rss feedI’ll keep writing blog entries.
“African honey wine.”
“Shock of the day: Bartok piano quintet. check it out!!”
“I’m feeling nervous for nothing at the moment.”
“You know you need a break from studying when your fingers automatically type a ‘c’ while trying to spell ‘symphony’.”
The advent of microblog such as twitter and fb status is forcing my brain to formulate thoughts in very short sentences. It’s good in the way that it trains my brain to communicate concisely, but at the same time, I am feeling a growing incompetence in writing fluidly, writing something that requires a broader sense of expression, with logical and abundant reasons for argument. (i.e. essays for school!!!)
With that said, I miss the days when the world didn’t even know how much you would pay for a pound of “facebook”. Those were the days when friends visited each other’s blogs, and when people would actually write about fascinating things such as their thoughts on life, music, art, culture, etc.. instead of trivial yet seemingly important things in real life as something like facebook would automatically feed us.
Well, I am good these days. The biggest news I would like to share must be the fact that I am happily engaged! Took a nice, albeit very short break for American Thanksgiving (although much of it was spent on traveling between destinations..). Then, life pushes on. Next week will be the last week of school, which is of course filled with multitudinous exams and papers and projects. But at the end of it all will be a concert with my lovely quintet and an amazing party with friends.
As I’m finishing a night of study (I must say I reallyenjoy studying for my exams… who knew Smetana also went deaf and gone insane?? and Rimsky-Korsakov wrote an opera called Mozart and Salieri?) But thanks to computer and internet, one minute I’m reading Liszt and the next thing I knew I was reading Jacques-Louis David. Not productive!!
To end my day, here are some photo docs of random things of tonight. Sorry for the lack of update and happy.. second week of December!
a document of the items that have been in my bag for the past week.
and a little festive mood shall we put it?
