Hive Open Mic 165 | Top of The World (Ukulele)

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


Hello. It took me a lot of courage to post this video. I have always loved playing musical instruments. In highschool, I used to play the flute in front of my classmates just for fun. I also played the guitar. I usually play in the church at school in college. Most of the time, I don't use my voice because singing has been one of my greatest insecurities.

Although I do not shy away from karaoke singing, but most of the time it's either I'm drunk or the ones listening to me are too drunk to care whether I hit the right notes or not.

In this video, I'm not drunk. (I may just sound like it a little bit so please pardon me.) This is also the first time I'm joining Hive Open Mic.

My daughter wanted to learn how to play the ukulele and I've been wanting to learn too for the longest time. So I'm studying the ukulele for our lessons while I'm also playing some of my favorite music on my spare time.

I did not realize that recording a video for a song would be so challenging. I had to retake a billion times before I finally got to the point where I just gave up where I am contented with the recorded video. Recording myself while crocheting is a whole lot different. Because I don't show my face while crocheting. It felt weird watching myself sing as I was editing the video. Lol. I still had fun recording though. I've been practicing more songs in ukulele, hopefully I get to muster some more courage to post the others I'll be recording.

I picked this song for Hive Open mic week 165 because it makes me think of all the beautiful mountain peaks I've seen in photographs and the ones I've been. And there's no other view that will make you love mother nature more than up there where the wind blows, the leaves dance, and the clouds just float by, painting a whole new beautiful world away from all the hustle and bustle of our busy lives.

I had fun playing and singing this sone. I hope you have fun listening too. Y'all have a great day!

Hahahha.. Walang boses na lumalabas pag kumakanta ako, kaya ayaw tanggapin ng community yung recording ko. Ayaw ko rin na nakafocus sa mukha ko yung camera during recording kaya sa pusa ko itinuon. 🤣

This is my grandma's favorite song whenever we have our karaoke sesh. Luv the jolly vibe, ate romeskie!

I used to play different musical instruments too, but life happened hahaha naging busy at di ko na ulit nabalikan yung iba.

Can't wait to watch and listen to more of your covers! Wala bang pang birit dyan?

Wow mahilig ka pala sa music instruments? Sana all Ang daming talent. Hmmm ako kumakanta lang nung nagpapatulog sa anak ko nung maliit pa sya. I don't know if nakatulog sya dahil nagagandahan sa boses ko or baka nahilo sa basag na boses ko lol. I'm not into singing talaga Ang baba Ng boses ko.

I tried to learn guitar before because I want to pero basag kahit Ang kaskas hahaha

By the way, unique Naman Ng haircut mo sis Hehehe. Hehehe hair Ang notice. Di kasi Ako masyadong marunong making about tones hehehe... Ang sa akin lang clear and ma understand ko Ang lyrics Ng kanta.

haha. Thanks Sis. For sure, nakatulog sya sa lambing ng boses mo. Sa ating mga babies, tayo ang pinakamahusay kumanta sa lahat.

Mejo matagal nang ganyan ang hairstyle ko. Parang gusto ko ngang magpakalbo naman. Though ni-try ko muna ang kulot. Pag nagbago uli isip ko, papakalbo naman ako. haha
