Thank You...
When I was asked last week by Sir Randz to perform for the students' christmas party, I said yes. Yeah, outright. Well, I am used to performing - that is, singing. Everytime there is an occasion that I get myself invited to, I will be asked to sing.
I immediately asked Sir Biboy if he can accompany me on the guitar when I sing on December 16th, to which, of course, he obliged. We decided that I am going to sing two songs -- Angel and Bitch. Then, I got into practice. I am not very good with song lyrics. I kept forgetting them. But I did try hard to memorize them.
Then came yesterday, December 16th. At about lunchtime, Sir Biboy and I practiced at the MPH, the venue for the party. I can't hit the notes that I am supposed to hit. Damn! I told Sir Biboy to lower the pitch of the arrangement for the songs, but he didn't want to. Okay, I told myself, if during the performance I feel I can't hit it, then I will not.
At around 6:15pm, the party started. Sir Weng sang his songs. Then, I was introduced by the emcees -- Gracie and Ryan -- to sing mine. I went up the stage casually, with Sir Biboy, got the microphone, and sat on the seat especially prepared by Sir Randz. But the moment I faced the crowd -- I trembled. I don't know why! I told you I am used to singing to an audience, right? What was different tonight? Well, I am going to sing for the people I loved most -- my bosses, my co-faculty members, my co-employees, and my students. Seeing all of them, smiling and cheering, made me tremble. Tough duty, right? What can I probably do for them that was worth their time? What can I probably share to make them feel the love that I have for them?
Boy, was I nervous!!! I was trembling, but I told myself to relax, otherwise, I'll fall flat on my face! Then, I began to sing... Word per word, I felt it. And I hoped they did as well... I know, somehow, they enjoyed the songs, and the singing. Somehow, I wished they did feel the love that was in it... I remembered all the lines and I hit all the notes. I heard them singing with me. I saw them loving every moment of it...
