MY SO-CALLED MUSICIAN FETISH

I've always been into music. Had piano lessons when I was 9. Guitar  lessons when I was 12. I can play the flute  (though yung bamboo lang, hehehe!). I can sing as well.

My interest for music started when I was 12. One of our neighbors belong to a family of musicians. He's a pianist and a singer. As in super crush ko s'ya back then. I remember going to their house and seeing different kinds of musical instruments. Naturally, I was inspired to learn one too and that's how I got to playing the guitar. But then, patigil-tigil ako.

Back in college, I was bringing my guitar sa boarding house. I've met a lot of "great" musicians. So, once again, na-revive yung passion ko for music.

There was even a time I played the guitar sa musical presentation ng group ko sa Hum II. That was really heaven for me coz pinuri pa ako ng prof namin in front of the class. Eh di syempre super kilig ang lola mo kase super crush ko si Sir back then, hehe! I was even supposed to sing acapella (solo) then but i declined sa mga groupmates ko. Lam mo na, may malisya kase ako kay Sir kaya sobrang conscious ako nun, lol!

But lemme tell you that I've never thought of myself as good. Yes, I can play the guitar but I don't think I'm that good. So when people tell me that I am, parang nahihiya ako na ewan. But of course, sobrang flattered ako syempre, hehe!

So eto na…After graduating from college, mga musicians ang mga nagiging kafafahan ko (though di naman lahat). So far, 1 lead guitarist and 2 bassists ang record ko. Lam mo yung feeling na pag nakikita ko silang tumutugtog, gusto ko na silang pakasalan, lol! Tapos when we're at home, jamming kami (got 2 guitars kase). Sarap ng ganung feeling that we're playing beautiful music literally and figuratively. Hay! Ang mushy ko talaga, lol!

I'm drawn to musicians. There's something about them that makes me interested with them. Is it talent? Appeal? Hell! I dunno! All I know is that I have a "MUSICIAN FETISH" in me (own term ko lang yun, lol!). I love it when I'm surrounded by people who are into music (as well as art). They inspire me to do better. The "musician" in me is yearning to come out. I wanna do more. I wanna learn more. I wanna be the best that I can be.

But for some reasons, my relationships with my musician boylets didn't work out. As if naman, nag-work out dun sa mga hindi musicians, lol! But then again, different story na yun, hehe!

Lahat sila mga drawing…mga japeyks…puro salita lang…puro mga ewan, grrr! Ay! Ang bitter! Hahaha! But wait! Lahat ng mga ex ko drawing lahat eh, hehehe! So I guess, I'm still gonna fall for a musician someday. Wish ko lang di na gitarista this time, drummer naman sana! Nyahaha! Silly me, di pa rin nadadala…Pakituktukan nga ako please, grrr!

*Kuya Henny, my friend who's currently enrolled sa classical guitar sa extension program ng U.P. College of Music asked me one time if I'm into musicians…Of course, I said yes, lol! Then, I should've pursued my plan to enrol in classical guitar daw sana. Magpakasawa daw ako sa mga musicians especially sa mga guitarists, lol! Oh my! Not again! Hahaha!*

*At eto pa…My friend, Eric, told me na mag-ingat daw ako sa mga bassists. Kakaiba daw kase mga personality nila. Duh! He's a bassist himself kaya! Sabay sabi ba namang clarinet na raw instrument n'ya ngayon. Toinks! Lol!*

*Weakness is the more apt term to use for this entry though, not fetish. Oh well, whatever! Fetish sounds kinkier, lol!*
