today's show was insane. the flight was so crappy (6 hours straight) from boston to LA but damn this show made it so worth it. i wasn't feeling so good earlier today, but once i hit the stage... it was all amazing from there! i sang my first song with cathy nguyen (myspace.com/cathynguyenmusic) and i love her so much i just realized how much i miss her. we sang "lucky". i sang "little piece of home", then called up Gabe Bondoc (youtube.com/gabebondoc) and we sang "details in the fabric"... it was so good for us not practicing too much. i sang 'my soldier', invited my little niece up to sing (which was so cute by the way) and then i sang my last song, "i just want you".
"i just want you" will never be the same to me after today. i said this one is called 'i just want you' and the crowd totally SCREAMED so loud all at once that i got scared and was startled. hahaha. so i sang the first part, and couldn't sing anymore, cuz EVERYONE in the crowd was singing along and it was just so overwhelming... i cried for the first verse and chorus and was just playing guitar to everyone singing along. i'll show you guys pictures soon, and vids will be on youtube... but seriously how INSPIRING and MOTIVATING for me... i cried cuz YOU guys support me and sang to a song that I wrote. so loud i felt you guys were on stage with me. thank you so much. i cant explain how i felt. i was looking at my mom and she just looked so proud. and my aunties and everyone looking at me it was just amazing. thank you. so many of you there that i met and who bought CD's... thank you so much. i probably met all 400 of you i feel like. im not even sure how many people were there it was insane. man, it was CRAZY i love YOU guys!!! music is TRULY universal and i'm SO GLAD ya'll can relate.
i'm home now. gonna go party it up with my best friends!

AJ,
I wish I was there so badly. Come to San Diego, CA sometime. [: I'd love it so much.
You're an inspiration and a great musician. I love listening to your music. Thank you for sharing. It does mean a lot to us fans. Yes, fans-- not just listeners. We got your back. <3

I'm glad you had a good show AJ :]
I LOVE YOU
<3 Renabette
Awhhh, AJ! its okay! I had so much fun today! I swear, that whole thing was totally worth it! Youre lucky i was at the front row! I had my back surgery a couple months ago, but i risked getting hurt just to be with you guys!
I love you too! SG is CRAZYYY about you! Sometimes we sing My Soldier randomly.
I bought THREE albums btw. One for friends and one for family, and one for me. [:
Hope i'll see you soon! i'll send some pics later on!
Aw, I wish I was there. It sounds awesome. I adore "I Just Want You" and your cover of "Lucky". I love you, Gabe, and Cathy, but I've never been to ANY of your shows or their's. You were in Cerritos once and I live right there, but by the time I found out, it was too late. I was extremely upset.
You're the only artist (or person who I don't know personally)that I would ever write to. I wrote to you once before on myspace a long time ago because you just blew me away and listening to "My Soldier" helped me through some really tough times. So, feel special! (x
Okay, I'm going to stop rambling on because I feel weird and awkward since I rarely do this. Well, I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay back home (: You're amazing. Keep it up!
AJ!
there's something i gotta say to you...
i'll just admit this to you now...
today was INSANE.
i was hoping you'd post a blog.
you were simply amazing.
and the fact that you cried during
"I Just Want You" made ME want to cry.
i wish you guys weren't on a time constraint. it would've been way cooler. thanks for taking a picture with me.
i'm totally behind you and your music and i know i'm not alone
you're strong, strong as a soldier. so don't give up.
:) kllave
OMG!!!!!!!!!!! That NUST have been amazing wow you really are an inspiration to ALL of us your music is amazing and its REAL you aren't just singing about something you think you know about, you are singing something you really DO know about!!!! i almost cried watching YOU cry because i ciould just feel that you were so happy and grateful!!
I agree with Nicole. I WISH THE EVENT WAS JUST CLOSER!! I wish I was there bro, I bet that felt really good that everybody knew your music huh? HAHAHAH
Take it easy bro, and have fun with your priends. =].

<3 Cheryl
Was just watching the vid...to see an artist touched by the response from his fans! damnnn!!!
Any chance berklee wants to send a student *cough**cough* over to the UK to play a gig?
...we'll maKE do with the downloads and youtube til you hit the big-time aye!
Would've loved to have been at that gig mister!
x
When you are on the world stage, you'll have the world singing a long to your songs!!
You are already that GREAT, and have touched hearts from all around the world. Imagine once you hit the world stage, you'll be more than that!
I know you've touched mine, half way around the world :)
I'm glad I found a musician like you, your music always makes me happy :D
You are awesome AJ no doubt about that
Love Julie (Australia)
That's living proof that your dream is coming true. :]
I wish I could go to your show but to bad I live in Hawaii.
You don't need to be on TV to be "good". You sing and share you talent way better than some of those artist.
Your good, like seriously.
Keep going!
Keep smiling AJ no matter what.
<3
I was smiling the whole time I was reading this post. AHHH you're making it big, AJ (: I almost teared up. Welcome back to SoCal.
Love, Loris
