THIS IS A BLOG ABOUT HOW PROUD I AM OF MY VOICE. Yes. I like my voice and I thank God for this wonderful gift. Haha. Remember that fake humility = pride. So me gots no fake humility
)
So today, there was a joint worship celebration. Three churches on one worship service. T’was fun. UAE’s Philippine ambassador was also there. She attended even though she was a Catholic and we were Born Again Christians. Aside from being respectful, she’s really smart, and she’s such a good speaker, too!
I sang Ulan (Rain) at Church for a special number. It’s an original composition by my piano (keyboard) teacher’s friend, but my teacher arranged it. He let me and my sister sing it, with him, my mom and another churchmate to accompany us on some parts. It’s been a while since I ever sang like that, y’know. And then after our song number, everyone kept patting my back and smiling and shaking my hands and all, telling me how much I owned it. I mean, most of the time, my sister and I both get the attention, but this time it was, y’know. ME.
Hahaha yeah, Do I sound arrogant? It’s not anything like that. I was just surprised. My hardwork’s paying off after all! LOL And finally, here are people telling me I’ve improved.
After singing, I sat down and was praised about my voice. I actually left and went downstairs after the service and then my mom went to me saying people were asking about me and from what Church I came from, and some people who already knew me were surprised to know that I can sing. Pastors were also asking who we were. Some even told my mom that they felt like they were at some concert. Those people are so appreciative! Like wow. I didn’t get that much attention before! I feel blessed.
Not gonna lie. My voice ain’t like the ones you hear on TV or on the radio. Far from that, actually. But I guess I can sing. It’s just plain like that. I just can sing.
I thank God for this amazing gift!

New layout, just like what you said on your twitter. I think I’m too late though.
Ah, singing, it’s good to know you have the potential. Didn’t you feel nervous back there? After all, you have the potential. Hmm, just a thought, do you have a video or something? Who knows, you might get e-famous or some sort…or at least post a teaser Chiui.
