this song unexpectedly entered my head when i was disturbed by my cousin to tell me that my name is in the broadsheets. since i was already half-asleep while listening to 80s music, i grumpily said that its nothing new since its already the 2nd time my name has been mentioned in the printed news (yeah, i just ruined his cheerful mood. what can i do, i get really grumpy when someone wakes me up for something i dont find worth waking up to).
anyway, when i was about to resume sleep, this song started playing in my head. i decided to google it then find it on youtube since i have no idea what the song is. found out it was some praise song. i knew this song because when i was in grade school, we used this song for some school presentation. i cant remember the details of that school activity but i do remember some of the lyrics (thats why it was easy to google). i think i sang and presented the part "Even though you might grow weary / Don't be discouraged / In our weakness God is strong" because i still clearly remember the lyrics and the following stanza.
remembering this song made me realize how much i like doing school presentations. i enjoyed doing the song and dance activities. even in high school i try not to look i enjoy it during practice but when the actual presentation comes, i bring my A game. i still like doing this kind of stuff because i still did it during law school for the malcolm madness presentations and class projects. i like performing on stage. i guess i didnt consider developing this interest because people keep telling me i have a brain. people usually praised me for my intellect rather than the other stuff i do (like drawing). now that im thinking about this topic of other interests, i remembered wanting to become a comedian. i wanted to perform and make people laugh. specifically, through visual gags and not through stand-up comedy. that was when i was still a hyperactive kid.
with this song found, i have another song from my childhood that i need to find. this song will be much difficult to look for since the only word i remember from the song is "stalingrad". im not even sure if its "stalingrad". maybe its "leningrad". i will have to wait for the song to enter my head unexpectedly to gain useful clues on how to find it.
