The Music of Love Story

When I found that picture of Rain circulating around the internet, I remembered his song Love Story. Well, he might be singing that song in that photo. His suit is similar to the one he wore in the music video. However, more than the singer, I noticed his background. We see a group of violinists.

Usually, when I listen to songs, I only hear the overall sound produced by the rhythm of the instruments. I can't name the various musical equipment employed in the song. If the singer's voice is dominant in the composition, I tend to overlook the background music.

I know that Love Story is an RnB song with elements of jazz, ballad, and pop. I pondered on whether there were violins accompanying the melody. So I listened to it one more time, paying more attention to the background music than before. Click the video below to hear the song.

Woah! The sound of violins are in there, accompanied with a piano in the midst of RnB percussion. I found that amazing because I thought such instruments were only meant for classical music. The composers of Love Story are geniuses! Hearing piano and violin in a modern song is a totally new experience to me!

As it turns out, there is more to a song than the voice and emotions. I will pay closer attention to Rain's songs, or any other RnB song for that matter, as I might be amazed at the kind of sounds that I will discover.

And...I was right! That photo is from Rain's live performance of Love Story -an RnB song with violin and piano!

The 2019 Starbucks SG Planner

Happy New Year, dear readers! The year 2019 comes with new wishes, new beginnings, and of course, new planners! Yay! I'm excited for all of it. The new year for me means a fresh start for all the failures I've had for the previous year. Yep, I feel ya! 2018 was kinda rough for me, too. But anyways, I'm here to share with you a tool to help us face the days ahead. I'm sure that some of us take life as it goes along. But there are others, like me, who have a planning personality.

Hahaha~ So for this post, I'm gonna share with you the Starbucks Singapore 2019 planner! The 2019 Starbucks Singapore Planner

Lee Min Ho Mall Tour: SM Mall of Asia Leg

I still can't believe that it was just two nights ago (November 18, 2012), I saw Lee Min Ho in the flesh! As early as 5:30PM, I was already in SM Mall of Asia Music Hall, joining the fans as we eagerly wait for his arrival. The crowd was very overwhelming. I bet some people waited there two hours earlier than I did! Lee Min Ho is a South Korean actor. His popular dramas include Boys Over Flowers, City Hunter, and Faith among others. His prowess as an actor and his to-die-for looks are enough to make women go gaga over him -me included! He is my favorite actor. I love his dramas. In the future, as I gain more skills, I plan to cosplay his characters, especially Johnny from City Hunter. He is the reason why I love Korean products like Etude House . Now, I have another brand to love... and it's a Filipino brand! I'm very happy that Lee Min Ho is the latest endorser of the clothing line, Bench . Crowds make me uncomfortable. It was my first time to have ever attended

Presenting The Starbucks 2014 Planner

There are a lot of 2014 planners available out there. For this post, let me share with you the 2014 Starbucks Planner. Every December, people are talking about it! The cover and the layouts are something to look forward to, as well. For this year, it came in four colors: yellow, magenta, brown, and black. The black one is the Philippine edition ( hmmm, tempting! ). I'm very much impressed because the cover feels like leather. I will feature the magenta one. My friend owns this. I already have a planner for 2014, owning another doesn't make sense at all. Hehehe ~ So, I decided to take some photos of it and share what's inside. (^_^) Left: the box, Right: the planner. The cover is embossed with coffee icons and Starbucks coffee blend logos. I noticed the symbol for their coffee Sumatra and the elephant icon for Kenya. The 2014 Starbucks Planner in magenta I saw the symbol of the Starbucks coffee blend Sumatra embossed on it. Here is a really cute featur
