Grateful.
This is what actress Kim Chiu reiterated in her recent post as she celebrated her 17th year in the entertainment scene.
In a lengthy post, Kim expressed gratitude for all the opportunities that were given to her for almost two decades.
She related: "When I entered showbiz, I had no weapon in my pocket. All I have is my dream to provide for myself and especially for my family."
"In a few days, I’ll be a year older plus 17 years in showbiz. Looking back, I am just extremely grateful, most especially to my #ASAP FAMILY. They’ve been with me since day one, the time that I don’t know how to perform on stage; shy girl, often nervous," she added.
According to her, there was a time she asked herself: "Why are they giving me this opportunity even if I messed up a lot??? Should I give up my dream to provide?"
Then suddenly, a thought came to her mind, relating that even if she didn’t know how to do all those stuff meant to entertain viewers, the management believed in her.
"Seeing my supporters smiling while I was performing made me know the purpose of why I was here," she said.
"Whenever I accomplish a performance, I get giddy and excited."
She then thanked her family on the Sunday musical-variety show for allowing her the "confidence" she now posseses.
"Thank you for not giving up on me and showing me your support and love," Kim added. "Truly ASAP IS A FAMILY!!!!FAMILY that sees you grow and celebrates with you and is always proud of what you have become. THANK YOU ASAP; performer/host KIM CHIU will not be here without you."
"Indeed advance HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! #forevergrateful #giftofFAMILY," the actress, who will be 32 on April 19, ended.
