I won’t let the ACC crap stop me from working on my dream
As you may already know, I’m back to school again, back to that old, useless, normal life where I can make no progress.
School started crappy, as always, I just found out that I'm going to have a notetaker instead of a reader, What, they think I can't write? I found out that I won't even be allowed to speak in class except to the notetaker, make noise, move around, nothing. All I have to do is sit down and do nothing, and that really gets on me. The notetaker also told me that she wanted to wait for my ride with me at the bus-stop, so I won't even be allowed to sing or play at the bus-stop, except for her. She's really creepy, but I still can't wait to be able to show her the CD of "Bag of Dreams" when it's done so that she knows who I am.
I also know that I'll have 2 math classes, so people laugh at me because I don't like math.
But even though last week it did get me a little behind in my music stuff and in getting ready to record “Bag of dreams”, I didn’t let the ACC crap get me down, and kept on calling Lori at the studio to find out when they’re going to be available to record the song, and finally she said that maybe on Tuesday. The song’s a little bit late so it might make it harder to promote, but mom already let her friends know about the track, and Cokie told Mrs. Jane about it too. I might have to go see her after the song is done to give her a coppy so that she can help promote the song at the school.
Last Wednesday, I also called Kickbut coffee, a coffeeshop downtown where they do open-mike nights, and they told me to go over there on Wednesday to sign up for audition to see if maybe someone would let me sing in their band. But that’s gonna take a whole lot of work, and maybe I’ll have to do many concerts with the help of a CD before I can find a band.
Also, Steven and I are still doing great. We find time for the both of us at night before he goes to bed, and that’s also what keeps me holding on strong, that “bag of Dreams” he continuss to build deep within me.
That’s all the updates for now, More of this next week, hopefully I’ll have “Bag of Dreams” done.

Song "Bag of Dreams" is popping its way to the top
Song “Bag of Dreams” is popping its way to the top
Today’s been my first scheduled rehearsal for “Bag of Dreams”, and it came out better than planned. Lory, the lady from the studio, and a musician from her band, came here bringing a guitar to practice the song, and it came out just beautiful. I sang the song for them a few times, but since he’s an excellent musician, apparently, he was able to pick the cords up pretty quick.
There were a few modifications and adjustments that we have made for the song, but it was as if the song was speaking up for itself.
The song kept it’s upbeat pop sound,while still being a very sweet, touchy song.
I disagreed with adding an extra part to the chorus, but the way the song went with that and a few other little changes was just swimmingly.
Tomorrow Lory will call to set up a time when we can meet at the studio to add a few more things such as a beet of drumtrack and a better sound, and then we will finally record it, as it is going so well.
When we were done, I showed the demo to my mom, my uncle, and Cokie, and they all said it sounds great, so I guess it does, but I know this song will most likely help me get there.
Cokie just told me a few minutes ago that as it is, it sounds like a number 1 hit!
Well, gotta go show it to Steven and then tomorrow I’m going to wait for Lory to call so we can set up a time to work on this song.

The future popstar! Would “Bag of Dreams really get me there?

Disaster and Chaos
Disaster and chaos
I am in a secret rage right now!, yet I am calm.
Well, I went to Flugerville this morning, supposedly to audition, but as soon as I got there, a lady came out of a bar saying that they weren’t open yet, and that they weren’t hiring anymore. I guess that meant that they were auditioning when the announcement came on the web, but either they’ve already found the person they were looking for, or the website had the wrong address. That is really sad, more than $70 down the drain. The driver felt sorry for me and told me that his wife can look that up on the web and maybe she might be able to find me a job. How ridiculous!
I am trying to pursue my dream of becoming an artist, and all I get is people feeling sorry for me? No way! I’m not quitting again!
This Saturday, the piano player will come over to practice the songs, hopefully after him and Lory hear me sing, I may have a better chance of at least beginning to get into the field.
Please pray for me!
Thanks. H I L, hopelessly unemployed?, no! I want to make a difference and make something good out of myself!

Song “Bag of Dreams” will not be released until September 13 or later
The song “Bag of Dreams”, which was supposed to be released sometime this week, has been postponed until sometime in mid September. The lady from the studio had called this afternoon, and she said that they couldn’t do it this week. She said she was going to call a piano player and they’re coming here this Saturday to work on the song, and then the piano player would go to the studio and record the track for me, so when I go to the studio all I’d have to do is sing it. I was a little disappointed about that because she first told me that they would add some drum track to make it have kind of a pop rhythm, since that’s what I planned from the beginning when I recorded the song on my recorder with my keyboard, but I’ll sit here and show her and the piano player that they’re working with real talent here, and I don’t want my voice to go to waste like it has been for most of my life.
And speaking of talent, I just sang the song for her over the phone for her today, and she said “wow!” just “wow!”, nothing else. I bet that when she hears it with me in person, not only will she say wow, but also find a way to stop the waste and actually start something and move my music forward.
I’m trying to make sure I start working on this before school starts, but they just said they couldn’t do it that way.
I am anxious for them to come and know the actual me and my aspirations toward music.
I also found out that Steven, the love of my life, has actually decided to pay the whole monthly fee for my lessons. He’s just talked to the people at the concervatory, and they’ve agreed that he would pay for the fee as long as both the teacher and I show up for the lesson, at the appointed time. He told them a little bit about me and my music, he clearly statedthat I was very musically talent, and that I can certainly do music work very well. Steven’s also told me that when I become a star, he wants to see the real me, the real star!
That is what I’ve lost, and that is what I’m trying to get back!
With this said, my music is still on hold, but not for long.
This Thursday, when I go to audition at Flugerville, I want to show everyone over there who Claudia Porras is! I’ll start making the CD’s tomorrow so I’ll have them ready on Thursday.
Please cross your fingers for me, who knows, maybe one of those bands will accept me to sing with them!
Hopeful Claudia: The singing canary: With my honey right by my side,nobody can turn me away now.

Important note: Bag of Dreams will be promoted in this blog via voice123, and will also be in jango.com as well as other online music-promoting sites.
Yeah, you heard right, “bag of Dreams”, the best poem I’ve ever written, has now become a song and it’s just about to be recorded sometime next week. Here’s how and why my semifinalist poem “Bag of Dreams” became my new song, soon to be released.
Last Sunday, I asked Steven if he could help me write a song. Of course, he knows nothing about writing poems, led alone songs, but he had the will to help. Then he told me: “Songs are poetry!, why don’t you pick up one of your poems and turn it into a song. “That’s right”, I thought, the problem is not that I don’t have songs written, is that I can’t find music for my poems.
“how about “Bag of Dreams”?”
“Bag of Dreams” was the poem I remember the most of all my poems and I thought that since it was a good poem, it should make a good song!
Steven helped me a little with the tune and the beginning of the melody, and gave me ideas on how to create the rest of the melody and rhythm. Also, my first song “Cokie”, and the Michael Jackson song “Music and Me”, have been of great inspiration and influence to the musical part of “Bag of Dreams”.
However, I have not worked much on the song by then, and I thought it my take a long time to compose it.
I’ve talk to my teacher on Monday after my voice lesson while I was waiting for my ride to come pick me up, and asked her about songwriting, she said she doesn’t write songs, but then she asked me if I have written a song or if I’m working on one, and I told her that I was working on a song and that I already have another one recorded.
She gave me a phone number of a lady that works on a studio, and told me to call her and talk to her. I told her “Thank you” and also that I’ve already learned the song she gave me, and that I was ready for another one. She was so amazed by my willingness to work, that she kept saying that she’ll help me make it happen.
My ride came after 15 minutes after class, so I paid for my lesson and came home.
Tuesday I called the number and asked her about her studio, and she gave me an appointment on Thursday to show me around. She also asked me if I have written a song that needs to be recorded. I said I didn’t have one ready butI was working on one.
I then set to work on Bag OF Dreams at once.
Well, I went to the studio on Thursday, but while I was on my way there she called back and told me she wasn’t gonna be there so I had to call a cab home. When I was on the phone with her, I asked if I could just wait until she was back, and she told me that was not appropriate at a studio and that I had to call back some other time to make another appointment. I thought that was really crappy, but the good part about it is that I had the chance to leave my demo CD at a corner of the big gate before my cab came to bring me home.
About an hour later, she called me back, asked me some questions, wrote down my information, and offered me the chance to record my song at her studio for free. She even told me she’s going to find some musicians to play for me. So far, she projected that the song would include some piano, a little guitar, a set of drums, and possibly a touch of violin! “Wow!”, I thought and told her “thank you!”.
I am pretty sure that even a simpler arrangement that would be enough for the song because of my voice, and the way the song is set up. She told me to have the song ready by Tuesday, and then to give her a call to schedule an appointment to rehearse an record the song.
It might take some time for her to get the musicians together and have them ready for the song, but at least its ready.
After talking to her, I called my mom and told her the news. She was happy for me. Then I kept working on “Bag of Dreams”, until I had the melody and rhythm made up and arranged to go with the lyrics. I don’t know how I did it, but I realized that I didn’t have too much time to make it very complex, so I tried to make it simple.
On Friday, while Cokie went on a fieldtrip for the weekend, I sat at my keyboard all day long working on the song, took a couple of hours break, and then added the final touches.
Steven came home a little later than usual, so I managed to finish the song before he came home, which, by the way he reacted, I could tell that it’s been a great surprise for him.
Right after I finished the song and recorded some cover songs, I broke into a dance.
I also called everyone totell them about the new song, and kept dancing and singing until Steven came home.
I finally told him about the song, and he said he wanted to hear it so I sang it for him, and he got down on his knees, clapped for me, and his tone of voice changed, and then he finally stood up and gave me a big hug saying: “That’s Beautiful!”. He seemed to be on the vurge of crying, but of course, he didn’t really cry.
Then we went to the room, and it really surprised me that all he wanted to do was to cuddle close to me, he didn’t even play his game.
He was just acting so cute, kissing me over and over again, hugging me, holding me tight, telling me that I have a beautiful voice, though I don’t know if he really believes that I’ll some day become a professional artist. But what I do know is that he was really excited with my song, and I really hope it becomes a success.
I also hope that, after hearing my song, the musicians and producers might want to help me get a label or record my first professional CD.
My mom called me today and she said she loved how happy my voice sounds in the song, and she believes that it might help me catch the attention of the people at the studio and convince them that they are dealing with real talent. She added: “You were really born for it, I’m sorry I didn’t realize that before”.
More news: Upcoming concert in Flugerville near Austin coming up next Thursday at 8 A M.
Songwriter from a band is hosting an audition for a lead singer position every Thursday. I would only sing three songs there, Cokie, Bag Of Dreams, and I Hope You dance. What a perfect way to promote my songs, than with an audition concert.
Note: If I can’t make it there this Thursday, I would definitely be there next Thursday.
Fund-raising collaborations: Family and relatives have decided to help me with my upcoming projects by sending money and spreading the word to others about my music. I’m planning on saving most of the money for my trip to L A after school. If I have enough money to buy a ticket, I’m planning on going right after school before I go to Houston. This time, I won’t let my mom stop me from chasing my dreams.
I’m going to school the week after next, so I’ll try to get done with these starting projects before I go to school.
I understand that after these projects are done, I might have even more work later on, but Luckily, all my classes are gonna be in the afternoon, so that way I can have the mornings to do music work. Then next week I’m going to have to move my voice lessons to Fridays because Fridays will stil be my no-school days, though maybe I won’t sleep as much this year, who knows.
Well, that’s all for now, more news next week, I’m taking a break now because next week I will have a lot of work to do.

Our love is still strong
Our love is still strong
If I'm a little behind is because I had not internet all weekend
long, something was wrong with the connection.
This weekend, as simple as it may have been, is in a way, a spark of
our love, and a moment for Steven to show his love for me more than he
did since I almost dumped him. Those three months had apparently made
the fire of our love grow fonder, and made my prince charming even
more charming than ever, at the security that I won't leave him again.
Since I had nothing to do on Friday, I slept all day, as I do most Fridays.
When Steven came home he got on the game most of the day, and then
he put his book on at night as usual so I slept part of the night in
Cokie's room till she got home, then I went outside to practice my
song, then I sang and danced til Steven came out and brought me to to
the room.
He put me to sleep with his charms as he usually does, and then on
Saturday, we stayed up all day and had fun.
We were listening to music on you-tube, and we were singing to each
other at the same time. He almost didn't play his game that day,
instead we were saying little things to each other,and in the evening,
we went to whichwich for dinner.
Then we came back and we explored that website where we were
listening to funny messages.
I sang him a couple more songs and then he started watching a movie,
but that was all right because we had a lot of fun together.
Then Cokie came home and they were talking about a book, so I went
to her room to sleep until she went to bed, then I went outside and
sang and danced till 8 in the morning, when I went back to bed and let
Steven do his thing and put me to sleep till almost 5 in the
afternoon. We didn't do much since then, but we had an ausom weekend
together overall.
He had his headphones on while I slept that day and he tried so hard
not to wake me up with the game, and from time to time I could feel
his hand tenderly stroking my hair or rubbing my back, as if to say, I
love you.
Then I got up, ate my sandwich that I brought from Whichwich and
then started singing and dancing again until 4. Then something cool
happened, I came to the room to get my charger for my laptop because I
found out that my internet connection was working again, and
mysteriously Steven woke up, checked his clock, then suddenly turned
his book off, as if saying, "come here", then he turned around. "my
cutie", I thought, then left the charger in the living room and came
to his arms in a rush.
He held me tight and put me to sleep almost like a baby. It just
feels so right to be in his arms again, to be with him in here and to
feel him so cloce, that when I'm with him, I just forget everything
almost like I used to do during our first year.
I wake up this morning, realizing that, while my music is almost on
the nowhere, Steven's love is strong enough to keep me hanging on and
keep trying.
News: Cristy, my vocational teacher, saw in the results of a
vocational training program that indeed I was born to be a singer. I
have all the qualifications, all the requirements and prerequisits,
etc, but none of the opportunities. I recorded some new songs and
kept working on them throughout the week, but my uncle still doesn't
want me to do this, he insists that I should start composing my own
songs.
Nothing else new for now, I'll write soon,
H I L. While my music is almost down the drain, Steven and I are
sparkling once again, and leaving the odd times behind!
Wednesday, August 05, 2009
It’s not that Steven and I have money problems, in fact, him and I are doing just wonderful. But now that I have to save money because of my music, well it’s being a little hard for me.
Recently I found out that for the singing lessons, I have to pay $30 for each lesson, not per month like I thought.
I went and talked to the director of the school to see if they could find a way to help me financially, but they told me they couldn’t do that. I called my mom to tell her what happened, and she told me to ask them if I could only go twice a month and just pay half of the monthly fee, but I didn’t know if I could do that.
I told Steven about it, and he told me: “no, you’re going every week”. “But why?” ai asked him.
“because I’ll help you pay for it.” I told him “thank you”, and he added: “only if you succeed, and I want you to succeed!”
“Thanks”, I told him, smiling. “you don’t know how much this means to me”.
I called my mom back and told her about what Steven told me, and she said, “congratulations. Tell him I said thank you”.
It seems like she feels bad because she tried so hard to keep me away from chasing my dream of becoming a singer, but I’m still glad she and Steven are going to help me to pay for tuition.
Also, I had to cancel my subscription from the talent webside because of the fact that I don’t have enough money to stay there. I need to find a way to make my own funds, but I don’t know what that is yet.
Today I went to Cristy’s office and she helped me complete my resume, maybe I’ll find a job somewhere.
More news: My music is still on hold. I'm trying to find ways to create my own songs, but it just seems like I'm never gonna get there.
Well, gotta go now before Steven goes to work.

Recently I found out that for the singing lessons, I have to pay $30 for each lesson, not per month like I thought.
I went and talked to the director of the school to see if they could find a way to help me financially, but they told me they couldn’t do that. I called my mom to tell her what happened, and she told me to ask them if I could only go twice a month and just pay half of the monthly fee, but I didn’t know if I could do that.
I told Steven about it, and he told me: “no, you’re going every week”. “But why?” ai asked him.
“because I’ll help you pay for it.” I told him “thank you”, and he added: “only if you succeed, and I want you to succeed!”
“Thanks”, I told him, smiling. “you don’t know how much this means to me”.
