Today March 3 , 2011

I just got off the phone.

Oh gosh, what did I just get myself into. This is not me. Its hard for me to say yes to opportunities most of the time without giving it much thought. But what the heck! I don't want to think anymore.

My hands are still cold from all the nerves I've been piling up since the other day but at least my heart rate is slowing down now.

Ok, calm down. Breathe. Its all good.



I guess since I've been dying to have some excitement in my life, this should be a good start. Anythings a good start for a bum like me...except when we have rehearsals. or performances. or when I have harangs from time to time. or...well i guess I'm not a BUM bum after all. I'm a proud music bum! Yeh. I'm very thankful that I have something to get my butt out of the house, to look forward to and to more or less make my time useful and productive. Though, I have to admit that there are some days when I plainly have nothing to do but to sit around the house all day, and do exactly what every bum does best - watch tv, sleep, facebook, eat, pray, BLOG. Lol.

Like right now. No rehearsals later, no nothing, no kidding. Except for that jazz bar I'm going to tonight but thats still subject to change according to my mood. Other than that, my schedule today is as empty as my heart. Thankfully not yet my pocket!


Speaking of pockets, my harang stint the other day at Shangri la went pretty well. Imagine a fairly large, elegant, blue-motif function room filled with senior big-time doctors!(apparently, it was the President's Night awarding of the association of pulmonologists). It was so cool, I felt like if I had a heart and asthma attack combined on the spot, my chances of survival would still be around 99%. Woohoooooo!

In gatherings such as this, it would be a surprise if I recognized anyone. I am so out of the medical who-is-who roundabouts and have no plans whatsoever to be immersed in the field. The only doctors I really know are the doctors in my family. And Dr. Verilla, who was my doctor when I had a minor surgery back in 1st year college. And I don't even know his 1st name. Oh and Dra. Vicky Bello, Dr. Patch Adams and Dr. Phil, if they count.

Having said that, you could only imagine how surprised I was to see someone I knew walk into the venue! I saw Ermine Banares, my co-alto partner in crime back in MCHS Glee Club, and whom I haven't see since she graduated which was around 6-7 years ago! Gosh I feel so old. Anyway, I was sooo sooo sooo pleased to see her again! My god has she changed! She looked so feminine and mature - her hair smoothly tied back, wore black high heels, spectacles, paired with her white med-student uniform. She looked so poised, prim and proper. But the moment I yelled, "Hoy bakla!!" as I walked towards her, she looked at me and exclaimed, "HOY!", gave me a big hug and...well, you could say the image shattered and she became once again the Ermine I used to know. Apparently, she was there since her mom was a member of the association. Too bad we weren't able to talk long enough to catch up on each other but hopefully, MCHS Glee would have a reunion soon. People have been talking about it since I don't know when but this better actualize before the year ends or else! Hahaha.

Good ol' high school days. The best years which was born out of being in the Glee Club. It was also there where my penchant for choral singing grew. I am glad of what I've become now and where I am heading. I am thankful for what I've learned in UP and I am excited to learn and improve myself more beyond the confines of the institution. I think one of the most exciting times in one's life is when one is fresh out of college, free to explore the world and all its possibilities. At the same time, because there are so much possibilities, one sometimes gets stuck because of confusion and indecision. At least thats for my case. I think I'm sort of in between.

Thats why I should make a conscious effort to just do EVERYTHING I want to do, experiment and not be afraid of trying out new unchartered things. Thus, the phone call awhile ago.

What was it about?



Secret.



Wait and see until things turn out for the best.


Until my next blog entry!
