The Simple Pleasures of Life

It's kinda fun to learn stuff like this. Seriously.

In the midst of thunderstorms

The most incredible experience of living in the tropics must be the monsoon season. I have not appreciate it much, seeing it mostly as a problem for drying clothes, and getting extremely wet. Today however, being in position to witness so many lightening streaks in the air, accompanied by the most incredible thunder I've ever heard, really left me in awe. Such a welcome after being plagued by haze.

How to play a Chopin Etude

While in school where there's an ample availability of pianos (nevermind the tuning and odd one or two sticky keys), I would want to play and be reacquainted with the black and white.

So I grabbed a score from the school library, and did some research on youtube to find out how to play the music. In my exploration, I discovered gems. Spine chilling gems. So I discarded my music score and decided to bring out my Chopin Etude score.

Listening to this last one brought tears to my eyes. Not saying it's the best, but it was the most emotional for me.

What's in the bag?

The essentials I carry nearly everyday... except for the earrings. I included them cos they are so cute. Thanks L!

Marimo

I've a new friend! Marimo is my latest attempt to cultivate green fingers after my disaster with the poor cati. The scary thing about Marimo is that it photosynthesizes rapidly under my desk's lighting and I'm obligated to change the water every 1 - 2 days just so it can photosynthesize. Otherwise the poor thing will be suffocating under highly oxygenated water.
