Hello Hivers and hello ladies from this community. How was your day? Hope that you're all fine. Upon seeing the challenge for this week, I think I can contribute some of my thoughts from the questions there.
Musical Instruments I loved❤️
Talking about musical instruments, I have two of them in our house namely a guitar, and a bandurria. All of it belongs to the string instruments and my favorite of them all was the bandurria.
For some who did not familiar with these stringed instruments. Bandurria has 14 strings and it is played with the plectrum or picks. A pear-shaped wooden string instrument with a neck that brings the main melody of the song.
I learned to play this 14-string instrument by attending the rondalla ensemble in our church. My cousin who was a music teacher taught me how to play this -string instrument called bandurria. Starting from lower notes ( do re mi da sol la ti do) to the higher do re mi notes. He let us familiarize ourselves first with the notes and correct position of our fingers. Shifting from one string to another and then repeat, repeat, repeat.
At first, I find it difficult in a way that it has many strings but after a week of practice I find it easy to play. Through familiarizing the do re mi notes from low key to high key I was able to play the bandurria confidently. I always played these instruments every Saturday in our mass and even evening in my room. I often bring this to school if ever boredom strikes and it's one way of destressing myself.
I used this instrument for concerts for a cause, caroling during Christmas, or even occasions like weddings. Together with my sister, we are now a member of the Nailon Rondalla Ensemble.
A simple Birthday celebration
Living every second, minute, and hour is a great blessing for me. We don't know the exact duration of our life. So as long as we live we must cherish every moment with our families, relatives, and friends.
Be a blessing to anyone and be kind always even if others do not because God sees what's inside our hearts and minds. Be a person with a purpose every day.
I don't want to have a spectacular event where everyone is invited and wears extraordinary dresses and suits. With lightning everywhere and a big tremendous event happened in a very luxurious location. A lot of food preparation and huge cakes were in front. I'm just a simple girl who wants to live a simple life.
If this will be my last birthday, I only have one simple request from my family. I want to celebrate my last birthday in the orphanage. Together with my family. I want to have a party with the children there. I love seeing how happy they were while having lots of food to eat and gifts to unwrap. I love children. Yes, I do. I visited Bogo City orphanage and I promise myself that before I disappeared from this world I can revisit there. I know friends may forget my good deeds and some remembered my bad side but I know for sure that God sees what I'm doing and he never forgets all of it.
During my last birthday, I will assure that my relationship with my family and friends was on good terms. Accepting I'm wrong if ever I have grudges against them.
I used to celebrate my birthdays with free cakes, and simple foods to serve. A birthday is just like a simple day in my life. So on my last birthday, I want to celebrate with them together with my family.
Challenge Accepted. That's all for my entry. Thank you for reading.
God bless everyone. Have a wonderful day ahead.
