Playing the Guitar

Ever since I was young, I always wanted to play the guitar. I actually learned the guitar when I was in Grade 3. My brother taught me a song using four chords, G Em C D. However, that was all that I learned because my brother's guitar got lost. But  I did not forget how to play. In high school, I wanted to ask my parents to buy a guitar but they couldn't afford it. So, I was only able to play when my classmates in high school brought their own guitars. Now that I have a job, I was able to buy a guitar for myself. My guitar is cheap but I am pretty satisfied with it. I want to improve in playing the guitar. This page will feature the learning process towards improving my guitar skills and expanding my knowledge in guitar playing. I hope you could join me in my journey. Thanks!

On Becoming a Blogger: Using Images in Blog

Hello anyone who might be reading this. Whenever I have nothing to look for in the internet (rather, when I think I've had enough stalking Jeremy Lin, of Charlotte Hornets as of the moment), I always look for topics about how to earn money online. Included in the list is blogging. I've always wanted to try blogging because I want to develop my writing skills and earn money at the same time hopefully. And today, I decided to continue what I started and I thought about writing about my dream home. I would have wanted to share the picture of the tiny house featured on Youtube. However, I realized that if I had the intention to earn money out of this blog, I have to use materials that I personally own. On the other hand, I was also thinking that maybe I can use pictures that I do not own in my blog if I just credit the rightful owner. However, I found out that unlike plagiarism, copyright infringement cannot be avoided by providing attribution and giving credit. This is why, I wi...

Why you should read books

My style of writing is that I follow chronological order. I think I haven't developed a different style yet due to limited reading. Honestly, I don't really find reading enjoyable. It only makes me sleepy. However, if I could make up other reasons, it's partially because, I am not very open minded. I don't want to know things that will change my perspective. I don't want to read love story novels because they will stain my innocence. (I apologize for such way of thinking.) But now, I'm trying my best to change this kind of attitude because it's not good. I also know that God wants us to develop our skills and talents and share them with the world for His greater glory. For finding reading not enjoyable, I have not improved in writing. Back in college, I considered myself lucky if I had a high grade for my essays and compositions. But I can remember one time when my teacher asked me to read my essay because he said it had no bullshit and so straight to the po...

My Reminders

Just recently, I found my notebook in college. As I flipped through it, I was really amused about what I wrote there and so I just wanted to share it. I remember that I made it during my senior year in college to remind myself that I shouldn't miss the chance of graduating, and now I can say that it really helped because I did graduate. So, it went like this! Reminders: 1. Don't always underestimate yourself. Also think sometimes that you are great! (because I actually have low self-esteem) 2. Others underestimate you because you let them. However, don't also be so proud! 3. Finish what you started. 4. Always think about your parents who are working hard to send you to school. 5. Only buy delicious food when you've done something good or achieved a goal. 6. Don't daydream. Be realistic. 7. Don't slack off. Do what you can do today. 8. Think many times when you're buying something. 9. Don't refuse when something is asked of you and you can do it...
