At this time of my life I've been more than blessed. I don't always get to spend time with God, unfortunately (sometimes I feel like I treat Him like a genie, but I don't like that), but I want that to change. Went to church this morning and hoping to go again tomorrow morning for morning Mass. I definitely want to pray to God more often. I do, but ( Read more... )

I feel happy, but there's another side of me that is anxious, negative, worried, stressed out. I can't wait to reach the time in my life when I will be at peace with a lot of things. I just need to let go of things that bother me and work hard to fix the things that I can. I know the source of a lot of my problems. I worry about the lives of other ( Read more... )

I've been trying to finish this essay... not that it's boring, but I would be more interested in something else. I'm not as in to celebrities as other people are. My topic focuses on why celebrity ads don't work and why some of them do work. Doesn't sound that hard, but it's hard to express myself in 5 pages. I've only written like 1 1/2 page or so ( Read more... )

I just started university life last Thursday! Do I like it? It's been a pretty positive experience since I started. I'm enrolled in preparatory viola, music history, concert attendance, fashion history, and expository English. I hope I will succeed in every single one of these classes. I think I'm the most nervous about music history because the ( Read more... )

Went to my friend's piano recital today. She and other kids and a couple of teens/young adults all did a great job with their piano pieces. :-) One of the pianists did a jazz trio with his friends that included a bass and drums. One college graduate played piano while her friend sang. It was overall a really inspiring event. The guy who did piano ( Read more... )

Ever since last night, I started thinking of myself as a puny musician. Today I'm trying not to feel that way... I have a lot to be thankful for to God concerning my music. I'm thankful that I even know how to read music in the first place. I can sight read fairly well. I have the ability to learn new songs with some time and effort. I have at ( Read more... )

... some people seem to be in such a stinkin' hurry to grow up? You only have about 18 years to be a kid, and the rest of your life to be an adult. Enjoy being young at heart, no matter how old you are. I must admit that when I was a pre-teen I was eager to be a teenager and an adult. I thought I would feel so mature entering adulthood, but boy was ( Read more... )

Today is a lovely Sunday. <3 So much to be thankful for, including the gift of life, my family, my friends, the fun stuff like books, music, and yummy things to eat and drink. <3 But I must admit that I've been such a worry wart lately. It was hard to sleep last night. :-( I've been worrying about one of my friends who is going through a hard time ( Read more... )

Finally got to see Tangled today! I rented it from Netflix. <3 It's such a cute movie - so sweet, romantic, definitely a bunch of awww moments, heh heh! :-) And I like Flynn Rider - he looks similar to someone I knew from school (who I miss!). <3 Flynn does have a good heart, despite his thieving ways. ;-) I was pretty much satisfied with the way ( Read more... )

Wow, where to start? This summer vacation is already going well for me. I've just been quite lazy, though. Hopefully I will get to accomplish more during these upcoming days! :-) Started off my vacation with graduation night - 'twas fun, despite my clumsiness. XD I graduated with one of my friends and 2 music major classmates! And I had my darling ( Read more... )
