instead of talking about this past year and the lessons i've learned, i've decided to keep things as they are and just tell you guys something i've realized in the past few weeks:

i am not a music-person.

whoa! pero totoo. for one, i don't really play an instrument. i used to study piano but i'm probably still in nursery in terms of skill. i can read notes and i know most of the terms in playing the piano but i can't actually say that it's my instrument. next, whenever i listen to music or a song, i can never seem to understand the lyrics! added to that, i don't really know what the song is about! i hate it that i'm like that actually. parang ang fake ko minsan whenever i sing something pero hindi ko naman alam lyrics so nagiimbento na lang ako. tapos hindi ko pa alam ibig sabihin ng song. diba? bale, nag-fee-feeling lang talaga ako lagi. haha. oh well. lastly, i don't think music is a passion i possess. i have no preference in terms of genre for example. i don't have favorite bands, song, etc. i don't even have a CD collection or anything like that which is really reflective of my musical taste. music affects me in more good ways than one but let's just say it's not something that tends to define my life. hay.

so i found it kinda weird when my brother, ba-be, asked us to watch him in his first ever gig with his band, wee band (more on the band's name later). i unenthusiastically went to malate one night to watch him play (being the non-musician and all). my attending this gig of his kinda cemented my realization that i'm not a music person. karl roy and kapatid apparently are some heroes for most of the audience present at the venue but as for me, i don't even know what their songs were. hehe. oh well, i still came in support of my brother.
