I kind of had a vision for myself. I wanted to have an album out and to make it R&B and try to make it into the mainstream and continue to do what I'm doing and never give up. The other American Idols, maybe they don't try too hard or something goes wrong, but I really don't want to be in that case where I'm not given the chance.

I don't think it was a mistake, ... It definitely got me more visible in Hawai'i. It really got me exposure.

I had a great time recording and working with the producers. I really got to work with great producers, and different producers with different work ethics.

If there are roles that come my way after this, I might just do it part-time. But for me, studies come first. I want to be a heart surgeon ultimately.

Though a bit difficult, I had fun learning Tagalog. It was important to me that I learned the diction right for your sake. For mine, I had the message of the songs explained to me so I could emote it properly. In the process, Ive learned all the nasty words and how to say Nakakaloka ! What Tagalog word did I have problems with? Tandaan that we replaced with maramdaman .
