Songs and Space
why does it seem like all i keep talking about lately is choir? ok so to be honest i love choir and i really cant help talking about what goes on every week...
we're preparing for Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter now, and while most of the hymns and songs we're doing are really beautiful to sing and learn, they're also incredibly sad... they're all about death and sacrifice..
and i cant help it if they make me feel all sad inside...
i know i've done some bad things in life and have said/done some things i'm not proud of, and i'm probably ungrateful for alot of things and a bunch of other 'sins' if we can call them that...
so singing these songs about how someone up there still loves me despite my numerous faults, and was willing to go through all that torture and suffering and eventual death just so i could be redeemed and forgiven for them... well it just gets me...
i'm not preaching religion, i'm just sharing what i feel when i sing stuff like this every week, i'm not forcing anyone to understand it. i'm a proud Catholic, but there are some things about the church i dont necessarily agree with or understand. lets just say i'm a Catholic because i love God and His principle of trying to be a good person to yourself and others despite temptations to be cruel; rather than being a Catholic because i agree with what the church says..
so lets leave my personal beliefs at that...
back to choir... someone heard us singing Tu Es Sacerdos a couple of weeks back and has now hired us to sing for her wedding in May.. *snerk*
i'm blending in quite well with my section now... some of them actually ask me to join them for lunch and stuff and we've got a good camaraderie.. probably cos there are so few Descants and we're all around the same age..
been working at RC for a while now and YJ's finally satisfied with my progress. well yea.. all i needed was a little more practise and a touch more confidence to take care of the store by myself, which i have been doing for the past few days...
just to refresh, RC is a toy store run by my friend YJ who decided to give me a job there since his other staff left. pay aint great but he does give me good discounts on Transformers so i'm not complaining.
speaking of TFs... the numbers keep increasing... Galaxy Force is up to 17, (added Vector Prime, Starscream and the Micron Team to the collection) i'm out of space on my little shelf, there are new Animatros guys coming in, and now i'm thinking of getting a Galaxy Convoy..
Flame Convoy's gonna be Dreadrock-sized.. where the heck am i gonna put him?!?! not to mention Wolfang and Saidos and maybe even Terashaver..
i've also managed to complete my 3 G1 Seekers with an anime Starscream that i got for a steal at Dotcon.. also got a Smokescreen and a Stepper for dirt cheap. woohoo! go me! and now i've gotta find space for these guys..
and then there's also BT Wheeljack and G1 Perceptor coming... gaaaaah! i need space, slaggit!!!
