My NOT so Ordinary Passion
dark regine

It all started when I was in Grade 5. Yeah, believe it or not.
I woke up hearing her voice because my sisters adore her. They have a vast collection of her albums. I learned to love her voice and her songs. My dad won't me allow to go to concerts then. When I was in fourth year high school, I can't bear the thought of not seeing her in person. I strive and find ways...and I succeeded.

I became so addicted to her that I went to almost all her gigs. I met people that eventually lead to a deeper friendship. Through my experiences following Regine, I learned so many lessons in life and I met wonderful people that became a part of my life now.

Getting to the basics.
Regine Velasquez is one of the most notable concert performers in the country. Not only does she showed her talent by singing really high notes and soul-wrenching version of songs but she also won an acting award in one of her guestings in Maalaala Mo Kaya.

She is a live representation of modern Cinderella. She gave hope to aspiring poor singers. She let us see that poverty is not a big obstacle at all.

Regine hasn't failed to inspire legions of fans in her more than 20 years in the business. Through her songs and down-to-earth character, many couldn't take her out of their systems...and I am one of them.
