Heart's Memoir

I smell the fragrance of early childhood breeze.
The days of long-lasting happiness.
The games we play, cheerfulness of life.
The food we eat, satisfaction of hunger.

Walking on streets, an everyday excitement.
Then running towards to joys of everybody.
Everyday is a greatness of God,
Happiness was astounding.

Remembering the days, brings back the life.
Wishes of love are the wishes of everlasting joy.
To bring back the lost happiness,
Kept hidden within the long lost years.

Struggling is what always felt,
Everything was not a joy to heart.
Longing the escape from a world of sadness,
Wanting a new start live out the fullest.

Wanting the Orchestra

I can't really get enough of the City Brass Band. I want to listen and watch them rehearse today. I was already been told by the guy yesterday to sit in with them and learn. But, I have a lot drawing stuffs to do also the interview stuff for tomorrow. *sigh* My another reason to go is to have my luck to be immediately accepted on the band by showing off my skills. Well... I really like performing in public, another reason I why I want to be in the band. I have a flute here, but I don't know if it'll fit on an orchestral band.




I dunno what this flute called. I'm still searching for its information. (Edit: This is called as recorder flute http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recorder ) But now, I'm starting to study the transverse flute and I'm also planning to buy one (But I must save money for it first ).



I'm still making second thought on going there just to satisfy my heart's desire. I hope I could join them someday.

So Blissful Artsy Day

(Supposed to be posted on December 07, 2010)

I don't have class this day. So to spent the time which was supposed for school, I went on some places to get my mind filled with ideas to create artworks.

At first, I set my mind to look for good sceneries to take photos. But when I saw the Novo store, it's just like a magnetic field pulling me to it.So I went inside and browsed for some items which could help me boost up my ideas. I found some stickers which are somehow related to Chinese style art. I was hesitating to buy it, so I took pictures of it instead. (I need to save money... I only have 50 php in hand ... shhhh). I also found cute paper fans and some very cheap wigs (I didn't know this store has it *sigh*).






After store browsing, I took a walk heading to the Calamba City Plaza. I'm enjoying my walk because of some nice vintage houses , which some are already renovated, because of their architectural design (Actually, I was curious of them for me to get ideas for my dream house *giggles*). I walked until I get near the Rizal Shrine.

At first, I was shy entering the place because I'm thinking that there might be entrance fee. But because of my want to see some artworks, I just forget the thing of being shy and asked the shrine guard if there's any entrance fee and there wasn't. Then I enter the actual shrine itself. I'm not somehow truly amazed with the things inside since I'm not a fan of  earth colored stuff like stuffs from Spanish colonization.. I found inside the Shrine are the exhibited pots, wooden beds, chairs, tables and others stuffs which are Spanish like. But, I somehow felt contented because of the feeling of heritage in the shrine.

After the close look of the Rizal's home, I found great artworks created by Calambenos which are also exhibited in the shrine (I'm sorry for not getting some images, my camera got dead that time). I cried because of so much appreciation for the paintings there and it gave me another inspiration to do more artworks.

Before leaving the shrine, the guard told me that there is an art class held every Saturday and it just made me feel excited. I can now truly pursue my art career in no time. I can now forget the FACA stuff.

After that, I went to church for giving appreciation to God. Then, while crossing the pedestrian lane, I heard an orchestra music. My ears searched for where music is coming from and it was behind the City Plaza stage and I watch them play. I talked to a guy who is somewhat an officer from the City Hall. He told that they are the City Brass Band. He asked me what instruments I play, since I told him that I can also play instruments, and he asked me to apply. That made feel so excited then. After that, I really looked forward to play on an orchestra band.
