NEVER STOPS LEARNING. For a lady who holds the distinction of being the only Pinay to fill the 6,300-seater Shrine Auditorium seven times, does she still ask herself—where am I now as a singer?

She replied, "Yeah, always...Also as an actress, also as a wife, also as a mother, and also as a student...[I'm on] L.O.A. [Leave of Absence] sa dami ng pinagkakaabalahan. I think when you stop asking that question, you stop growing, and that's the beginning of an end...You never give up, and you never stop learning."

Sharon has been singing for more than three decades. Does competition still figure in her vocabulary?

"The singers who aspire to be good and those who just keep on getting better earn my admiration. Iba-iba naman kasi ng istilo at genre," she said.

 She's aware that her singing style is for "easy listening," and the Megastar is not at all insecure about the "birit boses" of the other singers. "I love to sing, and I always sing from the heart," she stated.

Lastly, is there still drama in her personal life?

"Wala nang drama... Medyo bored na nga ako, e, kaya nagpapapayat na ako para magkagulo naman ng konti," she quipped, then related:

"My children, my family, they make me happy. The best time of the day is when I wake up. Gustung-gusto ko yung tatlong anak ko dinadaganan ako, 'tapos si Miguel [her adopted son] nakikisali pa. My favorite time is when we're all together."

And her megadrama for her concert?

"I want to make my audience as happy as, or much happier than, the last time," she assured.
