amazing how an 8 yr old can start composing songs. as in lyrics with the melody. my son have been consistently bragging abt 18 songs he has completed. i'd shrug him off thinking its one of those games he was playing. he loves stroking on our guitar as if he knows how to play it. never thought he was serious though.

until one time, we tried prodding him on singing one of his compositions. i was really expecting something that sounded like one of the songs i usually play on my PC when i was at home. but lo and behold, he was singing on a totally different tune. something that he originally thought abt. can't help but shed a tear. am really proud of my son.

well, i guess he got it from me. although i am not really into composing, i just love music. i have abt 2,000 songs on my PC (and growing). i can live without tv but i definitely cannot live without my music. even at work, i have my own speaker (with matching subwoofer). i turn on the volume especially when i work alone during late nights. or else i get freaked out by the weird sounds i hear around.

i regress, i think i should have my son study playing a musical instrument, maybe guitar or keyboards. since its really his passion. my only fear is he might neglect his studies. one more funny thing, he told me that he organized a "band" in school. and he is the lead singer. i forgot their name. it was foreign sounding. he just keeps surprising me with his antics. i really love my boy.
