half-hearted

Lately ,i can't focused in my practice .It's so frustating when you can't do the stuff right .And at this rate i'm not enjoying the violin very much .I thought it's better for me to browsing than practicing right now (i don't want to practice with this attitude) .I saw another spectacular performance by Elli Choi .Click here to watch it :)
I envy her .Not only her skill ,it's her will that makes her that brilliant .I can't believe that she's improve that much for about 2 months .I started thinking ,she's still at that age yet she has matured more than i do (and she learned violin at age 4) .She's just amazing !If i play violin at her age maybe i can be like her .But it's just a foolish excuse .And i think i'm being half-hearted up until now .But i need to keep practicing .I want to enter the audition ,and i hope that i passed .
Hope just not enough .Efforts is what matter .If a 7th years old girl could done so much improvement ,then so do i .haha ,i want to think that way ,be an optimistic doesn't sound bad .Well i want to try my best .I'll pace up my skill .I know being half-hearted is bad (maybe the worst) .But you'll need time to overcome it .I'm sure that i'll overcome it .When that time comes ,i'm sure i;ll enjoy violin better .Wish me luck friends :)

about my holiday


 
La Corda D'oro Secondo Passo
a must see !


holiday finally here !hehe ,i've got my school report already ,so i can spend my holiday in relieved .Luckily there's no bad scores .The worst one is 60 .Alright ,i have enough of school .Let's just switch topic .
About my last violin lesson .Finally ,my teacher praise me for the 2nd time (i don't think that he's realize that he praising me) ,he said that my technique is better than irene ,and if i'm not mistaken ,he also mentioned that i should be able to reach her level if i practice seriously (he said it may take 4-6 months).Okay ,i'll be serious in no time !After that ,he give me a new lesson for double stop .Double stops sure are hell !But somehow i manage to be better at it .
Due to the holiday ,i can practice all the time ,but sometimes i feel frustrated !So ,i just started blogging in time likes that .Right now ,i'm focusing myself on bowing .I need to do some correction of my bow hold .It's not like i'm wrong ,but i think it's not the proper bow hold .Besides ,i want to improve my bowing ,little by little .
Ah !Finally the new season of La Corda d'oro has released (though there's only 2 episodes) .Do you watch it too guys ?It's awesome ,and i like the manga too (the manga story is a bit different though) .I bought the La Corda D'oro secondo passo .It's great !I want to watch the rest of it .But they haven't finished it yet in Japan.I hope they finished it soon .I can't wait !
About the audition that i've talkin about in my last post (Twilite Youth Orchestra) .They said that the audition hasn't fully decided yet .But ,they think it will come on April .Well ,it's good ,then i can practice even more .I hope both irene and me will passed the audition .Well ,just wish me luck in my practice :)

N.B : I'd like to say merry christmas and happy new year to all the world !May God Bless Us !

enjoyable moment

Hi friends !how's your day ?Mine is boring !I can't wait for school holiday to come !I was so bored that i wanna take a day off from school (it's okay if there's no lessons ,right ?) .But my mama won't allow me to do such thing .She asked me to bear with it .And i come to school *yucks* !There's nothing to do in school .they're just doing silly things ,like classmeeting .
Well ,when i reach my class ,i can't believe it ,only 6 student that arrived already (and in the end it still 6 ,it's include me) .Ooh ,they must have a nice day right now .And i'm here stuck by myself .The other class is the same as well ,there aren't many students comin .Oh mom ,i just want to lying on my bed .
Ricci 1 is a based catholic school ,and christmas is coming ,yay !So the school held religious ceremony (i don't think it's right ,in Indonesia we called it "misa") .And all the student must participate .Luckily there's a few of my friends that still coming .So i'm not alone ,haha .Well ,we have set a plan !We're escape from all of the silly school today !So right after the ceremony we start our moves .And our destination is Kristina's house (a.k.a itin's house) .


look it !it's itin's house !cool isn't it ?

When we reached itin's home .She looks terrible !(She's not even take a bath !and just wearing pajamas ,moreover her hair is sure awful) .Maybe she's got quite  shock ,haha .Then after she take a bath ,we're having lunch together ,here comes the fried rice !*yummy* !
Itin's house is so big ,and filled with extreme decoration .There's an arwana statue !So freak !We started online and play Ragnarok .Wow ,i can't play it ,but i make an avatar .I'm confused !what should i do ?i can't decide on jobs either i want to be a mage/acolyte .In the end i choose mage .Oni done created my avatar .But i can't understand it !Aah it's better to do things that i understand .

take a look at this pic !itin is a drinker ,each day she drink about that much water !

I started read her comics ,wow as expected ,she's hiding her comics !there's so many of them ,i can't decide .Sure things that we talked a lot .And i come to think ,that this day isn't too bad at all .It's been quite long since i enjoyed my time with my friends .Maybe i need to do a refreshment today *wink*    ;)

fire up !

Hello friends !How was your day ?Mine is spectacular ,thanks to my friend ,Cory and Kimberly ,haha .You know what ,this week i've gone to Wijaya Musik 4 times (2 times by myself and the other 2 is accompanied by my friends) .But thanks to it ,i've memorized blok m already ,haha .Even the employee of Wijaya Musik has recognize me .She even ask me to bought a violin case ,haha .Sure i want it !But give me more discount please  ,i'm just a high-schooler sis =)





Today i finally got my string !I bought an E string (evah pirazzi) .It's said to be a good quality string ,and it said that compared to obligato ,this string has a brighter tone .Sure things i have no problem with it ,since i'm not advance enough to understand the character of strings ,at least i know they have different character .But talking bout it ,i admire a warm and gentle sound .It's soothing !haha
Okay i'm so happy right now ,hahaha .I've finished all the freakin exam (finally no more exam) .Moreover ,i've got enough time to practice (with new strings and bow) .Aah ,life is treating me well ,haha .I must thanks to god for his blessing within me .I want to play my violin soon .My teacher always tease me ,that i've never practice .I hate it for sure .He's cruel ,he doesn't know how hard i try .It's quite a shock when he praise me (But it's only come once from his mouth) .I admit that i'm not as good as him ,but i'll reach his level soon .
He don't know anything .I want to practice too ,but i can't do it without strings .I'll beat his student up !Practice even more !And the holiday is comin too ,life sure's great !

Here's some of my reason :

1. I'm a girl

2. I love writing !
aah ,i'm not good for talking (sometimes i can't find a topic to chat with my friends ,haha) .But i can do it better in writing .I think it suit me .
3. My own matter
I love violin !But there's only a few who loves it too .And i decided to write all about violin in this post ,hopefully i can get some new friends who loves violin too ,hehe
4. School is boring !
I hate study .I hate almost all subject in my school (i just like P.E class ,Music ,and English) .Well ,school is tiring & it's a bit useless (in my opinion) .In that case ,i made this blog to relieve my stress ,haha .

Of course there's still more reasons ,but the most exact one is right up there ,haha .Beside ,i enjoy blogging .I know i can't do it right ,but i'd like to try ,wish me luck friends !Finally ,my exam will end this week ,i can't wait ! :)

i'm all new !

Hi guys !I'm really really excited ,hehe .Guess what ?!I've finally bought a new bow and strings ,"giggle" ,i can't bear the fun !hehe x)
I bought it in Wijaya Musik shop .They're all so nice and friendly ,and top of that ,they have great selection for string instrument (and the prices is reasonable too).About my new bow  (The brand was carbondix) .It's so great !It's deliver the tune well ,aaargh ,it's kinda hard to explain .But ,seriously it sounds so clear and ,maybe you can call it "soft" ,or something like that .I can't get the right words to describe it ,so sorry :(
Aaah ,i wish i could play my violin soon .Well ,right now i can't do any practice .I don't have any strings .Ooh ,i did buy some ,but i have a problem with it .It's so unfortunate of me .I buy a set of string ,and my E string is not the same brand with the others .Uuurgh ,so i have to go to Wijaya again and trade it soon .
Oh no ,violin is really kills my wallet .I don't have much cash in hand .And there's something shocked me today .You know about my violin case ?Okay ,i'll describe how awful my case is .First of all ,I can't close my violin case (It won't close ,so the heat can be through my case) ,i'm afraid that it harms my violin .Okay ,in second ,my case is a real eyesore ,it makes people won't believe me that there's a superb violin lying inside (hahaha ,just kidding) .
The employee of Wijaya also told me .It's better to change my violin case .Ugh ,i know it's pretty bad ,but i don't have any money .She shows me some collections of violin case .Ah ,i'm so ashamed .My case is a true eyesore .I've promised myself .Right after chinese new year ,i'll change my case !But ,it still quite long .
Okay ,my instrument is in a great shape right now .I love you Ruth !Moreover , i fell right to practice now !Can't wait until tomorrow !hehe ,please wish me luck in practicing friends ,i'll try hard ! :)



 

What do you think about those cases up there ?
Pretty cool huh !Well ,for me the green one is the best .But i can't bear the price !
