I don't remember when I started singing. I guess I always sang during mass every week as part of worship. But I remember when I first sang in a choir. In my opinion, it was the best Joy to the World I have ever heard. (Hi Jaders!) That was followed by the Tagalog version of Twelve Days of Christmas by Sampa Sarap. And then of course Elex got into the PASKORUS finals with Diwa ng Pasko and Limang Dipang Tao. When I heard about the AwiTan during Engineering Week, I was excited to represent my sexy org. I sang for CURSOR in two Eng'g Weeks and I loved it (Awitan 03 in Filipiniana, Awitan 04 with santa hats). Even though practices were hard and frustrating at times, I loved learning the songs (Heto na Naman, Limang Dipang Tao, Santa Baby, and When I Fall in Love.) I'd always say that my voice is too weak for a solo (which is true), but I really like singing with other people more. I love it when our voices start blending and the song takes shape. I find strength in my voice when I sing with a choir.
On the other hand, my cousin, Ate Mitzi, doesn't need a choir to belt out tunes. She's loved singing ever since and she's a very very very good singer. She belongs to the University of the Philippines Medicine Choir (choir in red), a choir composed of full-time medical students (whoa! 
The UP MedChoir will be having their Coming Home Concert on June 26, Sunday at the PhilAm Auditorium along United Nations Avenue. I really recommend that you come, because the UP MedChoir is excellent onstage. You'll enjoy the show, I promise. Just send a message to me if you want to buy tickets so I can tell Ate Mitzi.
Hope to see you on the 26th!
