Do I really need to be the next Gary V.?

Its very hard to put feelings into words.
If only they had vocaularies, and they knew how to spell.

Yesterday, i sang two of my favorite songs: "How did you Know?" and "Wait Forever." They were both popularized by Gary V, no less.
But little do the public know that the composer and arranger of those songs is a Bosconian. A former Aspirant in the Salesian Seminary, at that. His name: Jude Gitamondoc. I wouldnt want to brag, but i could be the luckiest Gary V. fan out there who was able to sing those two songs with him on the keyboards.

I was in seventh heaven. (see how words could not, even by an inch, measure up to what the heart says?)

He was here yesterday, giving a Creativity Seminar to the Aspirants. After lunch break, Fr. Andy and Fr. Nioret introduced me to him, and gave me the privilege of singing with him. Of course i needed to be modest, so i made up excuses and everything, but deep inside, i was jumping for joy!
So we dashed into the sems' refectory and in no time, were belting out Gary's songs.
I felt like Josh Groban in a mini concert!

Not until i received a pat at the back, with the words: "iwawala mo pa yang bokasyon mo dyan!"
Oh, Kuya Donnie. Thanks for the wake up call!

Then i was back on the ground.
Fun. Never to be forgotten.
