I'm moving.
Last night I set up another blog elsewhere. My experience at Xanga has sort of gone stagnant and I wanted to start fresh. I don't feel like I can write with complete honesty here anymore.
I'll still sign in from time to time to catch up with some of you. I would never shut this site down completely. The last six years of my life are here.
I'll be telling some of you where I moved soon. Don't take offense if you aren't one of them. I just wanted to go somewhere where I could write for myself.
[[add-on:]] Protected post up with the link. I don't have premium anymore, so I was limited to ten. If you aren't on the list, there's a chance I might still message you with the link. It never hurts to ask.

new piano video! :)
Note: You'll have to stop the music on my Project Playlist up top in order to hear the sound on the video.
This is a Filipino lullaby called "Sa Ugoy Ng Duyan." I included English subtitles, but the program I used to edit this had a time limit on subtitles. I apologize if they move too fast.
For the record, I'm nowhere near fluent in Tagalog. If any of my Filipino readers still use Xanga, I'm more than open to constructive criticism. I'm curious as to whether or not I sing with an American accent.
Have a great week!

Cheap Thrills by Natalie®
Taken from the SF Muni website:
What makes them assume that she's listening to Beethoven? I'll go ahead and answer my own question. She's Asian, so clearly she was forced to play the piano or violin before the age of 7. Now that she's a grown virtuoso adult who rides Muni wearing business casual, her love for classical music is even stronger. It's so obvious! ;P
Still, I don't get how this is supposed to scare us into paying attention. Why is it so awful that Beethoven could be the last thing she hears? Dying while listening to Beethoven is a lot more respectable than dying while listening to Soulja Boy or Kid Rock. Probably better on your psyche too. Dying while mentally relaxed as opposed to dying with a lot of pent-up rage.
Really though, look both ways before crossing the street and take the time to develop classy, sophisticated musical taste, if you haven't already. Do you want Britney Spears to be the last thing you hear?

Hello Xanga. :)
I've got a full-size weighted Casio keyboard with built-in speakers in my dorm room now. My dad snagged it for less than $200 on Black Friday, but I didn't get to take it home until today, coming back from the holiday festivities. Now you all get to witness my first time playing with it here.
Hope all is well with everyone. I apologize for being a crappy reader/commenter. Xanga's gotten a little too complicated for my liking and I'm also slipping as a writer. I hope to get back to journaling eventually. I'm not sure if it's going to be public or private, and I'm not sure if I'm going to stay here, but if I move, I'll definitely let you know where to find me.- Natalie Jeanne
