From the time I was conceived, up until this very hour, my life has always been reflected in music. Seems like in every event, good or bad, there is a song that fits my mood or that a very song is there to recount what just happened in my life. Whew...
So that explains why ever since I was a kid, I just love music. I love to sing and make music. The only problem is, I did not focus on it much. After college, music became simply a vehicle for me to reach out for my self.. The person who is inside the shell... The person who is not who everyone thinks she is... Then, when my best buddy, Glen Borra died, the XU College Glee Club sort of had a reunion of some sort, so with the preparations we had for his interment, we faced music scores and music sheets again, with Odie Señeres taking the place of Prof. Lino Abrio. We were good during that time... but then again, after Glen was buried, we all had to go back to each of our lives, living the selves we have become.

FAST FORWARD:
With the Internet, we, Glee Club Members of Xavier University, are again connected with each other. OMG! We are scattered all over the globe. Odie was inviting me to work in Dubai, as Roy, another glee club alumnus is there already. HE said he is planning to organize a chorale group in Dubai, with all the XU Glee Club Alumni as its founding members. So we searched for the others. There are about eight people already, enough to form a group. The next problem now is where to get the music score and music sheets. I was so sure that I have copies, so I searched but found none. Goodness, I had those music sheets when we were still in college. But mind you, I consider them a treasure because they are the original pieces Prof. Abrio and Father Cuna have arranged from the pieces created by Philippine Music greats. I tried so hard but I really couldn't find any. Must be in the boxes. Without knowing where they have gone, I asked help from Mr. Google and found a site where we can actually get music scores and music pieces that we can use. The website 1001sheets.com offers a wide variety of music information that anyone could use. Membership is free, and joining the forums will surely be a very big help... I think it will be an advantage should Odie push through with the plan... wink..wink...
