Trees at Camp John Hay

THE VOICES OF THEE


The sun shines as if it curses the day and night
Polluted air conquers my everyday sight,
I can’t breathe nor can I see the light
Towards environmental crisis with series of flight.

The river flows but never on my roots of glow
Trees were cut, no more shades to show,
I’d rather stay at home and play though
My gadgets don’t talk to me like my bro.

I sat once on my hard couch,
Viewing the television about technology’s touch:
Amazing, beneficial, solution for today’s modern batch
 A Science-literate is indeed a clutch.

Modern advances benefits lives,
Eradicates reams of paper files,
Woods in the forest nor cries
Hope to Science never dies.

To the Youth of Science-Nation, I appeal,
‘It takes a responsible citizen to make solutions real!’
SciTech is our great gear
To meet so much world complaints that bear.

The Singers (An Essay)

I, singing 'Rolling in a Deep' by Adele at Tondaligan Beach Cottage


SINGER: The Conqueror of the Crowd

          “So she poured out the liquid music of her voice to quench the thirst of his spirit.”                                                                                                                                     ~Nathaniel Hawthorne
                
          Music soothes everyone’s heart, mind and soul. It really captivates one’s attention leading a person to relaxation and imagination. Researchers say that musicians have longer life than of an ordinary person. Their lives depend on the notes they establish since music means big in their lives, it becomes a part of it.  One expresses his thoughts, feelings and emotions through singing. I, myself did and still doing it too. I want actually to be a singer, a famous and be one of those best singers someday. I like playing with music and singing—my passion, my sister in all situations of my life.
          Looking into the deeper sense of the profession, everyone is a singer in his own perspective but not all could be a professional one. There are protocols, requirements that one should comply to achieve the totality of the profession. Some of the factors that require an individual to become a singer are trainings and his abilities. Trainings in the said field are a tough thing to do. One should be a keen listener to the trainer, a good trainee and does what must to be done. During the training, one acquires a skill and be able to apply it after the said activity. Education is one of the key factors of trainings. If the school provides a subject exclusively for music, then it’s a basic foundation of a person in the field of singing. In that way, he learns, builds and develops the ability and skills in singing.
          Moreover, it’s very advantageous to an individual who had an innate ability and skills in singing. All they have to do is to enhance what they have and enrol themselves to an exclusive school for music. Singers of today’s generation have these and they are indeed lucky. They make gain fans, make money and enjoy life by entertaining the crowd with music. Others just joined an international singing contest just to establish their innate skills and some of them are Jessica Sanchez and Philip Philips. Another thing I’m interested most about singing and governed me to aspire as a singer is the money or the salary of it. To be a professional one is tough but it’s worth it when it comes to money convenience.
          Singers are generally paid by the performance. The rates they earn vary depending on a number of factors, including employer, experience, reputation, and the type of performance for which they are hired. An international performer’s salary may vary from an ordinary singer. Most likely, the salary ranges less than $20,000 a year, while others make more than $100,000. That’s really motivating. Let’s take an example calculation from an author of an article about singers: For instance, fees for singers who perform at weddings and similar events usually start at about $100 for those with little experience, while an established and reputable singer can earn more than $1,000 per event. Unionized opera singers have their minimum pay rates negotiated for them by performers’ unions. They can earn upwards of $1,000 a week. Is it big? Now, tell me who doesn’t want to aspire to be one of the singers?
          Lastly, considering those students out there who are aspiring singers (professional singers) like me, bear in mind that education is one of the keys to open your dreams to reality. Educational requirements depend on the type of music you want to pursue. If you want to be an opera singer, you generally need years of formal training. Popular singers do not necessarily need formal training, but it can be extremely helpful. Start by taking music classes in high school, and, if possible, by taking private voice lessons outside of school. After high school, you can train at the post-secondary level. Music programs are offered by universities, colleges, and private institutes across the country. Many of these programs offer specializations in vocal performance, and some even provide training in a specific style of music, such as opera or jazz. They usually take between 2 and 4 years to complete, and lead to a diploma or degree. Applicants may be required to pass an entrance audition. The only things you have to rest assure is your pocket, time and effort to do such tasks in singing.
          Therefore, professional singers are one of the toughest but highest paid workers in the world. Seek for your passion, pursue it and enjoy it.

I Did ABC and D



I never thought of being glad
Or simply being me in my other side,
Oh! Ah.
I never lead myself to that
I just told my heart to shake a little blunt
And took the right track to be mine;
I never planned the moments we had
And now the laughter we just glide.
It is a love but oh, isn't it?
Uh-ah. Maybe for once,twice and hmmm...
Hey boy! You rocked my heart as if you are the one
But hey! I'm just a fan who makes myself a little dang!
Inseparable and yes! You are incredible.
Thought again of my ABC and D.

UNDO





As I am typing a post

In a fiercely-calm mood,
Crashes and cracks tapped my back:
My heart shrank, I felt blank
Like a piece of a paper bond 
Which in it is just a man.
I thought many times of a single run 
But it keeps me pausing with a tickling plan—
Plan that will see my worth, my bliss and my tiny grunt.
How should start? How should I scrap?
Why oh why? My life is at rest
But I can’t see that rest in a mighty guess;
Several days of moaning
Leaving my fears and tears ongoing,
Reality slapped, idealism cropped— 
I just, hmmm, sigh for a while then off to see my wide smile.
La la la la la la la la la la...
I played the Canon Music in D,
My heart melt, my soul gripped
I miss you, I miss him
Where are you? Where... where...
Sigh to bye, hello to smile.
Get missed,
Get lived.
Undo the emotions, undo the notions.
Undo, undo, undo as if you do.

Folks of Dreams



I dreamt last night that I was right
Thinking those times I sipped my pride;

Starving smiles, drowned to debt of ease and light,
Caught myself locking my heart with simple glide
Of  peace and preach from heaven's bright.
I felt the comfort of my bluest stuff
I sought answers
Of  the what's and why's of  this cruel life,
Finally when I got  the peak of my plight,
I thought of this precious second life; 
Realizing I was just living in a speculative site.
I pause with a smile.... :)
