How many other things are we missing?



“A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.

Three minutes went by, and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace, and stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet his schedule.

A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping, and continued to walk.

A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.

The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.

In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.

No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, on a violin worth $3.5 million dollars.

Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.

This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste, and priorities of people. 

The outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour: Do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected context?

One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?”

My fave parts of Emma's Speech.

 "So, I looked up the actual definition of trailblazer, and it means someone who blazes a trail to be followed by others."

"Those people are my creative trailblazers, but I'm not following any of their paths, and what's incredible about them is they help make me want to be more myself because they're all originals,"

 "But that you'll continue to harness your own originality and what makes you unique 'cause I know that when you're a teenager — sometimes when you're an adult — what sets you apart can sometimes feel like a burden and it's not. And a lot of the time, it's what makes you great"
Aww.. Emma!! CONGRATULATIONS!

Tricia

Call Me Maybe



So LSS with this song and it was such a shame to say that I just saw this video tonight. HAHA!! I even saw Justin Bieber-Selena Gomez-Ashley Tisdale video first, before this one. The video was sooo fun that it instantly became a You Tube favorite. Type "Call me Maybe" on YouTube to find out what I'm talkin about. LOL!
P.S. While watching this official vid, all I can think of was HOW HOT the guy is, and then the ending was such a comic surprise!! Love it!! =)

BUT there's a vid that is super cuuuute to ignore!! the crazier, funnier, "Call me Maybe- It's more fun in the Philippines" version! HAHAH!! this is my favorite next to the official vid!! There's a cameo of a very famous person and the ending was history as well. LOL!



The boys from this vid are the girls' boyfriends, just sooo cute to see them all wacky and game for anything!
NOTE: The girls are wearing Balenciaga S/S 2012 for Preview Magazine. Saaayyyy Whaaaat??

Louder - Charice

My niece Lyanne was asking me last week, "Ninang may law-er ka ba sa itunes?" I don't know if I'm bingi or what, so I answered back, "Lighters? yes meron"
Lyanne: "hindi yun, law-er!"
Me: "ano yun?
Jaja interrupted and said "LAW-DER" ninang, Louderrrr!!"
Me: "ay sorry, slang kasi e, Silent D!! I don't know that song, sige download ko!

After a week, I saw a commercial for Charice's Concert and I asked Jaja if that was the song that they were talking about. When she said Yes, I watched the video on Youtube and I surprisingly liked it!!
I've never been a fan of Charice but I'd really like to dance to this song! it has a positive meaning and vibe so I downloaded it and even tweeted her! HAHA! Not a fan girl but I was really happy to see how she's changed and you know that thing they call "PINOY PRIDE"? that's how I felt. LOL! Anyway, here's the video of LAW-ER! LOL!



P.S. I can't see their faces clearly, but I think her dancers are hot! LOL!  have a thing for men who dances!!

Good. MUSIC. Can. Be. So. Hard. To. Find.

I have always liked Maroon 5 and Adam Levine, I even have a whole album of their songs in my iPod before but THIS IS THE FIRST TIME that I can say, I'M ADDICTED not to the band but to ADAM LEVINE!!
And I just can't believe I missed out on their Concert Last May here in The Philippines.
Anyway, here's the SONGS that I've been Singing the whole week!! MAJOR LSS!!

STEREO HEARTS


This song is uplifting and very easy on my ears. Adam's voice is just right for the chorus and bridge but Travie is exceptional, The Lyrics were so cool!


MOVES LIKE JAGGER
(can't embed the video coz' it's not allowed by VEVO., so just click the link and watch it!)

I really appreciated Adam's singing here. His voice is really one of a kind, he's not shy to experiment  with his voice or to hit a Diva-ish tone, He even grooves and sways like he's so sexy -- AND YES HE IS!! haha!!
One thing I liked bout this song is the WHISTLING!! It's just so new to Maroon 5's kind of songs and the band were just equally great to create a music that's so funky yet fresh and upbeat!
And oh! did I mention that it is a collaboration with Christina Aguilera? Yes, the great vocals of C mixed with Maroon 5 equals a very favorite new song of mine. Even my friends loved it!!

Anyway here's a Video f M5 without CA that I've been watching over and over. haha!!
Moves Like Jagger in the NFL Kick--off Show, You can see how Adam sways his hips here. So cute!!

Born This Way

It doesn't matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M 
Just put your paws up 
'Cause you were born this way, baby 

My mama told me when I was young 
We are all born superstars 
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on 
In the glass of her boudoir 

"There's nothin' wrong with lovin' who you are" 
She said, "'Cause He made you perfect, babe" 
"So hold your head up, girl and you you'll go far, 
Listen to me when I say" 

I'm beautiful in my way, 
'Cause God makes no mistakes 
I'm on the right track, baby 
I was born this way 

Don't hide yourself in regret, 
Just love yourself and you're set 
I'm on the right track, baby 
I was born this way 
(Born this way) 

Ooo, there ain't no other way 
Baby, I was born this way 
Baby, I was born this way 
(Born this way) 
Ooo, there ain't other way 
Baby, I was born this way 
I'm on the right track, baby 
I was born this way 

Don't be a drag, just be a queen 
Don't be a drag, just be a queen 
Don't be a drag, just be a queen 
Don't be! 

Give yourself prudence and love your friends 
Subway kid, rejoice the truth 
In the religion of the insecure 
I must be myself, respect my youth 

A different lover is not a sin 
Believe capital H-I-M (hey, hey, hey) 
I love my life, I love this record and 
Mi amore vole fe yah 

I'm beautiful in my way, 
'Cause God makes no mistakes 
I'm on the right track, baby 
I was born this way 

Don't hide yourself in regret, 
Just love yourself and you're set 
I'm on the right track, baby 
I was born this way 

Ooo, there ain't no other way 

Baby, I was born this way 
Baby, I was born this way 
(Born this way ) 
Ooo, there ain't other way 
Baby, I was born way 
I'm on the right track, baby 
I was born this way 

( Queen , 
Don't be , Queen ) 

Don't be drag, just be a queen 
Whether you're broke or evergreen 
You're black, white, beige, chola descent 
You're lebanese, you're orient 
Whether life's disabilities 
Left you outcast, bullied or teased 
Rejoice and love yourself today 
'Cause baby, you were born this way 

No matter gay, straight or bi 
lesbian, transgendered life 
I'm on the right track, baby 
I was born to survive 

No matter black, white or beige 
chola or orient made 
I'm on the right track, baby 
I was born to be brave 

I'm beautiful in my way 
'Cause God makes no mistakes 
I'm on the right track, baby 
I was born this way 

Don't hide yourself in regret, 
Just love yourself and you're set 
I'm on the right track, baby 
I was born this way, yeah! 

Ooo, there ain't no other way 
Baby, I was born this way 
Baby, I was born this way 
(Born this way ) 
Ooo, there ain't other way 
Baby, I was born this way 
I'm on the right track, baby 
I was born this way 

I was born this way, hey! 
I was born this way, hey! 
I'm on the right track, baby 
I was born this way, hey! 

I was born this way, hey! 
I was born this way, hey! 
I'm on the right track, baby 
I was born this way, hey!
