Geca Morales: In Her Becoming
“Mahal magpasulat sa ibang writers and mahal magpagawa in general….‘Yung nag-challenge sa akin na magsulat ng sarili kong songs is magsulat ng songs na babagay sa akin, babagay sa style ko, babagay sa kaya kong gawin. So mas napaglaruan ko siya kasi nakagawa [ako] ng song kung saan mas mapapakita ko kung saan ako magaling,” Geca shared.
In Geca’s words, “Naniniwala [ako] na waiting is a form of preparation. Kaya siya hindi pa binibigay sa'yo ngayon kasi hindi ka pa handa to face it. So... parang God is just waiting for you to be ready bago niya ibigay sa'yo ‘yung opportunities na nilaan Niya para sa'yo.”
“[For me], kaya siya pinagdadaanan, hindi mo siya tatambayan. [Na-realize ko] may reason naman pala ba't ko pinagdaanan ‘tong moments na 'to kasi… parang may nagawa akong something beautiful out of these things na pinagdaanan ko,” Geca explained.
She explained, “The story about the song actually is saying na ako na ‘yung [hinihintay] and ako ‘yung hinahanap ng specific person. It's like, ‘bakit pa kayo naghahanap ng iba? I've always been here all the time.’”
“For Abang, I want this song to… give out confidence. Parang ‘yung mas ma-feel mo ‘yung self mo, mas ma-express mo ‘yung self mo kasi mas ma-embody mo kung ano ‘yung things na meron ka or things na kaya mong gawin,” Geca shared.
“Ngayong season na ‘to, I'm my own boss. Ako na ‘yung nagsasabi kung ano ‘yung direction na gusto kong puntahan. Unlike before na parang ang dami kong pinapakinggan, ang dami kong mga opinions na kino-consider,” Geca shared. “So now that I'm more confident about myself, I can proudly say that it is my time kasi ready na ako to share to everybody who I really am,” she added.
