Goodbye and Hello....

September 21 is a very memorable day for me....for starters, it's a reminder that I'm getting a year older (bummer...)...but, I believe that I have had the best 20 something years of my life! It was one hell of a ride but the view was breathtaking. I stumbled so many times but I would like to believe that I have managed to stand up again amidst all the trials that have been trying to push me further down...God has been so good to me! I am thankful for all the happiness and trials, for all the joy and the pain, for all the love that I gained as well as the love that I lost...

September 21 will also be my formal announcement to my close friends, loved ones, and supportive following of my carreer that I will be saying goodbye to singing. Permanently? I still don't know. All I know is that this is one decision that I had to make not for myself but for the people that I love the most...and I know that this decision of mine will make them very proud.

It still breaks my heart that I will be giving up my passion...this is something that I have dreamt of since I was in my toddler years I guess. But I am still thankful to the Lord that He gave me that chance to fulfill my dream. Now it's time for me to move on and think of what's best for my loved ones.

So now, I'm saying goodbye. Goodbye to the 4 years of great memories..Goodbye to my dream of our album turning platinum...Goodbye to my funky boots and attire that I can only wear during my shows...Goodbye to the heartwarming notes I get from our avid followers...Goodbye to UNITY....

Tomorrow will be another day...I am looking forward to saying hello to my future...hello to the new people I will get to work with...hello to a new life with Kim...hello to a better relationship with my family...hello to my future children...

My life hasn't stopped...it's only the end of another chapter...I can't wait to write the next one..I will keep you posted.
