IT STARTED WITH ON A BREAK

Mika's

"Marts naman. Do you really need me there? I mean kahit naman yung dalawang phenoms na lang representative ng UAAP sa Jollibee Christmas Ad nyo enough na yun" reklamo ko kay Martin upon finding out na there's a Jollibee Ad shooting next week. Wala namang problema sana sakin since Im one of their endorsers kaso Kiefer and Alyssa will be there. Ayoko namang maging awkward ang ambiance. Besides I think Im not yet ready to work with them. Hindi naman dahil nakamoveon na ko hindi na ko magtitira ng konting pride sa sarili ko.

"Mika hindi kasi pwede eh. You know naman Darling of the Crowd ka, marami kang fans na umaasang makikita ka nila ulit sa Christmas Ad namin just like last year and syempre you're one of my favorite so hindi pwedeng wala ka dun"

"But last year is different! Alam mo naman yung situation ngayon di ba? Besides ano role ko dun? Kahati ni Alyssa sa Christmas gift na si Kiefer? So awkward di ba?"

"Eh Miks you wont be alone naman. We have a new Jollibee ambasador from La Salle basketball team, so sya yung partner mo. Hindi naman kami ganun kainsensitive para gawin kang third wheel dun sa dalawa"

"Sino naman? The last guy from La Salle basketball na endorser nyo is Avo eh Graduate na si Avo. Dont tell me it's your nephew Thomas? Ang liit ah"

"Eh basta surprise na lang pagdating mo dun sa location. I'll be there so ano see you? Asahan kita ah and I wont take no for an answer"

"Okay okay suko na ko. Just text me na lang when and where"

Haaay kahit anong tanggi ko hindi pwede. Kahit ayoko I have a contract to follow. I wanted to look at the brighter side, blessing din to. Sa dami ng UAAP athletes Im one of those chosen ones so ayoko na lang maging nega. Besides hindi naman silang dalawa yung pupuntahan ko dun.

Photoshoot Day

I arrived almost an hour earlier than the call time. Sa sobrang takot ko na matraffic nasobrahan naman ako ng aga.

Since outdoor yung shoot, they provided tents as our dressing rooms. 4 tents yung andun with labels each. "Mika" "Alyssa" "Kiefer" "Newbie". Nacurious ako dahil newbie yung nakalagay sa isang tent. But im still curious kung para Siguro para yun sa bagong endorser from Green Archers. Surprise nga siguro talaga since hindi nilagay yung real name nya. As far as I know no one in the GA naman has that name. I enter my tent and since magisa lang naman akong pumunta dito wala tuloy akong makausap. Hindi ko na sinaman si Mama since I can manage naman besides sabi ni Martin sila na magpoprovide ng lahat, from the stylist to glam team.

True to their words hindi naman sila naging insensitive, hiwalay talaga kami ni Alyssa.
Since Im waiting pa naman for the arrival of my glam team. I got busy browsing my phone until someone covered my eyes from my back.

"Huy sino to?" I asked him. I touched his hands and I thinks it's a guy. Impossible namang si Kiefer since iba yung amoy. Baka naman iba na yung perfume nya tulad madali naman sya magpalit pero impossible namang sya to at gawin nya to.

"Guess who?" he asked again. Sounds familiar yung voice pero di ko pa rin maisip kung sino.

"Urrrrghhhh sino nga? Pag di mo tinanggal kamay mo kakagatin kita!" takot ko sa kanya and mukhang effective since tinanggal na nya.

"Surprise"

"What??!! Jeron Teng?!!! Ano ginagawa mo dito? Teka naligaw ka ata, Jollibee Ad to hindi Mcdo or baka naman nagunite na ang Jollibee and Mcdo since Christmas naman hahaha"

"Mika hindi ako naliligaw"

"Eh bakit ka nga andito?"

"Kasi nga...." he was about to answer me when suddenly Martin came in.
