hay…)
