Passion

I was once a simple person. I’m not very attractive. I don’t have any special abilities. All I can do is think, analyze and solve Math problems. I enjoy doing that. I also enjoy writing and drawing. I can carry a tune, but I don’t have the quality voice worth hearing. Until I met violin.

I became a unique person. I became a violinist. People now look up to me because I have something that other people doesn’t have, a skill in playing the violin.

I started learning how to play it when I was 16 years old. Kinda late, but I thought it was never that late. I excel and did my best to learn the violin from ground up. I spent a lot of hours practicing every detail I want to learn from the violin. I was able to play with a group of people. I was indeed very happy. I met a lot of violinist and other musicians. I earned money while I’m playing the violin during weddings and other events. But this is not my passion. I enjoy playing because I know it will benefit to my “REAL” Passion.

My real passion? TEACHING.

I mostly enjoy teaching than playing. Teaching lets me relate to the people than playing. When I’m playing, I can relate my music to them but not up to the level wherein I really tell them how that music came out from me. Teaching does that. Even though it’s kinda stressful to let the students realize music and understand some theories behind it, I pretty much enjoy it. The scolding and shouting at students were just the beginning. These scenarios adds to the flavor of teaching. Just like a food that will not just satisfy you for a meal, but a food that will last.

This is where I invest my time, money and energy–Teaching the next generation to be musically aware even if they are in a third world country. Music subjects are neglected here in our country. It’s just a part of “MAPEH” (Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health). Most people see Music as EXTRA subject, not worth the time and studying. And I hate when I hear and see students (especially my students) neglect this subject, it hurts me. Why? I spent 4 years in college learning music theories and other related music subjects just to be neglected in the society? Think about it. What if we neglect doctors? Will they be hurt? Will they continue to serve us? What if we don’t have music teachers? How will people know the value of music? Don’t they know that in Ancient Greece, music is a major subject that is just like Astronomy and Math?

This is the passion that I won’t let to neglect. TEACHING MUSIC. I won’t stop. I won’t choose between Teaching and Playing, because both of them have the same value, teaching is just dominant to me.

This feeling

Ouchy. Achy. Aray.

This is how it feels when my 3rd molars are being removed. Well, I only feel it on the first day. which is a good thing because now, I can play the violin.

I only need to endure braces. hehe.. Eh, I’m super used in wearing brackets. so it’s not something new.

I can’t say much. This Christmas is nice because I spent it with my family.

Credit Crap

why crap?

I have been applying for 3 months already. No CIs then DENIED?

1. RCBC Landmark-Anson’s Credit card: I applied October 12, 2009. I waited. I called the customer representatives (they said it’s on process). Then I decided to fill up another form (it was November 5, 2009). Until now, no signs of Credit Investigation whatsoever. I’m frequently calling. Still ON PROCESS. I’m getting pissed.

2. BPI Blue Mastercard Credit Card: I applied November 12, 2009. I gave necessary documents especially the original Certificate of Employment. I called after 3 weeks: DENIED! I don’t know why. I regret giving them my original certificate of employment.

3. HSBC RED Mastercard: I just applied today. But the agent gave me a heads up (which is a good thing). She told me that I might have a hard time getting a credit card because I don’t have TIN (Tax Identification Number). So, I ‘ll be getting one over the holidays, and pay the tax I need to pay in order to get a good financial standing. But she told me that she’ll help me. Oh How I wish it’s going to be okay. Anyway, I don’t expect too much from this. Good thing there’s a heads up from her.

Hay. I hope I can get one soon. I might apply for a secured credit card first before getting the regular one. But, I need to save up a lot. Anyway, I just need to lessen my expenses and save more.

What is Love?

This blog is supposed to be my “LOVE BLOG”. Wherein I share stuffs I love, people I love and activities I love. But, I am so devastated today. Since Saturday, I feel very uneasy. My emotions seems to mix again. I was very happy at a certain point, but I became very irritated, then happy again.

It all began when I decided to date. I wear a nice dress (mini-skirt). We were in a very nice place. I got irritated when I waited for 25 minutes. He said he was coming, on his way to where I am. BUT hindi pa pala. He was about to finish the movie, but when I came to our meeting place: WALA PA SIYA. He’s not yet there. He’s still in the movie house. I’m waiting in vain along Serendra. I was not sitting down. I was standing wearing my quirky white and brown dress. After that, he didn’t apologize nicely. He reacted as if I was wrong. He said I didn’t tell him that I’m there already. (I have been calling him like 10 times and telling him that we’ll meet na, and I’ve been telling him that I’m there na in our meeting place for 25 minutes) I was expecting that he might bring flowers for making me wait. BUT NO! He didn’t. I don’t know if he really loves me. I didn’t know that he’s not sweet. He’s just sweet when he wants to, but if circumstances fail him, he won’t. and I don’t like it very much. We’re okay after we walked and bought starbucks and sit down at xocolat–drank aztec hot chocolate and went home very happy.

We went to date again the next day. Just to make up for the mishap we had the other day. And He insisted to finish the movie he was watching. So I was like, uh-okay. We’re happy during our date. Until we went home. We have this exchange gift every week in our house. So we’re waiting for the other housemates to go home and together we will open the presents. Unfortunately, 2 housemates were not at home. We waited until 12mn. I want to open my present. He doesn’t want to. He said I WAS SO UNFAIR. I was hurt, deeply hurt. All I wanted is to open the gift. I just want to see it. I just want to experience getting a gift. I was so hurt that i don’t want to talk to him. I slept on the couch. We’re texting and I told him that he never said sorry to me. He never apologize nicely. He just said sorry, without any grace and love. I hate it. It’s like he doesn’t care for me. It looks like he don’t love me.

I was imagining the man who loves me deeply (unfortunately, I don’t love him yet). I was imagining that he is taking me to the park, we’re walking until our feet hurts. We’re having a picnic and he’s telling me that he loves me. He’s telling me that if ever we have an argument, he’ll be the first one to tell me sorry. He’ll give me flowers and hug me and tell me that he can’t live without me. I want that kind of man. I want a man who treats me like his princess. I wasn’t treated as a princess (maybe because I act like a boy). But it’s not a reason for not treating me like a woman.

As I sleep on the couch, my tears are flowing while I imagine that “man” strolls me at the park, surprise me every single date we had, and I was not spending any penny for it. He did it because he loves me and wants to take care of me.

Why? All I wanted it love. My papa never had a time that he didn’t care for my mama. Although they don’t show it often, but I feel it. I super feel it. Now, I have my man, I don’t feel it. I can see his passion, but it seems like his heart is not into it anymore. I want him to love me. I love him very much. I was the one who keeps on humbling myself before him. I was the one who keeps on giving him surprises. I was the one who says sorry to him in a very gentle manner.

I remembered. God told me that I’ll spend the rest of my life with him. I said, “I don’t like”. It was because of this attitude. He doesn’t want fancy stuffs for his girl. He was okay for a time. But heck, it will be 2 years next year since I said yes to him. I said yes because God destined me to be with him. Okay, kinda wrong. But I knew all along that I love him. He was the man I want minus the un-gentleman factor.

waaaa… I’m kinda torn. I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what will happen. I don’t know if he’ll apologize just as I wanted. I don’t know if he’ll like the idea of giving me chocolates or flowers for my comfort. I don’t know. He was never like that. He will just say sorry then we’re okay. I wanted to be treated differently. I want to feel being treated as a special person. I want someone who takes care of me, because in return I will truly take care of him. I will make him feel very very special.

I don’t know love anymore. My heart broke. It hurts so much. And the one who cause it doesn’t want to heal it. He doesn’t want to face his mistake.

In the end, I’d still hold on to this word: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not boast… it doesn’t keep a record of wrong..”

I won’t keep this until he apologize. Maybe that’s why his parents are separated. waaa.. I don’t want to say that. But as I can see, it looks like that.

I’m torn. Logging Off.

I am not a girl

and i’m not a boy too. hehe.

I’m not the girly-girl type of person. I love being active. I love traveling. I often use make-up because I want to look natural all the time. I want to walk, walk and walk until my feet hurts. I want to listen and I want to be heard. I want to talk especially to people I really love and care. I can understand.

But, I’m still a girl.

I’m quite immature sometimes. I’m moody. I’m often selfish, but in a good way.

I hate it when people tell me that I don’t act like a girl. I’m still a girl. Maybe that’s the reason why I don’t act like one (that they expect me to be). I believe that being “gentle and quiet spirit” (as said in the bible) is in the HEART. Although some contest that “out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks”, but I believe that people do not see our heart. and yeah, People tend to look at the outside appearance of a person.

I’m ranting again.

I just hate it when people think otherwise.

Btw, I want to have my braces again. my teeth is becoming freaky again.   I hope I can get funds for my ortho payment.

gosh.

I hate singing

As of November 12, 2009 11:30PM

Why? I just realized that I can’t do it anymore. I officially admit that I have a VERY BAD SINGING VOICE. Since my mama died, I stopped singing. I stopped singing mainly because no one appreciates. No one will ever like my singing voice (even my boyfriend). No one will appreciate it because it’s kinda annoying. Although I can carry a tune, but singing is not for me.

Good thing I realized it earlier than this.

Actually I quit singing after I officially loved how a violin sings. As I fell in love with the violin, I lose my singing voice. Before I don’t hate it, I just stopped singing.

As I see young singers rising up (and heck, heaps of them are just like copy-cat), my singing voice is beginning to deteriorate. And I’m more on violin playing nowadays, so the singing will never be an asset for me.

So next time, if you are going to ask me to sing, PLEASE DON’T.

I officially HATE it. If I am going to make a song, I won’t put any lyrics, I’ll just let my violin do the singing.

I’M NOW A SINGING HATER…

Sorry for those who are singers.. I love instrumental music rather than vocal music. AND this type of singing doesn’t have to do with worshipping God. I just hate the manner of singing, I don’t hate worshipping. OKAY?

I Hate Gossips

I super, duper, HATE it. I was one of the subjects of gossips. I hate it very much. I don’t want people talking about me. I don’t want them to keep thinking what am I doing. I don’t want them to assume something’s wrong with me, well in fact WALA NAMAN!

I’m irritated.

I don’t want to say much. BUT for those people who keeps on spreading WRONG INFORMATION about me. PLEASE STOP IT. Stop assuming as if you are close to me. Well, if we meet once, that doesn’t mean we’re close. You don’t know me and I don’t know you. SO SOD OFF!

I’ll keep on doing what God wants me to do. I don’t want to be distracted because of GOSSIPS.

보고싶아

보고싶아… Bo go ship da. It means “I MISS YOU” or longing for something.

Right now, I deeply miss my violin. She’s with the luthier now. It’s being fixed. Due to our climate, Purfie’s (the way I call my violin) fingerboard got broken. That’s why I decided to bring it yesterday, along with other violins from my friend.

I will be playing on Thursday for Acel Van Ommen’s guesting at a morning show, UMAGANG KAY GANDA. Since my violin and other violins I am using were with the luthier, I asked my friend if I could lend her violin. Good thing she said yes! hehe…

I’m pretty much excited on how my violin would sound after she went to the luthier. weee..
