"Okay," panimula ni Elli. "So magsasabi na kaming judges ng aming comments regarding sa performance mo and we will start with Eimiery."

"Well... Hindi ko ineexpect na kakabahan ka ng sobra in your first try," she casually said " Pero you actually did well sa second take mo kaso nga lang the acting here is still kind of raw and forced pero you really embodied naman the characteristic of Ethan Gonzales."

lumingon na ito sa katabi nya na si Yohan. Kinabahan ako dahil sya na ang magsasalita.

I felt bad kasi hindi ko na perfect 'yung role ko kahit tinunulngan na nya ako.

Hindi ako makapaniwala na ang pag-aacting ang sisira sa clean and perfect record ko.

"You did very well," he smiled "I can clearly see it from day one na may potential ka sa larangan ng pag-acting, syempre this is your first time doing it kasi hindi naman talaga ito kung saan ka magaling. Definetly needs some improvement pero you got the idea of the Ethan Gonzales na gusto namin iportray," tumungo-tungo sya at tinawag si Santino pagkatapos.

Ngumisi ito habang binabasa ang mga sinulat nya sa papel.

"You can't have them all," he glared. "Yes, you are The Intelligent King, the most brilliant student here in SJU pero wala kang talent pag dating sa acting."

Sinabi nya 'yon straightforward at lahat ng tao na asa room ay napatingin sa kanya. Tinignan ko lang sya ng harapan kung paano rin nya ako titigan, kailangan hindi ko pakita 'yung nararamdaman ko.

"It's really sad to be honest, Akala mo lahat ng bagay makukuha mo pero hindi, you aren't perfect, but you act as if you are. Dapat hindi mo na tinake 'tong audition kasi you're becoming a joke and at the same time mocking the characters of the book."

He gently scratches his earlobe and think highly of himself, looking at me like I'm sort of a peasant.

"Do me a favor will you?" he asked mockingly. "Go back sitting like a king and stop acting."

I clenched my fist so hard na parang malapit na itong gumalaw upang sapakin si Santino. Pero kailangan ko mag relax dahil asa harap ko si Yohan.

That's why I just accepted his punch in my guts and the way he tramples on my pride.

"Elli," tawag ni Santino kay direk para sya naman ang magbigay ng kumento.

"Well, I actually kinda agree to Santino in some points," lahat naman ngayon ng atensyon ay napunta sa kanya. "Well sa totoo lang you're acting skill are non-existent but you have room for improvement sa larangan na ito. Pero napansin ko na you actually study the role from his nature, his personality at kung paano kumilos 'yung character. Based sa performance mo sa screen test kanina at ngayon."

He played his pen with his fingers.

"Your acting skills is actually from a text book. You follow simple rules and study them; you don't give them their own take. Ginagamapanan mo 'yung role as the exact way the characters act in the book, which is unique in its own right and amusing at the same time for me."

Hindi ko alam kung tatangapin ko ba sya as a good thing or not kaya hindi na lang din ako kumibo at hinintay ang final verdict nilang apat kung nakuha ko ba 'yung role o hindi.

To be honest alam ko naman na 'yung results eh base palang sa mga critcism na nakukuha ko.

I'll just have to apoligze to Eric and Yohan that I did my best pero at the end hindi ko parin talaga na kuha 'yung role.

Pinag hintay kaming dalawa na nag audition habang nag-uusap ang apat kung sino sa amin ang makakahua para sa role ni Ethan Gonzales.

Eric, yet again gave me such a comforting word pero unting-unti na itong nagiging poisnous sa akin.
