'the outcast'
singing is one of my passions, aside from volleyball and badminton, so i tried out for the choir in churh, having been a member of the glee club in grade school...
NOTE:Catholic Church.
yes. my family has always been catholics, but as i grew up in a methodist school, i barely knew the songs and prayers of these people. so when i was accepted(i am a bass singer), i found out that i was to sing the next morning ALREADY. i thought nman na all we would sing was the songs we practiced that night... excited pa nga ako eh. but i found out that there are songs that we, choir members, supposedly memorized by heart.
i was so shy about what i was doing! parang i was in an alien world and the songs were languages i couldn't muster... or is it the other way around? was i treated as the alien, the outcast? sure, i was with the choir when we shopped for breakfast, when we cooked our pinamalenke's, but to them i was a totally different specimen...
my passion for music would never die, but with this, i think it faltered a little...
