How To Fix Your Bad Day - Advice

 So you had a bad day, as that one tiktok song goes, and you're here, on the electronic communications network, looking for solutions. Lucky for you, I'm here as well, and I'm ready to help.

I have bad days all the time, and so I have a few tricks up my sleeve to help you overcome these uncomfortable days. As a disclaimer, I must tell you that none of these will work as a replacement for actual critical thinking and problem solving. I choose to ignore my problems, until they just magically disappear. If that is the approach you choose to take, then welcome and enjoy.

Before you do anything, first always decide if your bad day is caused by a legitimate problem. If it is, avoid that problem at all costs. This is very important. You must not, under any circumstances, try to resolve this issue in any way. Ignore it. Run from it. Neglect is the best medicine.

Once you have temporarily escaped your problem(s), make sure to overthink it to the smallest details. What helps me create the best false reality is recreating non-existent scenarios in my head and then feeling all the emotions I would feel were these scenarios to happen in real life. I highly recommend you do the same, as I am an expert over-thinker. Advice from me should never be taken with a grain of salt. 

Now, it is time to have a little pep talk. Everybody knows that if you manifest positivity into the universe, it will come into your life. Do you feel like Cinderella? Well screw that! It's time to be your own fairy godmother. Take some glitter and sprinkle it all over your room, and then sit down on the floor by your mirror - crying - and tell yourself that you are a Queen or King. Because when push comes to shove, nobody is going to believe in you unless you believe in you. Also, crying is apparently good for your soul. (I keep writing this over and over again in all my posts because I'm having a hard time believing it myself.)

Now, Kings and Queens, stand up and face that one phone call you have to make, because take-out isn't going to order itself, unfortunately.

"Faces of Love" Feb 11, 2024: Music on the Hill Benefit

Vicky Ehrlich and Ava Soifer Something folks may not know about me is that not only do I love live music, I ADORE small performance venues that create intimate settings for enjoying the live music mentioned above. To further the plot, I am enraptured by house concerts and struggle to think of a house concert I have attended and walked away disliking. It seems that house concerts are by default enjoyable and provide an elevated form of intimate live music and entertainment lacking in our digital age.  February 11th I had the utmost pleasure of attending my first house concert since 2018, a benefit concert for Music on the Hill , a community-supported, non-profit chamber music organization presenting "high quality concerts at affordable prices".  "Faces of Love" was a vocal concert predominantly featuring pianist and music director of Music on the Hill Ava Soifer and two members of the internationally renowned vocal a cappella ensemble Chanticleer , bass Andy Berry an...

Renée Fleming's Recital Feb 9, 2024: Maria Manetti Shrem Great Artist Performance at Cal Performances

About a year or so ago, I promised to resume writing what The Freako Diva was conceived for from the very start in 2012 -- responses to musical performances. In order to avoid the social, political, and moral ramifications of writing what in our society is called a "music review" or "music critique," The Freako Diva will now play host to the launch of my convoluted replacement: Rubina's Responses to Musical Performances . Please enjoy my musical response to Renée Fleming's recital with Cal Performances on February 9, 2024, alongside pianist Howard Watkins. With a compelling concept undergirding Fleming's programming, the recital was accompanied by an original film created by National Geographic -- Voice of Nature: The Anthropocene -- inspired by Fleming's Grammy Award-winning album of the same name which "explores nature as both inspiration and casualty of humanity."  The Anthropocene theme allowed for a captivating multi-media approach, w...
