Ke ke ke ~
Guess what, humans?
I have a guitar!
:DDD[
Lol, if you don't get the joke, it's ok.]
[
Don't strain yourself.]
I went with a friend to get it,
and believe it or not,
I was praying hard [
I'm serious]
that I would see the guitar, and fall in love with it.My budget's $400, and only $500+ if I get a baby Taylor.
My mum was adamant in me not getting a $600 Fender acoustic
[
which I thought was $600 at that time]
[
so don't stone me, you guitar pros.]
[
..Unless you consider yourself a pro at Guitar Hero.]
[
Then I suggest... You start picking up the real thing.]
So I walked into the first shop,
and there were walls of guitars.
I saw the Ibanez acoustics,
[
have always loved Ibanez-s.. The influence of an ex.]
and I saw one, just that one.
And I couldn't help but go
O___O.
Saw the price-tag, which made me go
$__$.
600 bucks, yo.I was quite disappointed.
But I thought to myself..
"Ok, if he picks it up, then MAYBE. I mean, he has to say it's good. Ok..... Let's watch and see."*watches intently*
*friend scrolls through all the guitars as intently as I was watching him*
*PICKS UP THAT GUITAR*
[It was the first!!]OMW.[
= Oh my word]
IT'S THE ONE.
WAIT WAIT, PRICE TAG. PRICE TAG.
$____$
"OK, OK. IF MUM ALLOWS. Oh, what are the chances.."
*calls mum*"Hey ma [trying to sound casual], can I get an Ibanez guitar at $600 please?""Is it good?""Yupp. My friend says so. Y'know you can trust him.""Ok, go ahead.".....WHAT JUST HAPPENED.So I happily asked for it at the counter,
and the dude was like,
"Oh yeah, I'll give you a 20% discount. Ok, pay $420."[So I've kept within the budget.]
O____O
And thinking back, it's more than a 20% discount, ain't it?
[My friend says he thought he heard 40%]
And so,
I can only attribute it to God's blessing.
[
Thank you Jesus!!]
And it has been so lovely.
The name?
Well, I considered it.
For a long time actually,
but I'll just call it
ギター [Gita, or Guitar].
:)Heh.
I know, it sounds like I'm making a big fuss out of nothing.
But it really excites me because
1) It's my first guitar!! :D
[Gonna keep it till the 3rd gen]
["GRANDSON. BURY ME WITH IT. PROMISE ME."]
["FOR THE LAST TIME, MAMAW, OK."]
[Don't ask me why I'm switching to country]
2) I can definitely see God working His hand in everything. :D
3) My friend came all the way down from his place,
[which is VERY FAR, since we live in different countries.]
to help me pick it out.
[Well, he had other things on too.]
[BUT I AM TOUCHED.]Yeah!
And so this is the news I've been dying to tell y'all since last week! :D
But it's been so crazy.
Which brings me to my next point,
it's the last week of training already!
I thought that, to be fair,
I should at least show you guys what I do, where I am and stuff,
minus the humans.
[
Fair enough? :)]
[
Didn't and don't wanna get their permission for pictures.]
[
Too many humans to consult.]
Right,
so I'll post the next one up,
real soon, hopefully! :D
Graduation's on Saturday!And I'll be performing a song on that day!
All glory goes to God. :D
