Piano Lessons

Day 1

Nothing much. Mga tatlong lessons lang naman ang pinagsabay-sabay ni Coach. He asked me what kind of music I preferred and what my favorite songs are, and all I could manage to answer was, "Wala akong favorite. Kahit ano, huwag lang rap."

He gave me that strange look, or probably he found me strange. What kind of person has no favorite song? My favorites depend on my mood. Sometimes, the weather. Or the day. Haha, weird. I’m not human. Weee.

He asked me if I knew the song Alone, and I asked him back if it’s the old, Heart song. Not that I knew other Alone songs. He kind of played the first part and I was startled. Haha. I’ve been wanting to play that song without using mighty YouTube to search for a tutorial. Anyway, Coach told me that we (or I) would focus on learning that song and I might as well sing it

NO WAY. 

I made the petty excuse that I’ll play and my sister will sing.

And I found out later that I was serious about that.

 

Wait a minute, did I mention that I don’t like rap? Oh, I don’t. Sora wo miagereba… (big HAHA).

Day 2

Coach was late. I don’t really mind. My mother does. I don’t care. He wrote the chords of Alone. We were already at note reading, and, I swear, I haven’t absorbed that much information until now. Was it that hard to read notes? I can play Canon in D.

He wanted me to play around with the chords of Alone.

Wow.

Day 3

Coach wasn’t there. I think I know what happened, but I won’t say what it is. I always don’t.

There was a… new coach. He taught me how to read the notes (again), but slower this time. He was the one who told me, "Naturo na ba sa’yo ‘to?"

"Opo."

"Pero hindi mo pa naaabsorb?"

"Haha, hindi pa po."

A kid arrived. When I said kid, I meant he’s in 6th grade. He brought his own keyboard. It was about the same size and probably had the same weight as the one I have here, but I really mind bringing that thing every other day… SA ROCES AVE.

Poor kid.

He was fine. Though I think it was a little hard for both of us to learn together, because, well, I am older than him and, most likely, I learn too fast. And the keyboard he was using was better.

Heh, the irony of it.

My brother went with me and he was probably thinking of his past piano lessons. The piano lessons which were stopped because of the teacher who tried to sell eyeglasses to him because HIS EYESIGHT IS POOR. His eyesight is poor? What?? If his sight is poor then how about mine!?

I think he’s also not human.

That leaves my sister. Haha. Hello, Ate. Baka binabasa mo ito ngayon. Special mention ka.

Books

Twilight

We (si Ate yung isa) bought some books last Sunday (two days ago). She bought, uh, Sophie’s World? Tama ba? And a small book which I’ve forgotten the title.

Anyway, about Twilight. So we bought it two days, uh, nights ago and I finished reading it the next day. Yesterday. Only for a day. 500 pages? Yes. And I’m starting to read

New Moon

now. Actually, I’m beyond starting. I can finish reading it tomorrow if I want to, but I think I might go somewhere so…

Eclipse

OUT. OF. STOCK. Great.

Give me this book and I’ll be the happiest.

 

By the way, Twilight broke my record of reading a book. Tuesdays with Morrie is an exception. It’s short. I read it within one sitting.

Memoirs of a Geisha - Three days?

Cage of Stars - Two days.

New Moon - Who knows? 

 

I still have a list of books to buy. Yehey for me!
