Tantalizing Thursday

Today is Thursday, which means I shall share some things that are very interesting. (Hence I’m calling this “Tantalizing Thursday”). First thing that has been very interesting this week is youtube. I never knew youtube had such a huge music variety. I mean sure, I always knew you could find Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, and Demi Lovato on youtube. But I didn’t know that there were all these different artists’ that I never even knew existed until Tuesday. Here are some of the songs that I have been enjoying lately:

Youth by Daughter

Featherstone by The Paper Kites

Copper Down by The Boy Who Trapped The Sun

Steal His Heart by Emily and The Woods

Solid Ground by Maps & Atlases

A Walk by Tycho

Daydream by Tycho

Good Occasions by Marble Sounds

Paper Birds by Parachutes

Travelling by Paper Lions

To Be With You by The Honey Trees

Dancing In The Dark by Mat Kearney

And this next song I thought I would just throw in for the fun. I don’t know why, but I somehow think that this is one of most beautiful songs. For some reason I love this old fashioned kind of singing.

The Second Star to The Right from Peter Pan

Random Ramblings?

I have realized that my blog posts often aren’t that long. Today, I shall try to share more, and not leave so soon.

In violin I am preparing for an audition in June, and I’m learning this Bruch Concerto. Unfortunately I’m not nearly as amazing as Joshua Bell. :) Plus, I have to prepare an etude and two excerpts. So far the Bruch concerto has been much fun, and I really do love the piece.

My orchestra is having a concert one week from today, and I have extra rehearsals. For choir, we have a concert in two weeks, and also have extra rehearsals. I’m just glad those rehearsals don’t overlap! Haha! (Next Saturday I have choir rehearsal from 1:30-4:30, then orchestra rehearsal from 5:30-8:00).

State testing is in less than a week, and I’m getting more and more stressed out. Will my parents be disappointed in me if my score is low? No. However, I am a little bit of a perfectionist, and I just want to do as well as my full potential will allow. Just keep on studying, just keep on studying...

Also, I have my math test in two weeks for the high school that I will be attending next year. This test will determine whether or not I have to retake Algebra 1. I’m praying that I won’t have to retake it...trust me, it was bad enough the first time. I have no desire whatsoever to revisit the pain next year. Haha! xD

However, in my spare time, I have been stalking my friend’s tumblr. Off to bed now!

Sunlan’s Week is Only Four Days?

Yeah...that whole goal of posting every day for one week lasted only three days. What’s my excuse this time? My brother came home for spring break, and my computer was therefore his computer. Also, my relatives from out-of-state came and we went on lots of fun adventures. (:

However, I did take lots of photos in this time period, so I shall leave you with a couple of photos and a song.

Music Heals and Changes Live

Isn’t it amazing how music can bring out the innermost emotions from our bodies even when we didn’t know they existed? Whether you’re a singer, instrumentalist, dancer, or even just a person who likes to listen to music in your room, you probably already know that music can help heal and change lives. I quite honestly don’t know where I would be today without music.

People Help the People

I’ve been obsessed with this song lately. There’s something so pure about Birdy’s voice that goes perfectly along with the message of the song.

My Breakfast

Why does my breakfast always consist of the same food each morning? I have no clue...I always have a cup of tea, (either green tea, or vanilla tea) and I always have a piece of toast, (with either honey, or margarine as a topping). That’s my whole breakfast. It really isn’t the healthiest, and I probably should include some fruit or other foods that include more nutrition, but I always eat this for 
breakfast. Habits are hard to break!

I shall leave you with a photo of my tea cup, and a song.

Hi There!

Hi! Where have I been? Well...I had rehearsals with my orchestra for a whole week straight, (42 hrs of playing in one week) and the week after that I got the flu and was completely exhausted...Okay, so call it laziness and I’ll apologize to you. (;

However, to make up for all my negligence, I decided to make a blog post every day for a week. And in these blog posts I shall include a song in each one. Does that sound like fun?

Anyway, today after my math tutor, my sister and I went to a painting place where you can paint pottery. We painted a plate in the shape of a sunflower, then ran over to Paris Baguette to buy us a each a little pastry. After that, we decided to completely disregard calories and buy ourselves a drink at Starbucks. Today has been a extremely good day. (:

What Have I Been Doing Today?

Studying. One simple word, but yet, it takes about 50% of my daylight time. Why? Because I like to conquer my homework when it’s still light-out. Which just means I practically never see daylight. Haha. That’s probably why my skin is the color of Edward Cullen’s...I should really spend some time in the sunlight...

Anyway, I study better when I am motivated by songs. The songs that motivate me are:

-Speechless (Lady Gaga) Jayme Dee Cover
-Home by Gabriella Aplin
-Safe and Sound (Taylor Swift ft. The Civil Wars) Savannah Outen ft. Jake Coco Cover
-We All Try (Frank Ocean) Erin Kim ft. New Heights Cover
-Breakeven (The Script) Max Schneider Cover
-It Will Rain (Bruno Mars) Pia Mia Cover

P.S. Sometimes it’s hard to not sing along and get distracted. (:
