That Time of the Year

Dec 13th 2012Family Matters

It’s that time of the year when gifts have been wrapped and ready to be given to their rightful owners, deserving or not, lol.

For our youngest member, the self-taught guitar player, I thought she would be asking a top ibanez but no, she asked for a violin.

Fickle yes but the interest in music is still there, as well as the interest to make wonderful illustrations.

She’s going to be surprise when she unwraps that gold and red package we have for her 🙂

Christmas Wish

Nov 22nd 2012Family Matters

Last year, we gifted our youngest daughter a guitar.

Bunso's Guitar

For this Christmas, she says she wants a violin. Hmmm… I think there will come a time when she will ask for Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom. I wouldn’t mind and if we can afford it, why not?

For now, I am sure children around the world are in their best behavior because the season of gifting giving is just around the corner.

Consider this when you go shopping for gift, will ya?

Korg X5

Sep 17th 2012Family Matters

My daughters and my husband love to use our Korg X5. It is an old Korg that has been with us for almost 16 or 17 years now but it still works just fine.

Here is a link to the photo of our Korg X5.

I have featured the Korg here and here. Elder daughter uses a pair of mini speakers when she plays but the younger daughter uses headphones.

The hubby said he plans to look for korg kaossilator at the music stores in the nearby mall. We always encourage the children to learn more about music. My younger daughter is also learning how to play the guitar.

Swimming Fun

Sep 12th 2012Family Matters & Me & Philippines & Photos & travel

My kids love swimming.

pool

Even in cold weather, they will gamely dip, splash, dive, float and paddleswim in swimming pools. In the photo below, can you feel the cool weather? In the part with trees, the fog/clouds are slowly making their presence felt. But no fog nor rain can keep these kids from enjoying the cool waters.

I’m sure if our room in this resort had clawfoot bath, they will still enjoy staying in there.

Good thing they always eat healthy food and take their vitamin C supplements, they didn’t get sick from swimming in the cool water.

Self-Taught Guitar Player

Aug 8th 2012Digital World & Family Matters & Home & Photos

This is my daughter teaching herself how to play a song, using her guitar. One tab is opened for the chords of the song she is playing and the other tab is opened to an internet radio station where the song she is listening to through the headphones is playing.

Guitar

Photo first posted here.

I’m sure one day she will ask for bigger guitars to play with, like a squier 51 or the likes. For now, we just enjoy listening to what she can play with as she learns how to play by being self-taught.

The Piano

Jul 8th 2012Digital World & Family Matters & Me

No, I am not referring to this piano at the MIL’s home.

I love short films and I particularly like this: The Piano

The hubby is great with keyboards along with the eldest daughter.

The youngest daughter used to play the recorder and had wanted me to get her flutes and piccolos, very much like the days the eldest wanted a harpsichord. Harpsichord? I don’t even remember seeing one so it was really something we look back to and remember fondly 😉
