Charice's song Pyramid! (full song)

Kinda Beyonce-ish but better.

Apparently, this song is yet to be released and a final version is yet to be heard.  There is debate that this song leak will hurt Charice's international debut album while I believe that this could actually help achieve a lot more buzz & awareness on her upcoming album release.

But that's just me. 

What about you? 

Should this song not have been leaked at all?

But true iheartcharice lovers - i think - wont care at all as anything from Charice is very very much anticipated. 

It's confeermed again: Charice will have a Valentine Concert

And it will be with the Philippine's version of David Foster, Mr. Music Man Ryan Cayabyab.

Take note that the event will also get to showcase Charice as a full fledged Diva woman and not anymore a teenage girl.



Details soon!

Charice still washes the dishes at her home

No preferential treatment is given to little big Diva Charice as her Mommy Raquel doesnt treat her different or special

and instead treats her like she always has


even before she rubbed elbows with Oprah, sang with Celine, worked for David Foster, etc.

Simply put, Charice is not at all exempted from household chores.  Take note that she even packs her own bags whenever she is to travel.

Mommy Raquel:  "Her singing has grown more mature, but she’s the same little girl I raised..For as long as I am around ... she’ll remain humble and level-headed.”  - via the Phil Daily Inq

A Comprehensive Profile on Charice by the Probe Team

Thanks to the Philippine program The Probe Team, we learn a lot more about Charice and how her life experience helped her be where she is now.

At 0:42, her Mommy Raquel relates how Charice took it upon herself to help the family financially.  First by saving her mother from the shame of asking for money from others by volunteering to go and ask for some money herself - either to family or friends - as well as in joining singing contests.

It was when Mommy Raquel said to Charice and her brother that "I have to return you to your father because I have no job and cannot support you anymore."  that Charice again stepped up by saying, "No mommy.  Just enter me in singing contests.  We'll get by."

At 1:15, Charice also recalls a bittersweet experience which seemed to foresee the continuous blessings she is set to receive.

Charice relates how she won P3,000 ($60) in a singing contest.  An amount just perfect for her family to pay  a few debts and buy food.  Unfortunately, the amount was stolen.   Mommy Raquel cried and so did Charice and her little brother.  Every inch the courageous little diva, Charice struggled to be unfazed by the setback and immediately asked her mom to look for any singing contest she could join on that same day.

They were able to find one in Batangas and so had to borrow P1,000 ($50) - an amount just enough for them to go to Batangas but not enough (if Charice looses) to get back home.

But lo and behold, Charice gets teary-eyed in 1: 49 when she tells how she won the contest in Batangas and win more than the amount she lost:  P8,000 ($160).


Charice's loss in ABS-CBN's Little Big Star contest - where Charice at 7:30 said she gave it her all while singing her song piece and even made sure every lyric she uttered she directly sang to and for the judges of the contest - proved to be her biggest setback as she cried her heart out for earning a mere 3rd place.  It was also at that moment when she gave up and decided to focus her energy on her studies and not anymore sing.

In the first few seconds, I thought it was a commercial for the Sennheiser microphone.  But no, it was for Queso.

I used to eat Queso when I was younger. And yes, it was yummy, creamy and cheesy.

Unfortunately now, my tummy cant tolerate lactose much so no chesse for me.

But Hooray for Charice's endorsement!
