I went to see my doctor today... he's instructed me to go on complete vocal rest for a while. I've got laryngitis and pharyngitis, pre-nodules on and inflammation of my vocal chords, not to mention coughing up loads of mucus. So, it is with deep regret and sadness that I have to postpone my Bacolod concert.
Rats.
I guess this is God's way to make me rest. I've been running at full throttle these last few weeks, what with packing up our house, going on a cruise and caring for a toddler. My body just decided to shut down, forcing me to stay put and rest. And rest is what I shall do.
I'm sorry to my fans in Bacolod, but we shall reschedule the show for January 26.
Haaaaaay, I hate being silent.

That's too bad. But yeah like you said, better not force it or it might get worse. Take care of yourself! ^_^
awww... get well soon... looking forward to your HK concert!
get well soon! can i ask about your iloilo concert? will the plan still push through with the Jan 19 date? thanks!
That's too bad. But your health is more important. We are praying for your complete recovery.
hi ! would like to ask if iloilo's concert will push through? get well soon :)
I just had a bout with laryngitis right before Christmas. i was also ordered to go on complete voice rest by my doc for 3 days. I wasn't even allowed to whisper. I bought a Winnie the Pooh magnetic sketch toy thing for 179 pesos and it was a Godsend! I sorely needed it because I had all sorts of meetings for my church on the sunday and lots of work stuff to do on the Monday. Plus that Monday was also Gabe's surprise bday party. The band performed, but with the first time ever, no second voice from me.
Get well soon! :)
Happy New Year and welcome for the year 2008. Take it easy and enjoy your performance. JMJ
Ganyan talaga, what would bacolod rather have anyway? I'm sure they'll be thrilled by your mere presence, but it goes without saying, when they hear you sing live, aaayyy, heaven, kaya, pagaling ka, bacolod will wait. ;-)
Get well soon. Take care and relax..
Get well soon!
Tea can be soothing! Drink some!
Pagaling ka Lea!
get well soon lea...bacolod can wait for u...if we have waited for several years why not wait for a few more days right!!! See u soon!!! Palangga ka namon
Bob, where did you get that Winnie the Pooh sketch toy thing? If nothing else, it sounds like the most precious and cute thing to give my daughter.
Feel better Lea, rest up and you will blow the audience away on the 26th
I wish you a speedy recovery.
Hope you feel better soon.
Have you moved back to California?
Thanks, everyone, for your well wishes for my recovery.
Oy, the headcold got worse? Yes, pls. get lots of rest. The concert can wait. I'll pray for your quick recovery.
Our prayers for your quick recovery.
How about Nic, is she doing better?

By the way, do you have speech-generation software? You might find it helpful to get your laptop to talk when you can't. There's probably something at download.com.
Get well soon Lea. I have a really bad headcold also but I am not a singer so it doesn't matter if I lose my voice. My co-workers will probably be overjoyed if I lose my voice. I tend to talk alot during work. LoL
I got it in Toy Kingdom in Power Plant. They have plenty of different brands and sizes there. I just got the cheapest one. :)
Buy it, use it while you have your laryngitis, then give to your daughter when you get your voice back. :)
I'll see what's available here in Alabang. Right now I've been using my Treo and old fashioned pen and paper to communicate. Whatever works!
I'm sure Bacolod will be waiting for you... Most especially the Bacolod Chicken... Yummy! Grabe sarap sobra doon. Don't forget to order the Inihaw native chicken...hehe... Get well soon....
It's sad to hear the world has to survive a couple of weeks without your unrivaled singing, and I'll continue to pray for your speedy & full recovery. WebMD has some advice through this link - http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/laryngitis-home-treatment. Rest and take care.
Take care manang! Get well soon.
it is God's way indeed to make you silent and rest:) get well soon.
I looked around a bit on the Internet. Since you're a Mac person and I'm a PC person, there wasn't much speech-generation software I could look at that you could use too. The one thing I found is Cepstral, which works fairly well, as long as you don't ask it to say your name. It's free as nagware, $30 for a license.
Ohhhh No!!! Get well soon!
Get plenty of rest Lea! Many prayers for your speedy recovery. Everyone seems to be getting sick this time of year. I'm suffering from a bad cold now, too... coughing my lungs out! Get well soon! :)
Get well soon!rest,rest,rest....u deserves loads of rest bosing!Miss u all.I'm gonna miss the concerts too. Hoping for u speed recovery.Mwah!
hello, manang. we've been anticipating your concert here in bacolod. i just heard today that it will be cancelled and since i really wanted to confirm if it were true, i tried to check out your blog. just would like to assure you that though we were quite disheartened with the news, your fans here in bacolod will be waiting for you.=) rest and get well soon po.

Skip and Loretta
just read this now.. i hope it's nothing serious, esp. those pre-nodules. sounds scary. i think the weather is also to blame. i got sick during the holidays, and i was just here in the philippines unlike you. i also blame global warming for the crazy weather, hay...
get well and at least enjoy your rest. :) take care!
Be well Lea, everyone's looking-forward to that =)
Too bad, but your health is more important. We can wait. And if your Jan. 19 Iloilo concert will push through, we'll watch you there. That is, if tickets are not yet sold out. =)
Hope you feel better soon! Sounds pretty nasty what you've got. Can't wait to see you in HK in Feb!
awww... get well soon miss Lea... Prayers for your health... and surely, You can have the best concert parin in Bacolod!!!! yey!!!
Get well soon. Almost everyone I see around has cough & colds. I also have one. Aren't you advised to take antibiotic? You take care always!
