I will try and make this as objective as possible

THANKSGIVING CONCERT, January 28
On My Own (redux)
This Fathomless Love
+ backup on some songs

On My Own was an unexpected hit last night. It completely overshadowed the second song, which wasn't really my intention, but yeah...it kind of sort of really did. XD My mom told me that she didn't dare exhale when I was singing the song because she was afraid she wouldn't hear me (oh parents); the officemates that she invited over kept on saying daw that it was good in between the song but she couldn't comment because of said refusal to exhale. XD There were four rounds of applauses, three of which were during the song and the last when it finally ended.

Unbelievable. And to think that I first practiced the song the day before the concert. Just. Unbelievable.

But of all the kudos I got for the song, this was the one that totally blew me away: an usher for the event came to me and said that she told her kids that if ever they learned how to sing, they'd want them to sing like me (WHAT?!), plus she and her kids look forward to Sundays that they see I'm the worship leader (WHAT?!) and she particularly loves the way I sing Hosanna (WHAT?!). I think I looked absolutely dumbfounded when she was telling me these things. I remember saying (and stuttering) thank you and that it's good that her kids look forward to Sunday worship etc etc, but...well, you get the point.

The video recording of the song was surprisingly bearable (and here I become hard on myself). I just wish I had pronounced some of the words clearer. But given that I was only able to practice that song this Thursday and pull off a reaction like that was very satisfying. XD

The reality of it however, was that people remembered that song and not the one that came after (which was, the song that I had to practice for two months XD). Mama said the second song was anti-climactic. XD I tried doing it differently during my first few practices, which yielded to horrible results. I had no choice to stick to the way it was sung.

So there you have it! Moratorium muna sa mga raket, please.

Oh, and tomorrow I have to sing the second song on all four services. I will be dedzzzzzzzzzzz.
