passion for life.

yeah, there will be a march holidays special going on at sweelee with a 35% off all acoustics guitars! =)

but... now i have to contemplate between buying a new acoustic guitar before the chiangmai trip OR getting a digital camera for the chiangmai trip. dont think i can get the best out of two worlds in this case here due to limited budget. =(

so, i am going to make a trip to sweelee tomorrow to get my facts right about the sale. think i am going for the acoustic guitar if the bargain is really good cause i am going to miss it by the time i get my ass back. and, i still believe in my VS2's ability to take amazing pictures. (with a right person like me.) i will be aiming for this baby this time. i just hope it's sound will be on par with it's appearance. playability is also a big issue here since my first acoustic guitar is capable of making me bleed as my fingers fret the strings. if you thinking i got many guitars at home, you are sooo wrong.

now i only have one TGM acoustic which i will probably sell to cash converters one day, and an electric guitar which i exchanged with my uncle to try out. i gave the classical guitar which i bought to a renci patient whom i was helping for my CATS project. he is bascially this guy whom loves the guitar. he was apparently a rock star and played the lead guitar in his band, but one day he figured out he can fly.... after taking drugs. so, the story is he got half-paralysed after 'flying' off the building and got admitted to renci hospital even since. its been almost 10 years and he never got the chance to touch a guitar ever since. i got so emo after hearing his story i decided to give one of my guitars to him immediately. i dare say the guitar gave him a second lease of life, i will always remember how he sung for us while strumming on the guitar. the guitar may only be one of my guitars... but to him, its probably his dearest for the rest of his life. anyway, i only got 2 guitars la...

every guitar tells a story, mostly a sad one. a typical one would be how the owner got interested in guitar playing for a couple of weeks and thus bought a new guitar with all the passion in the world; determined to command the guitar with frightening control like steve vai. but, 9 out of 10 would probably give up after some time because they cannot manage a simple chord progression properly.

for me, there are a couple of reasons why i want to learn the guitar.

1. i wish to learn some form of music.

2. someone once said that girls would like the ugliest musician...?!

3. i just love the art of this six-string instrument. its just so versatile; blues, jazz, rock, metal, pop, classical... you name it, it will probably play it. and shredding is one of the coolest shit ever, it just feels good to be able to sweep your fingers effortlessly across the fretboard. (with accuracy in tone)

basically, i just love the guitar and feel i will bad not playing it for even one day. yea, no doubt i am lousy but at least when people ask me questions like what is your passion in life? what is your hobby/interest. i can answer with confidence....


i like to play the guitar.
