Music Is A Genuine Ally August 08, 2022 | Blog #2 **Music** is everything to me. On some level, it relieves bitterness from our life's journey and stimulates good memories. *“Music is the shorthand of emotion.”* **―Leo Tolstoy** **Dad** purchased a DVD tape perhaps fifteen years ago. Where owning a DVD player was popular. He may then listen to all of Air Supply's tracks—I was thrilled to have found it. **Air** Supply is one of my favorite music artists. And it was the first artist my dad ever introduced to me when I was in primary school. ^_^ **Does** anyone out there still remember Air Supply? Here's one of their songs that I also like, *"Making Love Out of Nothing At All,"* but to be honest: I find it very challenging to master, haha. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogoIxkPjRts **Air Supply** is an Australian soft rock duo. They had a succession of hits worldwide, including eight Top Ten hits in the United States, in the early 1980s.  *Information Source:* >>>Read More. https://www.last.fm/music/Air+Supply/+wiki **Most** likely, dad taught me the song, *"Here I Am,"* so I could slowly learn the tune and where to begin singing. I'd say that singing is the best bond my dad and I have ever shared. **On** February 14, 2017, we had our first ever Valentine's Day celebration with the family. Dad was not a big fan of celebrating Valentine's Day, though. Eventually, my convincing power succeeded, hurrah! **The** best songs of all time for me were those from the 1980s and 1990s (love songs, soft rock songs, etc.) **Old** songs frequently remind me of how great it is to listen to each lyric—simply because they are genuine. **How** could anyone forget this song ? In no way would I miss it. I recall our previous inebriated neighbors singing *"Still Loving You by Scorpions"* a couple of times. That led me to become acquainted with both the lyrics and the tune. **Scorpions** are a German rock band formed in 1965 in Hanover. The lineup from 1978 to 1992 was the most successful incarnation of the group. *Information Source:* >>>Read More. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorpions_(band) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pOr3dBFAeY **Do** you specifically remember spending some time in your room by yourselves and crying a lot while listening to music because you have experienced your first heartbreak? **I** hadn't eaten anything all day when I discovered my ex-boyfriend had cheated on me. I haven't tried to tell anyone. In any case, I felt humiliated. **By** the way, this is the song I have learned by heart and sung every day until I have to move on. Poor Me! Hehe **Has** anyone remembered hearing of this song? You may try hitting the "Watch Here" option below. **>>>****Watch Here.** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4yE_VMXS84 **Have** you had the sensation of listening to your favorite song playing while you were shopping in the market or mall? **How** would you react? If you'd ask me, I would sing it out loud till my throat hurt. Haha, I'm kidding! **Although** I didn't have a fantastic voice, I could sing—just not at a high pitch that would damage your ears, haha—and my dad got a karaoke machine since he knew I would grow up loving music. **Dad** had a half-Chinese acquaintance whose company manufactured karaoke machines. The pricing range was $623.67 to $712.76. **However**, they had become excellent friends. Dad received a discount, and he offered dad a very fair price of $534.57 for the entire package. Which also included free shipping fee and a one-year warranty. Extremely good, right!? **Here's** the quick video I took of my dad singing one of his favorite songs. You can view or visit it below; **>>>****Watch Here.** https://www.canva.com/design/DAFIhh9molY/gHj_HLpXrWCj9wWikB1KVA/watch?utm_content=DAFIhh9molY&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=publishsharelink **If** only I had known that this was the last video—I would be able to make for my dad. I wish I could have made it longer. I continued listening to his voice and sang all of his favorite songs because I missed him so terribly. **And** if you were wondering where my dad was and what happened to him. He is in Heaven already. I'm confident that God is looking after him well. ^_^ **I** want to perform this song for him. I sincerely hope—that his spirit reads this and overhears me singing one of our favorite songs. **I've** included an audio file of me singing "Here I am."

Short Story: The Truth About KNOWING ME. May 13, 2022 *A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. -Lao Tzu* The quote often reminds me of my journey from being terrified of change to unlocking my cynical beliefs of not trying. Yet today, I welcome myself to possibility, growth, and embracing the good transformations in my life. By the way, my name is Anna Marie. *Nice to meet you all.* ^^, I grew up in a simple and affectionate family. We are four (4) siblings. I am the third. Turning 28 this coming 24 of August. Single -and ready to mingle, lol. Kidding aside! ^_^ I graduated last 2015 with a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology. I'm not a programming expert. Only I could run simple codes before, haha! Nevertheless, I love to design or edit photos. And I'm grateful for those editing websites nowadays that help me enhance my skills. I constantly use the canva design. I guess everyone is acquainted with the canva websites. What I love about canva --that it's not time-consuming. And everyone could easily navigate and create a template even in a minute. It is a less hassle template designing. Here is a badge that the canva team gave me. I was proud that I unlocked the 100 design milestone. There's one thing I've discovered about myself is the belief "of not limiting my talents and skills as the great opportunity comes." ***Speaking of --talent. Do I have a talent?***  Of course! I believe everyone has. I could sing -and I adore singing! (But don't expect me with the higher pitch. I may ruin your eardrum! Lol) I could dance -and I love dancing! At an early age, I've been active in a dance competition. I've received an award as the dancer of the year. But that was when I was a kid. ***A little background about my previous job and my recent career. ^^,*** I was once a Government Employee for two years and a half. I'm pleased to be one of the trusted administrative staff.  Later on, the journey becomes challenging and exciting.  I tell you. It was my first time as the "iconic representative" (as what they called it). And I won the competition of the entire department of LGU last December 2018. It was once in a lifetime experience. One time, my college friend once introduced me --to an opportunity online which offered great paychecks. I was attracted to it as it was an added experience. I've also started budgeting my daily expenses with the fare of transport and food when going to the office every day. However, I quit my job. Everyone in the office wanted me to stay. But I was determined to take another step on my journey. ***Fast forward*** My online career journey took only a year of experience being an insurance agent. I could have continued with it if not for my health is at stake! It was then I realized that I am bound for something greater. Or so I thought! Then the global pandemic hit the world and added to the demise of our Dad due to cancer. I have to remain steadfast with my faith to stay grounded.  ***So --what's next?*** Currently --I am affiliated with the Financial Industry Business at International Marketing Group (IMG), where we share and educate Filipinos about Financial Literacy!  It's a wake-up call for me to help and spread the mission of IMG that this coming 2030 we will educate 30 Million Filipinos Worldwide. ***Remember this great mantra in life.*** Never surrender to achieve your goals and dreams. "Be unstoppable. Create a meaningful life by starting small steps. Replace the word "quit" with "never." Should you guys wish to learn more about IMG and be your financial advisor --in the long run?
