its the weekends.
5 weekdays seemed like a hell long time to pass now.
drained.

so sch stuff has been filling my mind recently.
not a good thing.
had proj meetin today.
somehow cant seem to find what was needed.
maybe it's just me.
couldnt broaden my own thinking.
a lil narrow-minded perhaps?
so yeah..i've to get the stuff done soon.

so, headed back to church today for session.
after the 5 bloody days of sch.
always wonderful to head back to church after the trials of reality.
back to a place where u can just be true to urself, and everybody else.
thankful for being a catholic all the way. never regretted it.

year 1 of poly life is approaching its end.
an interesting year i'd say.
met people i've never thought i'd get to know.
indeed quite an experience.
taught me certain things.
it gets harder to be urself.
sometimes it can be tiring,
just succumbing to the harsh realities of sch life.
things you never wanted to happen/bring across.
quite a lesson too,
was making mistakes on my part.
but i'm grateful for the things that happened,
for it brought me back to appreciating the stuff that we'd normally take for granted.

been an interesting year.
and quite a hell of a ride too.

around a month more to exams.
havent started the dreaded revisions.
but i say,
bring it on.
its a challlenge to the mind.
lets see if we can hang on tight and focus.
well we've no choice too eh. tsk.
needa welcome myself back soon to the impending sense of doom,
and do something about it.

gta catch up on more sleep.
always feelin lethargic recently
dont like the feeling.
i need my dose of swimming/running.
need my (already pathetic) fitness back.

ciao.

feeling a lil more fatigued than usual.
sch is real drainin these days.

being tired is a lame excuse.

was thinkin a lil bit bout music.
so went to find some music quotes.
found this one that kinda struck me.
which i'll mention later.

music. its really a universal language huh.
no words spoken. yet feelings can felt.
music transcends speech.
really quite a level above words.
i think its one the very few things left in life,
that is true to itself and cant be manipulated.
man, without music.
i dont know how'd live. really.
i'd lose the thing i'd always come back to.

even though i've not reached a level
where i can truely let the guitar speak or shout what cant be expressed in me,
(i hope i'd be able to do that someday)
i found great joy in music.
there were times i used to openly put down music genres that i dont listen to.
(okay, im still guilty of this)
but im very fortunate to have met some wonderful musicians
people who have broadened my perception of music.
truely grateful for that.

well just overall,
music is a true and pure gift that we were given to enjoy,
and express what words cannot.
a shelter that we come back to, a joy that we all enjoy.
i love music.
though i've a long long long way to go in this.
but its a wonderful lifetime journey that i'm loving.

thankful for my cousin who started me out on a classical guitar.
its been a wonderful 3-odd years on this guitar journey.
started off with the poppy stuff. with some pop-rock and acoustic stuff along the way.
i still like those stuff. esp acoustics. beautiful.
then i got introduced to the blues.
mayer, clapton, hendrix, SRV, BB king, robben ford, larry carlton.
these guys (and more) came into my musical journey.
how their guitar became a 2nd them, and expressing whats inside of them.
awesome stuff. but i'm really very far from what i hope to achieve. hah.

hope to eventually get into jazz blues, dabble into some rock and their instrumentals.
learning some country stuff would be great too.

music's a lifetime journey.
i'm enjoying the ride and all the joy and comfort it brings.

and finally, the quote which really struck me and making me type all those nonsense that came outta my head. hope it gets to you too.

so there you go, my little (insignificant) ramble on music.

"Music is what feelings sound like"

latetimes.
