1. Always have a small notebook with you - in case me maisip ka na magandang lyrics habang nasa bus pauwi, nagaantay sa friend sa mall, pumipila sa atm, etc. Sulat mo kaagad bago pa mawala.
2. Buy a cellphone that has a capability of recording unlimited duration of audio - in case me maisip ka na magandang tono o riff sa gitara--Record mo kaagad.
3. Write what you feel--let your emotions be your guide. I think LOVE is a favorite subject in most songs, it gives us the best of both worlds -- PAIN and HAPPINESS.
4. At ang pinaka-importante--avoid the temptation of copying somebody else's song. Just make a song that you wanna to hear. Others liking your song is just an added bonus.
