It's their Talent Portion already. After this, Long Gown Competition na. Shit, I'm going to serenade them na!
I am the who's tasked here. Ang hirap din pala. Kasi ang hirap din i-approach ng mga Professor's. I mean, nahihiya akong i-approach sila kasi few of them are so intimidating.
Maya-maya pa'y natapos na ang apat, at si Professor Kat. The living barbie doll. Wearing her signature sweet smile. She looks like Miss Universe - Russia. Catriona Gray's batch.
"Hey, Prof! You're up next! Good luck!" I nicely said. Ginawaran naman ako nito ng napakatamis na ngiti.
"Thanks, Miss Bautista!"
I think she's going to dance ballet based on her outfit. Well, she made a good decision. Living barbie naman kasi kaya bagay talaga sa kaniya ang gagawin niya talent ngayon.
Nasa kalagitnaan na ng performance si Prof. Kat kaya bumalik na ako ng backstage to aware candidate number six.
I looked for Professor Shaharra and found her na nasa dressing room pa rin. Wearing her headphones kaya siguro hindi niya ako narinig kanina. She's wearing Moana's costume. Nakalugay ang mahabang kulot niyang buhok. Good choice again! I think she's going to sung one of Moana's song in the movie Moana. Bagay na bagay kasi nga kayumanggi ang balat niya. Ang cute ng cheeks niya, gosh! Sarap pisilin!
"Miss Sha. You're up next. Patapos na rin po si Miss Kat. You should prepare." Saad ko sabay ngiti. Buti't approachable din pala siya. Sabay kaming pumunta sa backstage.
Napatingin ako kay Prof. Shaharra ng malakas itong napabuntong hininga. I guess she's a bit nervous. Kaya kinuha ko ang atensyon nito to cheer her up.
"Miss, don't be nervous. You got this. Tiwala lang. Good luck!" And I gently tapped her shoulders that made her smile. Arggg, ang cute ng cheeks niya.
"Thanks, Zielle!" I smiled.
"Wow! That was fantastic! One of the best live performance I ever witnessed. I didn't know our might living barbie doll Professor can blow our minds by her performance, huh. Right, partner?" ate Vien commented. One of the emcee's and one of our clubmates. Masscom student ba naman.
"You're right, partner. Indeed a great performance. That took my sanity away!" kuya Theo replied. He's gay, alright. Masscom student rin and our clubmate.
"Next is, from College of Hotel and Restaurant Management. Let's give a round of applause for..." Panimula ni ate Vien.
"Professor Shaharra Delni Filton!" Sabay na bigkas nila as the crowd started cheering, screaming, and whistling. Hindi nga lang gaano ka rami tulad ng kay Miss Natalia kanina.
The light turned off. And then suddenly, it turned dimlight. The spotlight turned to Miss Sha who's standing effortlessly while her bent down.
As on cue, the music started right after she raised her head.
"I've been staring at the edge of the water
'Long as I can remember
Never really knowing why..."
As the crowd became wild. Panimula pa lang iyan! Her voice is good. Magka-boses na magkaboses sila ni Moana.
"I wish I could be the perfect daughter
But I come back to the water
No matter how hard I try
Every turn I take
Every trail I track
Every path I make
Every road leads back
To the place I know where I cannot go
Where I long to be
