Just when I thought the work was all done, someone handed me a conga and asked me to join the pit orchestra. I had very little involvement music wise during this production.

Sitting behind the pit to hear the music more than the singers. I'm invested because I was originally playing drum set, but I decided to help with ads and content creation.

Just before I thought the final show was finished, one of the percussionists came over to hand me a conga for the bows. My mood was immediately changed, and I had so much fun.

After eating only noodles for two weeks, I believe it's time for a treat. It'll all pay off in June!

I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous, it's been months since I've done this.

What a great weekend full of music. I just wish there was an extra 8 hours in the day for sleeping.

I started loving work and became extremely rusty at expressing myself through music. I'm sure there's a balance between loving them both.

There was a post made on my island's local News network about a protesting group, it really got me interested in the views this small island holds for those in the mainland USA and what they really meant by "Promoting peace through strength". No positives come to my mind but why is it quiet?

What a month, this would now be my 7th time helping manage a music festival. The difficult part is constantly being in a new department every time. The redeeming aspect is constantly meeting with international artists and playing difficult pieces. Oh, what a time to be alive.

From the loud days, social events, and busy nights. There's always been music to fit the mood. These two moments reminded me of "Jupiter Hymn from The Planets" by Gustav Holst. Such a grand emotion to be had looking back at your work or just contemplating under the night sky.

A true test of musicianship. Having a long improv session with 5 other incredibly talented musicians was not on my bingo list for this year. It was incredibly insightful to know where I lacked and where I excelled. There's always something new to learn.

It's been a while since I've just sat down and enjoyed company. Never a dull day about but it's nice to have nothing to do in between bouts of work.

I've been worn out quite a bit from music. I love the smiles and the ideas that are shared amongst the different age and ethnic groups, but darn is it hard to keep it going without a break. Makes me wonder whether making it more than a hobby was wise and worthwhile. There's only one way to know.

I know I'm a bit late but from me to you all, Happy new years.

Things have been too busy as of late, thank goodness for today. I can take a moment to enjoy some alone time.

Enjoying it all, one day at a time

Furchella is picking up again on VRChat, I wonder what they have in store.

You can't trust too many VRChat world's. This one kept making me think this was a normal cow. World: Normal Cow World by Piso Aquitano

I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the Autumn Festival, where I learned so many things about Taiko drums and Japanese folk songs.

Sure I may not be where I want to be but at least I'm not where I was. That's something I look forward to.

Whether I'm playing music or not, it's the familiar faces that make the experience all the more worthwhile

It's no surprise that self doubt is something that regularly plagues my mind, the only important part is that I'm trying to get over it. Whether it's my competence as a musician or photographer, all that matter is that I'm trying my best.

Have some photos I took while attending a music camp in Australia. Oh how I wish to relive the memory.

Could use some drinks down here at the beach. Care to join?

The Australian International Music Festival was one of the best memories that I still recall to this day. Being able to play in places such as the Opera House and Townhall were things I never would've dreamed of.

I didn't have the best device for taking pictures but I did what I could. Here's some photos I took when I was on tour in Japan back in 2018. It's an experience I'll never forget and still cherish to this day.

Some photos I took from Beauty and The Beast The Musical. Wonderful memories were made and I'm honored to be part of this production.
