Day 15: A band/musical artist whose music impacted your life.

I have a lot of artists and bands that have impacted my life but there is one that I felt so passionately changed my views about the power of music.

It's not actually a band per se, but it's an organisation called Playing for Change.

True to its motto "Connecting the world through Music", this organisation unites all musicians from around the world to promote peace through the power of music.

 "Playing for Change is a multimedia movement created to inspire, connect, and bring peace to the world through music. The idea for this project arose from a common belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. No matter whether people come from different geographic, political, economic, spiritual or ideological backgrounds, music has the universal power to transcend and unite us as one human race. And with this truth firmly fixed in our minds, we set out to share it with the world." à copied and pasted from the Playing For Change website.

The uniqueness of this movement is that they use a mobile studio and go to the musicians to record their music. That way, the energy and passion from the musicians created in the comfort of their own performance place is so genuine and raw.

Not only they connect musicians from around the world, the movement also created schools for music education as a way of giving back to the community. I think that is very inspiring!

 

You can check more about Playing For Change in their website. (click here!)

 

Here's a video that I think you'll find quite familiar...

So, there you have it...the band that impacted my life!

Day 14: Someone who has made my life worth living.

After two days' of rest, I'm back to do the challenge.

I frankly like this topic because not only it got me thinking and reflecting, it made me appreciate that someone more. But, I decided I'm not talking about someone..I'll be talking about several someones cos a girl can't just have one person who made her life worth living.

 

So, in no particular order, here are the someones who made my life so worth it...

   
My Mom.

1. 

   
   
   Undeniably, she is my pillar of strength and my crying shoulder. We look almost alike but we are so different. It's not that the rest of my family members like my dad and brothers did not matter, it's just that I'm closer to my mom and basically I confide to her everything (well, almost.) She's a woman of strength and she has this tenacious energy that I admire so much. Without her, I would lost my way.
   
   
    
2. My GGs.
   

   

   

   
   

   

   
   
   
   Where would a girl be without her best of friends? Like mothers, minus the occasional naggings, they provide my life with balance and edge with just the sufficient dose of drama. Love them so much!
   
   
3. Daniel Henney
   

   

   
   
   Need I say more? *drools*
   
4. 
   My students...now and then...
   

   

   
   
   I must put them in because in many ways, they affect my life. They made me mad, they give me premature aging lines and of course, the annoying stress but in some ways, they play a rather mysteriously significant part in my daily lives.
   

So, there! The someones who made my life worth living! ^__^
