my first test!

a persistence cough......

arghhhhhh.... when i thought i got rid of the sore throat, his cousin cough decide to come visit and stay a while....-.- voice is totally wrecked with all the sore throat and coughing.... argh... other than that, things have been great!!! God has really been watching over me even with the cough and sore throat. ^^

despite all the coughing and pain, i was able to do most things... except to sing. normally, it won't be that bad but i have 2 choir performances this week. one was yesterday, Fishtank's graduation recital, the other this coming saturday. but despite my badly wrecked throat, the hall was really easy to sing in and i think we pulled off a reasonable performance! went in and listened to the rest of the recital. well, my conclusion about modern composition: i guess i prefer normal music. ^^ i am still pretty much a newbie at this music stuff so i couldn't understand most of the 'de-constructionism' of modern music. -.- not that they are bad and i am cringing but rather, i just dun understand most of them. perhaps when i achieve a higher state of enlightenment. ^^ meanwhile, give me regular music anytime. recently, i have been listening to Morten Lauridsen. His music is beauuuuuuutiful! can just sit there listening to it over and over again... really tempted to buy the scores. hehe.

today was hectic at work. it's PAYDAY!! and i am in-charge of issuing pay. problem: i have no idea how to do that. luckily my boss was in the office and she guided me thru the process. The end result: 3 happy employees and 1 bz boss. ^^ feels really good banking in that check, even though, i am sure it will be gone in no time. argh. i need to learn how to manage my finances. Lord, grant me the wisdom to manage those resources.

REVIVAL!

This week has been a week of revival!! One, the revival of my fire for God! somehow, i feel really encouraged by God to push on and grow in my walk. He has shown me wonderous things for the past few weeks and I am thankful for all that He has done for me all these while, never letting me go when I was away from Him. This is a period of personal revival for me!! woots... been simply waiting for too long, not enuf action on my part. Pray that God will continue to sustain me and enfold me in His love as i continue this journey of faith. And ' Teach us to number my days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:13' Be with me and guide me each day as i grow in wisdom and stature in You!

The second revival: well... u are reading it! this blog!! i think.. lol. not sure if it is gonna be a permenant revival but since i am free in the office (dun let my boss know the existance of this place!!) guess, it's a venue for me to speak and pour out my feelings/thoughts. bwahahhaha.

The third revival, is that i found new joy in singing in the choir. Was really encouraged by the story of the Phillipines Madrigal Singers, their vision and their music. I want to be a chorister like them!! to develop myself individually and within the choir. The younger members in the choir has also been extremely encouraging!! they are SOOOOOO nice..:) Thank God for such people in the choir who continues to push themselves and do their best for the music. Sigh... i really love choir music. Currently hearing Morten Lauridsen 'Lux Aeterna'. it's soooo beautiful. :) have a sudden impulse to start a new hobby : collecting choir scores!
