You know how it is with us Filipinos, we believe all of us are singers. Videoke is always present in any gathering. And we don’t care if we have the voice or not as long as we can belt it out. And oh, there’s been too many a fights over Frank Sinatra’s My Way during Videoke sessions. The love for music is deeply ingrained in Pinoys, pure-blooded or otherwise. Attest to that the many international talents the country has produced, Lea Salonga, Lani Misalucha, Martin Nievera, Jed Madela, Billy Crawford, Vanessa Hudgens, Apl D Ap, Nicole Scherzinger, and lately Charice Pempengco, to name a few.
Through blog hopping, I stumbled upon the blog of Simply Belle. She’s technically a promdi, having been born in Catanduanes and eventually migrated to the United States. What I’m really excited about is to learn that her daughter Stephanie Mae has released a CD entitled Poker Face. I think it rocks! Great songs and great voice. It won’t be long before she’s going to be a big star also. In fact, she’s already starting to make a name in Payson, Arizona. Go visit Stephanie Mae’s MySpace to listen to her music and go over to her Stephanie Mae’s online store to grab a copy of her CD.

another kababayan that we should be proud of. Hurray for Stephanie Mae!!!
btw, i tagged you. I usually use memes as fillers between sponsored posts. ad sites usually require 2:1 ratio for non-sponsored and sponsored posts.
Steph has another great song…it’s entitled You’re Not There…it’s a slow song and very moving hehe love it too.
I also hope that she’ll make it…she’s really very talented
hey mare…will link you okay
oh my gladita, you made my day. you are the third person who featured Stephanie Mae in the blog. i really really appreciate it. am sure Stephanie Mae will be tickled pink when i share her what you wrote about her. maraming salamat!
she has tons of beautiful songs in her computer that haven’t been recorded.
@Lazarus. Yes, we should be proud. Let’s show our support by buying her CD if it will be available here. Hehehe…Bawal piratahin. I’m not an affiliate marketer here ha. I just appreciate the talent.
@Verns. Yeah, she’s got real talent. It’s not everyday that a singer can write songs too. The melody makes you notice the song but it’s the lyrics that makes you want to listen to it again and again.
OK, linked you up already.
@Belle. Congratulations for having talented and intelligent daughters. I hope Stephanie will make it big. Your scholarship program is also worth mentioning. May you and your family be blessed always so that you will continue to be a blessing to others.
I’ll link your blog here, if it’s ok.

HI Gladita! I hadn’t seen this before — thank you for this blog post!
I’m so glad that I can represent the Fil-Am community.
Hopefully I’ll be able to record a few new songs soon. Until then, best wishes and god bless!

@Stephanie – You’re a good singer so you deserve it. You know you can have a good career here in the Philippines if you want to.
BTW, I just ordered your CD. Can I have it autographed?
Of course! I will check to see if my mom sent it yet… hopefully not yet. Oh and I hope you don’t mind that I linked your blog on my MySpace page. Take care!
