I was younger then, but of course, older than I am today. It was over 20 years ago, and I finally got my first mobile phone that year. I was still in school, but I couldn't find any motivation. How I wish I had.
Meanwhile, I kept listening to music. At that time, my favorite radio station was K-Lite, which was based in Baguio City. Finding a good signal was difficult at times, so I had to move the antenna to get a clearer sound.
That year, solo artists who were once members of pop and R&B groups became very popular. These included Justin Timberlake, who had the big seller Justified, and Beyoncé with her chart-topping debut Dangerously in Love, which included one of her signature songs, "Crazy in Love." Norah Jones became a superstar after winning the biggest honors at the Grammys, which contributed to her Diamond-certified album Come Away with Me.
50 Cent became the next big thing in hip-hop after his highly successful debut Get Rich or Die Tryin'. Other notable artists during that year were Coldplay, Avril Lavigne, Linkin Park, Evanescence, and many more.
I had a hard time waking up in the morning because I still wanted more sleep. However, I needed to get up so I can prepare for our sign language meeting in the city.
