Juan, my lil' brother, plays the flute in the school orchestra. Earlier this year my dad attended one of my brothers' school concert. Because of the nature of his job he rarely gets to attend school functions (including graduation) thus he was really excited and enthusiastic about it. After watching he made a remark/request that my brother should also perform and sing in the concert aside from playing his flute. We as a family enjoy music, and have bonding karaoke sessions for fun. My brother can carry a few tunes but he lacks something... so I encouraged him to enroll at Center for Pop Music Philippines(CPMP), just for fun and as a summer activity.
After finishing level one at CPMP, he surprised everybody during his recital. He was confident on stage and his voice was like "WOW" I just can't believe that he has improved a lot. While some of his peers forgot steps, lyrics of the song he just glided smoothly thru the recital.
A few weeks after the recital, Mama sent an email about an upcoming singing contest sponsored by FAME and Smart Link . We all encouraged him to join or at least audition for the contest, walanamangmawawalakung i-try niya. To make the long story short, Juan passed the auditions and my dads' request "to see my brother perform on stage" is finally within reach. The grand finals would be held at CCPs' Aliw theater on 09 November 2006 hosted by Paolo Bediones and Ruffa mae Quinto.
The contest has a "texters choice catergory" though I'm known for being a very lazy texter, I prefer calls than text, I'll make an exemption and vote for my brother.
If by any chance you're a SMART subscriber, PLEASE vote for my lil' brother (okay so he is almost 6ft.) by texting "LINK Juan" and send to 299 per text costs PHP 2.50
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.

Confessions
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...
