little did i know, my daughter, carmela, also created her blog and as i peeped from where i was, i thought i saw pictures of libera! right this very moment, i'm using my netbook (lilli) while she's busy with her laptop (bibi). off i went to read it - it was funny... i would have wanted her to edit it again but i gave her the go signal to just leave it as is.
she writes well, having a degree of mass communication major in broadcast journalism from the st. paul university at gilmore, quezon city. i wished i'd write the way she would but i'm just stuck with my 'elementary english' - oh well, at least my readers understand me perfectly well.
carmela has never been a fan of libera (sorry about that). of course, as she grew up she adored the music of the 90s - Nsync, backstreet boys, 98 degrees, spice girls, britney spears, christina aguilera and a lot more. she was not into choir-type music/songs. so in 2009, when i was first introduced to libera music & we played eternal's CD in the car, she would request to just turn on the radio instead, hah hah but never complained if i played my libera CDs inside the house.
my love for choir-type music dates back to the early 80s when during sunday mass, my husband & i would take our seats just across to where the choirboys were - they were called the "tiples de santo domingo". and this was at the santo domingo church, which is just near our place. their voices were heavenly! i would be honest to tell you i'd always look forward to sunday masses just to listen to them - the mass was pretty boring (sorry again for this) but tiples made it alive for the churchgoers to savor sunday masses. their rendition of songs i was familiar with in my school (sta. catalina college) during my elementary & highschool years made it even more special.
in 2009, carmela was still with businessworld (a business newspaper). she gave us our tickets for the first libera concert at the PICC, BW being a major sponsor of said concert. thus started my "rock & roll" experience with libera. she has been with me through my ups & downs - even reminding me to 'slow down' on being a fan, esp during those times in november last year when i was duped into believing i was in actual conversation with the boys.
but gladly & thankfully, she has been with me during the 2 M & G's . april 2010 & 2 weeks back at the SM d'block. she may not like some of my libera friends whom i met on the internet/facebook. she gamely went up the stage to take photos on my behalf and volunteered to look after our things (bag, CDs, posters, etc.) which were left on the empty seats while i walked around to take more pictures & look for AW. and thoughtfully reminded me to turn on the "record button" of my corby before i focused it on the boys. in my excitement, i did not.. :(
and just as i end this blog early morning today, i realized how she has also shown support for my love with my favorite choirboys. she likes cassius so much!! she has openly expressed her fondness for little cassius during last april's concert when this munchkin went on meowing to the delight of everyone - from television to meet & greet.
i need not say more. just go visit her blog thisisimagined.blogspot.com
