Taking Inspiration From Monica



I was feeling a bit discouraged about my weight (183 pounds, and, if anything, going up). So I took inspiration about weight from my Filipino Doppelganger, Marc Valdez, also known as "Monica" (I have two Facebook friends in the Philippines who may have believed, at least initially, that I was this particular Marc Valdez):


Marc Valdez ….known in the entertainment industry as MONICA VALDEZ, mesmerized music lovers with her kind of music that makes her a Diva of her own. An International Performing Artist, T.V and stage personality, she earned for herself a niche in the music industry, as soul, pop and jazz belter and one of the most in demand stand–up comediennes in the Philippines today. ....
“I believe each and every person is gifted with his/her own talent. It is up for that person to discover and cultivate it for him/her to succeed in life” a bottom line of Monica Valdez enhancing herself, her knowledge in her own craft- MUSIC.
...This pretty and charming diva soon invaded the much awaited opportunity to show her talent and gained admiration of varied audiences in the land of the Rising Sun. After winning a competition in GMA Channel 7 Eat Bulaga’s 1995 Super Sireyna impersonating actress MONICA HERRERA, she went to Japan, and captured the hearts of her audience. With her admirable and impressive performance, this Diva easily won first prize at the Tokyo Music Festival held at Kids Box, which sponsored the Search for Singing Star- a talent and beauty contest, in KINSICHO, TOKYO JAPAN.

...It was a very remarkable evening, for she was asked to join a comedy singing group The FATLUCK, which made her more busy in her career, getting more bookings, guestings, and appearances in TV shows and corporate socials functions in town.

...For more than two years she was back in Japan to finish her remaining contract, after which was back again in the Philippines with another FAT groups like The Heavy Weights, SJ Divas and FAT4. No wonder, you hear it! They are all fat:
“I don’t regret being fat, because I find this a blessing and it gave me big break in my career, as it showered blessings too for these groups. The groups are very interactive with their audience, as well as positively reciprocating their demands for entertainment, anchored on ultimate High, zestful Comedy done in the spirit of fun and good music.
...It isn’t just her charming Aura, Voluptuous size, powerful voice and stunning stage persona that have gained for her a consensus, that this MONICA VALDEZ, is the one of the Country’s most important Divas.
