-ALORA-
(3rd Week of December 1996)
Finally, December. My favorite month of the year. Not just because of my birthday, but Christmas. Just thinking about it makes me excited of what Christmas will give us this year. Either happy memories or horrendous ones. I have both. I remember the time I fell while trying to place the star on top of the Christmas tree. That is a horrendous one. A happy one is just simply spending time with my family while eating our Noche Buena.
While daydreaming about all the things that could happen, i got a letter from my management. The letter says something about a concert this Christmas. Sounds interesting.
Hello Fellow Artists!
We are inviting you all to the first ever Christmas music concert, Musically Christmas-
I didn't even finish the letter but I accepted it right away. Like, a Christmas concert?! It's two of my most favorite things in the world combined! I don't care who are invited too. I'm going no matter what.
I asked my management more details about the concert. It'll be on December 23 and rehearsals on 21-22. We also discussed my set list and the Christmas songs I'll be singing. Just thinking about it makes me so excited!
"Kuya Producer, may I speak to Alora for a minute" My dad said as he stepped in.
Politics again?
"Alora, I have a favor to ask." Dad said seriously.
"Ano po?" I asked.
"I know you wanted to do it for a while and I think ito na ang tamang panahon para sa'yo. Can you help my team plan our rallies?" My dad asked
Oh no. This has also been my dream for years. I know I hate politics, but it's for my dad though.
"Uhm dad, ano kasi eh. May concert yung mga music artists at baka ma busy ako this December." I said nervously.
"Ahh, kaya pala. It's alright dear. Maybe you matured enough and decided to continue with your dream plan." He said reassuringly.
"Hindi ba, hassle sa inyo?" I asked.
"No, it's not. I'll get someone else. Focus on what you are doing right now." He replied
He then left the room, leaving me feel bad. I always asked him during my childhood when can I actually help him with his political projects. Due to my jealousy towards my siblings. He knew I was too young. And, I should've realized too. The only thing I can do for politics is to help my dad. But, I guess I can't do anything anymore. Maybe, it's for the better. Maybe, my dad can do it without me.
Let's go to the brighter side. I'll be performing in a Christmas concert soon! Just focus on that. Besides, my dad could still win as president without me right?
I suddenly got curious too, who are actually going to that concert? Let me continue reading that letter.
Andrew E., Jaya, Eraserheads, Prettier Than Pink, Side A, Archie Pascual-
Wait, ARCHIE PASCUAL? THE ARCHIE PASCUAL I KNOW? It's alright, it's alright. I can still decline right? I can't. I CAN'T.
Calm down, Archie being present in that concert won't be that irritating right? No, seeing his face is already irritating. Just, don't mind him Alora alright? Positivity, POSITIVITY.
Why does he have to be part of everything? He isn't part of my career. Are we really destined to be rivals?
