CAPTURED

Chapter 5

When I started to walk on stage, the whole arena filled laughs and smiles from my fans. They are giving me a big applaused and I could see the admiration from them towards on me. Did I deserved all of this? Why I felt like I do something so I could reached the guiness book of records?. My heart fluttered everythime I saw their smiles and happy for what I am become right now. I know it's genuine. As a return, I gave them a big and thankful smiles that I only do it for the people I loved.

I never prayed for this. I never wished to have a huge fan club. I never expect from them to admired me. I only wants from our great father, was strength to help people to inspired everyone and give hope on their passion. The person who lost connection with their passion because of the circumtances. We deserved a hope, not just for the people who's living in a silver spoon, but all the people who's not losing a hope from their heart.

Most people tried to bring me down. Hindi naman maalis sa atin yon hindi ba? I was born on a poor family, not average nor rich, but poor among the poor. My family lived only on a bungalow style, no electricity and appliances. Mapapagkamalan pa nga kaming nabubuhay sa nakaraan.

At age of five, I started to loved the scenery that you only could see and have a better view just in front of our house. And that's when it's started.

To captured everything. To photograph. To took an image and give a messages for everyone.

I finally got recognized after five works of being a professional photographer for almost five years. I gained popularity because of my work called 'manless'. It's a just a simple photography, but the messages has a deeper meaning.

It was a strong and independent woman who's not afraid to left behind. She can stand alone without a man on her side just to survived, and all she have was just a faith and trust on herself. Because every woman designed to be strong and powerful among the rest.

Like my mother. My father died when I am just 9 years old. After my father's death, our life becomes more tough and hard. But then, we survived. Though marami muna kaming napagdaanan bago yon, and until now ayon parin ang kalaban namin. The past.

That's the story behind my work. It's dedicated to my mother who passed away two years ago. I really missed her. Bago siya mawala, nakita na niya ang resulta ng nagawa niya sakin. I want to be her mother again when I have a chance to born again.

But well I'm glad na ito ang sumikat sa lahat ng nagawa ko. Para sa kanya to.

Since I have a named in an industry, I decided to go on a public. I got a public image after that. Hindi easy, kasi ang daming paparazzi bigla sa harap ng pinapagawa kong building non. But as the time goes by, nasanay na ako.

And there it is now. My first interview but I didn't see it coming, that it will be a disaster.

The reporter, or whatever her name is, ask me if I can do something odd style. You know what I mean, like to explore different style. If you got a romance, you should change it in action, something like that.

I have my own style, I personally choose the realistic and naturalistic. Because I really love the nature and being simple, that's where I am before.

But, If I had to change my style, I would probably choose romance over her suggestion or whoever suggest it.

I can't do it.

Hindi ko kaya ang pinapagawa nila. Kahit bigyan pa ako ng ilang milyong pera ay hindi ko gagawin. I will never do it again.

I lost words. Hindi ko na alam ang isasagot ko dahil wala naman yon sa script na binabasa ko kanina. I thought it's just a few words. Hindi ako aware pati pala sa interview may fake news.
