When I was still unemployed, well that was after I graduated from college, I decided to spend one more year in the band – Kuerdas, before getting “serious” with my future. I remember my Mom kept scolding me about being in the band. She kept telling me why I was wasting my time and my youth in something that’s not productive when I was supposed to be working as a professional. She wanted me to be employed in a stable company as soon as I graduated. Well, I understand her. Being a singer in a local band did not take me anywhere but what my Mom did not understand was that I was just biding my time. I wasn’t in a hurry to land a job at that time. I was enjoying myself with the band. I thought to myself, since it was my last year in the band, I will make the most of it. Well guess what? I did! And I have no regrets. Thank God, I didn’t listen to my mother. LOL!
I was able to make the most of what I really LOVE to do because I thought I won’t forever sing with the boys. For me, it was a good decision that I spent a year with my band because after that, I was not able to join any bands anymore when I got serious with my life. When I landed a job, the opportunity to really sing with a new band didn’t knock at my front door anymore. Although I still sing on very seldom occasions. Not like what used to do with Kuerdas.
This was the band's first picture when we started... 
haha! We we're all too young
After a gig at the mall...
Your's truly singing my version of "I Shot The Sheriff" at a band competition with Kuerdas
To be honest, I miss performing especially with Kuerdas. Whenever I see new pictures of them on Facebook, I sometimes wish I was there performing with them. But years has already passed by. Along with maturity, I have already accepted that I don’t belong “on stage” anymore. But I still love singing. It’s my passion. It’s something that always makes me happy to think about because I have great memories of performing in the past. I had great memories with Kuerdas Band.
