Chapter 6 

Model 

When I learn about what I want in life or my dream I am determine that I will do everything just to pursue that dream and now that I am close to that I can't help but to be happy. Nang makauwi ako ng pilipinas talagang matinding adjustments ang ginawa ko dahil bukod sa hindi naman ako pamilyar sa mga lugar ang dami ko pang kailangan asikasuhin. 

I need to meet Quinn and Bethany they are the one who call me to be a model of their agency pwede naman talaga akong tumanggi sa kanila dahil nga hindi naman sila katulad ng ibang agency ngayon but the way they talk to me and gave me encouraging words I can't help but to be fond of them. 

Gusto ko lang naman kasi talaga ng mga taong susuporta sa'kin and they make me feel that at nang inalok nila ako noon parang nagkaroon na din ako ng kaibigan kahit na hindi naman ako ganun ka-friendly na tao. 

They are not just treating me as their model but also as their friend and I can't help but to be thankful of that. They wait for me hanggang sa makauwi ako dito sa pilipinas. 

Before meeting them inayo ko muna ang mga kailangan kong ayusin katulad na lang ng mga requirements ko sa school because Mom enrolled me in UP Diliman kung saan malapit yung condo unit ko na nabili niya. I'm gonna take Bachelor of Arts in Film because learning about that makes me curios and also I also want to try acting in the future if ever. 

"The truth is we are desperate, we are just starting at hindi namin alam paano mag-uumpisa pero ng makita ka namin pakiramdam namin ikaw na talaga." Quinn said and I smile at her. 

I try to audition to some agency and send my profiles to them pero naunahan na akong icontact nila Quinn bago pa man may tumawag sa'kin it's not that I am expecting some agancy will call me though. 

"I am actually happy that you did see something in me. Thank you for that." I told them and they both smile at me. 

I already sign a contract with them dahil yun naman talaga ang napag-usapan once I get home I will sign a contract.  It's an 7 years contract and it's my choice kung irerenew ko pa yun after that ends. Sinama na nila yung dalawang taon na nagsimula ako kasama sila that was when I am still 17 when I start having a small endorsements.

Hindi pa ganun kadami ang artist at model ng agency nila Quinn that is why they are really focus mostly to me. 

"Ito na yung first big endorsement mo!" Quinn said and hug me. Galing akong school at tinawagan nila ako na magpunta after ng class ko dahil may balita daw sila 

"Really?" I ask at tumango naman siya doon kasabay ng pagdating ni Bethany at mabilis akong niyakap kaya natawa na lang ako. It's been 6 months since I came here at nakakayanan ko pa naman na pagsabayin ang pag-aaral ko because they also understand na gusto ko din naman makagraduate. 

They told me na sign na lang ng contract ang kailangan kong gawin and the endorsement is mine but I didn't know that endorsement will lead me to something big. After malabas ng endorsement na yun ang daming ng tumawag sa'kin asking me to be their endorser and model at hinayaan ko na lang sila Quinn doon but they are still asking me kung tatanggapin ko ba o hindi. 

For the past years nakakayanan ko naman na pagsabayin ang pag-aaral ko ng Film sa UP kasabay ng pagiging model ko dahil sila Quinn na talaga ang nagaadjust for me and I am actually thankful for that dahil sa nakalipas din naman na dalawang taon mas lalong umaangat yung carreer ko kahit na focus din ako sa pag-aaral ko. 

It's exhausting but I am enjoying everything. Yun naman kasi talaga ang gusto kong mangyari yung alam ko na napapagod ako but still I am enjoying everything hindi yung pinapagod ko yung sarili ko at pinipilit ang sarili ko na gawin ang isang bagay dahil mas nakakawalang gana yun at nakakapagod.
