What Playing For CellGroup Is About.

Hey Guys
Today i'm about what playing guitar for cellgroup is about. To me, i think playing music for cg is about building the atmosphere for the people. My guitar teacher use to tell me, we're like the spiritual architect, we form the shape and volume of
God's presence.

Whenever i play in cellgroup, i do my best to play with my feelings a hundred percent in the song. I do still find difficulty in playing with feel and taking commands at the same time though. I think that it's not something one can learn or memorize. So when my friends ask me to them the way to play PnW (Praise and Worship), I would just teach them how to play a guitar normally or just teach one or two songs.

Rule #1 in playing PnW, is that you can only master the playing styles on your own. No one can coach you to play PnW. If they did they would just be teaching you how to play it. You'd just be playing musical notes and not the spirit.

I learned that the times when i can play really well is when i'm doing my quiet time (Provided i have practiced to play the song before hand). I then take what i encounter during my quiet time and bring it into the cg setting at the same making sure it tallies with my leader's commands.

It's never easy playing in a cellgroup, no matter how long you've been doing it. I think it speaks for a lot of the guitarists here.

So the only way to improve is to make sure you know how to play that song, when you able to play it worship God with it. Put emotion while playing the number during cellgroup. When you feel that you need a little breakthrough when you're playing, fix you eyes on God and sing along with the song treat it like your quiet time except you have 20 other people singing along with you.

I hope whoever reads this can be of help especially if you're a guitarist, Or if you're a cellgroup leader and you think what i'm saying might not sound that dumb, recommend it to your guitarist=).

CHEERS!

New Movie upcoming in SG!! STEP UP 2: The Streets

Hey Guys!
Yes just like what the title says, this entry is going to be about the new dancing movie that released last Thursday on Valentine's day in the U.S. I had the privilege to watch it before Singapore actually showed it ^_^ not telling you where or how. Anyways this is a break down of the movie so Enjoy!

Photobucket

The movie stars Briana Evigan as "Andie", a street dancer who joins a blacklisted street dancing crew and get busted by her mom's best friend(Her guardian) who's currently taking care of her. She is being forced between 2 choices by her guardian. Either move to Texas or stay and go to dance school, the last place she wants to go.

Now, for having attend school and extra lessons afterwards she gets her crew leader mad and gets herself kicked out of the crew. She's left stranded now. Luckily "Chase Collins", played by Robert Hoffman comes up with a plan to form a crew and persuades Andie of joining in. Things went on from there showing how they picked each crew mate and the thick and thin they went through...


Now this has movie has everything you want in a dance movie. Beautiful dance moves, great cast, awesome location settings and lightings, not forgetting a meaningful and outstanding plot. The climax above all climax would definitely be and ending part when they danced in the rain. Oops!!! Can't give out to many parts, it'll spoil the show for you.^^

Anyhoo, it's a must watch... i give it an 8/10
Now enjoy the screen takes of the movie =) :

What's up with EMO nicks? Anti-EMO club!

Hey Guys!
Today i'm here to rant about people who put EMO words on their nicks. Firstly, what's wrong with these people? Does putting EMO nicks make you feel better? You guys are so uptight! I mean whose gonna pity you if you say "oh life is a tragedy for me". Dude, go get a life, a real life. No offense to people who actually are going through tough times.

I just wanna make things clear here, if you really are going through bad times like some one you know and really loved had passed away, or your best friend just migrated to some far away galaxy. Even if you are about to get transported to some jungle away from your family, that's fine.

Those are fine. But what are you getting so worked about the break up between you and the person you met 1 month ago? What is he bill clinton? Or is she Hillary Swank? Goodness me!! Correct me if i'm wrong, are you gonna kill yourself just because you had one unlucky day. Are you gonna hate the whole world if just for a day things didn't go your way? Get a grip!!!

BTW, EMO nicks don't llok cool a MSN. To others, it's just another nick. SO DON"T BE A POSER!!! Lolx, everytime i come across an EMO nick. I stare a t for 5 seconds and laugh butt off.

For example:
*Walks to computer and opens MSN*
*Scrolls through and spot an EMO nick*
-"Tell me what is wrong? ILU V*** I feel like the whole is crumbling on me."
*Stares at it for 5 seconds*
*Then*
*LAUGHS MY ASS OFF!!!*

I mean pal, even if your girlfriend or boyfriend don't a phone to contact doesn't mean you go all suicidal on MSN!! GET A GRIP, better yet GET A LIFE!!!

Some years ago, I came across someone whom i met online(not revealing the name). He talked to me about how his girlfriend had stopped talking to her.

And i being the gracious caring soul that i am decided to comfort him by offering a listening ear. he told me the incident and asked me for some advice. So i did, but he went all negative on me saying he is useless and can't do anything right. Regardless of whatever i've said he didn't take it in no matter what...

The next day when i signed in on MSN again his nickname read:
"Life is a misery, why can't anybody help me. I just needed someone to talk to"

I looked at it and this appeared on my face---> -_-|||

WHAT!!! Do i look like a hamster to you??? Am i not a human? Or was it not you on the other side of the computer?
Dude, talk about insecurity~
People with emotional issues should just shut up about how screwed up their life is and just do something about it. The MSN nickname space is not a wishing well...

As some of you people might already know, my msn nick have been having this tag" Member of the anti-EMO club" I just thought it would be quite cool to have this to let ppl kno that EMO does = cool. Join me if you agree... but let's not criticise them in their face yea. If we do they're gonna go all EMO and suicidal on us again...lol

UNTIL NEXT TIME!!

CHEERS!

Finally another entry~

Hey Guys!
Finally, I'm back to blog! Recently i have been doing a lot of "youtubing". I posted quite a number of videos on my youtube account. Do go visit if you haven't already did=) Valentine's Day just passed and it was a normal day for me because i didn't really celebrate it with anyone. I did, however fold paper seagulls for my cellgroup sisters and thanks to Kelvin who taught me how to make em. It took a whole night to make it so i didn't get a wink a sleep but at least it was for a good cause so i'm not complaining. I finally got a job! Thanks to Edmond i'm able to get paid every month and help out in my family's expenses and of course to tithe and give to God as offering.

I'm actually having 2 jobs. One of it is working as a waiter in a Japanese Restaurant (Waraku De Pasta). The other is a education job i suppose, it's called "Active Intelligence"(Set up by my church people). I'm suppose to go to different schools with trainers to help them while they teach the students on the different learning styles that suits each student. Other than visiting schools, i'm also doing administrative work for them. It's a much better paying job than being a waiter but i can't really tolerate students, and i'm a total "noob" at desk work.

Until next time!!

CHEERS!
