Each and everyone of us varies from the different assets we carry in our own selves. It could be good, better or best or it could also be bad, worse or worst. It depends on how we see things in ourselves. Well if you ask me, some of my friends say that my best asset are my eyes, some say my face, but there is one asset in me that I love the most. You could say that too if I tell you! I'm just kidding. Anyways, my best asset is the talent that God has given me. Singing. Yes, singing. It's been my passion for years. Even though I am not that good of a singer and I get shy performing in front of many people, but I really love singing. I really love to sing. I can reach high notes (but not very high notes) and I can reach low notes (but not very low notes).
I love singing because in my own experience, when I sing, I feel like I'm always full. I'm not hungry or anything. I'm not looking for food, etc. It's like singing is my food or at the same time my medicine. When I get bored, I learn some new songs or I sing my favorite songs and make records of those songs. Sometimes, I get crazy and say to myself "What if I become a singer right now? Will I quit school? What will I do? Oh my gosh! I'm so excited to sing!" and then I go "Oh no no, that's impossible. Totally impossible." and then I cry every night worrying about what's in store for me in the future. Hahahaha. Not cool!
My father is a very good singer and I think he shared his gene to me. The gene that can make me good at singing too. Hahaha. Actually, my sister is a very good singer too. We started singing when we were like 3 years old and the song that we used to sing back then was "Ang palaka". We made a record of that song with the help of our father of course and up until now, we still listen to it over and over again and it's really really funny but at the same time it's cute. She always copy what I do when we were little kids. When I sing a song, she sings the same song. When I recite a poem, she recites the same poem, etc., etc. My father never knew that I can sing a whole piece of song until back when I was a 4 year old, I sang "You'll never walk alone" that was revived by Regine Velasquez. I tried my best to sing it at school but judging by my age, for me being out of tune is normal right?
So, years later, my sister and I didn't expect us to improve but we did. We made music videos of our favorite songs and posted it in facebook and our "fans" liked it. After that, we were like "Whoa! Didn't see that coming." 'cause there were so many likes and so many comments. We're really grateful. We also joined a singing contest last year. That was held at the gym in our village and the title was "The Singing Dreamers". I am so thankful to God that my sister and I made it to the top 4 finalists and I was placed as champion and my sister was placed as 3rd runner-up. The 2nd singing contest that I joined last year also was "The Search for Iligan Star" that was held at the city plaza. Again I am so thankful to God that I made it to the top 4 finalists and I was placed as the 2nd runner-up. You can also check out my videos in my youtube channel! :D Anyways, that was really an amazing experience for me and it feels so good because I get to share my talent to the people that I know and don't know. And I wish this career/asset will continue in the future because one of my dreams is to become a professional singer and to be able to meet my favorite singer/actress Demi Lovato.
In order for me to become a professional singer is 1st, to have discipline on my voice, 2nd is I have to learn how to showcase my talent, 3rd is I have to remove the nervousness and the shyness that I always feel when I sing, 4th is to be confident (but not too confident) in front of many people and last but not the least, I have to practice and practice and practice. A lot.
But for the mean time, I'll just have to wait for my call to come. I mean, I'll concentrate 1st on my studies before anything else and I'll always remember that opportunities are everywhere so I don't have to worry about everything, I'll pray to God always and I'll just learn how to be patient because patience is strongly a virtue.
