"CAN you please give me advice on how to improve my self-confidence?" a freshman caller asked on the other line.
It was one of the frequently asked questions to me. Automatically the answer quickly popped in my head. An automated answer.
"Because I really want to be like you, Miss Lou." Until she added that.
I tried to maintain my smile dahil sa camera na nakatutok sa'kin. And oh, it's recording and streaming live on Our Daily Bird's social media channels.
"Oh, you see, I believe that confidence can be found in the authenticity of your personality. It simple as it sounds but you just gotta be yourself."
Typical advice.
"That's really nice, thank you so much po! I'll keep in mind that." And it seems to work all the time.
"Thank you also for calling! Bye!" I cheerfully answered back.
Matapos maputol ang linya ng huling caller sa program ko ay tumingin ako sa camera.
"Wow, I can't believe we're done. I'd like to thank you, guys, for tuning with us for today and see you again next week. Don't worry, guys, you can always reach out to me on my social media channels if you got any questions or seeking inspiration, just follow and subscribe! This is Louella Starling, thank you for supporting Our Daily Bird. Have a great day, Falcons!"
After flashing a bright smile and waving to the audience, the camera stopped recording and the members all clapped on the other side of the glass window.
Hinubad ko 'yung headphones na nakasuot sa'kin at lumayo sa mic. Tumayo ako at saka lumabas ng live room. Sinalubong nila ako ng pagbati.
I think I did a good job despite almost having an anxiety attack this morning.
"Impressive as always," bati ni Rhian, ang president ng Our Daily Bird, ang broadcasting club ng university. "We'll just wire transfer your TF. Thank you so much for hosting every Wednesday."
"No problem," maikling sagot ko. Inabutan ako ng isang member ng isang bottled water na kaagad ko namang ininom.
"Hulog ka ng langit, Louella. Simula nang masama ka sa livestream mas dumami ang callers at viewers namin," pahabol naman ng isa pang senior member.
"Of course, maraming stressed students ngayon ang nangangailangan ng advice ni Lou," sabi ni Rhian at tinapik pa ako sa balikat.
I just shyly smiled while being showered by their compliments. Hindi ko na nga mabilang kung ilang beses akong nagpasalamat. I don't know what to answer aside from a simple 'thank you'.
