TRUE MEANING OF SUCCESS

“TRY AND TRY UNTIL YOU SUCCEED…!”

 Many people are now successful in different aspects of their lives.

They’re now experiencing the life they wish to happen as the as the results of the HARD WORKS.

One of them is, “LEA SALONGA”. 

One of the finest artist; singer here in Philippines and now known as, “Miss. Saigon”. 

She starred in many prestigious and popular plays in the Broadway, like, “LES MISERABLE, CINDERELLA and her latest, CATS!,

 where she plays the role of the glamour cat, Grizabella.

Lea was one of the Filipino talents now making their names in the Hollywood.

 And this was all possible because of her determination of pursuing her talent and her dream of being a great performer.

Aside from her, there is now, “CHARICE PEMPENGCO”, that are now called, “THE MOST TALENTED GIRL IN THE WORLD” by Oprah Winfrey, and the best of SUCCESS..

Charice was born in San Pedro, Laguna, Philippines. Raised by a single mother, she helped support the family by joining amateur singing contests at age seven, from town fiestas in various provinces to singing competitions on TV. She is said to have joined almost a hundred singing contests.

In 2005, Charice joined Little Big Star, 

a talent show in the Philippines loosely patterned after American Idol. Eliminated after her first performance, she was later called back as a wildcard contender and eventually became a finalist. Although she was a consistent top scorer in the final rounds, she only finished in third place based on text voting.

Charice made minor appearances on local television shows and commercials, but essentially had fallen off the radar after her stint at Little Big Star........

  In her journey, there comes a time that where she's losing her faith in pursuing her dream. Maybe because she kept on joining singing contest but then she always lose. That time she also losing her hope in being a singer. 

She thought it was the end of her journey.

But let's thank her parents and her friends that encourage and convinced her to continue making steps towards her dream.

That dream started at YouTube.

That site of videos, have done such a big part of her success.

I remember there was a video of hers, singing a beyonce hit, "listen".

I watched that video and I saw many people liked it. 

That is so amazing, with such a high notes that she perfectly hit and beautiful voice together with the melody of the song that warmed my heart.

 

She have already done guestings at the TV show in Korea; "STARKING", 

 

where she get to sing with(duet) one of the member of the cute boy-band group, 

"SUPER JUNIOR", named  

"KYUHYUN".

That's where she also take her first step towards her dream of becoming a singer.

Many controversies and intrigues that Charice was facing that time, but that didn't stop her her?

  

She took it as a challenge.

Many days come and past, until one day she a got a call.

A call of invitation. A call that will change her life. A call of dream. They responded the call. 

That call came from Europe! A television show in Europe,

it is the, “ELLEN DE GENERES' show.!" 

She was invited to sing there.

She took her second step towards towards her dream, waiting, slowly but surely.

The European people was amazed with her by how the voice came out in such a li'l body. It was really great.!

Because of the best she had shown, another one of the most powerful celebrity/host in America invited her again to have guestings in their show. 

The "OPRAH WINFREY SHOW!".

This is where she took another step towards her dream.

Oprah and all American was amazed by this young Filipina. I feel so proud when I see Oprah and her audience gave her a STANDING OVATION.

She's so talented and brilliant.

Because if the performance she had shown, Oprah decided to give her a break. A huge break.

She get to sing with the one of the most professional singers in Hollywood like,  

'Celine Dion,(left)

                                      

Andrea Bocelli, (right)

and get to work with the great singer,composer',  

 'David Foster'.

She's also given a privilege to be one of the actress of the musical movie,

"Alvin and the Chipmunks 2".

Charice now is so busy with her guestings and concerts and a starring role at the musical movie, GLEE.

She releases her latest album here in Philippines and in Hollywood, with her song ,"PYRAMID", 

where she get to sing with the black-American, singer-rapper, 'IYAZ'.

David Foster was involved in making this album so possible.

I proudly announce that the album was increasing it sales and popularity, that's why Charice now making a history in being a first Asian included to the top 10 billboard hit charts 2010.

Not so surprising. Because I knew already that it would happen. The song was so good and aside from her song, she’s kind-hearted and so talented. 

She deserves it. 

She's now a diva at young age;

she's now one of the finest artist not only here in Philippines but also in the whole wide world.

Charice now having her own happy life. She enjoy’s her concert tours around the world enlisted in her schedule. She's now contented with her very own house that she gave as a gift to her mother, AND ALL THE ARTIST WAS BOWED TO HER. CHARICE now renowned AS POP PRINCESS.

In her journey here in Philippines, she was judged by the way she looks. 

A lot of discrimination and criticism was said to her.

That's one of irritating fact that is still now happening.

Now everybody can get jealous with what she is suffering now. But think in a positive way.

We should be really proud of her.

Charice have shown the true meaning and a real example of a SUCCESS.!

It is her dream that do came true..

Success is not define by the appearance of every individual. It is a matter of pursuing it.

If you just keep on dreaming and wishing without any hard works in pursuing it, then your dream is just so impossible to happen.

Take every failures as a challenge.

We all know that GOD has given us different talent and all we got to do is to share it and improve it.

God has plan for each of us and we got to search for it.

"ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.!"

You know you can do everything right just dont bother and have doubts.

Sink in to your mind that all the blessings you are suffering is just a result of all of your hard works;

and as Charice said,  

"Don’t rush everything, because if you rush it, it will took so slow to be done."

 Success is so hard to find when you look for it, but is so easy to achieve if you work for it..

Mother And Father...! Mother Or Father..?

We all know that for quiet sometimes, we compare our parents.

Who's better and who's worst..?

Think about it.!

Father; is the KING OF THE FAMILY. We usually called him as , "HALIGI NG TAHANAN." His role is to provide the needs of the family, especially his children. He was the one, who give and provide foundation for the family in able to be strong. He had to protect his family.

If we'll going to think about it, he's the one that started the family.

 

Your FATHER was the one who serenades your mother before they were became your parents.

Mother; If the father I was the king, of course you mother was the QUEEN. We also called her as, "ILAW NG TAHANAN." Her role was to take care of the children; manage all the expenses; the one who prepares breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the family. She also the one who called by the teacher when something in your school gone wrong. She always defend you from all of you enemies even if it is you fault. 

 

Because of her you were born, and because of her you're alive and healthy.

They were our beloved parents, but let's try to look at their NEGATIVE sides.

Both father and mother preach you about you mistakes you've done. Sometimes there are tendencies that they will hit you or even slap you. They will say some bad things about your personality and then you'll get hurt.

 Your father always preach you with such a LOUD VOICE TOGETHER WITH HIGH NOTE, which is really irritating to hear. All you gotta'do is to behave. You have no right to reason out because, "you're only my child.!", he said. 

"One gladdening thing about him is, he's the one who spoils you for quiet sometimes."

 (scene..)

"Father sometimes get angry with your mother and he will hit her with no further reason. You all get scared and worried for your mother because your father got home and he's drank.!" :(

-sometimes this is the scenario of family. You'll see the attitude of being irresponsible of a father.

You are lucky if your father doesn’t do the same.

Your mother sometimes preach you too. She usually do this every morning which is so exasperating.

You just have to behave and not talk and let her finish to talk. 

 Although many says, they like their mothers more than they like their fathers. Why do you think so.?!

Because the true is, 'mother is a GREAT SPOILER'.

Your mother was the one who face all the consequences from all of the mistakes you did. She is the one whose assigned to protect you while your father is out.

 (scene)

"Mother is not inside when you got home. You found your house so messy and you noticed that no food prepared. Your tummy is rumbling already. You try to search for her and then you've seen her in a session. In TONG-IT-taN session." :(

-Some mother doing this. It's pretty embarrassing. You are lucky if your mother was caring and so much concern with you.

But it was always great, when both your parents was so caring, lovable and kind.

Now on my own Opinion....

I honestly love my mother more than I love my father. Maybe you'll understand if you got to see us.

My mother was always been my protector. I really love my mother. Im more of a MOMMA'S BOY.

She was the one who always defend me when my father was about to hit me or get angry with me. She was my saving grace. The only one I always look for when I’m alone and feeling indignant. The one who help me out from all of my problems. She help me to decide when something is so damn hard for me to choose.

PROUDLY, she loves me and accept me from who I am.

I don't really hate my father. I’m just being true and honest to my feelings and to myself; and the love I feel for her(mother) was not like the love I’m feeling for him(father). 

Although for quiet sometimes I feel kindah' hatred for him, because of the way he treat me. 

I still love him.

BUT TIME WILL COME WHEN YOU'LL GOING TO REALIZED THEIR WORTH.

I realized it when my father die. I felt sorry for myself. I realized everything I've done to him. I realized why he always getting angry with me. It's for my own good and sadly, I don’t know it while he's alive. I was totally feeling paralyzed, like I can't even move my feet or make a step. I don't know where to go and I don't even know where to start. 

I remember what my father said, “REPENTANCE always found at the END.!" 

He always saying that phrase to me and now I've proven to myself that this is true based on my experience.

We should love our parent, no matter how they treat us. we should be thankful. 

t is written in the GOD'S COMMANDMENTS.  

Let us don’t be too MORON with their instructions. 

Don't bother and hesitate to follow it, because parents only want what's best for all of us. Let's appreciate all the things they've done to us, whether big or small. !

WE SHOULD ALWAYS BE THANKFUL, because parents felt so much happiness when something they offer to their child was well appreciated. 

A simple, "thank you", from you was a BIG opportunity for them already, that they will keeping until THEY'RE GONE.

  We should LOVE THEM AT THEIR WORST.

As they take care for us when we were young, we should do the same when they got OLDER AND WEAKER. 

THEY'RE ALL GOD'S SENT. 

We are so many if you'll going to imagine, that's why GOD CREATED MOTHERS AND FATHERS, for you not to feel alone. 

They will guide you to walk until you can walk all by yourself. They will never leave you as long as you needed them.

Show them their worth’s.

Let us all give back all the love and care they have given us.

LET'S LOVE OUR PARENTS.!!!

 

LET'S SHOW THEM OUR CONCERN AND A LOVING AND CARING HAND WHILE THEY ARE WITH US. DON'T BE ASHAMED OF THEM.!

again,

LET US ALL LOVE THEM..!

ALL LAZY SHOULD DIE..!!

Every people have their own state of living. Either class A, B, or even C. But let’s put ourselves into a class where the state of living is not wealthy and not even starving. Now let’s think what kind of wealth does class A experiencing.

 

 CLASS A, is the one who owns a business that helps our economy grow with good flow. Their business helps provide business to other people that provides their needs to be able to survive everyday living and to fix all the expenses. And in reality.? They’re not starving.!

Now, the class C or the poor. Where you can notice some people establishing their houses in areas wherein no one is allowed to build or we also known as squatters. Their electricity and water consumption are illegal, or what we call in colloquial term, jumper. Some living under the bridge while some just sleeping outside and fighting against colds, and their lives were in miserable.

Now, what do you think the reason why they are starving?

The first factor was lack of education. They’re not totally educated to be able to have a work.

Second, lack of money to provide their needs .

Lastly, making wrong decisions , they want to be independent, wherein they can’t be able to provide shelters for them.

But on top of all of those reasons was, “LAZINESS !

 “ Why?  First, people don’t want follow their parents although they know it’s for their own good, but then, they chose to be independent. Which is irritating fact. Second, they want to go to school and finish it, but they’re not, because they reasoning out that, “they don’t have money to provide their needs.”

For me, I want to let them know, ”if you want it, then you work for it, but if you don’t, then you have your reason why you hate it.” Now, what Im trying to say is, “don’t be LAZY, and don’t depend to other who’s experiencing the same condition ,(starving) because, you just don’t help them, you just making them suffer more.”

Lastly, lack of money.

Why do you think?

Because they don ‘t even want to work, they’re just waiting  for the guava to fell down in to their mouth.

There are so many opportunities and ways but then they don’t want to grab it. Why? Because they’re all LAZY.!

Remember as GOD said, “ALL LAZY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO EAT, BECAUSE THEY’RE NOT WORTH IT.!”

LAZINESS, is the main factor why this economy of this nation don’t have good progress.

“So, Don’t just sit there.! If you want some changes start all by yourself and then GO work for it.”

“YOU LAZY! DON’T JUST SIT AND WAIT THERE.!”
