After I spent at least a whole month wishing I could get everything
over with, my uncle Cesar, who lives in California, called me up and
told me that there was a song he wanted to hear me sing. For a moment
I thought he was crazy. "I don't really sing anymore", I thought, but
didn't say anything, "I just sing as a hobby". But then it occurred
to me that he was trying to gigive me an opportunity. A few days
passed, but I didn't get the song. I tried to look it up on you-tube,
but I couldn't find it.
I called him up, but still, nothing. Then he called me with the song
in hand, and after letting me hear it, he told me to look it up on
you-tube and to sing it and record it for him. "It's so beautiful!",
I said as I heard it and began smiling. I was stunned for a moment,
he's watedall this time to tell me he wanted to help me with my
singing, and evenat the time I wanted to be a popstar he acted asif it
weremy fault I couldn't get to the top, never saying anything like,
"just send me the song and I'll show it around". But now, when he
told me those exact, same words, I set to work at once, reviewed the
song, recorded the song with my voice and sent it to him by email.
This took only a few days, but even though at first it felt as if it
was hard work, then it felt so familiar to me, recording the song.
It's been years since I've sang and recorded a song for anybody, and
if I did record a song, I would delete it, or put it on a CD and then
threw it away at the bus-stop.
But this was different.
When he got the song, he suggested that I immediately lookefor a
page in which to upload it as a demo.
I remembered subscribing to one such page during my popstar years,
but because I wasn't able to get any of my music in mp3 at the time, I
couldn't upload any demos. It was hard work, updating my account in
the page, in addition to looking for other similar pages in google,
but just yesterday I managed to upload the demo. In fact, I uploaded
2 demos, "I hope you dance", which is the song he gave me, and "More
than words", a song I learned to play on my ocarina, but also managed
to learn the lyrics for it.
I'm doing well, so far, except that I feel weird because on Sunday I
got bit by a bee on my right foot, and today as I went swimming with
my little sister, I bent one of my left toes. My right toe is swollen
and it was leaking earlier, and the toe I bent still hurts a little,
but other than that I'm Ok.
As far as Steven goes, I still have a chance with him, but he hasn't
really told me that he's forgiven me yet, he says there's not much to
forgive, I think maybe he's just waiting for me to get home to give me
a definite answer, so I'm not too worried about it for now, I have
greater things to worry about, such as my next demos and how am I
going to get to California, and if I do make it to Holliwood next
year, am I going to have to stay there or would I be able to come back
to Texas?
Well, I don't know yet, but I sure hope that this time, nothing or
no one tries to stop me from chasing that very old dream that's come
back to live once again.
Note: I've always wanted to be a singer, ever since I was a little
girl. I remember running out of a boring class, down to the music
room, and how everyone applauded me after a performance, weather it
was a choir performance, or just singing by myself, a solo.
I just hope that now, there's no stoppings, weather because of
health, or my family, or anything.
More updates later
H I L. Or should I say, the singing canary? That's my casting name
for my new page, God bless the internet!
