I love to sing. I've been singing ever since I can remember. My most fun, memorable, and fulfilling life experiences have always been related to my singing. To music. A few years ago, I landed a corporate job. No orgs, no creative outlet, just a regular 9-6 job. However, I started to sing in open mic events at the side just for fun. Because of this, I rediscovered my love for performing and I even started to sing my original songs! 

I still remember the joy of just being able to perform in front of the people I care about. The joy of sharing my stories to both my loved ones and the strangers who were watching. Right now, I just want to continue that. To continue singing. To continue sharing and connecting. To continue feeling alive. 

I can also honestly say that music has been saving me ever since I can remember. Music has always been there to comfort me and keep me going. 

So there! Dami ko nang nasabi sa spiel hahahah. Ang gusto ko lang din sabihin, here's an original song I've written a few months back. I wanted to write something positive, something that would lighten up the mood sa isang nakakapagod at nakakainis (minsan) na buhay. So yah, sa wakas, properly recorded na hahah. Please feel free to send any feedback hihi. :)

Salamat kay Hans Canteras for producing the track, galing mo huhu. Guys, kung kailangan niyo ng kahit anong tulong with music production, I recommend Hans! Check out his page! :)

Salamat kina Ingrid Espinosa and Salin Baliton for the cover art. I really really love it!!! Love you two! 

To my friends na kinulit ko nung humihingi pa lang ako ng feedback habang inaayos namin 'yung tunog, salamat sa honesty and patience. Sana 'di kayo magsawa huhu. 

To you, salamat sa suporta. Salamat na nagbabasa ka hanggang sa parteng 'to. Simula pa lang 'to, marami pa kong pagdaraanan. Pero salamat na nariyan ka. :)

P.S. Downloadable 'yung track kung trip niyo lang naman! HAHAH.

Lyrics:
Simulan natin sa yugtong wala pang bida
Maingay, maraming taong nag-uunahang kilalanin kung sino siya
Ituloy natin sa sunod na pahina
Makulay, lumapit na ang hinihintay na pumasok sa eksena

Refrain:
Ikaw pala
Ang bidang...

Chorus:
Maglalaro sa isipan kong puno ng pa'no at ng bakit
'Di ko mawari kung ano na ang mangyayari dahil
Ikaw ang kuwentong kay sarap hanap-hanapin at basahin
'Di akalaing nariyan ka ngunit 'di ko pa rin maamin

Verse 2:
Nilagyan natin ng mga istoryang atin lang
Mabagal, dahan-dahang sinusulat bigkas ng mga mata

Refrain:
Ikaw pala
Ang bidang...

Chorus:
Maglalaro sa isipan kong puno ng pa'no at ng bakit
'Di ko mawari kung ano na ang mangyayari dahil

Bridge:
'Di ko masabi kaya naisulat ko itong aking awiting
Sana'y makarating dahil ito na nga
Ilalahad ko na
Ikaw pala (4x)
Ang bidang... 

Chorus:
Maglalaro sa isipan kong puno ng pa'no at ng bakit
'Di ko mawari kung ano na ang mangyayari dahil

Naglalaro sa isipan ang sagot sa pa'no at sa bakit 
Aking nawari kung ano na ang mangyayari dahil

Ikaw ang kuwentong kay sarap hanap-hanapin at basahin
'Di akalaing nariyan ka 
Nakikinig ngayon sa akin

Outro:
Ikaw ang kuwentong kay sarap hanap-hanapin at basahin
'Di akalaing ('di akalaing) 
Nariyan ka (nariyan ka) 
Nakikinig ngayon sa akin
