Dear Diary,

It is my first night here... Jet lagged. Long flight... Because we were busy preparing the songs that the whole crew lacked of sleep. We needed to prepare the demo that very day for us to distribute to the person(s) who would be responsible and helping us in producing our first album in the States, L.A. to be exact. I am excited. If not for her I don't think this door would ever be opened to me and the band even though she mentioned that its all based on our own hardwork and talent that secure a spot. She actually indirectly set up a network for us. And network is really important in the music business I am just thankful for that. 

I need to leave to create a better future for myself. As you know, my dad is a construction worker. So... money is tight. And if I stayed as an artist unsigned to a label, I won't be able to support my dad in the future. And opportunities like this only comes once in a lifetime. Even though its a difficult separation, I think its the best choice at this moment. 

Actually I didn't know she thought of
