Chopin

How fitting is it that after I finished learning a Chopin composition that I get to see a play about the life and music of Chopin?

It's even better than reading biography. And there's a post-show reception to chat with the performer who portrays Chopin.

Sunrise. Sunset. Sunrise. Sunset. Sunrise. Sunset. Sunrise. Sunset. Sunrise. Sunset. Sunrise. Sunset. Sunrise. Sunset. Sunrise. Sunset. Sunrise. Sunset. Sunrise. Sunset. Sunrise. Sunset. Sunrise. Sunset. Sunrise. Sunset. Sunrise. Sunset. Sunrise. Sunset. Sunrise. Sunset. Sunrise. Sunset. Sunrise. Sunset. Sunrise. Sunset. Sunrise. Sunset.

Changing of Guards

One friend arrives and another leaves. Best of luck to all of them.

Hmmm.. steak!

It's officially two months since the commencement of the Chopin challenge, and I have finished learning the piece and 95% memorized. In the next two months, I will work on polishing it up for good.

hmmmm, kobe steak! I love it when there is no pressure to eat a nice steak...


"I would like the Kobe steak, medium rare please. And a side of cream spinach."

BURP!

final lap...

with this weekend relaxing away at my parents' house, I'll have access to piano, which I intend to practice 4-5 hrs/ day and try to wrap up as much as the polonaise as possible. One last big push and I should be finished with the preliminary learning process. This is while ahead of the scheduled date, roughly 2 months away...

still again, time does fly because 2 months had already passed since the challenge first began.

Did or Did not?

The revelation that Rafael Palmeiro had steroid in his body, 10 game suspension, just made me ask:

did you or did you not?

So many atheletes today are under the radar because of cheat, and especially the superstar ones. Why can't people come clean and be honest about it?

If no one comes clean, the sport will not be as appreciated and that ruins the fans' enjoyment of the game. It has certainly add a damper and made us all very cynical.

Prayer or Jinx?

I hope for a good August at work.
Day of truth: August 10.
Prediction: Not going to jinx it.
