...dizzy, dizzy, dizzy...

--- my "interaction" with the libera boys (tom cully, josh madine, daniel fontannaz, stefan leadbeater & michael horncastle) happened after sept. 23rd whereupon after ages of finding thomas cully, there he was - collaborating with a "filipino musician/composer by the name of norman alcala from san pedro laguna. i made a request to be friends of these 2 gentlemen in the hope that finally, i will have the chance to "talk" and communicate with even just one boy. but two, three, four already came as a bonus...and it did happen.

---we communicated through posts, either written down on norman or "tom's" wall. at one point, 3 or 4 boys were simultaneously "talking" to us. it was unbelievable!

THE MEETING:

---apparently, the "boys" were so impressed with norman's "works" that they brought it to st. philips, had robert prizeman hear it and immediately scheduled an audience with norman on facebook. wow! 'the' robert prizeman....but the anticipated sunday didn't go as planned. "prizeman" had excuses on the choir's forthcoming tour so he resheduled the meeting on a later date.

THE CONVOS:

---three boys took part in our conversation (amazingly, they were still praises for norman's works/piano cover) . nothing serious, it was the typical conversation of young kids. we took part (my friend from the north), was properly acknowleged by madine, horncastle and fontannaz. the conversations didn't last long but it left so much memories and awe - again, it was too good to be true...

THE POSTS:

---here are some texts/posts taken from norman's page (apparently from tom c. & josh m.)

Norman Alcala Tom, received the file this morning. Sorry if it took me this long to reply. Man, it runs a bit too long, don't you think? 7:37 is a bit too long, I'm thinking we should ax the last melody and just fade it out. Tell me what you think after you get this, ok?

Norman Alcala Received a package via courier today pastmarked "Croydon, United Kingdom". Thomas Aaron Cully! I told you not to send it, right? But you still did! I really don't know what to say, so listen and listen good. I'm just going to say it once.....THANK YOU! It's a little big, and the hood is HUGE! Actually, take off the hoo...d and it looks exactly like what we wear every Sunday at church. Whatever did you wear under these things. its like an oven!

Josh Madine Still online, eh? Can't sleep, going to be real busy after school today. The soldier kit is wicked, but I don't like the night-shirts much. They ride up without you noticing!

---the above posts didn't come from tom & josh. they were just the imaginary "conversations" of norman to himself....


---i had sleepless nights during the convos among these kids, sometimes finding me awake until the early hours of mornings because of the 7-hour difference. and "tom" would be online on the chat as early as 6 or 7 am. there was so much hype. my friend from the north was the most disappointed one. among us, she had interacted with "tom" for the longest time, even had his 8-yr old son interacted with "tom" on the chatbox.

---up until tonight as i write this blog, i still have lack of sleep from those 2 weeks of stupidity. anticipating "tom" going online, josh replying to my query, of how stefan addressed me as "auntie", and the pride of knowing each and every libera boy has already read my blog. sad, sad, sad. and these were all too good to be true....

***coming up "the robe"...
