Epic Fail

All right, the whole world knows I'm a frustrated singer, or front act. I can't seem to get out of my self-doubts. Nerves just eat me alive.


Well, I guess, when you are inspired, some magic happens. That tiny bit of inspiration makes all the difference. Now I have reason for all the singing. Each song means more now, I dig the lyrics now. I find myself appreciating the song more, speaking each line like you meant it With this, the intense blood pumping is channeled to something good. It talks less of being conscious of myself, but more of getting a message across.

On the night before my cousin leaves for the US, we got ourselves a videoke machine out of desperation. Day  one of Joy's vacation, she insisted to have a karaoke night until her vacation is almost over. So here goes my mom with a bright idea, we had the singing in our house instead. We sang our hearts out the whole night until my sister punched one song she knew we really loved. She made me sing it. Before, I can't belt out those big notes, but this time, I thought of someone and all the mushy-ness in me came out. After that song, I just knew I have to record it. So here you have it. Its just that it turned out not so good, hahaha! I was all about worrying my camera not falling down from the tripod. People came back and forth, making me paranoid and flushing the mushy-ness away. So here, another fail recording. Plus, the camera was too near to the speakers of the machine, making the bass tones pound ears. Oh well, maybe when I'm in front of her, I would be able to sing this with all I have. 



Dig the lyrics, and it will touch something so delicate in your heart... Wahahah! Mushy much!


"The Last Time"


The first time I fell in love was long ago.
I didn't know how to give my love at all.
The next time I settled for what felt so close.
But without romance, you're never gonna fall.
After everything I've learned;
Now it's finally my turn.
This is the last time I'll fall... in love.
The first time we walked under that starry sky,
there was a moment when everything was clear.
I didn't need to ask or even wonder why, because each question is answered when your near.
and I'm wise enough to know when a miracle unfolds, this is the last time i'll fall in love.
Now don't hold back, just let me know.
Could i be moving much too fast or way too slow.
'Cause all of my life, I've waited for this day.
To find that once in a lifetime, this is it, I'll never be the same.
You'll never know what it's taken me to say these words. 
And now that I've said them, they could never be enough.
As far as I can see, there's only you and only me. 


This is the last time I'll fall in love.
Last time i'll fall in love.
The last time i'll fall... in love.
