Still looking...

but I'm not. i'm looking at you.
it's time for u to be brave; I don't know how much longer I can wait..

this is Our weekend song. cuz that's pretty much what I want to do throughout the weekend...

Huge clean out!

So some of you may know that I actually have two Gmail accounts and...recently...one of them just got "exploded"! haha...so I am doing some major clean-up in that account right now as I'm typing...and I realize how many unnecessary "stuff" that I actually subscribe too! it is merely crazy!!! I'm killing them all now! Hopefully they won't return soon! ha

Pipe that pipper!

This Monday Kgo and I went to a local music store which is well known for its amazing collection on music sheets. It is located right in the first district.(more information below) While we're there, we picked up two tin whistles (or penny whistles) We got one in D and the other in C major. The way how to play it is very similar to playing a recorder, but tin whistle has fewer holes and the way how to play it is a bit different and one can change the pitch for it by adding more stress while playing it. Thanks to my elementary music teacher (and maybe junior high as well??), to pick up the notes for tin whistle isn't as hard as I've imagined, but to maintain a good sound and the right pitch and to play some more complicated music, I'm sure there are some practices required. I've been looking at two guys' channel on youtube for learning tin whistle and they are both very informative and helpful. And....following are the videos of me playing my first two songs! :) enjoy!

(我覺得他的演奏技巧比較好! 樂句較美, 不過也很有可能是錄音的關係所以前面一個人的聽起來沒有那麼好聽)

進行式。

進行式。皮膚下有血脈噴張，躍躍欲試的欣喜。異國的泥土呀，新大陸的風光；家鄉的溫暖呀，重逢時的淚光。

Can't wait. I really can't believe I'm going to be there this soon. It almost seems like too good to be true.

"just because she's lonely.."

When will I hear that from you that you care about whether I'm lonely or not?

Just feeling so not worthy all of a sudden.

oh forget him, go suit himself. I can hang out with more guy friends if it is okay with him too....


"if I am feeling lonely too"

Second week of July [part II]

After first weekend in Tahoe celebrating the 4th of July, we had our first and final yard sale for two days over this passing weekend. The turnout was not too bad! We were able to get rid of much stuff and had a little flow of cash with us.

Meanwhile, we are really lucky to find this woman who is willing to move into our apt. so that we don't have to worry about the lease and the rent for the following two months, which also means WE have to move out of our house. soon.

Too soon to an extent that I was a bit panic for all these changes. Because with the issue of not being able to find my way to Wien hovering over my head, I don't know whether I'm ready for all these either.

Second week of July.

I need you to be okay with this, with this constant changing and seemingly aimless, unstable living situation. You need to pull yourself together! Whether for you or for Jennifer.
Don't make her worry again before she leaves!!

Keep your chin up; crying and being upsetting won't do you any good...

Action, action, action!!

Think about what to say about the coming up talk you are going to give next week, think about the classes that you're going to teach...think about how you can make things easier for yourself and others, think about what other things you can plan once you're home....

(This will be a real reunion after 5 years...well, for my parents, this gonna be the first time in 10 years!)

I need you to be okay with this....BE STRONG, firefly.
