Sophia is off to her swimming class today.

Be back with pictures.

Here’s a little confession. I am a frustrated singer. At age 7, my mom gifted me with a Karaoke set with matching Sharon Cuneta (her fave singer of all time) minus one cassette tapes. I knew her songs by heart - from Mr. DJ to Sana’y Wala ng Wakas. While kids my age were busy watching cartoons, I was busy with my Karaoke, singing my heart out. My favorite pastime was pretending to be a popular singer singing on television shows. That’s how I badly wanted to be a successful singer. For some reason though, I was never enrolled in any singing lessons of some sort. My mom probably thought that buying me a Karaoke was enough but obviously it wasn’t. I wonder now if she knew how I so loved singing way back or maybe she thought it was just something I do for fun. I was waiting for her to be that stage mom she could be and seeing how her daughter so loves singing, would do anything to hone her talent and even maybe try to let her daughter make it to the entertainment world. But I guess she was never the type or she was probably too busy putting food on the table to ever notice my potential if I even had any.

Now that I am a mom myself, and is far from being busy earning for the family as my husband is such a good provider, I have all the time to notice every potential my daughter has and would do anything I can to help her hone whatever talent she may have. If she ever wants to penetrate the entertainment industry, by all means, I am behind her. I’ll be the stage mom I wish my mom was and failed to be when I was a little girl. For petes sake, I would not even think twice of taking her to a membership based networking center and production company like what they have at Gonnabe.com. Oh yes, I would love to sign up for this production company as by doing so, children and their parents get an opportunity to work with other professionals, to develop their contacts, to audition shows, to gain exposure on major media markets, and to sign with talent agents and managers which is clearly a great way to build and practice skills.

At Gonnabe.com, every young child who has inkling for the arts will be given the much needed chance to make a name for him or herself and get better at their chosen field - acting, singing, dancing or modeling. The best part is, it will also help you penetrate the very closed entertainment industry where talent is not only the key to success but rather, knowing the right people too will definitely get you ahead.
