Everything in our career went smoothly. More endorsements, more magazine covers, more projects. Work has never been this always fun because of DJ. He always lightens up the mood on the set. Always making jokes and all. Most of the crew are fond of him especially Direk Cathy. They always hang out and tease each other. Direk Cathy treats us as her own children and acts like our mom. She scolds us when we're not serious every time she's making us do something. She's strict but she's still fun to be with. She just wants us to take our work seriously.
Our show has been airing for almost 6 months already and we are close to the end. Everyone was sad but we can't do anything about it. Change is inevitable and there are still more shows that need to be aired so we need to be replaced.
I've finished my first semester and I'm more than happy for what I accomplished. I'm just sad that I have to stop schooling again because of our really busy schedule. No matter how much I really want to continue it, my schedule doesn't permit. There's nothing I can do about it anymore. But I promised myself that I'm still gonna go back once my schedule loosens up.
I'm also starting to plan for my debut. We are starting to plan it already even though it's months away. It has a lot of preparation so we need to start right away. I can't believe I'm already gonna be 18! I'm so old! Being 18 is both scary and exciting. Scary because I have more responsibilities to do now and exciting because I'm now legal to do a lot of things. I'm now legal to drive! I can have my own driving license. Yay! I'm mentally doing a happy dance! Once I get my own license, I'm gonna buy my own car! That's for sure! No one can stop me. Even DJ! I've already planned this so there's no backing out. DJ doesn't allow me to drive actually. He's scared that I might met an accident. He said that I'm clumsy and always on panic mode. I didn't argue about that because it's true anyway. But until when will I be afraid of these fears? I'm old enough to do what I want. I want to explore. I want to learn a lot more things. I sometimes ask Kuya Mar's help to teach me how to drive. But seldom, DJ teaches me. Not that he doesn't trust Kuya Mar but, he's more ensured if he's with me when I'm driving. He said that it gives him the peace of mind.
We're on our way to the Power Plant mall. I'm with Ate Shannen, my brother's girlfriend and Kuya Mar. I'm the one driving the car while Kuya Mar's on the shotgun seat. Ate Shannen's on the passenger seat. Ate Shannen and I planned to go malling today since it's my rest day. So I took it as a chance to test my driving skills.
"Turn the steering wheel to the left slowly." Kuya Mar instructed. I did what as I've been told.
"Oops, not that fast Kathryn." He said. I controlled the steering wheel and turned it to the left more slower than what I did before.
"Yay! I did it!" I chanted as soon as I'm done parking the car.
"Thank God! I thought I'm gonna die because of heart attack! You scared us, Kath!" Ate Shannen exhaled a deep breath.
I pouted, "Atleast I did it, right? Did I improve Kuya Mar?" I grinned while waiting for his answer.
"Uhh, maybe 5 percent." He answered.
Ate Shannen chuckled with his answer. I frowned, "Ouch! You're breaking my heart! 5 percent? That low?"
"Still needs more improvement." He shrugged.
"Psh! Maybe because you're not a good teacher." I stuck my tongue out.
"Hey! Don't blame it on me. I've been teaching you well and patiently. You're just not a good listener and student."
"I'm a good student! I just need more practice." I defended.
"If that so, how come DJ's always ranting every time he's done teaching you to drive?" Ate Shannen smirked.
