"Again! Sabay-sabay dapat. Clarence, you're being too fast on your movements kaya nauuna ka. Try to calm yourself so your movements wouldn't be stiff too." Sigaw ko. Pare-parehas na nakayuko at mga hingal habang magkakatabi.

Napailing ako habang hinihilot ang noo ko dahil sa pananakit nito. Kanina pa akong nandito sa kanila para imonitor sila at hanggang ngayon, hindi pa naaayos ang pagkakasabay-sabay nila.

Hindi ito maganda.

"Basty, more swag!" hiyaw ko habang nagala at pinapanood sila. I supervise through the mirror until they finished the run of their song. I sighed before facing them. "Practice more on the transition before the bridge of the song, okay? Gusto ko i-hit niyo yung beat before the beat drop na magc-collapse kayo at tatayo si Lim before he sang the bridge. Basty, nasa unahan ka so make sure you practiced that and kept that in mind. Koen, monitor your members at ipakita niyo sakin ang gusto ko bukas mismo. Clean the dance dahil malapit na kayong magdebut." paalala ko kaya nagtanguan naman sila bago nagpasalamat sakin.

I dismissed them and they began to get their stuff. Nanatili naman akong nakatayo at pinapanood ang recording ng practice kanina. I heard the door of the Practice Room opened kaya I thought some of them already went out.

"D..D-Da, D-Da-Daa" my heart skipped a beat when a baby voice echoed sa loob ng kwarto. Nahiwalay ang atensyon ko sa ipad na hawak ko at mabilis na lumingon sa may pinto dahil hindi lang basta baby voice ang narinig ko. It's My Acera.. with My North.

"Baby" Bati ko sa bunso ko at mabilis na naglakad sa mga anak ko. North is guiding acera to walk at nautay pa lang ito ng hakbang. Her whole tiny fist are holding her kuya's index finger na doon kumukuha ng balanse para makapaglakad. 

When My daugther saw me walking to her ay umirit pa ito na animo'y excited talaga. "A-aa.. Ap" utal nitong sambit at tinaas ang kamay para magpakarga. North handed me Acera's hand at binuhat ko na ito so she immediately hug my neck at inihilig ang ulo niya sa balikat ko.

Dada's little princess..

"Saan ka ngayon pupunta, Kuya?" Tanong ko sa kanya. He was playing with his sister. 

"Sa Vocal room, Dad. Kay Tito Oli yung class ko ngayon." sagot niya kaya napatango ako.

If Nezer were just here too, pare-parehas kaming trainor dito maliban kay Jiro. I missed it. The days na bata pa at puro kami asaran as we practice for the monthly evaluation.. tapos headache ko pa non si Jiro kasi hilig nitong lumabas at mag-good time. Pero ngayon iba na.
