This was my second performance and my first time participating in an actual singing competition in a Buwan ng Wika event in SPIS (Second Philippine International School) KSA back in 2012, six years ago. To read the full story, scroll down! :D

(Read me if you want to know the full story behind this video) 
It was in 2012, fourth grade, when I decided to join a singing competition for the very first time at school, an idea that seemed very very foreign to me for I only had performed once, and it was back in 2011. (Link below to video!)

For some reason, me and my family figured it'd be a good idea to join. I was really inexperienced and didn't have any voice lessons at all, I was only singing by ear, following standard karaokes and songs on the Internet, with only a leap of faith. I was really really really nervous, that as you can see at the end, I began to panic and run out of the stage right after performing. (Big mistake, yikes.)

There were a lot of students participating too. The wait felt like forever, and with every passing moment, I felt my throat run dry, my heart going bonkers, and my nerves going wild. I didn't even think about winning - I just had to deliver at least a decent performance. My mind was racing, that I forgot everything that was happening around me, and hahahaha, I couldn't keep calm.

When my turn came, it was like the whole world just collapsed around me. Even so, I walked up the stage, held the microphone as tight as I could, and tried to deliver a performance that would make my loved ones even just a little bit proud. Fun fact: it was just me and my Mom rehearsing all that time, she was my very first vocal and performance coach - shout out to you Mom! 

Parents were also not allowed to step into the quadrangle, but my Dad just COULDN'T resist and walked into the center with his camera hahaha. I managed to pull through and got applause from the audience, and right after getting off the stage, it was like my lungs suddenly remembered oxygen existed and PHEW! it was over, and I was shaking - from both nervousness and happiness.

I didn't expect to win as the Champion either. It was very very shocking to me. Until now, I can still remember how it felt like knowing there were people who believed and supported me, despite my inexperience, nervousness, and shyness. 

To all of you reading this, know that there would be no Amira Medina without you. Thank you so much! Enjoy these throwback videos!
