100 while singing on a videoke!!!
Who would have thought that in my lifetime I would score a 100 on a videoke machine? I know that you may be suddenly double-taking now, making sure that that author of the post you are reading is indeed me, rest assured yes, it is me, and though I have no proof to show you, what I have is a witness, (my very beautiful and lovely gf, Tere) and the immense feeling of satisfaction that I have hurdled one of the tasks I have listed as next-to-impossible. Hehehe . The feeling up to now is so vivid so let me share it with you.Tere and I had to go to Trinoma as I wanted to look for a duffel bag to replace my worn-out yet very trusty bag (all JPIANs out there who had been to planning sem with me will surely know this bag, it’s the blue duffel bag with the Goodyear logo imprinted on it) and after looking around for hours I asked her if she wanted to go to Timezone just to enjoy ourselves and check out whether one of the videoke stalls wee still free of occupants as it was only 11 am. Tere immediately liked the idea and we rushed to Timezone. I loaded our powercards and she went to the only unoccupied booth left (boy were we lucky!) So I went inside and started browsing thru the songlists. Knowing that we could make complete fool of ourselves since we were the only persons in the room and although others can perhaps hear a little and look at us from the outside, we didn’t care, this was going to be our moment to sing as if no one was listening and watching!
I can’t actually remember the first song I chose since we sang almost ten each but what I do remember is that I was surprised that I actually got 93 on my first song. It was a good sign already. Tere had her turn then I had the mike back, I chose a song that I felt I could sing and I chose “Minsan Lang kitang iibigin”. Still wary that my out-of-tune voice might be heard outside, I started softly but in the middle of it realizing that the person from the other room was as bad as I was (and his voice was definitely louder) I raised my singing a notch higher, undisturbed by other people peering at our booth checking if it was free. After singing it and then the familiar tune of the grade coming up I was so surprised to see that I scored the 100! Yippee!! I did the almost-impossible! (di ba Roma? Hehehe)
So feeling empowered by the 100 I got, tere belted her best when she sang “Unwritten” afterwards and then she scored a 100 also! Yahoo! By this time, I felt either the acoustics of the booth were so good that we were finally singing in tune or that the machine had a faulty scoring system (which, for those who know the both of us, might think of this as the more realistic reason) but we didn’t mind that. As I told you, this was our moment to shine, feeling more confident and enjoying more than ever we continued on our singing and even sang a duet (which if I remembered it right was peter cetera and cher’s after all was scored at around 92.). We continued on singing for an hour or so until our powercard load ran out, and I’m proud to say that there wasn’t a song I scored lower than 92 (which either confirms that the acoustics were really good or the scoring was really faulty, but come on, give it to me just this once, believe that the acoustics were just really good)
So that’s how we spent our date yesterday, eating , looking around, singing our hearts out, and still falling madly in love with each other. I wouldn’t have thought of a more perfect Saturday than that… well come to think of it, almost every Saturday is perfect when I spend it falling in love with Tere. Di ba be? Hehehe, cheesy!
P.S. By this time you may be thinking that the 100 story was just something to catch people’s attention so I can brag about my love for Tere and that it might be a product of my imagination , but it is indeed true and that for just this time believe that I really got a 100 singing a song! Woohoo!!! Hehehe.
