...meeting new friends... (two)

>>>as i was savoring every conversation on TAC's wall, i couldn't help but notice names like - t m a, m z, t a and of course EK. there's one name which i cannot write down as of this time since this person is on a very special project and i don't want to jeopardize this opportunity given to this person. however, my closeness to the above names led me to another surprising opportunity which nearly left me fell off my seat.

>>>as i was reading TAC'S and the rest of the gang's conversations, pop came the sunshine boy!!! oh my goodness, this was clearly a bonus because i didn't expect another libera star to join in. and i was touched because it dispelled rumors that the 2 were having some kind of a rivalry since their younger days and look where they are now - at TAC's place discussing one thing they both love - music. and they're friends! how nice. 2 libera stars in one deep conversation. now, i'm imagining the two to be singing "going home", hah hah

>>>kaye is from the north where the pine trees grow, the best ube halaya from the good shepherd and the best cinnamon bread from star cafe, the mesmerizing market, where i'm always left without extra money because i literally horde veggies, trinkets, even dish plants. i won't say you have the best SM because yours doesn't have aircon, beh! hah hah for whatever miracle the heavens bestowed on this woman, she is THIS CLOSE to TAC. or maybe both have good vibrations, with kaye not abusing TAC's kindness and generosity on whatever thing he wants to talk about. in short, there are no holds barred when the 2 starts conversing with each other. there is no major-major hypocrisy between the two. and i like that. and kaye, the good person she is, unselfishly shares TAC with me. just like EK. we're all cully fans.

>>>at one point in their conversations, i asked sunshine boy about his solo song which my husband insisted was irish (how can i keep from singing). and his reply to me was, it wasn't & that it was a christian hymn. and that i told him it was my message tone on my celfone, and he thanked me. as ever polite he is.. and i had to slap my face, pinched my skin if i was just dreaming because how in heaven's name was i interacting with the 2 stars of libera?? hah hah and it wasn't a dream at all!

>>>simmer down...... i always tell myself, no big deal. TAC's comment to me was taken away on yoodoomusic page. his "thank you xx" meant so much to me then. now, with the unselfish act of my angels from canada and baguio, here i am on cully's page.

>>>i wrote this blog not to flaunt or be proud of anything. i will forever be a fan. nothing is ever more precious than those pictures, autographs and an interaction with a person with so much talent for music. my opportunity to interact with these boys came at a time when i met new friends who also shared the same passion for libera music.

>>> tomorrow, i can be reading robert prizeman or andy winter's facebook posts? nah, that's already wishing for the stars & the moon! who knows.....

...patience is truly a virtue... (one)

>>>i've been wanting to start my blog after sept. 23rd but i was hesitant to do so. either this will yield good results or might plunge me back again to deep depression, or should i say, trouble.. it has been more than 3 months since my being a fan of libera has died down - after that squabble with the fanatics, i pondered & decided to lie low on libera matters for a while. my posts were empty, i did games to my heart's content. i set aside my libera CD and welcomed back andrea bocelli in the car (with a smirk on his face, i suppose). i wasn't the real me, something was missing - i miss those little voices hitting the high notes. i miss the white robes, i miss the DVD, i miss tom cully's "ave virgo"...i miss libera!

>>>so one morning i played "eternal". i almost choked listening to cully, horncastle, connery, madine so i said to myself i can't run from this group! they're hounding me with their voices! then later, i played leiden and there's the familiar "hello, i'm josh & we're called libera......" i was starting to become whole again. i told bocelli "sorry, andrea, you have to rest again, libera's back" (and i imagined the smirk on bocelli's face again, hi hi hi)..

>>>my third "angel" (let's call her the canadian angel), appeared in myspace. she sent me messages which i replied back. we were both thomas cully fans. we shared the same passion for libera music but tom c. was always on our top list. eventually, she showed up on my FB since i wasn't a regular myspace user. we hit it off rightaway. and now she's not just an angel, she has become a friend.

>>>in the course of our conversations, she offered me to check on 'the heart of libera' if i could request him to add me. i told her it has been depressing from way back since i was already blocked by this boy. and i've learned my lesson the hard way. i've been through hell & back trying to associate with heart of libera and all yielded negative results - i was blocked and even banned from a site where i found him. i cried buckets and ate dust & dirt - all because of this boy.

>>>with much prodding (and prayers from my end), the 23rd of sept. was a memorable date. canadian angel flooded my wall with messages that sent me to high heavens - heart of libera is now my friend on FB!!! i couldn't believe my eyes when i went to his page, his wall - it was him talking! it's the real him. the heart of libera was just a screen away from me, rather a click away from me. my husband shared with my happiness. he saw me during the dark times when he'd ask how was i doing with my libera friends and i would just reply with a dry "fine". and he noticed too the sudden change of CD in the car - bocelli was screaming his lungs out when it used to be libera, libera playing from the house to the mall.

>>>now i'm being myself again. and thanks to my canadian angel who shared her idol with me. she knew i was a fan. she knew the pain i went through and she understood how much i missed my idol. thank you, EK. just like my old friends at st. philips circle, i will value our friendship, all because of one music and one boy - thomas aaron cully...

*******
i said "3rd" angel because my 1st angel is jon de castro - libera360 administrator/creator. jon has always understood my points of view and opinions no matter how hot & feisty i was at the 360 SB. he is now a friend on FB including mom, milagros and sister, koji.

my 2nd angel is joel andaya. joel was the main man's (roberto de ocampo) contact during libera's concert here last april. he worked so hard to sell tickets from fans from luzon, visayas and maybe mindanao to fill the seats of the RCBC auditorium. he met up with all of us to personally give our tickets (at one point even paying for them with his own money from his pocket). he gave my family good seats where he assured me i could clearly see josh's moles and hear stefan scream. i did, and it was the best times of my life!

and now my 3rd angel from canada, who unselfishly shared TAC with me.

>>>my thanks to these 3 wonderful "angels" which made me love libera more..
