Music And Dreams

I have always wanted to sing and not just sing, but sing beautifully and professionally. I guess, I didn't get my dad's singing voice. However, in fairness to myself, I can sing, carry a tune but never belt out higher notes. And that's my greatest frustration.

Aside from not being able to sing beautifully, I only learned to play piano but never other musical instruments. I wanted to be an all-around band player when I was younger. My personally might deceive and you may take me as the goody-goody two shoes girl but deep inside, there's a rock chick there. Well, I have locked that inner rock chick for good. I can only wish...

So, people really find it surprising when I know rock songs and actually head-bangs along with the melody. Why not? I just admire rock bands and their music as long as the lyrics are not very dirty. I also appreciate all kinds of instruments they play including how their music is produced using various studio instruments and accessories like the bm6.

It must be nice to be given the talent to really sing. I wonder how it is like to be a singer or a rockstar.

A Dream To Change The World

We all have dreams. Most times, those dreams propel us to strive harder knowing that they can help us, our family and even the society in a larger scale.

I am one of the millions who dream not just for myself but I dream big because I know, when my dreams come true, I may be able to make a change in this world. My tiny voice will be heard because I will be a positive change that our world needs.

Sometimes, it is very frustrating to struggle and stumble many times just to get to where you want to be. And oftentimes, the road is not paved without obstacles. However, there are movements out there who can help us get there and one of them is A Billion Entrepreneurs.

A Billion Entrepreneurs is a movement that aims to instill the entrepreneurial spirit to everyone and to the generations to come. It strives to give a new meaning to "taking responsibilities for outcomes" which now meant to be responsible for one's success, own happiness and purpose in life no matter what the situation one is in.

At this stage where I can find new meaning to my purpose and to find means to succeed in life so I can make a difference, it is best to refer to notable resources of A Billion Entrepreneurs.  The resources they have including the movie found in www.ABEthemovie.com can provide that stimulus to have that "can do" attitude in business. Having said that, armed with the information, inspiration and tips from real-life entrepreneurs in the film is a great motivator to make things happen not just for ourselves but for the society as a whole.

Another Birthday, Another Year

Yup, the age of 39 just rolled in. While I was just getting used to the fact of writing 38 on forms that I fill up, here comes 39. It is back to square one for me.

I am not celebrating my birthday this year with a shindig or anything. Maybe just a snack with my colleagues and a dinner at home with my love ones. You see, I am not the party goer anyway. I even hate my own birthday parties so it's just okay to "not" celebrate it. However, I do celebrate "life" - life that God has given me once again for my birthday. That means, I have another year of promises to make and keep (hopefully not to break), dreams to aspire, time to spend with the people who matter the most to me, activities to engage in, people to help, causes to support and another life to live as God has intended it to be. I am thankful for the added year despite my denial of old age slowly creeping in. It is inevitable and I am happy to be alive.

Happy birthday to me! 

Thank you God for giving me another chance in life.

Circus Camp in December

When I was young, about 4 or 5, I remember jumping around, doing cartwheels, splitting and bending my body until I reach the floor. I was very flexible and quite puny so my mom thought of enrolling me to a gymnasium class. Unfortunately, due to time constraints and probably lack of fund, that dream went down the drain.

Now, I see my dream in my daughter's eyes whenever she watches those ladies doing ballet, somersaulting gymnasts and the acrobatic acts of the circus performers. She is lanky and very petite but I find her tall to be actually doing those stuff. I know she wants to do some of the acrobatic tricks because she loves cartwheeling when she was younger.

Maybe I will check out the circus arts camp in New York this December. That will be a great opportunity to show her around the summer camps Westchester area. My cousin lives in New York so I think a drive to that place will be a bonus attraction to my daughter's Christmas wish this year.

Well, I know it's winter and all but it's not bad to think about the summer camp activity my daughter may engage in the future. Who knows, she may just decide to study in the US and take up the summer camp westchester fun!
