Poems
Meeting you was fate
Becoming your friend was a choice
Falling in love with you was beyond my control

We may be like lightning and thunder whenever we fight

But theres always a rainbow after every storms in our life.
That symbolizes promise that I should never forget
To love you forever no matter what,
That even the strongest storm will never put it to end.

Why I learn Music

Not because we want to major in music
Not because we want to play or sing all our lives
Not so we can relax
Not so we can have fun
ButSo we will be human
So we will recognize beauty,
So we will be sensitive
So we will have something to cling to
So we will have more love, more compassion,
more gentleness, more good in shot more life
Of what value will it be to make a prosperous living unless
We know how to live?
That is why I learn musicthat is how I learn to see more of myself.

Akoy parang isang relasyon

Sirang sira na pero pilit na kumakapit sayo
-Sirang tsinelas

Money doesnt make us feel rich,

Being rich is having things we can be felt that money cannot buy.

Life of Mozart
The documentary was good telling the whole life of Mozart and also
his untold stories how did he started into a musician until he became one of
the most renowned musician in the world and it also features o his great
works performed by an orchestra such as Symphony No. 40. It was just
really amazing that since he was really young, he started building his name
in the classical music industry.
I was really amazed that he could compose songs without using any
instrument, using only his mind. His compositions were mostly lively, playful
just like his famous compositions, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Eine
Kleine Nachtmusik. He was really a genius. And also the fact that his music
have a lot of good effects in this modern era which we called the "Mozart
Effect". A lot of studies show that listening to Mozart's music especially for
pregnant mothers can result into smarter and more active baby. For these
reasons, Mozart became one of my favorites.

NUTCRACKER
The music for the ballet was composed by Peter Tchaikovsky during
the Romantic era. Tchaikovsky was asked to compose music for a ballet
based on a story called "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King.
As I watched the recorded performance of the ballet, I noticed and
observed how they danced, how they sway their hands and step their feet.
The nutcracker ballet was not only dancing but also there's an acting. I
found out that to be a
great ballet dancer is also to be an actor/actress.
Observing the element of the music, there were many shifts in
dynamics and mood which the characters reflected in their movements. For
example in the opening piece the music was light, bouncy, had instruments
playing higher notes, and children were dancing on the stage. When the
music changed to a more serious tone with a slower tempo, key shifted
down, less flute and more use off lower sounding instruments, during that
time the adults were dancing.
I haven't got the chance to finish the movie but all I can say is that
what's important is that you got the idea of it that makes me appreciate the
art of ballet dancing.

The life of Tchaikovsky

We watch an documentary about Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky and
knowing him, he is the most beloved of all Russian composers. His
profound melodic gift, exuberant orchestral imagination and unequalled
ability to strike right at the core of human emotion continue to thrill
audiences all over the world.
During the Romantic period, he composed masterpieces mostly fit for
ballet such as swan lake and nut cracker. He also composed for orchestral
pieces1812 symphony. We watch the recording of an orchestral
performance and the music was so stunning as the brass parts plays their
parts in confident way and the strings section unitedly. This is one of my
favorite for we played this piece in the orchestra before.
