Piano, piano...
Music: Thunder, OL, Lyn.Skyn. Tish Hinojosa, Damn Yankees
Mood: Better than ever
Pffff… It’s been a long while since my last post.
-----------------------
I was trying to write, though… like this intro below which I had saved as a Word file… I see its date is Feb. 4. Now I don’t remember what I was going to write about… “Where would I be without…”… Friends? Wine? Music? Something must have happened that I started my post with this line.. but I really don’t remember.
Where would I be without…
Music: OL (“Winter Rose”, “Tears in the Rain”, and some other tracks), Thunder, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Damn Yankees, Keb’ Mo’.
Mood: Fine

Jan. 27
L. (R,’s sister) came along to have a chat. It’s been at least 10 month (maybe a year!!) since we last saw and talked with each other… Talked about many things like her adventure in Cuba last year, Fox’s illness, how things could go wrong, her stories, my stories… about R. as well.

Feb. 5
YEAH!!! To Thunder’s concert!!!! Oh-oh-oh, what a great show it was! I had to wait for this gig for 2 more months since the cancellation in December. But it was really worth waiting! I was singing, dancing (… is a bit too big word… only stumping and swinging), jumping during the concert. And yes, of course, shooting too! Surprisingly, the pix I took at the show aren’t too bad… no, not bad at all actually; they are really much better than I expected. Hmmmm, I’m getting to like my cam more and more.
Oh, btw, my big compliment to the sound engineer of the show too! I was standing actually too close to the stage to have the best sound, I think. But still, it was very well balanced. Very well mixed, indeed!
-------------------------
Feb. 6
Lost my voice, had pain everywhere. It’s of course because of the night before… that’s what I thought anyway. Oh, but no! I simply was ill; it’s the awful flu’s doing. My temp. went up as high as 38.6. Grrr…… OK, just try to think positive, Kym…. Lucky me that I got ill right AFTER the concert, not right BEFORE!!
------------------------
Feb. 8
I still had a fever of 38.9. I tried to work as usual but was not very productive. I asked a colleague (who is an editor) if she could help me with translating some articles, and it was OK, she said. Later I noticed that it had got her to work very late too. Hm… am sorry!!
Feb. 9
Ooohhh, Thursday!! Have to go to the printer but I still have 38.8. “I’ll have to ask my neighbour/friend A. to go there for me… If she can’t, ok, then I will go”… Oh, thank god (or I should thank HER!), she went to the printer (twice, first to deliver the material and later to pick up the magazines), and also did grocery shopping for me as well!!
I hate to ask someone for help, especially this kind; I’m supposed to be able to handle my work!... But sometimes I just can’t without help. So I should learn to ask…

S. had his birthday party, which I had to miss.

Feb. 14
St. Valentine’s day… hm, it’s actually something I’d rather avoid just like Christmas. Regardless, I wish everyone (now a very belated) Happy V-day!
---------------------------
Feb. 17
Went to see Tish Hinojosa with S.
Luz sent me an email the other day that “a bit of Texas” was coming to Utrecht (thanks, Luz, for the tip!) Tish has a very lovely, clear voice. And, indeed, I see the lyrics are very important for her (and her music). After her show, there was a kind of “meet and greet” in the hall. I first asked her which CD she would recommend to a Tish-beginner (that’s me). Then I bought “Culture Swing” (which she recommended) and her latest CD “A Heart Wide Open”, went back to her for her autograph.
I really like this particular song, “Derechos de el Corazon”, both its lyrics (though I don’t know exactly what she’s singing as I don’t understand Spanish) and its melody.
----------------------------
With R., I was always (especially the last few years with him) concentrating myself on what I could not and who I was not. That was making me feel so down and miserable. But now I’m more aware of what I CAN and who I AM. I guess T. has helped me a lot with this.
It’s funny, because L. (R.’s sister) had a similar feeling towards this brother of hers, so she told me. That R. has his standard and criteria which everyone’s supposed to clear.
Hm, for the honour of R: he’s not a bad person, though.
-------------------------
Anyway, I feel much better now, even better than before I got ill…Physically I’m not 100% yet, but mentally even better than ever! Well, probably it’s because I have had enough time to rest and sleep.
I love this Italian expression: Piano, piano. Take your time, take it easy, do it slowly….
Piano, piano…

derechos de el corazon
fue una noche serena
banada en brillo erradiante
prendio el fuego de mi realiciacion
y sin decir en palabras,
haci llegando en un instante
senti en mi sangre raices de passion
como fuerza de planetas circulando el sol
cosmicos son los derechos de el corazon
aqui con piez sobre tierra,
siento ancias de las estrellas
y de la luna que ajita imenso mar
