"Ahhh!!!!" "I love you Lianne!!!!" "LiaRen forever!!!" "Hwjeosroeu!!!!!" "Gworuoepwieod@3&;@4$9!"

The screams of the people seemed like a wind under the intense scorching heat. Some screams are understandable, some are not. Probably some are curses? Lol. But it doesn't actually matter because the warm welcome of every town we visit already means that those screams are positive. And I will never get tired of hearing those screams! I am indeed forever thankful for that!

Our security is still heightened because of the possible stampede or commotions the people may cause. The once wide street that can be a two-way for trucks, now sinked into a narrow space that can only be passable by a line of people. The crowd are already resulting to hoarse voice, because of their continuous extravagance of showing their love and support.

I was in the van and finishing my last spoon of lunch when Joy, one of the creative directors, went in my van and briefed me about what will happen today. "Lianne, as you know, today is your weeksary. But you will not use a microphone for today, because the statistics are diminishing already. The creative directors, decided to bring back your dubbing. And this will happen because you've been into a car accident. Okay?" When she finished, I just nodded and smiled. And then, she went down right away and went towards the director.

After the show at the arena, it seems like our Twitter statistics are slowly diminishing. Well sometimes they are maintaining the record, but not going beyond it anymore. It's not really "alarming", but you see we've been used to setting new records. So this is new. Consecutive Saturdays are not even giving us a new record. The creative directors are already thinking of a new flow that can boost the ratings again.

I saw my other Lolas just finished eating and now starting their makeup on their respective vans. Let me introduce my Lolas, they are: Lola Ca-talino, the grandmother on-screen who really took care of me and the one who's conservative the most. She is always guiding me with her words of wisdom. Lola Ca-likot, the second grandmother on-screen and who is the most liberated among them. She dances a lot and she likes too much PDA (Public Display of Affection) between Warren and I. Lola Ca-husay, the third grandmother on-screen who was the one taken cared of the most in their family. She sings well like a song bird. And despite her age, she still knows what's trending for my age.

"Hi Lianne!" Paula, one of the makeup artists, greeted me when she opened the door of my van. "Are you done taking your lunch? I was told by the Creative director, to make you like someone who's fresh from a car accident. So this might take a little longer." I scooted nearer to the window as she said this. While Paula sat beside me while maintaining a space between us so she can put make-up on me.

"Yuh I was briefed too." I answered as she placed clips on my hair.

"What's with the mood, it seems like you don't want to be back to the dubbing? Do you have like, uhm," she paused while she was getting the Chanel foundation on the make-up bag. "Do you have something to say to him?" She paused and looked at me.

My eyes shifted from her hand in the make-up bag, to her eyes that's interrogating me silently. "Of course none! It just feels like probably the LiaRen will end soon." Worry was visible in my voice.

Paula gave me an assuring smile, and then she started. "There will be no one to say that, what's bound to happen will really happen." She pressed the top part of the bottle of the Chanel liquid foundation and squirted it on her metal palette.

She got her diamond shaped disposable sponge, and dabbed it on the liquid foundation and applied it to my face. I automatically closed my eyes. "Yeah that's what I was thinking too. The moment my career rocketed high that quick, I knew it wasn't going to take too long. That's why I have always been thankful for everyday, for the support and I'm just doing my thing." I opened my eyes after I say these words.
