Chapter 34

Back to present time...

"Hello, mom? Yeah, I'm good...it's okay, I feel fine...I slept pretty well actually. Yup, I'm going to be busy today, I have to go to the studio for my MTV ASIA taping. Then I have to meet with Julie for the interview she scheduled, she said it's for the magazine and that it's for this month's issue. Plus, I also have a photo shoot for Top Shop 'coz they said they'll be opening several stores here and they need more posters and stuff for the advertising. I'll barely have time to eat, haha! Yup, of course I'll eat, you know me, I love food! Okay, talk to you later, bye. I love you!" Ann said as she hung up the phone.

At 20, she has become a famous celebrity, not only in Taiwan but in other parts of Asia as well. When she was 16, she was featured in a famous local fashion magazine as being one of the youngest top models in the Taiwan Fashion World. Her short experience with Philippine show business helped a great deal in boosting her confidence. Unlike in the Philippines, Ann had a fresh, clean slate in Taiwan. Nobody cared about the negative publicity that were thrown at her when she was still in the Philippines. People supported her for what she can do as a model, and now as a VJ. Because of her bubbly and down-to-earth personality, a lot of her supporters have also become her friends. Over the years, her supporters just grew more and more and now, she is considered to be one of the most well-loved celebrities in Taiwan.

Her popularity started to spread throughout other Asian countries when she auditioned and became one of the VJs of MTV Asia. Again, people immediately noticed her bubbly and cool personality, added to the fact that she always looked good with her unique fashion sense. She always got praises for being fashionable, witty and nice. Even with all the hype that she was getting from people all over Asia, she still remained to be the same down-to-earth Ann Li that they love. As much as she could, she always spends time with the people who supported her, as a way of thanking them. She was always vocal about thanking her supporters and that is why she has always been well-loved.

Despite her current celebrity status, she still had some misgivings about coming back to the Philippines. She wasn't sure if people still remember all the negative publicity that were thrown at her and she wasn't sure if coming back was a good idea. However, she was not given a choice because currently, she was the only Asian VJ who new much about the Philippines, so the assignment fell on her hands.
