If only the internet came in earlier...



Everyone who is gifted with talents and believes in themselves deserves recognition - and this is now possible with today's technology. Even if you're not that famous of a blogger or a singer or a dancer, you can get a fair amount of likes (and if you're lucky, they turn to followers or even better, believers). 

While I was lurking around Facebook, I came across the Facebook profile of Nenita Canas and I found this public video of her singing to Yeng Constatino's Hawak Kamay. It was obvious she wasn't giving it her 100% but I instantly knew she can do better than that. I mean, listen to her falsetto. Her tone, voice, and melody was pleasing.

But in general, there isn't really anything extra special about this video. Compare it to all the good music videos or covers out there. Just average. Until I started to wonder... maybe if YouTube came in earlier, just in time for her younger days, she would be famous and even better by now? 

This piece goes out to the talents of the 70's an 80's who could have been rockstars or award-winning actresses or former heartthrobs. You may be living your life now happily as parents or as housewives or as corporate employees but just take comfort in knowing that someone out here believes on what you guys could have become with your other special talents.
