||: A few days back, Ron tagged me in his post entitled "Cliché Free: My Top 5 Least Cheesy Sad Love Songs", talking about how some lyrics pierce through us and make as submerge deeper into the "wallow tub". I always considered wallowing as part of the process of coping, acceptance, and healing.
||: These encounters, no matter how short and simple, made such an impact on me. I have always been drawn to music. I found two additional "melodically-driven" friends. The spoken and written conversations I had with them reminded me of how much of an influence music is to my life.
||: This led me to repost this old entry from my Friendster blog, which explains why I named my old blog "||: The Key of G." I am reposting this for my other melodically-driven friends who weren't able to read this before. I know that somehow you will be able to relate to what I have to share with regards to how music influences me...
||: Music has always been a part of my life… a big part of my life. One of the earliest toys I could remember I had was a plastic microphone. I still have a picture of me with it tucked in one of the photo albums together with the tons of other pictures chronicling my development (read: evolution) as a Homo sapiens sapiens. These pictures, by the way, are oftentimes enthusiastically shown by my mom to my friends (to my horror and dread!) when they visit our home… complete with commentaries, like those in DVDs!
||: Anyway, I could say that music is one of the earthly driving force that makes me tick. I say earthly because, of course, the heavenly one is God. Music is the "positive motivating force within my life." In fact, one of my childhood dreams was (warning: some of you might roll on the floor laughing your guts out upon hearing this…) to become a singer. Don’t laugh, but I’ve secretly always wanted to become a singer, aside of course from being a doctor. Well, the latter I’m inches away from achieving (I wrote this before the boards), but the former might well just remain a dream. Well, that’s one secret out for me. Wanna know the others? Give me a recording contract first! Just kidding!
||: Seriously, music has truly greatly influenced me as a person. This may sound geeky or make me appear autistic (which I am, roughly 60% of the time!), but music seems to understand who I am and what I feel in different situations in my so-called life. It understands my my feelings, give me strength through my ordeals, wails with me during times of sorrows, rejoices with me during my triumphs… music basically celebrates my life with me. Be it my social life, med life, spiritual life, love life, and whatever lives I have, music never fails to connect with me.
||: To make another point, a lot of my close friends now became my close friends because of music. My melodically-driven friends, I call them. During medschool and even up to now, music keeps me company as it also keeps me awake and sane and resilient to the pressures of time, workload, and high expectations. Also, as I wallow (as I’ve written in my profile, this I do best!) over my MISadventures, heartaches, disappointments, and failures, only music seems to weep with me with full understanding of what I truly feel. On the other end of the spectrum, when I want to revel and rejoice over my life’s triumphs, music is always there, ready to celebrate my joys with me.
||: This is the very reason why I christened my blog ||: the Key of G, as this will contain entries about "My life. My adventures. My ordeals. My pains. My triumphs… ‘bloggified’ in the Key of G." G as in Gawie. The Key of G as in music as my life plays it.
||: Welcome to my West End… the curtains have just risen…
