Fragments

What a day. Been long time I've gotten such good rest. Holidays are certainly very enjoyable.
I still have four days more of such lifestyle. Slurps.

I've been watching this anime, "La Corda d'Oro" Spanish for the Golden String. It's a shoujo anime (reads mainly for female audiences), slightly reverse harem (a story which revolves around a female protagonist and many {good looking} male characters that eventually may/will fall in love with this main character). The plot is good, I suppose and the main reason why I'm watching it is for the music. It's music-orientated, in fact very. A story about a girl who is from the normal stream of a school with both a music and a general department (knows nothing about music), suddenly meets a fairy and given a magic violin. She is unwillingly shoved into the intra school music competition and pit against other outstanding music students in the academy. All of them, magically, are extremely good looking/cute young dashing men who are also coincidentally,virtuosos in their major instrument. A complex tale of music, romance (in fact, unbelievable to a certain extent). Sadly, the story is definitely written from a female point of view, in fact, a young girl's point of view. So much that it can get disturbing. You see every possible type of a cute guy in this series. From the pretty boy with long silky hair, extremely polite, to the messy hair forever sleeping bishounen genius (reads:super handsome) all to the way to the warm and friendly trumpeter. After several episodes, I could conclude that this series is so much for a girl. And tell you what, I'm just watching it because the piano major pulls fantasie impromptu off in the 2nd stage and is bound to pull off something bigger in the next few rounds. I still don't get why I'm amazed by it. On top of that, the instruments include Piano, Violins (the protagonist and another guy), Cello, Clarinet, Trumpet and flute. I get to listen to probably rather famous flute and cello pieces. YAY.

Other than that, I've not been doing much. I slept yesterday away, and the two hours after I woke up at about 2000hrs I fell asleep again at 2200 hrs all the way to 1000 hrs this morning. It doesn't amaze me why I'm not sleepy right now.

I went to buy a new pair of shoes with my dad just now and I realized my current one is so worn out (been wearing it for everything from school to casual to sports) for one whole year. No wonder the rubber base is already gone! Damn friction!

It's been some time since I had that " I'm not going to leave this seat until I finish blah blah blah" attitude. I want to go into that mode soon. Chopin Ballade no 1 in G minor is so beautiful! It's musically demanding, technically demanding (some really insane parts!). I'm going to play it right to show that the nicer pieces are generally hard pieces. My brother is already shooting me for playing impressive pieces that are not nice to listen to.
