Pasasalamat Sa Mga Huling Sandali

-
2015 started fast but then midway, it slowed down and it showed me how I could live without forgetting every step. I begin the last day of the year with much gratitude for the new things life has allowed me to encounter. This would simply be a short list of people I've met only this year. I hope that I have made my thank yous felt even with words unspoken when we crossed paths during 2015.

Social Media Day 2015 allowed me to discover and rediscover things. It (re)connected me to blogging, theater, Spoken Word, and introduced me to a Twitter family full of love online and offline. This is also a reminder to always take pictures. I'm glad I took what I could during #ChangePH.

The Soshal Network consists of the three of the greatest bloggers I have been introduced to this year. These three genuine lovers of life simply started writing and, as they say, everything fell into place. When you get the chance, please do get to know them personally.

I've been exchanging tweets with Leo for a while before I personally met him during #ChangePH. Definitely, meeting someone in real life makes the friendship better, especially if there is common love for theater, movies, and other forms of art.

I've been first exposed to Spoken Word when Yabang Pinoy's Bigkas Pilipinas was released in 2007. Rediscovery came with Words Anonymous. Yes, you have to watch them live. Online videos simply do not give you the complete experience of what Spoken Word truly is.

In Twitter, it's almost inevitable that you look for groups for you to belong to. You meet some offline but there would be those that don't quite fit in with who you are. Noelle made me believe in what "fam" really is.

Before a single note is played, there is already a journey waiting to unfold, one that moves not through space, but through centuries of sound. On January 21, the Far Eastern University Center for the Arts opens the doors of the FEU Auditorium to that journey with Tones Through Time: A Musical Odyssey , a free admission informational piano concert led by internationally acclaimed pianist and educator Dr. Raffi Kasparian . This is not simply a recital. It is an invitation to listen with context, to hear how Western music grew, shifted, and responded to the world across generations. Through carefully chosen works and thoughtful narration, the concert traces the evolution of musical language from the Baroque period to the 20th century, guiding audiences through Classical balance, Romantic emotion, Impressionistic color, and modern experimentation. The result is an experience designed not only to be heard, but understood. Listening as Learning Tones Through Time: A Musical Odyssey is buil...
