My Book and I

Chapter 15

Chapter 15

Maaga akong pinauwi ni Mommy dahil may nag-aantay raw na bisita para sakin.

Pagdating ko sa bahay ay sa hindi ko matandaang pangyayari ay ganito na ako.

Nakatayo sa harapan ni Mommy habang may nag-aayos ng aking buhok at may nag-me-make up sakin.
Hindi ko pa sila kilala but they told me na taga-hollywood raw sila and meron akong pictorial ngayon about sa launching ng aking first book.

Oh diba, parang artista lang.

Sana kung panaginip lang 'to... pwede bang magkatotoo naman. Hmm

Matapos akong ayusan ay tiningnan naman ako ng aking handler. Sabi niya kasi ay siya ang mag-ma-manage sakin so I called her my handler.

Oh men! I'm not really hallucinating. Totoo talaga 'to! This is a dream come true. A big dream come true.

Mariin niyang tiningnan ang akong suot. I was wearing a tube fitted covered with a fashion jacket and I was wearing a maong skirt paired a knee high socks with a rainbow color and a sneakers.

" What an old fashion?! ", she said matapos niyang suriin ang aking suot. Next stop niya ay sa mukha ko...

" hmm, let's make this more colorful ", she added then pinched my cheeks.

" Aw! ", I reacted. It hurts you know. She looked at me first then said, " That's better! ".

After a minute ...

" What's happening here?! ", Dad asked curiously.

" Good question Dad ", I agreed to him.

Suddenly, lumapit si Mommy kay Daddy para ipakilala si Ms. Williams. She's my handler.

" Honey, she is Ms. Williams from Hollywood. She's the handler of Ally. ", Mom said while smiling.

" Why does she needs a handler?! " Dad asked them. Napatango naman ako. Nagulat sila sa tanong ni Dad at kahit si Mom ay natigilan.

" A-Ahm, honey... let's talk ok ", pabulong na sabi ni Mom sa kanya. Pagkatapos ay lumingon siya kay Ms. Williams, " Excuse us and please help yourself ", Mom said with a smiled.

While they're talking, my handler and some stuffs asked and helped me to fit some dresses that will suit my personality.

Siguro ang dami ko nang isinuot pero lagi nalang napapailing si Ms. Williams kaya lagi rin akong nagpapalit ng damit.

Afterwards, my handler chose the pink one with cardigan.

Then in a minute, we arrived at the airport. Yes, we're going to Hollywood just to have some photo shoot.

My Dad already agreed that's why Mom came along with me.

Almost an hour ang byahe. Nakakabagot. What I did was I opened my tablet and start writing something. Habang sina Mom at Ms. Williams ay panay ang kwentuhan na akala mo'y matagal na silang magkakilala at close na.

Pictorial

First time kong makakita ng mga kagamitan sa isang photo shoot. First time rin akong sasabak sa industriyang ito. First time akong haharap sa maraming tao at first time akong makikisalamuha sa kanila.

Pagdating namin ay inayusan ulit ako at pinagbihis.

Ayaw ko nga sanang paghiwalayin kami ni Mom but my handler told me that she's just over there so no need to worry about.

Ewan ko ba kung ano ang mga pinaglalagay nila sa buhok at mukha ko. Basta sabi ng handler ko that everything will be in hand so I guess, I have to trust her on this besides Mom was also there for me.

In an hour ay pinalabas na ako sa dressing room.

I was wearing a strap fitted shirt na pinatungan ng comfortable jacket na light green ang kulay. Pinasuot rin nila ako ng fitted jeans na black paired with a high knee boots na light brown.

Nasa harapan na nila ako. Yeah, sobrang kabado ako ngayon as this is my first time.

Inilibot ko muna ang aking paningin. May mga lights na malalaki, camera, mirrors and some materials na ginagamit sa pictorial that I don't know the names. Lahat iyon ay nakatutok sakin.

Then, someone caught my attention, my Mom. She waived at me saying that don't you worry because everything's going to be alright.

I just nodded.

The photographer stepped closer to me. He got one shot and said that not bad after all.

He also instructed me of the next pose that I should do.

I was standing there and looking directly at the camera. Yeah, I'm not used to it at syempre nahihiya pa rin ako.

Later on, napatingin ako kay Mom as she was standing right next to Ms. Williams. Ms. Williams raised her thumb saying it's good. My Mom keeps on doing a sign language saying smile.

I got there! I put a smile on my face then everything went almost perfect.

Ganoon pala ang pakiramdam kapag ine-enjoy at masaya ka sa ginagawa mo like nothing to worries about. Nakakagaan ng pakiramdam. Parang ang bilis matapos ng ginagawa mo at feeling mo ay maganda ang kalalabasan ng lahat.

Dahil sa mga taong andyan para sakin especially Mom, nagkaroon ako ng confident to surpass everything. The nervous that I felt just gone when everything's in the right path.

Ang saya pala talaga kapag gusto at ginusto mo ang mga pangyayaring para sayo lang.

I think this is the start of something new in my life. This is the beginning of what where should I be.
