Ukulele - Sir Gregory

         I recently bought a ukulele because for some reason I was yearning to have one. The original plan was to replace my old guitar but I just can't resist the ukulele. I just have to have one. This beauty right here is a Greg Bennet brand and it plays really awesome! And I named my ukelele as Sir Gregory. :)) LOL

       The moment I got home, I just played it right away. I learned the strange new chords of the ukelele, but my hands were dancing perfectly with Sir Gregory. They were just a perfect match. I was playing for hours, that I didn't feel or even notice the skin on the tips of my fingers that I used for making the chords were damaged, that they were peeling off. They weren't even painful. 

      We find moments like this in our lives, where we own them truly because we are in sync with everything that we are doing and feeling, that everything seems to be at peace and at its proper place even just for a while. You own that moment and yours alone- not hard, not easy, but just you.

       I used to play the piano and I immensely enjoyed it. I became very good at it when I was just a kid. I spend hours practicing not to become better but because I was happy playing the piano and that was enough. It was really like my hands had a life of their own, running, dancing, prancing, walking.. But the magic disappeared when my parents expected a lot from me. And people just assumed that I play the piano really well. Playing the piano wasn't fun anymore when I live off to OTHER people's EXPECTATIONS. I did not own any of it. It wasn't me. It was them. So I was just nothing, but a frustrated pianist. 

       Then I found the guitar and the ukulele. I'm not a pro or anything. I just love doing what I do. You don't have to be the best in everything you do. Just love what you're doing because life is too short for you not to enjoy it. 

       Happy living! xx

        

      

        

        

What We Can Learn from Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries

          We could learn a thing or two from Kim and Kris' wedding.. And no, it's not that kind of love. What I think happened is that Kim rushed things too far. She has loved the IDEA of a "perfect wedding". But a wedding is just a wedding in the end. Too often we focus on the outcome or the result we want because it's like a fairytale or a perfect ending, like being rich, being the best bookseller, being a famous movie star and all that. But that is the END part of the process. You have to love the PROCESS more than the outcome. If you love the outcome more than the process, then how will you get there? 

         People become famous or have great success not because they were born with innate gifts to achieve them but because they have loved the PROCESS in achieving them so much that with that great love and passion they achieve great things. 

         Kim has loved the IDEA of marriage, but she didn't foresee that it requires constant hard work. No matter how different two people are, as long as they are both willing to work things out, then they will last a lifetime.

         I myself, love the idea to become a doctor, but I'm not really sure if I would risk all my efforts and actions to get there. I'm not sure. I don't know. And if I get there, will I love being a doctor? Or do I just merely want the two letter, M.D. written at the end of my name? 

         It's not enough to want something. You have to be sure that you will risk everything to get there and that you will love the "process" of "getting" there. You should love what you're doing and what you should be doing to get to the "END RESULT" that you are dreaming of. All I'm saying is with great love for something and with a great deal of obsession for something (in a good way), you can be limitless, as long as you never give up and keep on holding on, fighting for your "DREAMS".
