Chapter Fifty-Five: Let's get the party started!
- - -
Shamie's POV
I'm here at the waiting room near where the stage is. Few minutes to go, I'll be on the stage together with the HipHop unit.
Una akong magpe-perform with the Hiphop unit, and I'm waiting for my turn to get on stage na. I'm waiting for the exact timing.
The make-up that Katherine did on my face was not ordinary. And what I meant by that, is because half of my face, mula sa kalahati ng nose ko, pataas hanggang sa forehead ko, may mascara dapat ako. Yung katulad nung sa mga festivals? Ganon.
The original plan was I'm going to wear an exclusive mascara to cover the half of my face. Kaso, syempre, I can't sing comfortably wearing that kind of thing just to cover thr half of my face, so the girls suggested na pintahan nalang yung face ko. Kaya 'yon, para akong nagpa-face painting.
It's not that OA naman yung design ng pagka-ka-pinta nila. The kind of painting that looks cool, and intimidating. Tsaka, bagay sya sa concept ng song for the performance.
"Drink water, Shamie," Alok ni Katherine while handling a bottled water.
"Baka maihi sya," sabi naman ni Erlyn, she looks so tensed.
"Food? Gusto mo food, Shamie?" This time, si Decerie naman yung nag-alok.
"Baka sumakit tyan nya," Erlyn said, again, now, looking nervous.
"Milk, Shamie, gusto mo?" Mars asked this time.
"Baka nga maihi sya, liquid din yan," at syempre, hindi mawawala si Erlyn.
"Chill out guys, you're looking more nervous than I am." Sabi ko sa kanila na medyo natatawa pa ng slight.
"Si Ers lang ah. Chill lang kaya kami," Kath said while continously wiping my face with tissue kasi medyo pinapawisan ako.
"Shamie, backstage na. Let's go," sabi ni Mars and we headed to the backstage.
Some of you guys were probably wondering kung bakit nandito si Mars, since I told you that she's one of the interpreter. Well, maraming trabaho today si Mars. She's an interpreter for a day, and also, she's my personal assistant kasi.
Ganito kasi yan. Si Mars, personal assistant ko. Erlyn is my secretary slash manager na din. Katherine is my make-up artist. And last but not the least, she may be the smallest among us, but she has powerful hands, Decerie, my hair stylists and also the one who's in-charge of my costumes and what to wears. I'm really thankful sa kanilang apat. Sowper thankful.
So, time freeze muna sa chikahan. As of now, nandito na kami sa backstage. Nandito na din ang HipHop unit members. Sam, Walter, Marcus and Van.
"Are you nervous, noona?" Van asked while the staffs were busy checking our microphones. Syempre, we have to make sure it's working, right?
