Got it from Mariko's tumblr

i almost cried when i watched this video. it’s not the first time i heard this song, but hearing it being sung by the then 16 year old Charice, singing it to her mother who raised her up, it really touched me. ‘cos if you truly knew their story. About how her abusive father left the family, and she had to start singing at the age of 7 just so the family could afford to put food on the table, how they struggled through all that.

she’s 18! MY age. and yet her voice is as powerful as powerhouses like Mariah Carey and Celine Dion! she makes me SO envious i swear.

I didn’t even know she was the one who sang “Pyramid”, the song that’s been playing over the radio. It’s already on the top 100 on itunes mind you!
