| It is finally Spring in Ithaca and even though it's not the end of the semester, I have no desire to do any kind of work or preparation for my recital. Oh well.. what can you do. Besides, my love for Messiaen and the desire to understand his music, somehow keeps me going in my research. God has been so amazing to me..I don't deserve it. I met wonderful people in Ithaca with whom I had a great privilege to perform the famous "Quartet for the End of Time" (3 performances total!), one of which was in Richmond, VA. My playing has definitely improved and I cannot wait until next year to start working on solo music and learn more rep. Today some how feels different. I am very happy for no apparent reason. Although, part of is because I found out that Boban and his wife have a baby. I am very proud of him and I hope he will be a great father. It's so funny to reflect on this because if this happened last year I would be an emotional wreak, but now I am genuinely happy for him.
Life has been very good so far. I love Ithaca and I love everyone whom God put in my life. It is definitely a generous gift. <3

| So it has been quite some time since I blogged here last. I am already on my second semester of master's degree in Ithaca College and I absolutely love it! God has been so wonderful..it is just beyond words. The work load is huge but the outcome is rewarding and satisfying (well.. for the most part). I have an amazing teacher, who I can sense, is not going to leave me alone and really will push me. I really need that since I am still trying to realize what I want to do in life career wise. Sometimes I think I'd rather be somewhere else doing ministry work or working for a church or some organization but then I always go back in my thoughts to music and how much it means to me. Perhaps I could do both?..So I still have some things to think about and figure out. The only thing is certain right now is that I finally got back on track with God and even though the walk is not perfect yet (whose is?) I definitely feel his presence in my life and his diligent work in the midst of my piles and piles of inner"dirt" and unrighteousness. I love His so much and I am thankful every minute of my life for everything He has done and for all His unimaginable mercy, grace, and love. My personal life has been a bit different compared to the years in Syracuse. This independence has taught me a lot already, especially about myself and my character. Ben and I are no longer together and that's final. It was hard but I think everything is in the right place right now. I just want to know God's further plan for my life and what I am suppose to do in order to get there "safely." I want more than anything in this world to be faithful to Him and be willing to walk every single day by His Word. | | |
| I had a very strange dream last night... It was one of those where I only knew subconsciously what has been happening but my dream only showed the final outcome. So I guess in my dream I was either e-mailing or calling Boban, trying to get in contact with him, and my dream started with a voicemail that he left on my cell phone. Basically, he sounded drunk or mad or all of the above, cursing me out and telling me to move on with my life and leave him alone. It was actually pretty hilarious, come to think of it, but in my dream I remember to be feeling quite the opposite.. It's funny I never had good dreams about him, even when we were dating and were happy. This dream in particularly disturbed me quite a bit.. Oh so many things to do. I am very much looking forward to graduating and moving to Ithaca for graduate school. Right now I am trying to find a job, maybe I'll get lucky? | | |
| A lot of people are getting married these days, especially my friends and other people that I know. I can only imagine the bliss that such time brings to the couple. Marriage... It is funny but the thought of marriage doesn't seem to frighten me anymore as lets say it would even 6 months ago. I guess it is just the idea of having that one special person in your life who makes your heart not just skip one extra beat but who fills it up with contentment, joy and the sense of belonging...that someone else's world became a better place because of you in their life. I wish I could experience that. I look back at my past relationships and it makes my heart shrink with agony. What kind of fruit has any of those past relationships bring? It seems that even at the happy times there was nothing stable and worth fighting for. I tried to hold on and it only brought pain and regret. I tried to let go and the same happened. I wonder what task I shall accomplish in order to finally succeed and meet the one? What kind of plan does God has for my life? And why does it take such a long time for it to be revealed... I am truly happy for my friends who found that one special person and can now travel together in this life's journey. I pray that someday I shall experience that as well. | | |
| I wish life was simpler sometimes... So many times we tend to neglect the important things in life and get carried away with nonsense of daily troubles and concerns. Oh how I wish I could be a stronger person, stronger emotionally to the point that all these troubles have no rule over me. I know what the Lord has said that He will never forsake us and will always carry us through the difficult times if we follow Him and believe. And I do believe and yet there are times I feel so drained and useless... Some days, when I feel encouraged, I feel like I can do this, I can make something out of myself and give something back to this world but then there is always the Enemy who keeps guard and never leaves me alone, always looking how to make me fall again.... I just wish I build an immune to it .. | | |
