Developing Talents

Well, here I go blogging again. I sure am going to get the hang of it.

As usual, I am just at home. I was mostly alone today at home.Yeah, Home Alone. Boring? Yeah... to death!! It's kind of sick just staying here in the house figuring out things to do. But hey, of course I found myself useful when I decided and actually committed myself to practice Sonatinas and Sonatas by Clementi, Beethoven, and Bach. I thought of myself as a stagnant-learner when it comes to playing the piano. That's what I first thought of myself when I dared play and master Beethoven's most famous Fur Elise. At first, I simply thought I couldn't do it. It was not long until I found out that I could do it! I have finally mastered the piece. I thought I'd never get through the fast and tricky parts. Mind you, Fur Elise is not that really hard, but to me it seems like it's super hard. Hahahaha... So anyway, the point is, I did it! I firmly believe that anyone can achieve his or her potential if he or she puts his or her mind and heart into it. That's what I learned from President Gordon B. Hinckley. He was the 13th President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The so-called Mormons. Yes, I am a Latter-day Saint and I am truly grateful that the words of our Church leaders inspired me to become optimistic.

Yeah, so if there's something that you have difficulty doing, you can do it! Just focus ad believe that you are a son or a daughter of our Father in Heaven with great potentials! We can all excel in our chosen field or career as we stay optimistic and believing, having faith in our Father in Heaven. In the first place, He created us! And I assure you, we are not a waste but a grand creation.

I kinda love this now... writing my thoughts. I easily get tired when I write. And to think, I am sometimes a prefectionist! When I write in my journal, I should be using my favorite pens. Otherwise, I wouldn't write at all! hahaha.. Sounds silly, huh? But that's me. :D I love pens!

So yeah, I practiced several times today and I am close to mastering Clementi's Sonatina (Op.36 No.1). I am not a piano expert so I am learning what I can to become one, I hope. :D It's a fun piece and it's my current favorite. Next in line, I would want to perfect Pachelbel's Canon in D. I also practiced Mack Wilberg's arrangement of Isaac Watts's "My Shepherd Will Supply My Need". I love that song! It moistens my eyes every time I listen to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's rendition of the song. I can just relate to the words of the song. It's heavenly. I also ra through my Suzuki Book N0. 2. I miss Mrs. Jamandre! She was my piano teacher when I was in college - perhaps the only time I took professional piano lessons. I started playing at age 9.Most of my knowledge and skills came from self-studying. I just love music! Music is my life! Take away my music, I'll be miserable!

So anyhow. Today was of course boring at some hours. But I just find my little classical rehearsal productive. Aside from that I also attempted to watch "Get Smart" and "Eagle Eye". Yeah, I do love movies! I'm a big fan of motion pictures. Literally. The motion pictures themselves. The art of cinematography. :D

This is fun! I'll post another blog again tomorrow. I wonder if Facebook has an app that can link to my blog. :D Hahahaha... Well have a good night... errr... day.
