“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,

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

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..
