Two Songs on a Rainy Day... Bwahahahahahaaaa... achoo!

Miyerkules ng hapon, naisipan kong mag-ensayo ng keyboard. Habang nasa kasagsagan ako ng pag-eensayo, dumilim ang paligid, at bumuhos ang napakalakas na ulan... Epekto ng global financial crisis... este global climate change pala...

Seriously... gusto ko talaga gumawa ng kanta ng araw na iyon... Hindi pa umuulan ng ma-conceptualize ko ang Chandes, isang awiting masasabi kong pang-umaga. Ang "Chandes" ay isang tapsilugan na matatagpuan sa kanto ng Alvares, malapit sa Bambang. Naisip ko na gawin itong mala-"Morning Dance" ng Spyro Gyra, ayon na rin sa konsepto na gusto kong ipahiwatig. Kasi nga naman, ang tapsilog kinakain kadalasan kapag umaga.

Ikalawa naman ang "Falling In Love With Raindrops." Nako-conceptualize ko na siya noong minsang umuwi ako at nagpapakabasa sa ulan. Haha... Eh biglang umulan habang ginagawa ko ang Chandes. Tinapos ko ang Chandes, at sinimulan na ang "Falling..." Ito ang ikalawa kong komposisyon na may kinalaman sa kalikasan, una na dito ang "Falling Leaves." Ang awiting "Falling In Love With Raindrops" ay pinaghalong lovesong at pangkalikasang awitin. Hahaha...

P.S.

Tsaka ko na lang iku-kwento kung bakit naman "Chandes" ang naisip kong ipangalan sa kantang iyon... Haha...

Passion

"Wala kasi kayong passion."
"Dapat, meron kayong passion."
"Passion ang number one na meron kayo dito sa IT industry."

By this words, you know who said this. I mean, who’s the CCMIT professor who always say these things.

Passion is one thing that one must have in order for one person to achieve his goals, however hard it is, whatever road you will take. He’s right, except for one thing. I don’t think I would have the same passion and zeal he has to survive the IT industry for my entire life. This is something I never intended to do for the rest of my life. But why still I continue my studies?

"Bakit ba kayo nag-IT? Para kumita ng pera?"

And my answer, definitely yes!

"Bakit hindi na lang kayo nag-nursing?"

I don’t think I will learn to have passion to care for people I don’t know. No, it’s not that way… Number one, most of my friends are nurses. Number two, I don’t want to stay for 16 hours in a hospital. And number three, patients would not like my service because they expect a handsome guy (or a pretty girl) to attend to them. I should know because that is the ONLY thing I like when I am confined.

Maybe you’re asking yourselves right now: where is my passion?

Music.

Music is what am I doing since I was a kid. Music is what I want to do everyday. Music keeps me going inspite of many hindrances, inspite of many heartbreaks and failures I’ve encountered. Music is where I can give my 110 percent. And music is what I will do as long as I live.

Now, I am going to continue my IT studies for the sake of money, for the sake of living. And when the right time comes, I am going to give my all for music.
