All That Jazz
So today was the very first day of a Jazz workshop I signed up for. I got there at about 2:30PM so I just sat under the shade of a tree, sketching and listening to music. I was horribly nervous. When I got there we were about 12 people. They gave us sheets for 'Fly me to the moon'. It's my favourite song, or at least one of my top favourites, so I know it by heart. They asked who knew the song and I said I did so they asked me to sing it. Apparently they liked it so much I'm supposed to sing it solo now. It's not hard at all to sing the song without any backup, it sounds great with the drums, bass and guitar, I loved it. And they liked my voice in it, so yay!
There was a guy there with a great voice and they got him singing 'I Got Rhythm'. It's a wonderful song and so catchy! We sing three other songs in a chorus and so far it's sounding great and it's just the first day! Though we didn't talk much the people there seemed really really nice and it seems like this week will be a fun and eye-opening experience. I love music and I'm just glad I'm doing something with my voice and my free time.
After I left CCB (Belém Cultural Centre), I got a message from Diogo asking me if I could go help him shop for t-shirts. I met him, we went through three stores until we realized the new collections hadn't come in yet so all that was left were the ugly scraps no one had bought. Since he had free time, he accompanied me to fnac to help me buy some nice headphones (I got AKG ones, damn expensive but great!) and to a jewelry shop called Pedra Dura so I could collect the earrings my mom had left there to be repaired. We started heading towards the taxis and bus stops, but I looked at GAME from afar and realized there was someone at the counter whom I hadn't met yet! So I said goodbye to Diogo and went inside. I've been a regular costumer at the store for over a year so I know everyone there pretty well and they're always happy to meet me. Whenever someone new is hired I get all yippy and excited and I go over to introduce myself. So I did it today and I'm so happy I did! The new guy working there is amazingly nice and super cute and he actually put up with me talking out of my elbows! I'm so happy! I hope when I go there again he's on counter duty, I really loved chatting with him.
So I guess that was my day C: Too excited not to post~ Tomorrow I'll be picking up my Intuos4, having another three hours of jazz workshop and I'll be going out for dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe with Mariana and her british boyfriend, Edward ^-^
