Happy new year peeps! How's the 2012 so far? For me its family gathering all over and spend some good solid time with uncles and aunts. My brothers are going for a more musical approach to the new year with the purchases or two guitars each. $200++, rich asses. They are doing good so far, being able to play songs with simple cords. All these beautiful melody floating in my house, Ashley decided to get one herself!
She wanted to get guitar long before my bros bought them. Its just that her mom takes quite a long time to get things done. So this time this little girl took the first step all by herself. She wanted a guitar but obviously it was too large for her miniature build. So she came across an instrument that was smaller, looks like a violen, looks like a mini guitar but all in all a unique instrument with rhythms comparable to its size. Some of you may know it, its called a Ukulele. Originated from Hawaii it looks so Kawaii! -okay, so lame- If you can imagine and picture an image of a tan man, slightly plump, wearing lose shirt with flora imprints and colorful flower hung around his neck and on his head, playing a Ukulele by the beach in the Australian sunset accompanied with some dancers in coconut bikinis. So baby asked around and got info that Peninsula was selling some of these but she didn't want to get it from there because both of us didn't quite like that sorta place. She then resorted to the good old reliable Google punched the keys. Ukulele Movement was what she came across. It was located pretty close to my place and went down despite the time of the day.
Before entering the building sighted some beastly automobils, there were the BMW's Z4, Maserati Grancabrio -baby's fav- and the Nissan's GT-R -my favorite-. Our mood was then all perked up before we even set foot into Ukulele Movement! So, it the showroom was on the 5th floor and took the "lift". The lift was those antique ones where you have to pull down the door shut and slide the gate across before the lift buttons lid up. Excited and a kinda nervous i went at it! A little greasy and dusty though... Shut the doors and slid the gate a couple of times but the lift just won't move. Turns out to be a fake lift which is just for show... The working one is slightly located at the right! Whatever, we made it to the 5th floor. Greeted by aisle of Ukulele and a handful of friendly shop keeper! Had the guy explained to us what its all about and the basics of it. Really nice environment, love it there!
Baby got her Uke on the next day with JJ accompanying us. She got really happy and the way she carried it on her back, whoosh! Super cute! Tried it @ home with JJ coaching her in my room and the way she loved her new toy really entertained me! It's really nice to see someone you love being so passionate about something! I hope small baby improves on her playing and never lose that passion!
The Ukulele and My girl really complement each other~ Really glad she got the Uke and not a guitar as it may not be as cute as it is now!
Cuteness sure do come in small packages.
