February 1 - 7, 2010: Music and Me

I have not sat down and listened to good ole music for sometime...... like seriously listen and lose myself. I was like that in my college days.... the days when good music reigned..... I am into any genre but I especially love Jazz, Samba, Latin, R & B ......

I was into my normal routine of checking stuff in my Facebook at the office on Monday morning. I was working too on some stuff..... ssshhhh. Without much thought, I clicked on Be a Fan of 24/7 Cool and Smooth Rhythms..... Viola, I rediscovered my music.... And it's never been the same after that accidental discovery. I started playing a song I like.... Then, it kept on coming. Before I knew it, I was requesting for my own favorites.... The site administrators are so responsive to their audience. At the time of my discovery, I was using a rather short ear phones left in my drawers. For two days, I strained my neck listening to all those songs from morning till I was about to go....... while working, of course, and farming too..... I multitask, yea!

I decided to do something about it. I got myself a nice headset that Tuesday evening for my listening pleasure. I excitedly brought it to the office the following day..... and it's like ecstasy. I am back to losing myself to my music.

The site itself has steadily grown its fan base. It now boasts of being the largest growing site in facebook with more than 3,500 fans even before its monthsary. I myself promoted the site to my brother and friends. We would mingle sometimes.... stupefied by the songs that thrilled us in our youth. What's great about the site is the interaction among fellow music enthusiasts. The site is not limited to jazz but songs of different genre. The administrator on board would cater to the beat as requested by fans of the site. Requests are easily granted. I used to have all my requests granted when I first joined the site. Maybe, like a first timer winning at the Casino. But now, that a lot more fans are requesting more songs, the administrators have to make a good balance of song choices. I still get many of my requests posted.

Music soothes and inspires me..... With music, I have caught up on my writing too. I am proud to say that publishing this post before the week ends puts my blog up-to-date.... ya'y...... and I think I can make it. On the other hand, work suffers...... big time. With 24/7 CSR, I am like a kid given too much space to run around.......

Coming from school on a starry Friday night, I walked the lonely trail to my home, .... The darkness gave way to a beautiful sky light and I could almost cry.... I feel like washing my soul...

I couldn't sleep that night from the coffee my student offered me which I couldn't refused because it was bundled with munchkins. I turned on the TV... Indecent Proposal was on at HBO. It has been showing for a number of nights and I never can seem to watch it in full. That time was perfect as I couldn't sleep. I actually watched this film in my youth when Demi Moore was the natural beauty that she was and not the perfectly chiseled mannequin she is now..... It was good watching the movie again as it gives one another perspective.....

In the weekend, I would get a text message from our boss thanking me for the speech I made. Was she reading my mind or did she happen to read my post........
