1. What is your earliest memory in music?

People come and go but memories remain and stay forever. Way back on my
first grade on Elementary, I used to watch Dora the Explorer, Blues Clues, Hi 5,
etc. My mother always get mad at me for the reason that I faked my sleep so that
I can miss school thus I will have much time watching television all day long. One
time, she can’t take my laziness anymore, she decided to drop me out in school.
This continue for 3 consecutive years. In that long time, I can still remember that
I memorized almost all the commercial in T.V. including the theme song of my
favorite noon time drama, Daisy Siete starring Rochelle Pangilinan. And that is
where my interest in music started up until now.

2. First song you remembered enjoying. Why?

“The best part of competition is that through it we discover what we are
capable of.” Neither my mother nor my father sings on our family. I tried to ask
my mother where did I get my interest in music but she replied with a sarcastic
joke saying, “kapapanood mo ‘yan”. And I laughed awkwardly because it is true. I’m a
huge, avid and loyal fan of Sarah Asher Tua Geronimo-Guidicelli. Her pretty face,
long black hair, slim body that I looked up and wanted to be like her when I grow up
are some of the things that I admires her the best. There are so many singers in
the entertainment industry but for me she stands the most by way she hit the high
notes like it was nothing. I will play her CD in our mini DVD non-stop until I run out
of breath. I’m fond of singing Sa Iyo, I still believe in loving you, To love you more
ad Tayo with a comb in my hand while refreshing with the electric fan. But I
enjoyed singing to love you more the . I will only stop when my Untie which is our
neighbor shouts, “Hinaan mo naman ‘yan Ajoy. May natutulog sa kabilang bahay.”
And at the same time, my mother will go inside our house bringing her magic
bamboo stick to hit me because I’m disturbing other people. But that hit motivates
me that I can sing. I once joined a Barangay singing competition but sadly I loss. I
learned that it’s not my time and soon I will get my chance.

3. What is the first song you remember learning as a child?

I am a Tito’s girl. He and his wife took care of me when I was a kid because
two of my brothers got a dengue. My mother will be in the hospital while my father
will drive our jeep to sell fruits in Kadiwa. So they decided that I will stay to them
for a couple of weeks. Since they don’t have a child on their own, they took special
care for me. My uncle always hums a song whenever he chopped woods. I first got
familiar with the song Ako ay may lobo while he demonstrates it with action. Later
on he also taught me the song bahay kubo, leron-leron sinta and many more.
