I'll be playing 3 songs from the list.

Seems little..but the number of pages..

is enough to give me hell.

And I have to listen to the 3 songs..

over and over again.

My piano teacher said that it'll help improve my playing.

Save me!

Anyway..

I'll try to come up with a decent entry soon.

It would be a little dificult to type one for the next 3 days

because my brother will be hogging the computer.

He has an assignment which is due very soon.

Such an asshole!

He had all the time in the world

to do his damn assignment!

and yet he wasted it by playing that stupid online game, Maple Story.

And he goes all bossy on me like a PMS bitch.

IT FREAKIN' PISSES ME OFF!!

Anyway, till the next entry..

Hasta la vista.
