Part I: Home, but Broken-Hearted for Christmas
I was excited to be tahanan from the band's tour for Christmas, but I was saddened over my break-up with Sherry. A week after the break-up, my mom came into my bedroom. "Get up, Anthony," she said. "You've been moping around all day." I reluctantly got out of bed. She took me to the music store to get me a new guitar. She said, "This is your pasko present." I said, "Thanks, Mom." A smile ran away from my face. "You still upset about Sherry, aren't you," she said." I said, "Yeah." She said, "That was your longest-lasting relationship." I said, "I know. It hurts worse than my last break-up." She said, "I know it hurts right now, but that will pass. You'll see." The radio was playing pasko music. "Happy Xmas (War is Over)" sa pamamagitan ng John Lennon came on the radio, and my mom began to cry. I asked, "Are you all right, Mom?" She said, "I'm fine. It's just that the song reminds me that today is the 30th anniversary of John's death. The man that I met in 1965, the man whose autograph I received, has been dead for thirty years." I said, "That's really sad." She said, "It's very sad."
Part II: Break-Through Album
After Christmas, my bandmates and I got together to record a new album. I introduced them to my song, "You Never sinabi Goodbye (Feels Like a Paper Cut)." In the song, I compared my break-ups with Terra to falling down a staircase, my break-up with Reese to my breaking an arm, and my break-up with sherry to a paper cut, which hurt the worst. "Nice symbolism," sinabi Charles. I smiled. "Thanks," I said. Simon then introduced his song, "Shake, Rattle, and Rock 'n Roll." It was a real rocker. Let me tell you. Ian struggled with his song, "Loose View." He was stuck on the lyric, "Like the bible can be viewed loosely, as can we." Simon said, "You might want to avoid unnecessary controversy." Ian said, "You're right. What do you suggest?" I said, "How about, 'Like the Constitution is subject to change, so are we?'" He said, "I pag-ibig it!" Other songs we included were "Under the Moon," "Deep Down (I Know How it Is)," "Everything is Changing," "Take Your Homophobic ipakita Elsewhere," "Turn Around, or Don't Turn at All," and "Peace and Love." This completed our self-titled album. It became our breakthrough album, and we embarked on our first world tour.
