Cute handmade plaque perfect gift for music lover

One of my close friend in the office and celebrating his birthday on Friday. And the I haven't got a chance to give him a gift for the last 5 years. Now he is resigning, I feel like it's about time to give him a memento as he moved to other side of the street that is his new office. So, I asked my husband "what gift you can suggest?" And he said, well work out what is common to both of you. Then I smiled "aha!" Both of us are music enthusiast, I do vocal and keyboard. He is a all around from drums to string instruments. I don't know how he manage that but it's about passion I think (and hard nose time management). So I found a very special token that really symbolize our love or passion in music.

What I love in this plaque is that not so expensive that he can put it on his office table. And it not bulky as well as it is hand crafted that make it something special.

As both of us, part ways I sincerely hope that he will remember those time we shared together especially performing together in one of our company event. Though we still catch up occasionally.

Guitar Pick Inspiration

I really like what the quitar pick that says "When words fail music speaks"

Sometimes the simplest answer to life is just to keep quite. Listen to the music of your heart. Listening to tone of the nature is simply the best music. Now, if you have a friend who loves music, fire this gift to them.

When people want to shut down world, it is enough to just chill and listen to music.

The music we played in our life

In our lives, there are thoughts that always keeps repeating in our mind day in and day out. These could be your fear, worries and anticipation. But to myself, I find it that there are ore not so good thoughts than the good ones. Probably in a ratio of 3 to 1. And it is just keep playing in my head even when I'm at work or heading home. This is very similar to music as well. I find it that there are particular song that I subconsciously sang during the day and could last to up 3 days. What a coincidence! I think it is safe to say that life and music are literally the same, it is just a difference application. And my take was, we are what we are today because of the song we play in the past in our head. And the song you choose today will determine what you gonna dance tomorrow. So we have a choice, what to select and what to play from here forward. Choose the thing that keeps your heart beating.

Express your heart out through music

At times, the only way to express feelings of heartache, pain, breakup is through music. That is why popular music are made up of stories taken from experiences.

Writers can draw to the experience to activate emotion embedded to the song. And as a music lover myself, I also draw to the music that captivates my feelings ( based on my current state of emotion). 

Perhaps human stories is the same, except that it happens from different timeframe. That could be the reason that classic music never fade and still be a good thing to listen up to this point of my life.

I believe each one of us has its own story to tell to the world. A story of trials, failures, triumph and successes. That everyone can write his own song and can dance to his own music. Express your heart out and we don't know that what you've written can be a source of inspiration.

Best gift for music lover dad - two birds in one stone

My dad has been the major influence why I love music. At a young age, we always accompany him when he got a singing gig, or going to a major singing contest to support him. He actually won several of those, and right at the tender age we know how music been part of our life. It's in our DNA to say at least.

The downside is that he use some of his winning into drinking and that is one of thing we don't really like - bit it is what it is. But sometimes, it has an upside, he is more passionate and enthusiastic to teach us singing when he's a bit drunk. Good for us!

So on his 55th birthday, we think to give him a gift that suit his identity. This is probably the best gift for dad as a music lover - at affordable price. It is a simple bottle opener that symbolize a music note. As I said, it is like hitting two birds in one stone.

Inspirational songs that motivates me

Whenever I am feeling down, music will always cheer me up. It is a fact that songs have always emotion embedded to it. When it is performed with emotion there is always a connection between the audience and the performer. And even those old songs never get out of the market because people circumstances experience different phase of song. Will it be Frank Sinatra, Whitney Houston and Heal the World by Michael Jackson. Here is the list of my favorites, it usually the soundtracks of animation movies. 1. When you believe 2. Don't stop believin 3. We are the champions 4. Wind beneath my wings 5. You light up my life Whatever we believe, it always kick our butt and pick us up to be motivated again.

4 places that I listen songs

When I am doing something at home or in the office, I usually love to play music simultaneously. At home, I played loved songs which stimulates me doing house chores. In the office, I got my headset on to my ears when doing mindless work such encoding and other stuff. And how much more when I am commuting going home, it helps to release tiredness after a day of work. In the morning my husband also love to play in the car when we are both heading to work. Music is life and deep down it commune your physical self to you inner being. And that is why it should be treasured - music is a gift.

That is why I am a music lover and avid fan

Music is the language of my soul. It conveys what words cannot give justice. It tells a person’s story according to its life’s melody. It translates the deep emotions of the heart from being broken to that sense of joyfulness.

The world cannot be whole without music. Music for me is a friend. It gives me comfort and understanding of what life is and how it is. It shares the world to you, as well as you to the world. It brings company for someone who is lonely or serves as a witness to someone’s triumph. Music allows you to express what and how you felt. It gives you that freedom to be yourself, to tell and to share without limit the lessons of life.
