Canon D and Patricia Grace


On February 6th, 2007 at 1:49am, the Good Lord blessed us with our third child Patricia Grace Moses. When she was born, she was 7lb 5oz in weight and 20.5 inches. Time flies by so fast since I still remember holding my first child Tabitha Moses in my arms. Patricia looks alot like Tabitha and I am looking forward to raising her.

Since time flies by fast, it won't be long before Tabitha and Patricia are walking down the isle in their white and expensive gowns. As they are walking, my wife Michelle and I will hear the traditional Johann Pachelbel's Canon D.

Mozart's Rendition
Here is it:



Performance on Harp
While I was researching other version of the song, here is someone performing this song on a harp.



Performance on a flute.



Performance on Saxophones
Amateurs performing on couple of saxophones. As the description on the video said, the instruments need to be tuned. The people remind me like the crew from Napolean Bonaparte.



Performance on Drums
Reuben Grigrich's performance on the drums.



Before I close with this video, I would like to state that Tabitha and Patricia may pick the traditional Canon D rendition for their wedding or something different like Canon D being played on a saxophone, a harp, drums or a electric guitar. The point is that the human mind is creative enough to take something beautiful like Canon D and add their own twist to it. I hope you enjoyed this blog entry.

A Eulogy for my grandmother

Image
On Saturday July 16th, 2011, I gave a eulogy for my grandmother.  Here is the text of the eulogy: Today I am honored and humbled to talk about my grandmother.  She was a constant presence in my life. From the time I lived with her and her family (while my parents worked in the Middle East) to the time she spent some time with my wife Michelle and me. I could count her for sound advice, an understanding heart and wisdom of ages.  Her walk with the Lord was admirable and the fear of the Lord visible. Couple of days before she passed away, I spent some time with her and I saw a side of her which I hadn't seen before.  She was a fighter and a person how never gave up. It makes sense now this fighting spirit helped her raise her children into god fearing individuals, parents and grandparents.  As my uncle stated a few days ago, imagine if she wasn't a fighter where would the kids be. Where would I be? I close now by saying this: I realize I will see her again but till then I

Kashmiri memories

Image
In the mid-80s,  my parents, my brother and I visited Srinagar in Kashmir, India. We stayed in a bed-and-breakfast houseboat on the Dal Lake.  I remember beauty, meeting merchants who sold saffron and wild honey .  The other remarkable thing is that the local police had beards, which were not seen in the rest of India.  I also saw locals carry their Kangers.  Kangers are woven baskets that have hot embers that are carried by folks under a Kashmiri robe called a Pheran . My trip to Kashmir was a unique experience because it was my first trip to a Muslim-dominant India where the customs were different from the majority of secure India.  It reminded me of Old Delhi, which is predominantly of Muslim Indians. While I was in Srinagar, there was a sense of uneasiness due to the political turmoil.  I am not sure if my family and I had a bias that Kashmir is trouble and we need to be extra cautious.  The local Kashmiri folks were great.  As a cricket fan, I was surprised to see a lot of cricke

Looking Overseas and Beyond

Rather than go to the Lord's Supper, today I stayed home today since my daughter Tabitha has been sick with a cough and a high fever. I realized that with four small kids that I don't have time to socialize with my friends nor do activities with my wife. With four kids, my life revolves around work, commuting (4-5 hours a day) and spending time with my family. It's been good to get a break during the Christmas and just relax. We are planning to go South Carolina for a church conference next week. As far as work is concerned, I am open to job close by my house. If that doesn't pan, I am considering getting a job at the UN and work in Europe (Austria, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, UK and others) or South America (Mexico, Brazil) for a few years and expose my family to the international life. I was blessed when I was kid to have seen different cultures and lifestyles and those experiences have helped me in my life. According to some of my co-workers, FAA has to take y
