this is the text in my READY TO cd released last December 2004: around fifteen years ago during a high school summer program to prepare myself for advanced math, i instead got into writing lyrics and other forms of literature. a freshman in college, i collaborated with a friend to finish the first act of a musical on the life of biblical heroine esther. one of the songs there whose music and lyrics i both composed (NEVER KNEW THE FEELING) appears here in this cd. but i changed the lyrics a bit to make it a bit, um, controversial. ahwehwehwe. i resumed writing songs, now a hobby, after i finished my undergraduate degree in accountancy. i try to write at least one song a year. and i try to like it enough myself to keep it and have it arranged and record it. and four years ago, i thought it would be a neat idea to give my songs away in lieu of christmas presents. it would be personal and maybe a little lighter on the christmas shopping budget. :) and so you have in your hands my fourth cd again containing three previously unrecorded, newly-arranged songs plus two of my favorites (NO GOODBYES) and (SCARED-Y CAT). i hope you get to like at least one of the songs in this cd. and maybe i can write three new songs for next year’s giveaway. :) in ending, i’d like to thank God for showering me with so much blessings over the past thirty years - my parents, my sister, my niece, my relatives, my friends, and the experiences from which i learned so much from. i try my best to always do good with what i’have and i can’t complain nor ask for anything more.
