Whatever happens, you will always be better than someone and someone else is better than you. There's no point in looking at others. It's more important to focus on your self-improvement.-----6. If you set your heart and mind into something that you really want to do in life, you'll be able to achieve it, and you'll be successful.-----7.

8. Naiiyak ka? Wag kang umiyak. Maygad. You're crying? Don't cry! My golly.-----9. Always do you. Don't let anyone get inside your head and take control of who you are.-----10.

12. Kahit hindi ako matandaan ng tao, basta yung music tsaka yung feeling na nararamdaman nila nung pinapakinggan nila yung kanta ko, yun yung fulfilling o very satisfyung feeling na maibibigay o magiging regalo for an artist. Even if people don't remember me, as long as they remember my music and the feeling they've felt when listening to my songs, that's what makes it fulfilling, or what gives a very satisfying feeling or gift for an artist.-----13. Di na man ako genius. Feeling ko nga rude yon minsan. Pinaghihirapan at pinag-iisipan ko maigi lahat ng ginagawa ko. I'm not genius. Sometimes I feel like it's to rude to be called one. I work hard and think thoroughly all the things that I do.-----14. I am NOT nor do I INTEND TO BE the person you call "IDOL". I wear my garbage all the time. My beliefs and experiences made me who I am. I am who I am, I feel good and at the same time, bad about it.
