Music Ministry


        Here I am again playing violin in Balanga Cathedral. But this time, it's only me who played there. My teacher asked me if I could play on their intermission number. So, why hesitate right? He said that it's 50-50 chance that the church priest will be able to play the violin part. That's why he contacted me to substitute there just in case Fr. Perry could not make it.

       We played Aquino's Medley that was arranged by my teacher Nesty Enriquez. Instruments were 2 flutes, violin and a guitar accompaniment. We only practiced the day before the event. I know, it was a 'lil short practiced but it's okay because I know that we can do it! =)


        On the day of the event. Surprisingly, Fr. Perry said that he's gonna play the violin part! So, how about me?? That's what I thought. My teacher decided that we could duet together. Problem solved! =D It was a very lucky day for me because I did a duet with Fr. Perry whos' violin's an antique Stradivarius that was a gift to him with his great great great (how many great!?) grandfather! Ahhhh! Wish I had some! Yes, their clan's a musician particularly violinists.

        That was a memorable event of my life! =)

New violin; new Life!

           I had to sell my Mozart violin because of some reason. Honestly, I cried, the time when someone bought it. Good thing my mother was there to comfort me and said that there's another much better violin for me. And it happened!

           I named it "Chen" from the brand Bachendorff. It's an antique style violin which I really love the most! Most especially the fittings of Chens'. I think Chen was destined to me. You know why? Because when we bought it, it's already the last stock on the store. Oh by the way, we bought it in Lyric Trinoma Branch. =) Another good thing that amazed me was the case of Chens', a rectangular one! I really wanted to have one and it came true! And I also love the bow!! =D

       
           
       
          Other accessories that I bought was the shoulder rest which I badly needed 'coz of my neck! >_< and a branded rosin (I don't like stock rosins ^_^).

          I know that when time goes by, my Chen will bloom into a warm and brilliant sound! I bet! =)))
