Summer is almost over and I really don't know where those 2 months went!!! Yes, I'm still here... The past couple of weeks have been somewhat "weird" as I've been done with my treatment and overwhelmed by all the things I have had to catch up with! :) I have to admit it is a VERY pleasant change from staying home all day and having nothing to do. I've been running errands here and there, and let me tell you, if I haven't written something down in my little black notebook, then you can be sure that it is NOT going to get done. It seems that my memory is REALLYYYYYYYY bad nowadays and I forget things about 3 seconds after I'm told them.... weird... what if I have alzeihmers? (aman, that's nothing to joke about....hehehe)
So last Sunday--the one that just passed, I went to a concert where the "Little Singers of Armenia" performed! These young singers had come to the U.S. representing Armenia in different competitions and so they also did a little tour in different parts of the U.S., of course Los Angeles being one of their "stops". I had met the director of the choir, Tigran Hekekyan, the first time his choir visited L.A. back in the mid 90's. How he is able to teach these young children is AMAZING!!! The only way to describe how incredible they sound is to say that while sitting in the audience, if you were to close your eyes, you'd hear ONE voice...as if ONE person was singing, but in reality there are about 40 children singing. Today they return to their hometown Yerevan and from speaking with them, it was apparent that even though they were having a good time on their tour, they were anxious to go back HOME....and that to me was what made them an incredible group of young Armenians. They expressed through their songs (even with their big Armenian eyes) the love for Hayasdan and it's that genuine feeling that gives you the goosebumps while listening to them! :) BRAVO!!!
Ahhh yes, Arsineh mentioned Olympics in Philly. I will also be heading out to Philly next Thursday, which will be the last big bang of this summer! :) This would be my 3rd Olympics experience, and let's just say they get better each time, because each year you make more friends and meet more people and so it becomes more than just a "regular" Armenian event. This year, us "west-coasters" are participating in the softball games....so let's see how that goes! :)
More to come...
TSUH! :)~
