long time

My 2nd attempt to read an incomplete series is slowly failing again.  Did I give up on this part or did I read further this time.

Wonder how long old method would have took. Too bad didn't thoroughly research prior to planning.

Once again not a single question until thereafter.

happy new year

Been meaning to post. Will do so some other day.  Happy 2025! Best wishes and regards. 

Re duce use cycle cont

I blogged b4 bout straw folding into stars.

I collected a bunch of paper wristbands with print!

Today I finally reused four to fold and hold.

Comment below to learn what is inside my folds ;)

I hope I remember by the time somebody have to unfold.

Singing

I was never a good singer but my singing improved.

As an older adult, I just sing alone in my private domains, no choir, no public performance, etc.

This good morning, one of the first thing I did was sing along to a recording of great live music accompanied by great dancing!  They were performing in the evening, I forgot how many years ago, while I was singing at around erm... past 5 a.m. in the morning, being a time close to the moment of I just woke up from a peaceful slumber.  

Yesterday, while I was occupied, I had a thought about songs made for a well loved serie of movies.  The song I sung along to was not in a language I spoke nor read nor write; however, I always loved everything I saw and heard from the live performance recorded.  Another song made for the same "serie" had the same song name but in English and in a different melody?  I practiced the first two or three lines for less than 30 seconds in my head yesterday, I was the one woman performer playing all of the live instruments, dancing, singing and etc.  In otherworld, I mumbled-ly sung the English lyrics and call up in memory the sound I remember from the live performance.  I could only remember the first two or three lines of the English song so I could not practice for real without looking up reference materials.  In my head though, I already knew what I had to do to have fun in one of my private domains very soon ;) 

As soon as I woke up this morning,  I remembered my desire to try to merge the two related songs together with my best effort.  After rehearsing once with the recording, I decided to record my second practice and thereafter review my singing.  I was amazing!  The problems I anticipated with potential equipment issues occurred.  For example, I sang too loudly and too close to the microphone!  It was great morning for checking my voice and my equipment.  Now I can listen to my own music whenever I want! Hopefully no hacker will hack into my offline recorder and erase wavelengths from my recording so that they can hear an acapella version.

I apologize if I used some words incorrectly. It is 3 mins til 6 a.m. and I have not reviewed or edited this posting before it hit checkmark and post?

punky Brewster

Yesterday, I learned about Punky Brewster from a movie made by her.  I enjoyed it very much and I am happy I came across this documentary which she wanted to share with others.  I forgot the name of the movie already or maybe I didn't catch it from beginning to end but I remember the contents of the movie. At least some of it.  The person who played punky is nice, kind, sweet, warm, insecurity issues at times, expressive and loves to documentary & live.  She is now definitely a grown woman with her own family.  The movie contains her records of her teenage life which was complex, complicated, long and enjoyable with sad moments and more.  My teenage life is very different from hers so I got to know a lot less people.  For example, I never met her.  It appears she had more guy friends than girl friends. She is a lot braver than me so she's done a lot more than me in her teenage years.  When i was her age, I lived in Markham not Hollywood or New York.

Winter Wonderland

I almost bought ticket to this year's "Winter Wonderland".  I missed the sale price of $20 per ticket plus tax and processing fee so I will most likely not goto wonderland this year.  I guess I will continue to wonder how wonderland is dressed up for winter and how it feels to be inside the dressed up wonderland. There are lots of places to go. I want to find places with no admission fees.

I am finally sick

My sick story!

Fast forward to today, I woke up after sleeping for more than 10 hours but prior to that I did not sleep well for two nights in a row.  I bike rode, walked Finn, ate lunch, walked in a woodlot with autumn maple trees and other trees and more, grocery shopped, sent texts, completed yard work, ate dinner, showered, put dirty clothes into washer, played piano, hanged laundry, watched YouTube (and more like ZUMBA), now I am blogging.  It is almost 2 a.m.  Tomorrow no work so I can stay up late and sleep later (and hopefully wake up later than usual).

I digressed. I am sick and felt quite blessed to be sick because it's rare for me to have runny nose, stuffy ears and unclear airway due to common cold.  Hopefully it all clear up when I wake up because I want to goto work with my 100% tomorrow.  I enjoyed apple hot water with some Chinese stuff. I felt fortunate that I had apparel that can cover most of my air holes so that I can keep warm and don't let more cold air into my sick body working away to get back to my 100%.  I sweated a lot today.  I am now going to sleep. Goodnight. I already forgot what brilliant thing I wanted to blog on being sick which is unfortunate because it was a really good thought but it had slipped my mind and I forgotten what it was so I cannot share such a good thought with my non-existent readers.
