It's a busy week

It’s a busy week but will be a memorable one.

“The Chinese Medicine Night” falls on Tuesday, we have a lot of fun. Everyone stay from the beginning of the show because we already pay much attention on this performance, and want to the presentation. It’s worth! It is worth of our sacrifice of time to ask for perfect! We should give ourselves a big hand, for the hard working and for the happiness we spread. “The Chinese Medicine Night Market” is on the next day. I think it is tiring but still it’s fun. During the whole week, we sell products to customers. I have to say that it is a good way to practice the skill of speaking, especially how to talk others into buying your goods. ^^

reflections of "Genesis" and "Hajleluya"

Saturday I went to Taipei Medication University to practice the part of chorus of “Genesis” by Austria composer Haydn, and today the chorus of school I join practice “Hajleluya”. “They are great songs, but not in my everyday life,” I am not used to these songs before I have myself sing; however, it is not true. In some way, I can feel the emotions being writing down between the lines, and sometimes while singing, I can experience the compliments that the composer wants to give, even though I don’t have religious belief, I am moved.

Not for the presence of God, but the passion those people emerge toward God.

An interesting workload

Today we had an extra class about making the products of Chinese Medicine’s week. This time we will sale those products we make. It is interesting, but the process of producing is no funny thing. We form some lines like factories do, and we are unpaid labors- even worse than child labor in the 18th century. But there is nothing we could complain about, it is I decide that to offer helps. For fun. Sometimes you just need to convince that it is worth to have some fun in life, if it does not scarified too much!

story series2

The grandma want to prepare some special gifts for her lovely grandchildren. She hasn’t seen her family for years because the father of those grandchildren is always busy in working. This time they stop by is only because the parents will go abroad, and they need a person to take care of the two children for a month. But grandma doesn’t mind. She is never too happy to see her child though her son doesn’t think so.

An upcoming book: The Buena Vista Sisters’ Club

"This is the extraordinary story of Anacaona, a glamorous all-girl orchestra which stormed to success in Thirties Cuba and became the toast of Old Havana. The 11 sisters took their exotic ‘son’ rhythms across the world before fading into obscurity after the Cuban Revolution. Here, in an extract from a new book, saxophonist Alicia Castro, now in her eighties and one of the surviving four, recounts how it all began."

I draw some outline about this report of a Cuba's girl orchestra. I can't wait for the publishing of this book, and hope you all could enjoy it!

outline ------------------>>>

Anacaona started out at a cafe. At the thirtys, girls were not regarded to earn their own livings but stayed at home surportting her family. Although the circumstances was harsh, the arthor told us that "there was nothing I enjoyed more than going every evening from humdrum Lawton to the vibrant nightlife of Old Havana; or that initially father was dead against us performing in the open-air cafés, saying there was no way his daughters were going to work at night near the sleazy bars and brothels."

They are talented girls. Elevent sisters composed this chorus. Though team members changed as time went by, the spirit of this orchetra will never change.

"Every now and then we’re invited to award ceremonies, because our Orquesta Anacaona, which played together for more than five decades, was declared part of the “cultural heritage of Cuba” in 1989."

reflections --------------->>>

I haven't seen this book yet, but I am interested of it. Years ago, I saw a movie talking the story about a family band from Mexico. I am impressed by the movie, so Iwill watch every movie or read autobiography concerning to this topic. However, the Chinese book salers don't seem to appreciate thiskind of book, I read not much.I am happy that my English is improving and then I have a choice to know more people about this group. ^^

Oh~it's very cold out there

It is really cold now!

The temperature today has dropped fast, at least five degrees, and it started to rain heavily. It is really terrible! I was then going back to the dorm, the wind blow harshly, and I tried hard to hold up my umbrella in case that it was blow away.

Please do not rain in the following weeks~
