I got ready as much as I can since kasama ako sa line up ng magpeperform na artists sa ASAP California.
When I got a text from Direk Lauren a week ago, halos ayokong maniwala kasi I wasn't that very well known pa kahit na some of my songs were trending.

Kaya given the privilege to perform on the same stage with well known celebrities is very new to me.
*Day of flight to California*
I made sure that I have everything I needed for the flight especially my Visa and passport before heading off to the airport.
"Excited ka na ba, Y/n?" tanong ni kuya Robi sa'kin while we're in the van, making our way to the airport.
"Oo naman, kuya Rob! Pero kinakabahan din at the same time kasi, you know... first time kong mag perform on a very big stage in front of a very large crowd ever since I debuted as a solo artist."
"Sus! Kayang kaya mo yan. Ikaw pa ba?" he nudged my side, trying to ease up to nervousness I was feeling and I can't help but smile. Ever since I stepped foot in this industry, Kuya Robi has been there for me. Lending help as much as he can, showing me the ropes around the industry and all that typical stuff. Kaya if tatanungin ako kung sino mga pinaka close ko sa industry na to, I wouldn't hesitate to include kuya Robi in that list.
It was around 8:30 PM when we arrived at the airport and as soon as the van door opened, cheers and screams by fans greeted my hearing. Lalong lalo na nung bumaba na ako.
"Y/n, ang ganda mo!" , "Beh ampogi ni Y/n L/n sa malapitan!" , "Tabi, asawa ko yan! Y/n I love you!" , "Congratulations sa achievements mo, ate Y/n!"
Those were just some of the intelligible words I can hear from the people around us and I can't help but feel overwhelmed. I bowed my head and thanked all the people who were there to see us off.
"OMG Ate Y/n! Sabay pala tayo ng flight?" agad akong niyakap ni Jhoanna the moment she saw me and I hugged her back.
"Jho! It's so good to see you! Sorry di ako nakadalaw nung nasa ospital ka ah? Nabusy kami sa shoot ng MV eh. Kamusta ka na?"
"Okay na okay na ako, Ate. Gusto ko na ngang makita yung mga girls eh. Miss ko na sila." nagtawanan naman kami as soon as kumalas kami sa pag yayakapan.
"Sus, miss mo lang si Staku mo eh— ARAY KO NAMAN!" tumawa ako ng malakas when Jhoanna slapped my arm while being a blushing mess.
"Guilty si bading! HAHAHA! Tara na nga at nang maka pag check in na tayo sa loob."
"Gusto ka raw muna mainterview nung TV Patrol! Halika na!" hinila nya ako agad agad kung saan nag hihintay yung TV crew na magiinterview sa akin.

"Y/n, what can you say about being included in the line up para sa ASAP California?" tanong ni kuya MJ.
"It was very overwhelming and heart flattering. Nung tinext ako ni Direk Lau na kasali ako sa line up akala ko nga jinojoke time nya lang ako eh. Tapos kinabukasan pina punta nya ako sa building para sa pag aapprove ng Visa ko so yeah, I'm very very happy to be a part of this show." sagot ko habang nakangiting tumingin sa kanya.
