On Piano & Nostalgic Memories

I am sitting in front of my office table, as I work, I normally play a music in my background to keep me going, or to be inspired, to work faster, or just simply put myself in the "invisible glass box", that box keeps me alone for a period of time, where my soul can travel to wherever or whichever place it may please.  That box was constant for so long, that started when i was in my elementary years, through that box, I have learned the art of multi-tasking, it is like working in a very busy & noisy environment, but I can compose myself to be focused.

Trouble of that box, it keeps me out of any distractions, hence my mind wanders deeply... And so just a couple of minutes ago, i was listening to Richard Clayderman... and BOOM! I was in the 1980s era, in our Ancestral Home in San Andres Bukid. There I was seated, listening to Mama Ba as she plays the piano, I could hear her playing endlessly, I was in deep reverie. And just before my eyes will be flushed in red again ... I stopped. Breathe deeply.  Then I went back to reality... I realized she was gone... and I missed her so bad, wishing, and praying that she is still alive.

I always say that the world is a constant change. People come & go...  Be it temporarily or permanently.  So love the ones you have right now.  Tell them how much they mean to you. Give them a smile, a hug, a warm kiss, shower them with endless words of endearment, because you will never ever know when it will end.  Yes it ends...

Nostalgia

Listening to Patsy Cline's CRAZY...  I am feeling nostalgic right now. Having a revery of the past... my old ancestral home... my mom... her sisters... The smell of the old house still lingers in my mind.  These past few days I am feeling restless.  Sincerely speaking I am at a lost for words at the moment.  But hearing these old songs makes me sad, and makes me sigh that those were one of the best days of my life.  My childhood memories are so wonderful.  Looking back at the olden times, gives me the feeling of security and sheer happiness.
