Beethoven Symphony No. 7 is nice.
Ludwig van Beethoven began concentrated work on his Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92, in 1811, while he was staying in the Bohemian spa town of Teplice in the hope of improving his health. It was completed in 1812, and was dedicated to Count Moritz von Fries.
The work was premiered in Vienna on December 8, 1813 at a charity concert for soldiers wounded in the Battle of Hanau, with Beethoven himself conducting and double featured with the patriotic Wellington's Victory symphony. The orchestra was led by Beethoven's friend, Ignaz Schuppanzigh, and included some of the finest musicians of the day: violinist Louis Spohr[1],Johann Hummel, Giacomo Meyerbeer, Antonio Salieri, Anton Romberg, and the Italian double bass virtuoso, Domenico Dragonetti, who Beethoven himself described as playing "with great fire and expressive power". It is also said that the Italian Guitar Virtuoso Mauro Giuliani played Cello at the premier. The piece was very well received, and the second movement, theallegretto, had to be encored.[1] Spohr made particular mention of Beethoven's antics on the rostrum ("as a sforzando occurred, he tore his arms with a great vehemence asunder ... at the entrance of a forte he jumped in the air"), and the concert would inevitably be repeated due to its immense success.

(Does that mean its a cello concerto? No idea someone enlighten me.)
The symphony is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets in A, 2 bassoons, 2 horns in A, 2 trumpets in D, timpani in A - E, and strings.
(Eh??)

Lovely Venus, newly arrived in Sagittarius, joins the Sun and philosophical Mercury to inspire us to extend our thinking beyond our usual limitations. Meanwhile, we don't seem to be able to let go of our attachment to the busyness that has taken over our daily lives.

Busy busy as a bee...anyone watched Simpsons just now?
:D Billionaires' camp and billionaires' handshake! *$
Oh talking about money. I should get free tomatoes for helping to clean the house lor. All they all do is throw stuff around.
I got so sick of a dusty house so decided to vacuum, mop regularly. And tidy and wipe. If I've learnt anything these 2 years, it's that nothing gets done unless you do it yourself.
On a side note, PAM MY JUICE BECAME TOMATO-LEMON COS OF YOU. Nola the auntie la hahahahha.
I was reading P's blog and I like his writing style! I don't say that often, in fact I never said it before. It's like, funny in a diff way.
I want to go tan. Who's interested?
Anyway I was listening to Katy Perry's song, "Breakout" and found this on a lyric website.
omgitslauren13: Haha. What an unfortunate name for a song. I don't think teens want to listen to songs that remind them of breakouts and acne. And Miley is the perfect singer for this song!! An awful combo of the sound of a dying cat and the thought of a major breakout. Lovely.
I realise I'm scared of making promises now. I used to be careful about them. Cos I know I will definitely do it, carry it out, to a T, to the latter, to the end, absolutely, perfectly, sincerely, once I promised. (I don't care if you never make me promise)
I don't think anyone noticed, but whenever C and I promised to finish a tut, it came out perfect. Once we agree, it's as good as done. Once promised, never broken. But I see so many broken vows and unkept promises. They swear, assure and claim so perfectly. One should have doubted. But to be honest, to break is too unthinkable. Was unthinkable. Accepted without hesitation nor suspicion.
It's easy to give the benefit of the doubt. It's easier to believe.
Paranoia breeds distrust, skepticism- disrespect.
It's the easiest to be fooled.
To take for granted what is told, even sworn is plain stupidity.
People lie. Spouses cheat.
Things are never constant.
Only stupid people trust fully.
But I'd never do it.
Remember what you told me.
Remember what you told me
told me
told me.
