Because God provideth

I think am quite sure God works in so many ways we don’t see, know and understand. That works somewhat great because everything turns out pleasant at the end of the day, so I believe.

Looked through some universities I may be interested to enter and there are actually a lot to look at. I’m not sure what I am looking for, unfortunately. But I think God may be trying to interfere with that, especially when I’m starting to evaluate my options in a different light.

And I’ve been having awesome conversations of sorts with michelle. Then again, they’re barely considered conversations because she hardly replies. Please note that down. I wanted to ask you about edward but I didn’t have the opportunity and memory to remember, will try harder next time.

Everybody has been rather emo, I think. There has been an influx of family pictures - from past to present - uploaded on facebook and a lot of interaction which never existed before facebook came into the picture. Maybe technology did change things and made it easier for us to approach each other, but I realised the departure of a cousin, soon to be two, has somewhat impacted the family a little. There are questions, concerns, sometimes unnecessary, which demonstrates what I cannot put in words.

The week begins again and I am determined to make something happen. I’ve started a reading program of sorts, I really think the idea of a reading log is terrible but the idea of consciously putting in effort to read regularly isn’t. And so, I’d really like to read 52 books this year. Been working on it. Didn’t have time to head to the library during its opening hours and most of the books I wanted are borrowed already, so I’d make do with what I have - I still have three unread books.

In my attempts to make my time less futile, I’m bringing in a guide to sight-singing to work. Planning to work on rhythm only, and maybe some sight-singing if I am in the mood for it. Got a few academic books about music and singing I haven’t gotten down to read/read in detail, which I plan to soon enough. I figured sight-reading stands a higher priority. It comes with 160 exercises and I’m hoping to work on rhythm through the entire book in two months, and probably another two for pitch. And there are two other sight-singing books I’d like to get through.

:)

In plan is also to finish reading twenty-four arias in twenty-four weeks.

Many plans in place. The moleskin is doing a good job in keeping down such records. I really hope I wouldn’t fail though, it’ll suck really bad. It’s about time I get things going.

By the way, the first time I used the sight-singing book was 2007. It’s been two years and I’m still at it. Oh Dio!
