Jazzily Miri

I’m not a jazz person. In fact I don’t know how to define what jazz music is all about and I don’t even own a jazz album. But hey, there’s a first for everything, right?

Last weekend, without having any expectation, I’m having a great time listening and watching eight bands from all over the world performing what is called JAZZ music.

The eight bands are

Day One –Friday, 11 May 2007

1.The David Gomez Sextet from Malaysia featuring Junji Delfino from Philippines

2. KCP4 from India and Germany

3. Lluis Coloma from Spain

4. The Dirty Dozen Brass Band from New Orleans, USA

Day Two –Saturday, 12 May 2007

1. Orak Naa Naa from Morocco and Germany

2. George WashingMachine Quartet from Australia, UK and France

3. Habana Sax from Cuba (my favorite off all band)

4. and once again The Dirty Dozen Brass Band from New Orleans, USA

Lastly, Son2Nos from UK, Venezuela and Philippines who perform under the stars (on the open space) on both nights. WOW!

I'm Happy For You

Pissed Off

Thursday I was so pissed off over very very small and insignificant things. You know that feeling you get when someone does something that makes your blood boil + your face turns red + the muscle in your throat tighten.

Goshhh! I hate it. And at the end of the day, I regret having my energy wasted whereas I have so many other things to handle and manage.

and I’m impressed on how a friend of mine can stay cool almost all the time despite all the pressure and limitation he’s facing right now. I think I should learn the art of being cool.

Diving definitely can calm me down… hmmmmm

I am a...

Keeping It Real

Life is feeling a little hectic at the moment.

Work is insane. Friends and social life quiet. “Igloo” project – work in progress.

Relationship? Well, let's just put it this way - if "Relationship 101" were offered as a subject in school, I would have managed an F-minus. I would have been the worst student.

And below are three quotes that caught my eye….

Life can be so good if we choose to be happy and love the
people that we have, as opposed to people we imagine, we deserve
-anonymous-

The secret lies in the present - if you pay attention to
the present,
you will be able to improve it. And if you improve the present,
whatever happens afterwards will be better too. Each day brings us Eternity.

A happy marriage is a long
conversation which always seems too short

On Being Needed and Wanted

" The happiest people in the world are not those who have no problems, But
those who learn to live with things that are less than perfect."

____________________________________

There is a major difference in being needed and being wanted.

Sometimes, as i grow up it becomes good enough to be needed. i can't seem to distinguish anymore between that…. the feeling of being wanted - truly wanted for who you are and being needed - for people to acknowledge that my presence makes a difference or solution.

And i start feeling like maybe being needed, is just as good as being wanted.

But no it's not, really. It's nowhere near, as good - and I still remember what it feels like to be wanted and how good that is – where i might not settle for just being needed, as and when the need arises.

Being wanted means that a person chose to be there with me, not because circumstances has somewhat forced him to do so. Being wanted, means the other person is there for me because I’m just as important as he is, if not more. It's the choice - the commitment and willingness behind the choice - that makes it all so sweet.

Yes, i'm okay with being needed - but i realized today, how much i'd rather be wanted.

Happy day at PD

do you believe in star signs?

The Scorpio is one of the most prominent of all the zodiac signs. It represents one of the strongest, intelligent signs. The Scorpio personality is usually powerfully intense, strong, and persistent, and the trait of the Scorpio varies with both positive and negative characteristics. Overall, Scorpio's are generally powerful, independent, strong and probing.

Scorpio’s are strong, deep, mysterious, complex, and also secretive. They love to unveil the mysteries of life, and are usually very emotional, often keeping their own deepest mysteries and trials to themselves. Their emotions are often hidden or disguised by strength and motivation. They may appear to calm, stable and self controlling, but in reality they are actually very emotional individuals. The Scorpio personality is unlike any astrologically designed persona. Although it is extremely powerful, without the persistency of their own self discipline, they are more susceptible to pain. And when there is pain present, Scorpio’s feel it like no other because they are so deep.

Scorpio’s prove to be excellent friends. They are loyal and committed to their companions and are often vital roles in the lives of the one’s who love them. They are also extremely passionate lovers, but tend to be more complicated in the world of romance. The typical Scorpio believes in commitment and even marriage, usually only involving themselves with one partner at a time. Although, the Scorpio personality is one that will cherish the true aspects of love, they are more susceptible to receiving a broken heart because of their emotional traits.

Scorpio does have a problem with jealousy sometimes, and they really do have to work on it. Most of them will require proof before actually accusing, but some will go with their instinct. Since they are so intuitive, sometimes they "know" without proof, so if you are with a Scorpio,…… :-)

Scorpions are a go anywhere type of bunch that love to travel. However, more than the actual travel is the experience gained from such adventurous places as India, Mozambique, or Algeria. Scorpios prefer interesting places where things can be learned to places with pretty scenery and landscapes. Scorpios prefer to travel alone but are not against going in a group. When traveling with them, be prepared to follow their agenda as they will not let anything they wish to do be preempted by a group vote.
