This Thursday's thrill is- Tom Mannion's phogoraphy! I came across his photos online, and I was totally blown away! Not only is he a phenomenal photographer, but the creativity in his work is remarkable! If I'm ever in the mood to feel inspired, I just take a look at some of his photographs. This is definitely my favorite- I love that clam on the side. Also one of my favorites Colorful mini Buddhas everywhere! I love how whimsical and quirky these photos are- don't you feel inspired? gonna go take some photos now- and maybe upload them at some point in life. bm
Almost every time I start to learn a new piano piece, I rarely complete it. By the time I'm through learning the first page, another piece would have already caught my ear and I turn my attention to something new. I haven't completely learned an entire piano piece in forever! So I have a plan... to finish all of my poor ditched incomplete piano tunes before learning ANYTHING new. I need to finish learning: 1. A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton 2. Once upon a December by Stephen Flaherty 3. Fur Elise part 2 by Ludwig van Beethoven 4. Clocks by Coldplay 5. River Flows in you by Yiruma 6. Forrest Gump by Alan Silvestri 7. Dawn by Dario Miranelli 8. Somewhere Only We Know by Keane 9. The Scientist by Coldplay Those are just the ones from the top of my head, I'm a trillion percent sure there are more! I know.... I know... I have ADPD! :O After I finish a single song, I'll post the finished piece, just so I'll have a goal to look forward to ....
My adorable cousin Lana was turning 12, and I wanted to surprise her with a fun party on her birthday! Because it was still Ramadan at the time, it was going to be a break-fast dinner, so I tried to prepare foods that aren't dry for the mostpart! I began preparing for the birthday with the funnest part- decorations! I didn't make them too dramatic because I invited some people who didn't know it was a birthday dinner, and I didn't want them to have an awkward surprise! I chose a pastel pink and green theme, because they're Lana's favorite colors :) I ran out of balloons (eek!), so I filled the middle with some flowers and vines! I'll post some recipes for these in the future sometime! ;) And I couldn't forget about the traditional dates, which are a necessity for beak-fast dinners. I decided to take a little spin on the dates and use date paste, pistachios, walnuts, and sesame seeds to make some date creations: ...
