My baby no. 1 didn't get into the Finals of Teenage Icon & it is not for the lack of her Singing abilities
Now before you even start sniggering Thinking I would always Sing my babies' praises
Let me tell you She has a nice set of pipes in her Yup, cross my heart wish to die
But for whatever reasons She was not in Many of the semi-finalists were equally shocked That my baby was not the final 16.
She's taking it better than I am But I can't help it Not when I saw the look of ghast on the face(s) of some of the judges last night.
She's seeing God's hand in it Bless her heart and I can only be but proud of her
As I thanked the judges I told them I don't understand the whys but it doesn't matter for my daughter is not Defined by a competition & I believe she has learnt things & Gained experience in this event.
One thing that warmed my heart Is that this contestant Helped my baby to make New friends and I think I just got myself another God-son ;p
It is always tough to decide between being realistic and to chase after your dream
How I wish everyone can do the work they really really love
Those of you out there who are doing what you really love You are mightily blessed
I am not saying I am not happy with what I am doing now but to be able to follow your calling follow your heart that's really a privilege.
My baby no. 1 has always wanted to sing How do I balance Encouragement And Realism?
I would not want My children to suffer similar "what ifs" as I did
I have always believed that If you have passion for Something You will put Your whole heart to it and strive for the very very best that you could
But what if your best Is not enough especially in the cut throat world of showbizz industry?
These are my fears and yes I do voice them because I don't want her to go into anything with tinted spectacles
But to dash Her dreams anyone's dreams except if they are totally unrealistic is cruel and demoralising
I am pleased for my baby No. 1 for getting into the semi finals of teenage icon for the rest of her journey all i can do is pray
That if this is the path Our Good Lord's planned for her Then the Lord's wisdom I need to help her steer her along the straight and narrow and bring out the best she has in her.
For my baby no. 2 well darling your desire to be an author a photographer is noted and fear not you will always have my support whole-heartedly just like your sister does.
