Planning to Retire Soon!

If you are planning to retire in the Philippines soon, I suggest you visit several excellent websites on pro's and cons of retiring in the Philippines. However if you want to retire in the provinces, where life is simple, standard of living cheaper, less traffic congestion and pollution, availability of fresh seafood and vegetables compared to the big cities, my island province is the place for you! If this is your first time in my site, welcome. Some of the photos and videos on this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention on the infringement of your copyrights.

Last Night Candlelight Concert was a Musical Success


This was my first Candlelight Concert held once a month on Saturday Evening that I attended here at THD. I enjoyed it very much, because we were allowed to request songs and sing along with it. The Guest performer was Rodney Burge ( see flyer above) on the Piano.  It was held at the Fireside Lounge instead of the Yoga Room as advertised.  

Some of the songs we sang along with were Some Enchanting Evening, Bali Hai, Unforgettable and Impossible Dream.  Richard Bottom sang solo some of the songs.  The Favorite of the evning was I could have Danced All Night from the Broadway Musical, My Fair Lady. Here are three photos I took during the Concert.

I had 2 glasses of Champagne and 2 Dark Chocolate Signature Reserve Sea Salt Truffles. The chocolate was delicious and the Champagne bubbly. I enjoyed both very very much.   

Meanwhile here's my favorite quotes on music.

Music Quotes
  • One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain. ... 
  • Music is a moral law. ... 
  • Where words fail, music speaks. ... 
  • I think music in itself is healing. ... 
  • Without music, life would be a mistake. ... 
  • Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.


Richard and Linda Botton were also in attendance. There was a new resident ( first time I saw her) that attended but left after 5 minutes.  Galen announced that our next Saturday concert will feature an opera singer. Looking forward for the next Saturday Candlelight Concert.  Tune-In for additional photos from Galen.  Have a Great Sunday!

 Lastly, here's my article on whether musical/artistic ability is inherited or not.
