i'm watching gladys guevarra's videos on youtube. and the more i watch her, the more i like her. she's very talented. and she sings very well. so well, in fact i believe she can surpass regine velasquez, given a chance. she belts out high notes without so much effort, and one comment even says that she really is singing, not shouting like some other singers, which obviously is, um, ok i won't mention the name.

on PBB, she said something that i really believe in, and would stand for. "you are the captain of your own ship..." (...the chu-chu of your own soul -- haha hindi ko din alam!) and that is the fact. no matter what most people think or say about you, at the end of the day, you will be left responsible for your decisions, and not them. so if you will value their opinion, and not following your own instinct, or your own judgment, when the time comes that you realized it was a mistake, you got no one else to blame but you. AND no one else will suffer the consequences, but you.

if you think about every decision you will make so hard, but so carefully, even if it turns out to be a mistake, you will have no regrets. because you know you chose well. you have chosen what will make you happy for the day.

before, when i was asked if i have any regrets in life, my answer was none. because i chose what will make me happy. if it entailed some hardships, i will still stand by my decision, because i chose it. i was happy with it. and the troubles it entailed were out of my control. and i really wouldn't have it any other way. i have become what i am today, because of my decisions, and if i i had opted the "other choice" i don't think i will like the person i would have been.

so back to gladys... i really like her voice (one of her many talents) and self-confidence.... and complexion. ;) i wish i could meet her.
