Bluegrass

at 21:35 Posted by Penda Penn

Bluegrass has always been a tantalizing mystery to me. I've wanted to be a fiddler for the longest time I can imagine. It started when my dad who's born and raised in Ohio, but now living in Indiana introduced it to me a while back (so it wasn't really for the longest time I can imagine). I was inspired to the point that I actually bought an electric violin that I never got to play anyway. I got even more inspired when I saw this on YouTube the other night:

So what are you waiting for? It's time to buy that fender banjo at musicians friend!

Healthful

Earlier today, my mother and I went to church to Finnish some paperworks due today. There were lots of things to do and thankfully, our church is like a second home, or in this case, second office (well, ONLY since our original office closed down last year) so we were able to actually get some things done. After that, we had pasta and folded pizza for lunch, all the while I was calculating the generic lipitor price. There's hardly any adult at church who doesn't watch their cholesterol. You can only imagine my terror when my mother ate the out of wedlockchild of grease and cheese. But she was devouring the grub with no hesitations until my own faded away. Believe it or not, I have been trying to lose weight. I've been frequenting the tracks because of something I said on local television (that my friends like to use against me). I don't know how I'll be able to get through it but trust me, blog. You'll be the 12th to know!

Challenge Accepted!

at 10:39 Posted by Penda Penn

Exams are over and I can now post of the importance of packing materials. I'm kidding! I'm kidding! This post is actually about my glutton escapades the previous week. Well, there was one escapade. But that doesn't mean it's over! Two weeks ago, I took the Bigby's Cafe and Restaurant's challenge against their Big Time Manhattan Cheeseburger.

I tried with ALL my might, but nothing could've prepared me for the 10" beefy meanie that is the Big Time Manhattan Cheeseburger. I mean, I would have been capable of consuming the whole thing if the time constraints didn't exist. But 2 minutes?! Oh yeah, I failed to mention it was a tag team challenge with five hungry beasts. I am thinking of re-entering the contest with another set of five hungry beasts but we're still debating whether to split the bill or look for a rich friend. Hm.

Also, I am eyeing Chub Diner's One Foot Burger with Quarter Pound Fries and Giant Milkshake as of the moment. I am currently nagging my BMF to pay the bill if I don't make the time (which has always been my problem) I MUST CHEW FASTER! But chances are, he won't because he's campaign manager for the Make Penda Lose 20kg Petition along with my mother, sisters, pastors and friends.

Oh and I'm also going to this concert in October with my sisters and churchmates! I'm so excited! Cebu, here I come!

Wanting An Upgrade

at 21:03 Posted by Penda Penn

I think I've mentioned it before that I'm actually part of the Praise and Worship team of our church and I've been dreaming of an equipment upgrade for years! From our guitars to our microphones, oh don't even remind me about the speakers! It's great that we even have them but if we can dream of the best things for ourselves then why not for our church? But I guess if I have to sum up everything and decide to buy only one thing it would be a new mixer. But getting a presonus studiolive 16.4.2 isn't too bad too, it can help us record our original compositions and possibly sell the albums in order to buy new equipment. Hmmm.
