several months ago i was introduced to the music of pink martini, a new york based group of music. they played, composed various kind of music into a very nice blended new atmosphere rich tunes for me, which is not overdo .... it is just nice! perfect nice....!
thomas f. lauderdale is the leader of the band, china forbes is their wonderful lady singer. one of my favorite tune is aspetammi (wait for me).

i was just back from a trip from a country where people wouldn't think i will come to visit. but finally i did. out of expectations, i could not explore much. my best friend who happened staying there for a 2 years period of 'giving back' service, was very sick. dengue..... the day i arrived was the first day of the bad fever started, followed by a painful headache....
everything happens for a reason....., i meant to be there, at the right time, at the right place ... even for the occasion that no one would like to be in. i meant to be here, to write a note again for my blog... sharing beautiful music and short story a chapter of my life.
one day, i will be back to that country.... i will walk along the beach, i will explore the surroundings, i will observe the people - many of them still living in poverties. lack of education, the government still struggling in finding the right formula to run the country... they are growing, they are developing, a process that will never end until the day when the world stop spinning....
on the aircraft that brought us out of the country, i looked at my friend face who tried to hold the pain, then i looked far away outside the window of the plane which start speeding to take off.....
aspetammi...., wait for me...., one day i come back to you....
