Sing It

I just can’t believe that for nearly five years I’ve set aside music from my personality. I let myself become preoccupied with nothing else but work and television.

Scouring, copying and memorizing songs seemed so tedious. Even learning them became very trivial. Listening to them has been enough for me. Of course, there are a few moments when I spend a little effort on learning a particular song when I really like it. So, I guess I cannot really pronounce a sheer abandonment of my attention to music. Matter of fact, I’m a little updated with OPM hits.

But you know what? When you’re a music lover, you’ll remain to be one in a lifetime. Now, I’m gonna browse all the lyrics of the songs I like in the internet and learn to sing them all. Honestly, my mood is more relaxed and gay when I listen and sing songs. My cluttered mind organizes and forms a positive perspective.

Now this should be part of my 2007 resolutions.

music lifestyle… then and now

Today, at exactly 1:31 between noon and evening as I size up the music video of Nina in MTV , I recall as a 10 year old boy I keep a tab on MTV, which used to be aired at studio 23 until it was replaced by MYX, whenever I’m off-school. To me it’s a cup of tea, nothing can ever make my day but watching MTV.

I can as well remember how crazily funny I was in taking down all the albums I wanted to have. It’s grotesquely funny ‘coz I think there are more than a hundred albums I have in my list grouped in seven- I’ll buy all seven together. The absurd part is none, not even a single copy, were ever purchased ‘coz I never had ample cash to buy even any one of ‘em. Ridiculous, isn’t it?

Now my frustrated addiction on buying albums have perished. Moreover, all those albums I planned to buy are either sold-out or hard to find. In addition, cassette is out, CD is in. And the inauspicious thing is they’re uneconomical (at least to me) even if my stipend can manage. As a result, I opt to buying OPM albums instead since they’re way much cheaper plus they’re quite great songs.

Nowadays, MTV is much less of an importance and their programming has evolved from all music to partly a reality-tv which I like less. Hence, a lot of foreign hits are genuinely foreign to my eardrums (you know what I mean, don’t you?). Radio is quite invisible in our house so can’t really track on the latest hits these days. But I do know some though.

Anyhow, nothing has changed much on my love for music. I still sing a lot and listen when I do have the time. However, when before I use to say music is my life… well, that I think changed ‘coz I believe it’s more apropos to say music will always be a part of my life.
