The Wedding Singer

I am not really a gifted singer nor a talented musician. I just simply know how to sing and play some musical instruments. But I always find myself singing during weddings.

The first time I became a wedding singer was during my eldest sister's wedding. I was twelve years old and even though they wanted to include me in the entourage, they couldn't because I was too young to be a bridesmaid and too old to be a flower girl. So I ended up being a wedding singer instead.

Then sometime three or four years ago, a churchmate of mine, Kuya Ariston was wed and I was asked be the wedding singer for the second time. And even though I wasn't the singer for my Manang's wedding last July 31 (because they hired a professional band to shower the celebration with songs), I was asked to render a special song number with my friend Jay. And after the reception, we unexpectedly grabbed the microphones and reigned on the stage and had a sort of a 'mini concert'.

And just last August 31, another churchmate Edwin had his wedding and again I was asked to sing. To date, I think it was the funniest singing experience in a wedding I've had because it was like our first and last practice. With Kuya Epay as the guitarist, Jojo as the bassist, and Jay as my partner, we only practiced three songs for the wedding. We knew three songs are not enough for the ceremony but we couldn't find any other song. So when the ceremony was held, we panicked and chose songs on the spot. We ended up singing worship songs for the ceremony. Hahaha...

Here is a video of the ceremony:

A Letter to Elisha Joelle Samarah

My Dearest Elisha, I promised myself that I would write about this day since the very first time I saw your cute tiny face at the Intensive Care Unit in the hospital where I delivered you. I told myself that I would chronicle the events so you would understand how great God is in your life and how you have come to be a miracle in your father and I's lives. However, I cannot tell you everything now for the story of how you came to be is too long for you to understand at the moment and too difficult for me to explain in writing. But, I'm going to try nonetheless, soon, little by little, and hopefully, the chronicles would be complete when you are old enough to comprehend. For now, let me just remember the sweetest yet the most difficult day of my life.  Your father and I did not expect you to come at that point in our lives. I, especially, wanted to achieve a lot of things and did not even think about settling down anytime soon. When I found out that I was pre...

Romans 1 is Genesis 3 Explained

Hello again! This blog became dormant again and now it’s going to have a reboot. I know that the last time this blog had a reboot way back two years ago I promised to write more often. Sorry guys, I wasn’t able to follow through with this promise due to busyness and just simply the distractions of life. This time I’m not going to promise anymore but what I’m going to do for sure is to try to write more often. Though I know, the entries would only come if and only if I cannot fight the urge to write. So here you go, I’m writing again. For those who visited this blog for the very first time, let me tell you that this actually started back when I was still in college. Back then, it was a very personal space and the things that were shared here were very personal things. So, if you try to go through the archive, you might find some things that are quite immature and some thoughts that I may or may not necessarily believe right at this moment. This was the very reason why I decide...

Dead to Sin

I have a confession to make. I sin.  That's hardly a surprise actually. All of us sin. However, the degree upon which we feel the shame and the guilt of sin vary from one person to another. Others feel a guilt so terrible that they condemn themselves while others feel sorry for what they have done but are able to shrug it off at the next moment. Probably for the most of us, we don't even realize that we have sinned.  I have learned nonetheless that there are some sins that you can easily avoid while there are others that make you struggle so hard you almost always want to give up. The sins that can be seen externally most often are the ones that are easy to overcome. But the sins that lurk in your heart -- the ones that other people wouldn't even know that you have (and most often than not you don't even know you have) -- are the ones that would make you think twice about your character. Then, one day, a thing or a person or a circumstance, causes that sin hi...
