Piano, holidays and Sakamoto- what a mixture!!!
I was so happy last Thursday. It was the last working day for me at school, and two weeks of freedom from work waited for me. Whole days of just being lazy and doing nothing is what was supposed to happen. Well, it is what was planned, but the reality is that seven days passed and I don't know where the time disappeared. I feel more tired than when I have worked. So many things I wanted to do, all those things that I can't really achieve when I am working. Now it is time for friends, family, visits, dinners, excursions, food, food, food.. oops, did I say three times food? Huh, I know I will need to cut off eating, but it can wait until 2023... maybe as a New Year's resolution :D
At the moment I can't think about that, we have to live in the present time and what is right now happening is mentoring a friend on how to start his journey on Hive. I mentioned it in my latest post when we spent a day together, we talked to him about our loved platform and created an account for him. Several hours of explanation is too little time, way too little time. Today we went on another excursion and had a nice time in the mountain. Home-made lunch, which was btw very tasty (oh, I am again talking about food 😂) and more Hive teaching time. It is not easy at all, to explain everything (impossible actually) but the main thing I tried to highlight is the personal touch we are giving to our posts when writing. That is something that I would suggest to all those who are starting the blogging activity.
However, giving the personal touch is important not only on Hive but in many other things we do in life. Creating art, writing, cooking (huh, again??), playing the piano, composing, designing, choosing our clothes, decorating our home, or the way of wishing happy holidays to others. We are in this time of the year when friends and family members are called, met or reached out through messages or letters. That's why a few days ago I searched for the piano scores of a soundtrack of a movie titled Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence. I studied a bit and recorded the piece to make a personalized greeting card video.
I haven't seen the movie but I liked the music. The composer of the soundtrack is Ryuichi Sakamoto, a Japanese composer. Moreover, exactly this movie opened the path to his career as a film score composer and actor. I played other pieces by him already, but this one waited for the opportunity to be played and recorded by me. What can I tell you is that I liked very much this process of preparing the video. So much time passed since my latest piano-playing video... maybe a few months ago I recorded something but the audio interface I used to get a clean recording showed me the date - six months passed. I realized that I missed doing this, recording audio (and video) of me playing my musical instrument. For sure, it was a very enjoyable activity that reminded me of something I really liked to do in past. Who knows, maybe more of these piano sounds will come from me in the future. Time will say. :)

It is always exciting when days off work approach and you're right, sometimes we wonder how fast they run and rattle our brains to what was achieved during those off work periods. Sometimes the overload of stress begins to tell on us when we eventually have some off days and this may account for the easy fatigue experienced. It's always good to rest as it is the first treatment in medicine. Thank you also for showing and introducing your friend to hive. You're a good mentor and he'll do well certainly
I wish I could rest, as I have the feeling that I will go back working more tired than before my days off 😂
You'll be fine, you're sure a resilient and wonderful being
very good
thanks
I got hungry reading your post hahahaha. Hey, how nice it is to read you and how easy it is to concentrate on each word with that musical atmosphere. I even forgot for the moment that the music was from the post while I was reading until I woke up at minute 2:50 with the allegro. Great job and great way to engage the public.
I've brought an enormous amount of people to Hive and it really is quite a task to teach someone. I sincerely hope your friends fall in love with the platform as much as we do to see the results of so many hours of teaching and preparation. They have a good Master, surely they will do well.
Así que videos en Q-Inspired 🤔 creo que algunos moderadores de Hive Open Mic estarán celosos, como el tal Jesús...
Hahaha, you got hungry? 😂😂😂 Yes, it can happen when we talk about food. I hope it's not too late at your place so if you eat it will not be late in the night...
I see now that it is pretty difficult. It's a long process of explaining (and understanding on the other side) and can't be done in two days. Well done to you for bringing that number of people to the platform :)
Hahah, no seas celoso 😇. Una vez ya pasamos por esto, y entonces volví por unas semanas. Ahora estoy de nuevo ausente, pero esto no significa que jamás volvería ;)
Mil gracias por tu atención Jesús 😊🙌
The rest days are like that, they fly by and one ends up more tired than when there is work.
I congratulate you friend, being a mom of a new hiver is hard work but it fills the soul with joy, when I was one year old I created a course by whass that I used several times and incorporated several people up to 10 at the same time, the project is domirdo because I had to create content to generate profit but I managed to win a prize in hive, they are nice memories.
I like to watch your music videos but I know the work they bring, because of internet problems I stopped creating my videos, at the time of this comment still does not load your food video, I mean music, and better not continue commenting on my bad internet and continue with the theme of food, sorry for the music.
I'm about to publish my post of the day and it's about a musical anecdote without food and without video.
May your student have a successful life in hive and always have good lunches. @mipiano 😁
Yes, yes, completely agree with you. I know I will go back to work tired. And seeing the days just fly away that quickly makes the things worse 😂
Thank you for the congratulation, we will see how the newbie Hiver will live the childhood ;)) So, I am a mom 😁
I hope one day the internet at your place will improve so you will be able to create again food... music videos ;))
Hurray, I will check out your latest post 🥰 No food? No video? Not a problem at all, the anecdote is what counts 🥳
🤣😁😘
Estoy feliz de que Jesús me compartiera esto. Primero escuché y disfrute toda la música y luego he leído lo hermosa que ha Sido tu navidad. Suele ser agotadora, pero nunca como el día a día en el trabajo. Gracias por esta música para mis oídos y gracias por querer tanto a mi hijo. Para mí eres como una hija talentosa más
Muchas gracias @zorajr por todas estas palabras, Jesús es un amigo extraordinario, es un placer trabajar con él. Debes ser orgullosa de él, siempre te lo decía 😇🌟
La verdad es que los días de estas fechas son agotadores pero diferentes del trabajo. A ver como paso la segunda semana que me queda de vacaciones :)))
Un fuerte abrazo 🤗
Yo creo que si esta época del año pudiese ejemplificarse con un instrumento musical, insoslayablemente sería con el piano. Tú, con tu performance, tu conocimiento, tu aporte como artista y músico, brindas calidez, aptitud y talento. Características maravillosas para esta comunidad, y para la vida. Inspiracional, eso eres. Mis respetos, cariño.
Y mis respetos para tus palabras. 🎶🎶🎶
Muchas gracias @freakshow90 , espero estás teniendo unas fiestas de paz y amor 🍀😇
No sé si de paz o amor, pero sí de cierto goce. Te invito, mi querida y maravillosa amiga, @mipiano a leer mis post en Q-inspired que publicaré en un par de horas. Si bien, donde vives es tarde, léelo cuando puedas. PD: en el final de ese post, en la última parte del mismo, hay una canción de Miles Davis, que es mi regalo para vos. Gracias por tanto.

I could say that you really had fun, some days are like that, one will feel lazy and will not feel like doing anything, even though you're free, I'm guilty of this...
But most importantly, you are able to enjoy the moment 😊
Yes, I am enjoying every moment, but I would like they pass a bit slower so to enjoy longer 😁
hahaha 😂😂, when it's longer, you'll wish it should not end.
Me too I'm home for holiday, wishing its last longer too..lol, if wishes were horses.........😂😂
Enjoy the time you are at home 😇
Enjoy your holiday. I feel the same way sometimes, I sometimes get more tired when I'm lazy and do nothing. It's when I want to eat all the time, I tell myself "enough-get back on track" lol but always fail. Let's eat more and spoil ourselves, hehe :)
Wishing you a happy New Year @mipiano :) May it be filled with good fortune, happiness, love, health and luck :)
The same for your dear @trangbaby!! I wish you a lot of happiness, love and health in the New Year! And a lot of great Hive moments too :))
It usually happens, on holidays we think we are going to rest but it turns out that there is a lot of planning of activities, preparation of meals and family or friends meetings, and it can be exhausting.
This piece is beautiful, it's very soft and elegant at the same time, with that Japanese touch. I loved listening to you play it.
I hope you can take some days to rest before going back to work.
Exactly. And it happens so many times, almost every holiday I have ;D
Well, the summer holidays are longer, so I do have there some lazy days, but these "short" ones, one or two weeks long vacations are always full. More tiring than relaxing.
Yeah, absolutely beautiful Japanese touch 💙 and thank you for listening to me 💙
Well, I don't want to say anything, but there are already plans, I will be even more occupied tomorrow and then... well, I guess I will make a post on that topic and don't want to give a spoiler :D
Gracias Rosana por escucharme y Feliz Año Nuevo 😘
@tipu curate 🎶
Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 40/50) Liquid rewards.
Thank you and Happy Holidays @rozku 💙🎶
Oh well, foods! It's quite abundant in this season. Party there, and party here. It's quite never-ending every holidays like this. Sometimes, I want to decline an invitation but I'm embarassed to do that since they're close friends and good acquaintances.
Anyway, love the play! I feel like listening to this before sleep or when I'm studying. It's quite soothing to the ears. Thanks for sharing this piece with us. I'll look for this in Youtube or Spotify to listen to it as much as I want. 🤗😄
Yeo, more than abundant. And you are right it is never ending and we just can't refuse an invitation and spend time together with friends...
I am glad you liked this piece. This composer, Sakamoto has written some beautiful pieces. Enjoy them 😇🎶
Yep yep, thank you so much. I already found the artist and the piece on Spotify.
I hope you get the time to do all those things that you want to. It's not easy to balance things and I'm always amazed when I see people posting about being bored. Do you ever have time to be bored? As I don't 😄
Anyway, Happy New Year and let's meet soon to continue what we do here. Have fun but don't eat too much as you'll regret it later 😉
Hahaha, no I never have time to be bored, as when I have a free day and I want to do nothing then I convert it always into something 😂
Huh, so many things to do tomorrow and then the even craziest part of the vacation starts... I am sure I will make an update on the topic lol
How do you mean "later"? I already regret 🤣
Thank you and BUEK to you too 😇🥂🍾
Time flies very fast when it’s time to have some good time and also rest.
Sometimes we feel we don’t have anything to do but just when we realise there’s something to do there’s not enough time to do it.😀
I just hope you don’t eat too much during the holidays cos I know you don’t want that pot belly.lol.
Hahaha, I know, I don't want a pot belly... maybe it is too late already 🤣
It’s not too late. You can do some exercise when you wake up every morning. It helps.
I shall indeed 😀
Time Flies when you are having Fun! ... is what they say ;)
At least you are not bored {lol}
Wen Wen Wen first post by this new user?
We hold you accountable for all his (her?) mistakes {lol} Nahhh... maybe not
Xmas and Laurence:
NJOY the last few hours of the year ;)
And those who say that are right ;)
No, I am not bored at all... That is indeed a good consolation! :D
He is wondering too how to do a first one, so I guess we have to work a bit more about getting there :) But, it has to go naturally, it is just overwhelming to learn about Hive and start in that short time. A tiny detail: I needed more than a year to join after hearing about the platform.
I am glad you already knew the music from earlier (I was sure you did) and that you found it nice 🎶😇
And thank you for getting the Time (from the same place I got it haha, funny thing is that Time again hid so we will have to search for it to make her stay longer 😉) for this comment 🙌
Indeed, just less than 28 hours for enjoying this year 😎
miss Time is soooo difficult to manage.
Most of the time she isn't on the same wave lengths as us 🎶
Esas primeras notas son bellísimas 😍 then the rest sounds beautiful too, harmonies of those scales typical of oriental music... my dear @mipiano, I think you have no idea how I get excited when you bring musical pieces to share, I love it and this beautiful melody has left me speechless, I just let myself go, it was something out of this world..... THANK YOU 💞!!!!
I tell you I visited your previous post, what amazing pictures you took, I loved them all and how great that you can bring someone dear to you to Hive, when he sees what you do he will be amazed and also I understand that in a short time it is difficult to make that induction, but you are a great mentor, he will be very well advised without a doubt!!!!
It has happened to me the same as you, time is flying and I feel that I have not rested as I used to in other Decembers 😅, I think we are so focused on goals that when we stop, 2 things happen or we want to continue or we take a break that takes us to other great moments and with great people and with lots of food hahahaha!!!!!
You gave me a beautiful moment of calm with this presentation, please do it more often, you should upload something to the Hive Open Mic also by the end of the year, it will be AMAZING to be heard by many who haven't heard you!!!!!
I leave happy, it was a huge pleasure to visit you and hear you rocking with the piano, I congratulate you 🌹💖... You Classically Rockkkk!!!!! 👍😉🔥🎹🎶❤️🌟🥂💥💫💯
I am more than glad you enjoyed this much the music of Sakamoto! For some reason, it is kind of magic 🎶 as I also enjoyed a lot playing it and recording this little video.
You visited my previous post? Cool :) The town itself is nice, but of course, what was more important was the company we had. And also the fact he liked the idea of Hive, so we will see. He has to find his own way and style.
Yeah, I guess your December is also busy, well, it comes with the holidays. We sometimes get more tired, as we want to do so many things, all at once :D
Until the end of the year would be impossible to make an entry for hive open mic too, just impossible, believe me. But maybe until the end your the year 2023 :P
Once again, I am very glad you liked this piano piece and my video, it was also a pleasure for me to record it! You Comment Rockkkkkk!! ;))
Thank you mucho por visitar esta publicación, te lo agradezco mucho don Fer 😇
¡Suena muy hermoso! Yo también toco esta canción, aunque siento que la tocamos muy diferente, uno, por tu nivel que es brutal y dos, tenemos diferentes partituras jaja. Me motivaste a volverla a ensayar, cuando la toco para el público les gusta mucho y bueno toca seguir con el repertorio. La peli es interesante la recomiendo para verla. Gracias por traer este post y la canción.
Hey Hansel :))
Es un honor que me escuchaste, colega. Hace tiempo que no he grabado nada en piano, pero disfrutaba cada momento de hacerlo. Bueno, esto no es una promesa que lo haré pronto de nuevo, pero sí que me gustó ya se intentará 🙂 🎶
Me alegro que esta publicación ta motiva a tocarla de nuevo. Si la ensayas y grabas (y publicas), me gustaría escucharla porque estoy segura que lo haces genial, como todo lo que tocas!
Feliz año 2023 @hanselmusic 🍾
Claro! Me gusta escuchar y aprender de buenos músicos como tu, así que fue motivador! Espero que cuando tengas el tiempo y quieras hacerlo sigas con los videos por acá. Yo repasaré la canción y cuando la tenga lista otra vez, la estaré subiendo. Un abrazo grande!
@mipiano how interesting it is to read you writings. It was more interesting with the sonorous sound of your piano.
I still find it difficult to coach people on joining the hive platform but maybe it's because I am still learning it. But could it be that I can mentor people the little I know of??
Nice engagement of the public with your writing and play.
I must say that I really love your play on the piano and also your piano itself is something to be admired, You better don't let me know your address, I could come and steal it 😅😅
Do have a blissful e holiday dear
Thank you @jesus-son for reading and listening to this piece! It's appreciated!!
Hahah, ok I will not let you know my address ;D but I do wish you had a piano like that, it is a good one 😇
Coaching people is not easy, but you can share what you know so you can go on that journey together and learn and improve day by day.
Alright, I get it. I will share the little I know. Thank you
For now I can't afford such piano. But I will get it when I am able.
Season's greetings to you @mipiano
The holidays have arrived, happy holidays to you, and yes, about the food you may be able to eat as much as possible, the new year is still a long time😅,
Haha, one day more of 2022, and then - a whole year of diet hahaha
😅🤣🤣
Sutileza, ternura y hermosura al tocar esta pieza… no escribiré más porque lo demás me lo reservo para mí. Feliz año nuevo estimada @mipiano!! 🤗😉
Gracias por escucharme @nancybmp , hace tiempo que no he grabado nada por aquí 😇🎶

Do you get lost in your music, letting yourself just go? That is how I feel when I listen, just sitting back and relaxing, letting the music take me over.
It flowed melodiously, the soothing sounds of the melodies.
I have eaten myself into a coma practically. The entire holidays, since Thanksgiving (the end of November), have been centered around food! I am horrified but, not really. Next year. It will all work out, I am not too worried. :) I am so glad you got some well-deserved time off, seems like mine gets frittered away, and I have to wonder where it all goes.
I read where you onboarded your friend (that moved close to you! Yay!) All I can say is give him a chance to try it out and guide him from there. He will do much better to get that intro post done and let him fledge, while you watch him. I didn't even know I had a wallet (or what it was) when I joined 5 1/2 years ago. Nobody did crypto, so it was all new to me. Now, crypto is almost mainstream, and so much has changed. Thankfully! They have all sorts of places to go to find help. There was no help back then, LOL Only if someone took pity on you. Not quite as dismal as I sound, but, I have a feeling your friend is going to do fine. After all, you are a great teacher, remember that.
I wish you a Happy New Year in case I don't see you tomorrow!
2023 is going to rock!
Playing the piano is many times like having a conversation with a person. I especially feel it when learning a new piece, it is like meeting someone for the first time and discovering some great things. When I am playing I indeed disconnect from other things, actually I don't know what is happening when a musician is playing music 😂 Hard to explain with words.
About my friend, if only we could have more time. They came here just for vacations, and it was pretty by accident they got the accommodation so close to us (well, nothing happens without a reason). In this short time, I explained as much as I could but yeah, it is too much all at once. He will have to find his way and I will encourage his steps and guide him (but through distance already) if he decides to let himself more into this adventure :))
Thanks and Happy New Year to you too, actually it came to my place already 53 minutes ago :D 🥂🥂🥂🥂💙
No, I understand completely, it is a world of its own. It is a relationship that need not be explained.
I watched the New Year's Eve around the world program last night, it was awesome to see the different cities celebrate!
Happy New Year!
Beautiful piece of music and playing :) My New Year resolution is to continue piano lessons that I've put on pause for a few years now.
Happy New Year, and yes, if you like to play the piano I wish you to continue with the lessons ;)
It can be so rewarding - playing a musical instrument :))
Andaaa, esas son las manos de @mipiano 😎 Por supuesto que hay que darles un toque personal a las publicaciones. Lo decía hace un rato respondiendo un comentario. Me parece que es la única manera de ser originales, siendo nosotros mismos.
Un abrazo... cuando pienses demasiado en comida, bebe agua 😃
Espero que te encuentres bien.
Sí, esas son las manos de mipiano :D
Beber agua cuando pienso en comida. Sería bien aprenderlo jajaja 😋
Jjjj... Perdona, me pongo muy intensa. 😆😆😆😆 Es como decirte, no comas, solo bebe agua. Lo mío no tiene nombre.
7 días de este comentario.... yo respondiendo a los mensajes.... oh, beber agua en vez de comer.... pero pero pero justo estoy desayunando!! Este yogur con cereales y frutas no lo cambio por agua jajaja 😄
Sí, la verdad es que te olvidaste de Nanixxx un poco 😆😆😆😆
No... Agua ahora no. Qué hambre me das. Aquí son las 4:32 am. Yo voy a acostarme ahora. Lindo día.
😱
A dormir entonces!!!!!
:D
Yo voy poco a poco respondiendo a los mensajes, ahora ya voy bien, me quedan solamente 72, con este incluido.
Lo que es bueno, porque el sábado abrí esta aplicación (engage) y tenía 132 mensajes...
😆
Well, once more. This is you in a nutshell. Scencently, the structure of your humanity is music. And as a musician, the passión goes through the piano as a tool for your inner beauty, friend. Lovely.
