I was so happy last Thursday. It was the last working day for me at school, and two weeks of freedom from work waited for me. Whole days of just being lazy and doing nothing is what was supposed to happen. Well, it is what was planned, but the reality is that seven days passed and I don't know where the time disappeared. I feel more tired than when I have worked. So many things I wanted to do, all those things that I can't really achieve when I am working. Now it is time for friends, family, visits, dinners, excursions, food, food, food.. oops, did I say three times food? Huh, I know I will need to cut off eating, but it can wait until 2023... maybe as a New Year's resolution :D
At the moment I can't think about that, we have to live in the present time and what is right now happening is mentoring a friend on how to start his journey on Hive. I mentioned it in my latest post when we spent a day together, we talked to him about our loved platform and created an account for him. Several hours of explanation is too little time, way too little time. Today we went on another excursion and had a nice time in the mountain. Home-made lunch, which was btw very tasty (oh, I am again talking about food 😂) and more Hive teaching time. It is not easy at all, to explain everything (impossible actually) but the main thing I tried to highlight is the personal touch we are giving to our posts when writing. That is something that I would suggest to all those who are starting the blogging activity.
However, giving the personal touch is important not only on Hive but in many other things we do in life. Creating art, writing, cooking (huh, again??), playing the piano, composing, designing, choosing our clothes, decorating our home, or the way of wishing happy holidays to others. We are in this time of the year when friends and family members are called, met or reached out through messages or letters. That's why a few days ago I searched for the piano scores of a soundtrack of a movie titled Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence. I studied a bit and recorded the piece to make a personalized greeting card video.
I haven't seen the movie but I liked the music. The composer of the soundtrack is Ryuichi Sakamoto, a Japanese composer. Moreover, exactly this movie opened the path to his career as a film score composer and actor. I played other pieces by him already, but this one waited for the opportunity to be played and recorded by me. What can I tell you is that I liked very much this process of preparing the video. So much time passed since my latest piano-playing video... maybe a few months ago I recorded something but the audio interface I used to get a clean recording showed me the date - six months passed. I realized that I missed doing this, recording audio (and video) of me playing my musical instrument. For sure, it was a very enjoyable activity that reminded me of something I really liked to do in past. Who knows, maybe more of these piano sounds will come from me in the future. Time will say. :)
