Piano Recital

Piano Recital

The 3 older kids participated in their first ever piano recital last December 11. And they did extremely well! They did not make any mistakes at all. I was an extremely proud mama!

They each had 2 piano pieces to play although DS had an extra one because he played a duet with DD1. I was teary-eyed with pride as I watched my precious ones perform.

DD2 played Mary had a little lamb and Jolly Old St. Nick. DD1 played My Bonnie and Frosty the Snowman as a duet with her brother. DS played Joy, Joy, Joy and Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.

At the end of their recital, they were all called to the stage and given a trophy. I had considered getting them flowers too and presenting them after their performance but did not have time to swing by the flower shop. I also thought to order online, maybe have an EZBloomers.com flower delivery to surprise them. I'm keeping these ideas in my back pocket for next time.

A word on hip-hop

A word on hip-hop

I'm not much of a hiphop gal. I like some but mostly, I don't approve of the culture. But there are awesome rap artists out there who conduct themselves respectably, I think. I like Jay-Z and Wyclef and of course, Black Eyed Peas. Are Black eyed Peas considered hiphop? Anyway, you gotta love a multicultural group! And of course proud of a kababayan!
Well, there's a new hiphop/rap site out that lists the new releases, top artists and such. They even have a forum for those who want to connect with fellow afficionados. It's fairly new so there isn't much activity in there yet. But I'm sure once it picks up, you'll get a lot out of it.

What is playing in your mp3 players nowadays? DH got me an iPod nano for my bday in October. I'm looking to fill it up with new music. I have my ole standbys of course but I'm looking for new recommendations. I'm wondering too what new good Filipino music choices are out there right now? When we were driving back from Vegas, it was Eraserheads that was playing to keep DH entertained. It seems like it was ages ago since their music debuted!
Can you share your playlists? I'm also looking for music I can exercise to. I am mostly a soft rock/alternative kinda gal so it isn't always the best kind of music for working out. I really don't like house music/electronica. Any recommendations?
