i love music and singing.
mind you, i do not have a good voice. i even blame my mom for not forcing me to have a voice lessons when i young. but i love it :) even if doesn’t love me back.
i love singing while working…
i have a number of cds in the office, mostly given by mark, and since i’m lucky enough to have a speaker attached to my computer, i have the pleasure of hearing and singing my favorite songs whenever i please particularly if my boss isn’t around.
while washing the dishes…
i once read a book written by a man who observed that woman (even little girls like me) consider washing the dishes/clothes as a “sacred time” for themselves to reflect about things. i can relate… especially if it is accompanied by music.
while studying…
do you know anyone/someone who can study and concentrate and memorize his/her lessons while there’s music (or any noise for that matter) in the background? no, don’t look at me cause i am not that someone. but since for me pleasure comes more from listening and mumbling the lyrics of the songs, it overthrows the desire to study.
while inside the church (eucharistic celebration)
i consider a mass without a choir as an incomplete mass. it’s like music sooths the soul and lightens up the spirit. i even heard that singing is like praying twice so i gladly sing my heart out to the lord! :)
and while walking…
oh, i must admit this one’s kinda crazy. but walking for me (and mark, i think), like washing the dishes/clothes is a beautiful time to think things over or even converse with god. sometimes when i’m so immersed in my thoughts, i even voice them out loud! and since at times it involves songs, siyempre i also sing :)
haha! weird noh? Oh well… i hope those who will read this will not have a second thought about me loosing my marbles :) cause i don’t, it’s just my way of muddling through the complications of life.
