Daniel Padilla's Birthday Concert at the Big Dome and more!

Daniel "DJ" Padilla, the phenomenal young actor/ heartthrob in today's generation. Creating big waves in local showbiz industry with another teen star, the beautiful face, Kathryn Bernardo. ABS-CBN takes pride in these two unique and undeniably famous young stars of today with their tandem being tagged as "KathNiel." Seems like Daniel really got his good looks, charisma and talent from his family, the Padilla clan. 

DJ is like the boy in every girl's dream. Actually he had also captured the hearts of the women in all generation, that's why I really feel lucky enough having known him personally and taking the chance to know him more. In my four times of meeting up with him, DJ is very much consistent with his being so cool and humble. At his very tender age, he speaks of the truth, his words were spoken out from his heart and mind. I may say that his simple, candid and cool attitude really embeded him where he is right now. Just like his Uncle Robin Padilla, he is indeed a "man of few words," with a powerful and irresistible appeal, the "charisma" that captivates almost everyone. 

During one of my up close interviews with DJ, he narrated to me that when he guested in Vice Ganda's "Gandang Gabi Vice," show, in ABS-CBN, he was asked to sing. And from then on, DJ wasn't only known as an actor but as a young singer who had launched two albums already. The first one, was his self-titled album released just last year under Star Records and that debut album earned a double platinum award. Following the success of his first album, "DJP," Daniel's second album was released early this month that was selling like a "hot cake!" Would you believe, after its release, it already garnered a double platinum status having sold 40,000 copies in just two days! Whoaaa! The funky, upbeat and catchy "Nasa Iyo Na Ang Lahat," is also included in his second album, DJ's entry to the "2013 Himig Handog: P-Pop Love Songs" Competition. 

Last April 26, Daniel had turned 18, and during his birthday concert blog conference with us, he vowed to visit ChildHope Asia Philippines. For DJ, having his first major concert is a big leap in his career. According to him, before, he had never imagined singing in front of many people. He was so excited to share the concept of his birthday concert most especially the formation of the stage. 

In all his busy schedules, appointments, engagements and everything, here's what DJ has to say to his fellow teeners, followers and supporters, "Basta huwag lang iisipin 'yung trabaho, basta isipin mo lang, napapagod ka pero may nagagawa kang maayos, di'ba, ineenjoy mo at the same time, huwag lang trabaho ng trabaho. Kasi dun ka maiinis eh, dun ka magsasawa, dun ka maba-bad trip, dun ka aayaw kapag iniisip mo na trabaho lang 'yung ginagawa mo, isipin mo parati na kahit nagtatrabaho ka, nag-eenjoy ka, may nagagawa kang mabuti." 

After having acquired a new car for himself, a 2013 Dodge Challenger, DJ admitted that, he's now planning to put up a house for his family. Being an adventurous person, he said, "Financially, syempre planado 'yan. Di naman pwedeng may pera ako ngayon, gastusin ko agad, ano ang mangyayari bukas? Di naman pwede 'yung ganun, kasi pag sa buhay ko, parang gusto ko s'yang gawing adventure, ayoko ng planado." 

Kathryn Bernardo will be Daniel's special guest in his Birthday Concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum today, April 30, 2013. To all "KathNiel" followers and supporters, don't miss this out, better be there! :))

More DJ trivias: 

This summer season, DJ admitted taking shower four times a day to be refreshed. Aside from his Uncle Robin Padilla, another great persona for him that he wanted to follow and look up to is the late Fernando Poe Jr. (FPJ), which he felt so regretful for not having met him before personally. He also wishes to meet his idol and another source of inspiration, Paul McArtney. DJ's fave Beatles song is "Something." He prefers cold softdrinks rather than water. 

In his present status in life, was there anything that he wanted to ask for? "Sana dire-diretso lang 'to. Huwag namang hanggang ngayon lang, sana hanggang matagal na matagal pa. Huwag biglang tumigil," he answered.
