Loud music filled my ears as I enter the club. People sexily dancing, couples making out with each other at the couch, drunk guys fighting and more.
Kung ito ang unang beses ko'ng pumasok dito I'll definitely be saying jusko po a lot of times now.
Or maybe it will be my dearest mother.
If she's here, she will definitely drag me out of this place or worst won't even let me come here.
But she got no other choice. She wants me to become a beauty queen someday then I have to go in a club just to socialite with famous people, even if I don't like it.
"Uy! Diba siya yung amateur model ng isang unknown brand na naging sikat bigla?"
"Damn, pare! Ang ganda at sexy"
"Omg! Isn't she the one who have badmouth and asap usapan na plastic surgery lang ang mukha niya"
Napabuntong hininga nalang ako ng marinig ang bulong bulungan ng mga taong nasa paligid ko.
Hindi na bago saking pandinig ang mga bulong-bulungan. Wala nang bago. Hindi pa ako sumisikat puno na ng bulungan ang maririnig ko kahit saan man ako pumunta.
People always seem to appreciate how I look — or maybe criticize my face? I don't know, they just won't stop.
A 5'6 tall, fair skin, thin yet hour glass body, full lips, acne clear face, sharp jawline, a natural perfect shaped eyebrows and long eyelashes. A beauty queen in the making.
That is how people defined me.
Or rather, a walking plastic and slut. As viewed by girls.
"Oh! Amara Calliope Lopez, finally! You're here! We've been waiting for you, especially one of the best gown makers in the country, Philip Garcia!" Paunang bati sakin ng agent ko ng ako'y makita. Masayang bineso niya muna ako bago ako iniharap sa isang kalbo at may katandaang lalaki na punong puno ng alahas sa katawan.
Agad akong ngumiti sakanya at nakipag beso.
"Tama ka nga, Georgina! —" tukoy niya sa agent ko na lalaki ngunit binabae sa gabi, "ang ganitong ganda hindi dapat pa'ng closet lang. She should be out facing the world with her chin held high! Her angelic beauty is not something to be miss. For I know, once she got to join the binibining Pilinas project, she'll definitely win it and maybe, she can reach the highest of the highest — Na. Universe Philippines, Georgina!"
Napapalakpak si uncle Georgina sa sunod-sunod na puri ni Mr. Philip.
"Salamat po, Mr" aniya ko, "I'll definitely be happy to join the pageant, it's what me and my mother has always dreamed of."
"Well iha, are you looking for a gown? Kung kasing ganda mo lang naman ang rarampa ng mga gowns ko aba! I can hear the crown shouting and gasping in awe."
"That's very flattering of you, Mr. Philip. I actually enlisted last month as a candidate for Bb. Pilipinas and is eyeing on you as my dress maker ever since that day! I've been wanting to wear your dresses since I was a child."
Mr. Philip is a renowned dress maker and stylist in the country, which also reached international. I've heard he made many famous actresses and actors dresses in some formal events both locally and internationally. That's why I wanted him to make mine for the pageant I'm gonna take part of.
"Aba, hija! I would definitely love to do that, not just because I know your uncle Georgina here bit also because you're a walking none and fame. I'll just contact your uncle for deets."
