Sometimes, you have to tell the truth early on, even if there are negative consequences, so people won't end up wasting their time on the same shit for months.
Yeah, my piano teacher insisted, for months, that I should master and follow the prescribed 4-trill-notes-per-beat rule. To be honest, I hate trills (maybe because I was never really able to play them properly). It was only when we were practicing earlier today that she told me it's ok if I don't follow the prescribed number of trills (because she finally realized I don't have the talent for trills), as long as I make it sound like trills, after all, they're just accessory notes(though the elderly pianists in the crowd will probably notice the modification I/we made).
So much for 6 months trying to perfect trills. btw, the concert's tomorrow (bring bananas for your nerves, jen.)...
Anyway, last night was MOrg Love!! yay! Ü
It was almost perfect (the only depressing thing is MOrg's fiscal problems..). Here's a picture of the last band, Sugarfree (yay to Nas and me for being their band aids):
Last night (actually, this morning) is also the first time I approached an artist for something. Well, because my friend Majo wanted a souvenir from Ebe (vocalist) - preferably a guitar pick. But as I saw it none in the band used a pick so I eyed the can Ebe was drinking his San Mig Light from. But I didn't want her to have trash so I scanned for another item. Then I saw the white plastic bracelets he was wearing. He looked friendly enough (and I wasted enough) so I asked for one of those bracelets after their performance. Good thing he's accommodating, and I got Majo her souvenir.
And today was Manila Ocean Park day.
I learned loads about aquatic life, but what really got me was the Japanese
something crab (biggest arthropod in the world). It was so big and tempting. uhh. I just wanted to grab it from it's aquarium and boil it in the biggest casserole I can find.
