i stand alone

january 2007 - i slept through life

february 2007 - i continued sleeping

march 2007 - i awoke from my slumber in haze

april 2007 - i smiled some

may 2007 - i found solitude

june 2007 - i reflected

july 2007 - i turned 24

august 2007 - i smiled a little more

september 2007 - i was ready to go home

october 2007 - i found some strength

november 2007 - i found some motivation

december 2007 - i'm ready to stand alone

some people can't be replaced, and some memories can't be taken away.

they call it growing pains....
but i've tread the paths, endured the pain, and left my marks...

they call it emotional baggage..
i call it history in the making...
and in this book of history....

i crawled, dragged my feet, but finally learned to walk.

It's taken this long, but I'm ready for 2008 - to finally stand alone.

jacky says...

there's a price to pay to growing up

growth is a long difficult process

growing up, you will experience happiness and then sadness

or sadness and then happiness

and this will continue to alternate and fluctuate throughout your entire life

2003 was the worst year of jacky's life and career as he bid farewell to two of his friends

then came 2005, the best year of his life

as he was blessed with a daughter

lessons dont come easy

thats the price to pay for growing up

you just have to live through the sadness

and look foward to the happiness

*above was summarized from the concert with a twist of the lam*

jacky rocked the house.

he kicked off the concert with a couple of fast songs and dances

and this continued throughout the concert,

he sang a few of his more known classics

and he finished the concert with reenactments from perhaps love

my favorite song?

i still think you were the best

i believe in music;

i believe it can drive you to tears...

if you believe in music....

if you believe in music....

... then you'll believe that it can move you to tears ....

few singers and few songs have that power over me

jacky cheung is one of them.

everytime he throws a world tour, im determined to go;

but not determined enough that i never end up going.

accurately speaking, not courageous enough.

jacky's music strings together the pages of a big chapter in my life.
