Nakikita kong unti unting pumapasok ang mga bisita. May mga familiar faces. Pero bakit parang nakita ko sina mama at papa? Wait, sila ba yun? Tsk. Naiwan ko pa ang salamin ko sa powder room. Di bale na nga. I need to get ready.
"Staffs, go to your stations. Band and singer! Get ready! We'll start in...

Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome, Our big boss, Our soul and Pride, Mr. Richossoto!"
Masayang makarinig ng nakakabinging palakpakan. Sikat talaga ang big boss. Bigtime kasi eh. Pero hindi ko talaga makita e.
Maggie, you need to focus... Kakanta kana mamaya after ng diner.
Breath in, breath out. Breath in, breath out.
Hindi pa tapos mag dinner ang mga guest namin. I need to warm up para hindi ako pumiyok mamaya. Wait ipapractice ko muna yung kanta.
EHEM EHEM!
I never understood before
I never knew what love for
My heart was broke, my head was sore
What a feeling...
Tied up in ancient history,
I didn't believe in destiny
Haaaah! Lechugas! Kinakabahan nako eh!
"Maggie! Umayakyat kana daw sa stage!"
"Ngayon na? Tapos na kumain yung mga guest natin?"
"Hindi pa. Pero sabi ni Mrs. Callejo, mag ready ka na daw."
"Tss. Kainis! Bat kase wala pa yung mga lechugas na singers na yon?"
"Bilisan mo na daw!"
"OO! Eto na nga oh!"
Haaay! Kinakabahan na talaga ako.
OK. Calm down. Kaya mo yan Maggie. Isipin mo, nasa karaoke ka na lang.
Nung papalapit na ako sa stage, inaatake nanaman ako ng stage fright ko! Kainis naman oh! Nangangatog na yung mga tuhod ko! Bat kase naka heels pa ko! Wala nang urungan to. Go go go!!!
Good Evening everyone. I hope you are enjoying your meals tonight. By the way, I'm Maggie. Maggie Lazaro. Uhmm, we've prepared a song just for the all of you. I hope you like this one. Thank you.

I look up, you're standing next to me
What a feeling...
