My six-string instrument

  'As he/she strums and finger picks the six-string instrument, I fell in love with it and I wanted to learn them as soon as I can...' This is how I fell in love with playing the guitar.

  People may think that 'Why would a girl choose to play the guitar even though it'll harden their fingertips as they press the steel strings while playing?' and 'Why would a girl sacrifice her beauty over some simple instrument?'. But all I know is that I am one of the girls and I don't sacrifice beauty over some simple instrument. I play it with love and sincerity in my soul and mind. 

  Guitar has been a part of my life for about four and a half years now and I still love playing it no matter what. Inspired by guitarists like Sungha Jung, Taylor Swift and Trace Bundy who played it amazingly made me the person I am today who is always motivated to learn new chords and strumming styles I've never seen nor heard of before. As I run my fingers through those strings, the harmony and its serenity filled me with completion of peacefulness and I never got bored of it; even now. 

  It may harden the tip of my fingers but that is what made my confidence level to fly up higher than I was in the past. The hardened fingertips made me happy as I know that I've learned something new and I've been working hard on honing my skills the past few years now. I've never regretted playing it and I'll never regret it even in the future. 

  Girls can play the guitar all they want if they love it. It doesn't matter what instruments they want to play, from drums to harmonicas to electric guitars. They are all instruments that can be played by any gender and they can even be a professional in the future if they want to. Nobody can stop them from learning and playing an instrument that is rarely played by their own gender. In fact, they'll look even more cooler playing it; being a girl who plays the instrument that has been played majority by boys. 

  So girls and boys out there, you can play any instrument you want as long as you are dedicated and motivated and also, of course inspired to play it with love and sincerity in your heart, mind and soul. Be different as what I would say and be the one to show everybody how you can play well in that instrument through hours of practices and classes you go to! 

P.S. It's my guitar with Sungha Jung's and Agustin Amigo's signature and also a Marshall amplifier I gotten from great friends. ;) 

  In conclusion, nobody can stop me from playing the guitar - the instrument that I will love playing it forever more than any other instruments in the world! 

Meeting new friends

  Do you have any friends? Cause I do have heh. I've made a few friends these past two days and it was indeed memorable.

  I've recently started my university life as a freshman and I totally love it. But I guess you can say it's not yet to be confirmed since it's just the orientation programme going these past two days. Tomorrow's the last orientation and yes I am kind of sad about it but also excited to start my real 'military-like' classes as I would say. 

  Friends that I've met these past two days has its fun and awkward moments to be frankly speaking. You say 'Hi' and they responded with the same answer and that's it; you never talk to each other again and you'll keep on avoiding eye contact. There are friends who are much more friendlier too I would say; like the ones who would approach to you first when you're feeling like awkwardness and nervousness just crept into your body and your hands feel sweaty from all the overthinking about what should you do to have a good impression. 

  Making friends are like climbing mountains. You just meet them and you start to talk to them more and more, and eventually you will hang out more with them maybe during breaks and after classes. You slowly climb your way up to comfort and you see them as friends who will stay by your side forever. 

  That's why making friends are kinda difficult at times if you're an introverted type. But all I know is that introverted personality of yours doesn't affect you from making fewer friends. Being yourself and just as you are having fun with your high school friends who happens to attend the same university as you helps in meeting your new peers and friends you'll be seeing for the next few years in university. Take it as a life lesson and level up your confidence at the same time.

  Meeting new people isn't that scary after all so just relax and go with the flow as you be yourself and showcase your ability to make others feel comfortable around you. :) 

Food sure does a little part in meeting new great friends together too!
