At the early age of 4 I discovered that I like to sing and appreciate listening to music. I'm a BIG fan of Lea Salonga. It all began when I was 6 yrs old, TV (and Barbie dolls of course) was my world. Being a Manilyn Reynes fan, (c/o of my yaya Vilma at that time, I was gullible) I was browsing through different channels in search for one of her shows (and before there were only a few channels) Low and behold I heard the loveliest voice singing "The sun will come out, tomorrow So you gotta hang on 'til tomorrow Come what may... Tomorrow, tomorrow I love ya, tomorrow. You're always a day away" and ever since I ditched Manilyn Reynes obsession for the Classy Lea.
I always asked my dad to buy me an album of Lea. After 2 years of ranting i finally got what i wanted, HEHEHE ;) my Dad was probably convinced that I really admired Lea Salonga, it was not just a "passing thing/stage". I didn't get the chance to watch "Miss Saigon" and i was really upset. I had to make-up for that! so i watched her concert last year "Songs from Home" and got really good seats plus an autograph!!!! I was star strucked. It was so real that I can't even believe that it was happening, I got to meet MS. LEA SALONGA! She was like an arms length away from me. I was speechless. As soon I was inside the car, I kept on raving on just what happened. I'm planning to watch Baby the Musical this Aug- Sept and i'm really excited.
I have a typical first name and that is Kristina. It could be spelled-out in different ways (Cristina, Christina, Xtina and what have you) but nevertheless it still sounds the same. For the last 2 decades of my existence, my name has evolved from Maria, tin-tin, Kristina, Kristeta, tina, tins and in an effort to be unique I finally chose a hyphenated name now I am t-na.

I always said the right things, throwing smiles left and right, ignoring "unpleasant" scenarios pretend that it didn't happen. I found it difficult to say NO, even though I really don't want to do it. To top it off, I always believed that "If I could just be nice to other people, maybe they will also be nice to me in return". Now, realizing that all of that crap I thought of is just full of shit since a lot of people took advantage of my disposition. Some of them even recognized that I was gullible and naive but instead of correcting me, they completely did the opposite. I've treasured momments of reflection and meditation, the healing of wounds. One day I'll face and conquer my demons...
