Smart Blogger Award

This is something I didn't expect to receive really. But I have to admit I am amused. Thank you, Chris for passing this award to me. I do appreciate the gesture.

Accordingly, the recipient of this award is not your everyday blogger. If you visit their blog, one thing for sure you will learn something (but most of the time, a lot) that's really worth the time you spend reading their post. Their post is always well-written, with good grammar (still working on that :)) very insightful, inspiring, thought provoking and you always wish that you've written it (you won't wish to have written mine, lol!). They always have great stories to tell, either about life, about themselves, or their family. Once you read their blog, there's one thing that will stick to your head, that they are absolutely, no doubt, a Smart Blogger!

*Link the one who gave this award and let them know you posted it.
*Pass this to as many Smart Bloggers as you can think and make sure to write something about them, like what makes you think they are Smart.
*Let them know they have an award.

Since receiving this award, I have been thinking of who to pass this on to (besides sorting out an infection which tied me to the bed these past few days), and there were other chores that caused the delay in posting. Alright without further ado, here we go.

i Share - Indrani, the talent behind this blog writes very informative and interesting posts. I keep coming back. Her pictures are a visual delight, and I learn something everytime I visit her blog. Despite my being new in the blogosphere, I know a smart blogger when I see one :)

Sense and Sensibility: 200th anniversary

In 1811 Thomas Egerton of Whitehall, London published Sense and Sensibility . Quick math shows it has been two centuries since Jane Austen became a full-fledged author. Quite an anniversary, indeed. A celebration, I declare . Blogs regarding the publication anniversary of this romance novel picture Jane Austen 's engagements whilst making the final touches of her manuscript from Sloane Street. In letters to her sister Cassandra, Jane gave accounts of her shopping for muslin, the party that their brother Henry and SIL Eliza gave; mentioned several acquaintances, and referred to her book as S and S . As a fan I wonder which between sense and sensibility did JA deem more important since she portrayed both attributes equally well. I'm obliged to enthuse over my S & S reading experience. Alas, I only managed fourteen chapters before getting sidetracked by another novel, the very first that JA wrote. I will resume and complete my affair with the celebrant before 2011 end...

Thank you for blogging and happy new year!

Hallelujah Chorus: stand or sit?

According to legend, King George II of England rose to his feet when the Hallelujah Chorus was sung. Following protocol his subjects rose up as well. Thus began the tradition of audiences around the world rising during the Hallelujah performace. There are many speculations as to why the king stood or if he even stood at all. The Bangkok Combined Choir is composed of volunteer singers of around twenty nationalities. Every year in December, the choir performs Handel's Messiah. I sang once. (pure luck: there was no audition in 2000) Rehearsals got me thinking of the tradition of standing when the Hallelujah Chorus is sang. I googled what people have to say and my today is a list of opinions about audience decorum during the chorus: 1. The Hallelujah Chorus is like an anthem for the church. Whenever you hear it you are supposed to stand up. 2. Standing for the Hallelujah Chorus just interrupts the performance. 3. People should not be taught that they need to stand up at a certain time ...
