From violin to manga
I've been hunting for my own violin this entire week. I went to many places that people suggested, well not many places sell instruments in Bangkok especially classical instruments. Most of the places focus on guitar, bass, keyboard and drum. It makes me sad that classical music doesn't get enough attention in Thailand. As much as I like rock (I think it's a thing we inherit from Dad and his Elvis records.) and I really want to play the electric guitar, but I always think classical music is the root of every genres. That's why I decide to play the violin. Anyway, I finally found a reliable shop that sell only string instruments. They have various models from various places at various cost. Their service are great. Unfortunately, the model I'm interesting in is sold out so I have to wait.... Geez I'm running out of time. The next semester is gonna start in a few weeks. What a nightmare! I'm still not sure why I go to the grad school. I dreamt about I've got my own violin and another was me playing a piece from a symphony or a concerto or a sonata which I can't remember on the piano or the violin, can't remember again. The only thing I remember was I play every notes correctly straight from my memory.
I've been reading a manga 'Nodame Cantabile'. I enjoy this manga but some parts also annoy me. Chiaki is getting more and more charming as the story goes and he's growing up. He's very smart and a perfectionist but also stupid about social life. Nodame, well, she's a great character but I don't like her much. She's over the edge and gives me a headache sometimes. She's also too annoying sometimes and I wonder how Chiaki stands her. My most favorite character is Mine. Mine is Chiaki and Nodame's friend. He's a once god awful violinist and really like rock music. That's why I like him. lol He's cool! Though he looks like an idiot among his friend and band mates (imagine bleached hair, many ear pierces etc.) but he cares a lot about his friends and always supports them. Chiaki accepts his friendship and Chiaki even got angry when some members in R*S orchestra laughed at him. What I like about this manga is friendship. There's a scene when Mine saw Chiaki conducted in a rehearsal of a music festival as the substitute of Miheal. Mine felt that Chiaki seemed to be so far away even though Chiaki was right in front of him. That's because of the difference in their level. It made me thought of myself in my senior year when I had to separate from my friends and deal with many things alone, sort of the head thing. Did my friends feel like Mine? That time I felt very lonely.
The live action was great, but they changed something. Kiyora is a completely different person IMO. They made Mazumi's Kiyora's close friend but in the original Mazumi doesn't know Kiyora before they are in the same orchestra and Mazumi is Mine's friend.That's why in LA Kiyora seems a bit distance from Mazumi. I'll stop my rant now.
Last thing before going to bed, I saw some spoiler from the lastest Bleach chapter. Prepare yourself for a painful eyesight attack!
