Harmonious Day

    Just got home from the mall and guess what…I just
happened to watch the The Manila Philharmonic Orchestra perform live.
They
were having this show at the arena. This is the first time I’ve seen
them perform live. I often see them on TV and have always been a fan. I
wasn’t really aware that they
were there. We were having a meal at KFC and at the midst of our
savoring
the food I realized that I was listening to very good music and so I
asked Shamz, who was with me…"Is that live?". She was like, "Huh…if
that’s live, then they’re really really good". So she checked out the
backdrop and read it to me.."It says..Manila..Phil..uh..Philharmonic
Orchestra..". And I was like, "Waaaaahhhht?!? Are you kiddin me, let’s
get out of here and watch em!". Hehe! And so, we did.

 

    There were around 6 violinists, 1 pianist, 1
drumist, 1 bassist and a flutist. They were askin people from the
audience to sing while they give out the accompaniment. When we arrived
near them, a girl was singing Alicia Keys’ beautiful track If I Ain’t Got You. The pianist was really good…..and so was everybody else.

 

They
were reeeeeally great! Watching them made me wish I continued that
violin lessons I took 3 years ago. Huhuhu! I was starting to learn
violin. I was in 2nd yeear high school then. I stopped because
uh…tinamad ako..hehe! My instructor often scolded(couldnt find a
lighter term) me because I used to attempt on playing songs without
reading notes…widowing, they call it. He said I shouldn’t do that
because later on, I’d surely become a lazy ‘note-reader’. But I just
couldn’t stop myself coz I wanted so much lo learn that beautiful intro
of the song Runaway by The Corrs…it has got a beautiful violin intro and I really wanted to(still want to) learn it. Hehehe!! Pasaway!
Anyway, I don’t know if I could still play right now if you hand me a
violin and let me play. I’d sure love to learn but I can’t..not with
the kind of schedule in school that I have.

    Hmmm….so much for that. I now have to go to sleep.
I’m not feeling well. My attempt to clean up some of the mess in my
room caused my allergic reaction to dust occur once again…grrrr!!!
(Forgot to put on my ‘cleaning mask’). My throat feels like it’s got
sand all over it, and I’m sneezing non-stop..hmmph! I don’t wanna spend
Christmas with a runny nose so I’m gonna go to sleep early so I could
rest and be rid of this ‘attack’. LoL!

    G’night everyone! :)
