| I did my best! I played Chopin's, and Yoshinao Nakada's compositions. I haven't been on the stage at a classic piano concert in 10 years, so it was really thrilling! I trully appreciate that my teacher gives me so much. Although I had some mistakes during my play and I I was in tension, I also had a good time with other students, their families, and my teacher. I wanna play better!! | | |
| Well, how do you get up and move on after this kind of "accident"?
I have a friend in Kitakami city. I didn't mean it at all, but the result made her feel so dissappinted. What should I do? To be more specific, she is a voice traner, piano teacher. I happened to get to know her after I came to Iwate. Since then, I really appreciate her kindness. She gives me so much info, and I got to know the other people here, participated music events because of her. The other day, we were chatting and she happened to ask me what I was doing earlier on the day. I said to her that I was in another piano-teacher's house practicing the piano. Yeah, I should have said that earlier to her that I've been taking piano lessons somewherelse. But to be honest, I just clicked when I found the teacher and decided to to take lessons at once. But I didn't even mean to keep that secret. And since I wanted to be open, I said the truth to her. But when I told her, her face became pale and she told me "Well, if you wanted to take lessons, I could have helped you. You could have asked me first..." I feel really sorry for her. If I were her, I know that I would feel exactly the same as she felt. But it's to late, so I need to come up with something to keep our friendship. Maybe I can put this in the air for a while, and wait til I know what I need to tell her, what's missing between us. Right now, I guess I'm not ready to face with her. I'm too emotional, and wouldn't be able to lead to the situation I want... | | |
| I attended to my friend's wedding ceremony and the reception last weekend. I played 3 tunes on the piano (1 classic, 1 jazz, and 1 pop song with my friends' singing). Although I was nervous until the last minute, but I became all right at my real show time. I did my best! Believe or not, I have one wedding per month for these 3 months, and I'm asked to play each time. I feel honored, and now that one was successful, I hope to do well at the other 2 weddings too. | | |
| I'm doing very well!
Although the earthquake was quite big and I was s so scared (I really hate earthquake!!), nothing fell on the floor and it didn't lead us to any big trouble. But I never want to be waken up by that kind of scary thing!
The photo I put on this page is, yes, Legacy. My (our) second car has finally arrived! My very lovely first car, you know, Honda Accord which I miss (:)) is gone now, and this is the second one that will let us enjoy Kitakami life! I need to practice driving again (I haven't been driving since I came back to Japan), need to learn about this area.
In this coming weekend, we're planning to drive to Sendai which takes us 1 hour and half to see Gospel festival. Sounds exciting! | | |
