Being Filipino, Life, Song That Makes Me Sing, Thoughts
Words from Miss Lea

If you don’t have anything nice to say (no matter what the circumstance), keep it to yourself. It won’t help the situation any to let someone know that someone else doesn’t like them, or has something uncomplimentary to say. I’d rather live in ignorant bliss. At least I’ll be in bliss.
Gentlemen, in apologizing to your wife/girlfriend/female friend, it’s enough to say “I’m sorry that what I did or said hurt you… I’m sorry for how I made you feel.” You uttered the words she was waiting for without sacrificing one ounce of pride.
Ladies, if your man seems to withdraw, let him be. All men need to be alone with their thoughts in order to think situations thoroughly. Nag him, and he’ll get confused. And an utterly confused man is akin to the Incredible Hulk.
It’s better to think and think hard and well before speaking. I’ve uttered enough FU’s in my lifetime without so much as a single thought.
Don’t forget to say “I love you,” if you truly mean it. We ladies LOVE to hear it, be showered in it, enveloped by it. Don’t hold back on us, please, and we won’t hold back on you.
Suffice it to say, I will always admire Lea. She’s intelligent and very witty with a crystal clear talent. She is a great person and for those who still look down on her or say she is stuck-up, let me rephrase her quotable quote: “If you can’t say anything nice…just shut the f**k up!”
Lea Salonga-Chien is a multi-awarded Filipino singer and actress who is best known for originating the role of Kim in the musical Miss Saigon. In the field of musical theater, she is recognized for having won the Olivier, Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics, and Theatre World Awards, the first to win various international awards for a single role. She was also the first Asian to play Eponine in the musical Les Misérables on Broadway. Salonga is the singing voice of Princess Jasmine from Aladdin in 1992 and Fa Mulan for Mulan and Mulan II in 1998 and in 2004, respectively.
Thanks, Lea.
Anyways, I had the nerves to sing this song, but I have never been singing songs with so special and emotional lyrics. It was not a frustration and I am not a negative depressive person in daily life. I certainly ain’t like that. It makes for a good sing along, as long as you can hear me sing when the rain starts pouring.

yup, that’s Lea for the nay-sayers.
I heard, she’s also KC Concepcion’s acting and voice coach on the Manila production of Beauty and the Beast.
I’m utoy, a newbie. If you don’t mind, I’ll visit your blog again.

The thing with Lea is that every time she performs, considering she’s also juggling motherhood and a broadway stardom, she’s always doing the job well.
As for KC, now that she’s also doing great in broadway, first of all, if she wants to follow her footstep, she needs to get the training. If she wants to make a living out of it, then she have to have something special to build on. And I know Lea can help her out with that. For a singer kasi, punuhan nila ang boses. Now I need a coach for myself.
Thanks for the visit.
love LEA!!! i even tried to audition for Miss Saigon’s production in Manila … Lea wannnabe!

Grace, NO YOU DIDN’T….. Seriously? Would you mind singing with us please?
Lea is such a role model for a lot of people around the world, obviously. But you know some celebrity once they get popular, they easily let it get to their heads.
love ko rin si lea. she’s one of the very few artistas who makes sense when they open their mouth, hehe.
Meeya’s last blog post..WW07: Spring Break
Meeya, exactly - the way she speaks (that brit accent) and the way she sings (no screaming a la Regine) too.
i admire lea, too, i’ve a signed poster size photo of her esp for kengkay, umamin na fan pala ako
anyway, she’s more mature now that she’s a mom and lalo pa that she’s been free of intrigues… that’s the real pinay na maipagmamalaki. sana paglaki ng mga little kengkays ko e maging big lea s sila.
