Journey To The Past: Dedicated To Karla

 Dear Karla,

 It's been two years now and you're still in my thoughts. I still swear until now, when I meet you in the Afterlife, I will bitch slap you for leaving so soon, no matter what your life contract says. But I always think of you when I'm recording a song or when I'm about to perform onstage. I imagined what you'd say to me if you knew I'd done my first (amateur-ish) music video which still needs to be re-edited before I can put it on YouTube. I still wonder if we could've done our duet rendition of John Legend's "Ordinary People".

Your voice and your singing NEVER ceases to amaze me. Your singing gives me goosebumps everytime, even if you're just practicing at home or trying to compose your own lyrics.




 You know how some people are good singers and some people are great singers?



 You are a FANTASTIC singer. Not good. Not great. But definitely one of the most exceptional (and also that workshop-mate of ours who I lost touch with. Wonder if she's still singing.) Listening to your recorded songs is one thing, but watching you perform live is just... sahfsjdkghjkslhdjk I CAN'T.

 It doesn't really matter to me now what caused you to do what you did last Feb. 18, 2010. I just wish I could've been there for you, like you were there for me when I needed encouragement the most.

Karla being weird. A sign of brilliance. X)


 Thank you for inspiring me. Thank you for giving me a haircut and giving me makeovers whenever I drop by. Thank you for being one of my close friends. Thank you for bringing me along to one of your last recording sessions for your supposed debut album. Thank you for being here- even if only for a fleeting moment. Thank you for your light and your laughter. Thank you for helping me out with my singing by recommending gigs and opportunities even though I didn't really take them because of circumstances.






You are one of those people who are beautiful inside and out.  I miss you everyday. I still think that Warner Phils. is a total douchebag for not releasing any of your songs after your death. You probably know this already but Warner took it badly and said a shitload of stuff about you when they had to shelf your album for other artists. People didn't know what they missed.




  Screw them. Whatever. If I had a choice, I'd upload all your originals on YouTube. Then again, your family would kill me. But I asked my family friend- who has countlessly worked within the music industry for several years- and he said I can upload the whole damn album because of... reasons I cannot disclose right now. LOL.

I wish more prayers and blessings for you, wherever you are. And of course, angels to watch over you.





Missing you everyday,
Awkward Turtle
