Franz Schubert

So today I did some background research on Franz Schubert cuz I am playing his Impromptu in E Flat Major. If I want to play his music well first I have to learn about him, the composer, right? Well, I read about his childhood, adulthood, death, composing styles and stuff. I know this is kinda, well, out of the topic, but did you know Schubert was nicknamed "Little Mushroom" by his friends? And he did not own a piano (because he was too poor) so he had to borrow his friend's. One day he suddenly had the urge to play the piano, but when he got to his friend's house, another person (not his friend) was already playing it. So he left quietly, and as his friend observed, he sobbed in his bed like a little child. I feel so sorry for him. I mean he was SUCH a brilliant artist, but he was so poor and died at the age of 31. Oh geez. But his pieces are absolutely wonderful.

Minecraft

I played Minecraft for the first time ever in my entire life last night.

I was being such an idiot at it.

All I could do was to hammer blocks into pieces.

And I got myself stuck in a deeeep tunnel I dug...

That tunnel was so deep.

I just kept on breaking all the blocks

UNTIL I COULD BREAK NO MORE.

Then I planted flowers and mushrooms

And accidentally broke them too.

I need to learn how to play minecraft. -.-

Huha Muwahahah

I love my life these days. Waking up at 9:00 or 10:00 in the morning, watching tv then doing some theory/ear training/piano stuff, then nomm nomm time, then nap time. It's just sooooo relaxing! But when I go back to school everything's gonna be soooo different because there are gonna be tonnes of work waiting for me to finish. I know a lot of my friends are taking the piano exam in August. I WAS gonna take it in August, but I am in Frankfurt right now so I can't, and so the time was changed to next January I believe. Oh well. More time to practice and prepare!

My friend Asma wrote me emails and she told me that it's super hot and sunny in Richmond. I think the weather is probably the same in Vancouver as well. It rains a lot in Frankfurt these days, but the rain just came and went quickly.

Yesterday I spent some time renovating my blog site. I changed the blog's title and the wallpaper as well. I like my new Tuzki flower wallpaper. It's so bright and it makes me feel so warm.

Slug Day

It rained SO HARD this afternoon. Oh geez the clouds just gathered together and cried. Well the rain didn't last very long. I took a walk with my grandparents after a delicious curry potato dinner. I wanted to pick more wild strawberries. You know that a lot of worms and slugs come out after the rain right? Well they are not exactly my grandma's favorite animals. My wild strawberry spot is on this mud hill and wild shrubs grow crazy over there. So I saw a lot of slugs. They didn't look so attractive to me. We have yellow banana slugs in Vancouver which look so cute right? Well here I can only find brownish or blackish poo-like slugs (ewwwwww). Some of them were curled up on dandelion stems nomming the leaves and stuff. Hhahahaha. I only picked three wild strawberries and I didn't even eat them because I was kinda scared that the slugs might've licked them already. Or so my grandma said.

ME THINKA

I've been thinking: it's August already, and one month later we are back in school. I really really wanna stay with my grandparents, but I have to go back to Canada. Oh geez. I am gonna miss them so much when I leave Frankfurt.

Talking about August, I think it's kinda "cold" if you know what I mean. I can't hang out with my friends. I know this may sound ridiculous and funny, but I am actually a little bit nervous for my new year. I do this every year before a new school year. It's not really a good habit I know.

Okieeeeeeee, enough about that. Sighhhhh

I don't see Carina going on google chat very often. She does reply my emails pretty quick though, but I have not been very successful at finding her going on google chat at the right time. CARINEH I MISS U. Cynthia goes on daily, and sometimes she even stayed pretty late. CYNTHIAAAAAAA UR NOCTURNAL! Hhehehehehe. :)

I miss my friends.

Wild Strawberries

OMG I can't believe I found some wild strawberries on the way back home from the store. Geez. I still have them (I picked three and ate one). They smell REALLY delicious, but their size is just petit. These berries are really really small. It's kinda hard to compare them to the strawberries we have in supermarkets. Oh trust me, although these berries smell good, they don't taste that wonderful, rather smushy. I spotted these berries because of their vibrant color and their leaves (three leaves joined together to form a big leaf). I really do think they are real strawberries because they look exactly the same as store-bought strawberries except a couple times smaller.

Flowers, WILD FLOWERS ME SNIFFA

Today I picked sooooo many wild flowers with my grandma!!! Oh geez they look so beautiful in that tin can. ME SNIFFA. Purple Pink Yellow Orange White Blue Green. So pretty. I had to rearrange them because I still have some flowers from two days ago so I got rid of all the rotten ones and replaced them with fresh flowers. Oh geez. They are gonna last for at least two or three days. I am so happy. :3

ME SNIFFA FLOWERS. Germany is so beautiful, so fully packed with colorful wild flowers.
