Hi everyone!

I know…I know…bad Ann for not updating her blog more often! I’m so sorry!  Again, like always school just keeps getting in the way of everything. But I guess the good thing about not blogging for a while is that I have a lot to write about now. So I am officially a co-host for a podcast called “N UR EAR”. Like I said previously, it’s all about music and I’ve been having fun doing the podcast with Tahir and Carlos. It’s really interesting and nice to hear all genres of music and learning more about each style. I feel like I’m expanding my knowledge of music and that makes me happy. For those who have supported Collision28 and our new podcast, thank you! For those who haven’t seen our podcast, you should check it out when you have the opportunity. We do it every week on Tuesdays at 6:30 PM pacific time. Usually Tahir and I have a pre-show where we perform little things, so like I said check it out if you can! It’ll be on www.justin.tv/Collision28

So, I’ve been extremely frustrated with the fact that I feel like I have no time to practice the piano. Thankfully, I have two to three more weeks of school and then I have winter break! Hopefully, besides enjoying the holiday season, I will be practicing my music. This includes reading music, writing music, recording music, and of course playing music! It’s going to be a music extravaganza! AND I won’t be just playing one instrument, but TWO! After probably about four to five years, I finally picked up the violin again and I started playing just a little bit. Of course I am extremely rusty, but I hope that will change after winter break. I bought really nice rosin for my bow and I got it in the mail today so I am going to start really playing the violin again. It’s a shame that I neglected it for so long! So I’m excited about playing it again!

So trying to save money for a performing keyboard has been a complete failure! I don’t know how, but I’m going to try really hard to save money for a performing keyboard. It’s going to cost around 1000 dollars…but I think my idea of performing has to be put on hold because I need to save and spend my money on Christmas gifts. It’s okay, as long as I stay positive and continue to work hard, I know that I will improve and become better day by day.

OK! So I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving! Hopefully you guys will enjoy it with your family or someone special, whoever you’re spending it with, have a fantastic and safe one! I’m going to be going to Church for mass and then spending it with my extended family. I’m thankful to God for blessing me with a wonderful life that includes my mom, dad, and three brothers. I’m also thankful for my boyfriend. And I’m thankful for all my friends as well! Again, Happy Thanksgiving! I will try harder to update more often! Bye!

Love Always,

Ann Thy Ngo
