Just as how she has done in the previous years, Karla Estrada welcomed 2019 with a bright smile and positivity for the year ahead. Estrada recently took to social media to share to her fans a throwback picture of her from 28 years ago when she was just 16 years old and a new face in show business.

“Sweet 16 ng akoy nag umpisa sa showbiz,” Estrada wrote as she shared past and present pictures of her smiling for the camera. “Hanggang ngayon after 28 years na sa industriya ay bungisngis pa rin ako.”

As per Estrada, she has remained steadfast and strong despite all the  challenges that came her way throughout her life because of her positivity and desire to reach her dreams.

“Sa dinami dami ng pag subok ay walang nakatibag dahil bawat taon ang laging layunin at dasal ko ay maging positive lang sa buhay para maabot ko ng matiwasay ang aking mga pangarap,” the mother of popular actor Daniel Padilla said.

She also called on her fans and encouraged them to face the year with a smile and positivity. These, after all, help in making life’s trials easier to get through.

“Harapin nating nakangiti at positibo ang buhay para mas madaling malagpasan ang lahat na darating pang pagsubok.”

“Salamat sa masayahing ako,” Estrada added. “Salamat sa mga pagsubok at higit sa lahat salamat sa buhay na pinili kong maging masaya.”

Being happy, after all, is a choice and it sure goes a long way. Take it from someone who has done so in the past 28 years.  /ra
