Last December, my tita got us front row seats for Lea Salonga's concert in Town.
before the concert
me: haaaaay i swear my dream talaga is to sing with lea. after that i can DIE.
donns: yeah anns it's like #1 on your bucket list.
ma: well i think it's achievable.
30 mins later
lea: does anyone wanna sing a duet with me for "a whole new world"?
donns and ma: GO ANNS GO
me: eh kailangan guy eh :(
lea: young, old, male, female?
me: *POSSESSED HENCEFORTH* MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
lea: are you sure?
me: OMIGOD YES!!!!!!
mommy ligaya: dapat lalaki....
i just want to say that i have never ever ever been that nervous my entire life. thus the babbling on stage (gold: TEH, CONCERT MO????) yun na ang definition ng KNEES SHAKING HANDS SHAKING THROAT CONSTRICTING NOT THINKING. i have wanted to sing with lea since i was a FETUS! my very first professional gig was to sing for lea salonga during the aliw awards. i was 11 years old then! (the picture is here: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3652791&id=524913851)
while i walked back to my seat, mommy ligaya said, "well done. that took a lot of courage :)" with a matching pat on my shoulder.
after the show, strangers came up to me and congratulated me. one grandmother hugged me and whispered, "go for your dreams."
me: .......GOD, ISTATCHOO????
the video is in two parts 'cause my camera ran out of memory, so ma snatched hers and took the other half. i'm SO HAPPY tita menchu, tin, dana, my HS teachers, and my best friends were there.
i still don't know how i lived through it to talk about it. whenever i think about i still die a little inside.
lea, THANK YOU for allowing me to share the stage with you. i have no words! you have inspired me to do well in everything from school to the stage. i will be a fan forever :)
mof: IPAGDIWANG YAN! YAYA, ANG BABOY, KATAYIN! MAGPALECHON TAYO!!!!
