music

       I remembered the first performance I had in Grade 8 for my elementary school band, I was so nervous and my hand was sweating like a dog on a summer day. I wasn't sure if I was playing the notes correctly! That performance went well...following that, I did auditions, and participated in many different bands, it was amazing to see the improvement I had on my instrument!
       Over time, I no longer got sweaty hands and "stage fright" symptoms, but yesterday, in my last Markham Theater performance, I felt that same feeling again. Yesterday was the last time I performed for my school, it was amazing to think, several years ago, I was a girl that was attempting to blow a note out of that black/white instrument. It was a pretty crazy performance, beautiful trumpet solo, in-tune notes, "special musical moments." I couldn't have asked for more...

       By blowing through the clarinet, I have learnt that:

  •  I must have confidence in myself
  • Always Try
  • Nothing is impossible
  • Listen
  • Blend
  • There is ALWAYS someone better than you
  • Second Clarinet doesn't mean you suck :)
  • Every instrument is important
  • Believe...

failure

failure. The way I feel about myself today...I did a horrible job and my head is filled with regret. I want to go back and do it all over again but that's simply impossible. Bible study yesterday was a big mess! I felt like I was speaking about the bible but not being productive about it. My group deserved a better bible study leader and a better bible study. I apologize to my group that they had to sit through that. I apologize to my pre-study leaders for butchering their prestudy like that...but most of all, I owe an apology to God. I'm sorry that bible study turned out like that. It's been hard to recover from this regret but I guess... As God continues to mold me into a better leader and prune me to bear better and stronger fruit...I will listen and dedicate my life to hear what He has instored for me! ~c.h.

slice of life: hospital playlist review

Image
        As a long-time asian drama viewer, my friends, family members and I always critique television shows for depicting unrealistic lifestyles and showcasing illogical love stories. Hospital Playlist is a clear exception, as it illustrates the life of five long-time friends who meet in medical school. They eventually wind up working as surgeons in Yulje Hospital. As they deal with the emotional roller coaster that comes with being a doctor, Professor Song-hwa, Ik-Joon, Jun-wan, Seok-Hyung and Jeong-Won also tackle normal life as a 40 year old. Just like ordinary humans, we often forget that doctors are also succumb to sickness, familial problems and career changes. The "slice of life" drama does not shy away from illustrating the two-fold life of a doctor- both as society's superheroes and ordinary individuals. Amidst their fast-paced work environment, viewers get a peek into doctors' lives, as they work tirelessly to maintain a sense of humanity in a highly stress

The last song that Rachel Berry sang on Glee was a Celine Dion song called To Love You More . This song means a little more to everyone today because a wonderful actor left for heaven yesterday. i just want to share some of the [amazing] lyrics to you "I'll be waiting for you  Here inside my heart  I'm the one who wants to love you more  You will see I can give you  Everything you need  Let me be the one to love you more"  God Bless, ch
