Music and Phones Today

Sometimes I really can’t get a hold of myself especially when it comes to music. Like for example, today.

Earlier today while at practice, I felt a sudden surge of excitement as we were practicing a particular piece. Suddenly the music took over my body and I had played with so much power that I accidentally dropped my phone and cracked its screen!

It was such a bummer because I’ve never broken a phone like that ever in my life before. I’ve always taken such good care of my phone but unfortunately, today was not my lucky day.

Not to say that my phone was not made out of a sturdy material or anything but in the phones defense, I dropped it at a pretty high height which explains the busted screen.

So, I broke my phone and now I need to find a way to sell my broken phone! My daughters were teasing me about it at first and were telling me to try a colored water project on my phone to make it at least look artsy. But at my “young” age, I highly doubt the appropriateness of that proposition.

I kept ALL my music on my phone, every music artist I love. It’s very important to me to get all the music back up and running on my new phone!!

So instead, I asked my friends around and they told me that there was an effective way to sell it online and with their expertise on the internet, I am currently in the process of finding a new home for my banged up phone. The only downside of having to sell a damaged phone is that of course, the value of it is decreased by more than a half even if it’s just the screen that’s damaged. But anyways, I don’t really care anymore- I just want a phone that doesn’t require me to squint whenever I look at it!

Hopefully, I’ll be able to buy a new phone by the new year so I’ll have enough time to figure out how to use it and also be able to take pictures of my family when the clock strikes 12 for new year. I’ve been thinking about getting an iPhone 6+ but I am also intrigued by the Sony phones since I’ve been reading a lot that the photo quality of the photos are top notch. But I guess I’ll have to decide later on when I’ve already sold my old phone.

Or better yet, maybe if I share this post my wife will buy a new phone for me!

Music & Beauty

Who can know the depths and crevices of music more than me who has been into it even before he knew it. No kidding here, I am a true admirer of the best things in life – from Nutella to my baton that waves with a swish and music starts making life more worth it. Really, there is no point in not speaking highly of great things such as nature itself that endures us and nourishes us to the point of mortality.

Music helps me breathe, stay hopeful and act passionately in all that I do. Being an orchestra instructor, after all, has taken a toll on my life experience in terms of the immense amount of time I spent on just learning the basics of conducting an orchestra. Symphonies – sad or happy, lively or dull – are deeply weaved in my fabric and this is actually what I am made of. And you just can’t win the debate on how impressively music can affect one’s mood and outlook on life. It can make you verve with energy or get depressed with dark notes.

Music makes life beautiful, and beauty is the essence of everything that we love and aspire to. Not necessarily the flawless beauty of a ramp model – I am referring to beauty as an abstract emotion that you can relate to anything, even something that others find ugly. It’s a matter of perspective, and mind you, music also takes a lot of perspective and judgmental processing.

But yes, looking good (if not necessarily beautiful) is a fact of life.

I feel for it especially because I have hit my 40s and understand the pain that comes with a pot belly and uncontrollable body expansion. There was a time I was genuinely worried about my climbing weight despite the fact that I am no food freak and never had any genetic predisposition to overeating or obesity. But then, I realized that my sedentary lifestyle is the real culprit.
