It knocks only once

I didn't know exactly that I'd get to be part of that meeting-- that meeting that might change everything.

The Yuarji was supposed to meet up yesterday but because of the weather, only Anaw and Eka came. I was supposed to treat the whole Yuarji to the movies, in celebration of something really good. Maybe I'll just treat them some other time. I treated Anaw and Eka to the movies anyway since I was in the mood naman. We watched Skin Walkers. The verdict? Eeew. AAH!. Haha. B+ rating. :P

After the movie, we grabbed something to bite, strolled down the mall, went to Worlds of Fun and went gaga over lousy tickets, ate finger-licking C&C ice creams, and went to Musician's Corner. Why oh why we went there? Well, MC will be conducting a concert event and they asked Anaw to be part of it since Anaw is a student of MC [pati si KAT] [I'm also a stude in MC, only that I wasn't able to reach until that recital thingy since I was so busy I couldn't attend Drum lessons anymore], but since Anaw is with the Encord band, she decided to incorporate the whole Encord band [which includes Eka and yours truly] with the concert.

We had to go MC to register. I was expecting to have paper and pen business only, but when Kuya Third asked us to go with him "upstairs" for "the meeting", that was when things started to get weird and exciting. Since the meeting would start by 4, we stayed on one of the training rooms to wait. There were 2 guitars there so nagkantahan na lang muna kami. When they called us for the meeting, I got all jittery and I didn't know why.

Kuya Jeff, who looked like Kamikazee's vocalist, greeted us upon entering the room. Apparently, we were not the only people who attended the meeting. Nikki, 12, freshman from MG, the shy one, and taking up drum lessons, and Melanie, 13, who already have a number of singing experiences on stage, together with her mom, were there too. We were only five and I was the oldest girl there by the way. WHAAT!?

So here's the thing: Kuya Jeffrey is from Center for Pop [I bet you know where and what the H this CFP is]. He has already produced a number of concerts for young artists and the way he speaks, I know he's really good. Apparently, the concert being carried out isn't just a simple and run of the mill concert. It's like a Sarah Geronimo-- Araneta/CCP-like-concert with big posters and all that.

But for us to be really ready to take part in a concert such as that, we have to undergo certain trainings or lessons to hasten our... talents (?) Hah! He offered voice lessons to all of us. And that was the best part. The whole training package would consist of 18 voice lesson sessions [it's not just a voice lesson but it's a singing and performance lesson], plus a practicum where students would be asked to perform outside-- say, Padi's Point or Gerry's Grill or Quattro, or wherever, for exposure. Our skills in playing instruments [guitar, drums, keyboards, etc.] will not be overlooked by the way. Let's see it like that voice training will serve as bonus to what we learned in playing instrums. So, when we're really ready. Then we'd go work for the concert na.

As Kuya Jeff was saying, school-slash-academics can be quite boring for crying out loud. And the activities offered would be a great way to liven things a bit. We are called "artists" na daw. haha. Quote by quote, It would be our concert. And it would be our show. Who knows if there will be talent scouts there looking for new talents. Ahem. HAHA!

Honestly, I want it so bad. But Anaw and Eka ain't sure. They are thinking twice! I mean, come on, what is to think about with an opportunity given like that? It could be the start of what we've been waiting for. It isn't all about biritan naman eh. It's about our passion, which is music. It's not about fame, it's all about the whole thought of performing. Sigh. I am so crossing my fingers na GO sila. Pati sina Mel and Kat and Kada. I mean, opportunities like this come only once and we better grab it coz I know for sure we would regret it if papakawalan pa namin to.

The downside is, we have to enroll again at MC and that would cost us 5,000php. I know it's pricey. But it's cheaper na nga since the other training packages costs 10,000php and more. I am willing to save my allowance to pay for that freaking 5,000, and asked Mom and Dad if they want to shoulder the other half [or perhaps the quarter.. haha].

Actually, Dad's already planning to enroll me at Center for Pop since last year, but since Kuya Jeff is from CFP naman, eh di GO na. May concert pa. :P

Yay. :P I'm excited. I am so praying na magkakasama kaming Encord in this. and I am so praying na masabi ko nang maayos sa lola ko pati kay mommy and daddy.

P.S.

Ma'am Jonna asked me to join this inter-division desktop web site designing competition. I'm not really sure with the competition's name basta it's webpage designing using MS Pub program. Geez, and I said YES right away without thinking about it. Haha. :) But it's all good.
