An Anatomy of an Arrangement | Postcards from Far and Away

Postcards from Far and Away. Kyrie Eleison, Christe Eleison. An Anatomy of an Arrangement. Hohoho…been neglecting the web journal a bit have we, ey? Well, its only because there’s not a whole lot to write about – mom came down with a pretty severe case of bronchitis, and so I’ve been doing a lot of domestic chores (you know: laundry, dishes, cooking the occaisional meal) – the most exciting of which is feeding our big, ornery Doberman, Weiner. Use your imagination. We’re not talking taking a poproc...

February | 2010 | Postcards from Far and Away

Postcards from Far and Away. Kyrie Eleison, Christe Eleison. Walking with Haechi – Part 2. I know I’ve written about this in the previous entries, but every. Morning during our stay, I would always gaze at my watch in. Disbelief, unable (or uwilling) to believe that the time indicated was. Indicative of what I was seeing outside our window. 8220;Nevermind the time difference – it is NOT seven in the. Alas, it usually was. Despite Seoul being reputed as the world’s most connected. Away on their laptops.

Postcards from Far and Away. Kyrie Eleison, Christe Eleison. Cake before the Icing. I was still wide-awake at 2:30 this morning, hunched-up in bed with the laptop, marvelling at how clear my latest arrangement sounded in my head as I tried to get it down into Sibelius (which I shall shamelessly plug as. Music transcription software to own) – I ended-up sleeping at 4AM, and no, its not done yet. Of course you’re wondering what am I working on (and if you’re not, why are you reading this? Saying we should ...

Endorsements | Postcards from Far and Away
https://farandaway.wordpress.com/endorsements
Postcards from Far and Away. Kyrie Eleison, Christe Eleison. As a consumer, I am puzzled by the capitalist phenomenon of product endorsements, where some company gets some celebrity or “expert” (who’s reputation is often dubious, if not downright fictitious) to endorse some product in the hopes of “duping” the customer into purchasing. Even more puzzling is that it actually works. 8211; Open Source internet browser. My oldest endorsement. 8211; Music Transcription for people like me. By CS Lewis…. I also...

Walking with Haechi (Prelude) | Postcards from Far and Away
https://farandaway.wordpress.com/2009/11/23/walking-with-haechi-prelude
Postcards from Far and Away. Kyrie Eleison, Christe Eleison. Walking with Haechi (Prelude). It was my brother who first alerted me to the existence of the NYC’s Youth Exchange Program to South Korea. He just walked up to me one night and pointed the NYC’s website out to me ( here. It is, in case you’re curious). And truth be told, I was rather resigned to that mindset. Throughout the preparation process, the thought kept bouncing back and forth in my head:. Is this for real? Is this not but a dream?

Walking with Haechi (Part 1b) | Postcards from Far and Away
https://farandaway.wordpress.com/2009/12/04/walking-with-haechi-part-1b
Postcards from Far and Away. Kyrie Eleison, Christe Eleison. Walking with Haechi (Part 1b). After lunch we checked out of the hostel and boarded the bus for Seoul. Remember I said that Korea seemed to be full of apartments? My impression was only reinforced during the two-hour bus ride – there were clusters of apartments so high and expansive, it looked as if they could easily hold the population of my city here in the Philippines. In Korean), rice cakes dipped in meat-and-chili sauce ( ddeokbokki. Besid...

Walking with Haechi (Part Zero) | Postcards from Far and Away
https://farandaway.wordpress.com/2009/11/24/walking-with-haechi-part-zero
Postcards from Far and Away. Kyrie Eleison, Christe Eleison. Walking with Haechi (Part Zero). The plane we were on had a passenger manifest that was basically 90% Korean. You could say that simply boarding the plane was already an act of entering a foreign land. I remember seeing the Incheon Bridge as we came in to land , and how unfamiliar the lights of Incheon City looked. Up to this point, we had felt little of the famed Korean cold that we had fully expected to greet us full blast upon getting-off th...

Walking with Haechi (Part 1a) | Postcards from Far and Away
https://farandaway.wordpress.com/2009/11/25/walking-with-haechi-part-1a
Postcards from Far and Away. Kyrie Eleison, Christe Eleison. Walking with Haechi (Part 1a). I was up at 6AM the next day, mildly disoriented with regards to where I was on the planet (I think I was dreaming about someplace in the Philippines, so you can imagine the initial schock when I awoke and realized I was in Korea). It took me almost an hour to get my bearings while I took a nice, hot shower.While my roommates slept, I decided to go for a walk. 8221; I wondered. I wandered onto the property of a co...
