Learning again…

I hope you guys like the new design. :) I created it a couple of days ago, and only got around to coding it for WordPress tonight. I’m thinking the colors are too much, but I’d like everyone’s opinion before I change anything.

I mentioned that I’ve been teaching myself how to play the guitar again. The calluses on my fingertips are hardening and aren’t as painful as they were last week (thank you, rubbing alcohol). But I’ve been able to learn a couple of songs, I just need a bit more practice. Currently, I’m trying to learn this song. It’s been in my head for the few days, for some reason.

The weather has been horrible for the past few days. I was lucky it didn’t rain yesterday, so Lyndon and I were able to play tennis during the afternoon. Time to lose belly fat. Just a bit. Hopefully, it won’t rain on Sunday, since I hate commuting while it’s raining.

Which reminds me, I need to prepare an icebreaker for our small group this Sunday.

New guitar

New guitarLast Thursday, Don, Lyndon, Mei, and I headed over to Sta. Mesa to get me my new guitar.

After checking out several shops – it must have been close to five stores – we ended up getting one from Lely Bandilla’s guitar shop. It took quite a while, though, since Don was too busy flirting with the two girls who were looking after the store.

We walked out of the store after an hour. He took so long and was so busy, we could have transported industrial safety supplies to another island, and he wouldn’t have noticed that we had gone.

I’ll update this post with photos of the guitar soon. – Alright, updated! I wanted to wait until I had the pick holder installed before getting a photo. I spray painted it gray because the only color available was neon green and I didn’t want a neon green pick holder. :P I’m off to soothe my sore fingers now – I’m getting used to playing guitar again. :D

Getting a new guitar

I’ve recently decided to start playing the guitar again. :P It just suddenly came up while I was looking at accredited online degrees. Random, yes. The guitar is probably the only instrument I can really play, among all the instruments I studied.

A few friends are going to help me select a decent guitar soon, since my old guitar is falling apart. We’re going to look in Sta. Mesa in a couple of weeks. I still don’t know when. I’m really looking forward to it.

Hopefully, I’ll be able to take it more seriously now. I still remember most of the chords I learned while I was taking lessons.
