Gavanna Lauran Elizaga already stopped hoping to be noticed by her idol because she knew that it will never happen . . . or so she thought. ***** Sa ilang taon ng pagiging fan ni Vanna sa K-Pop boy group na A-Zero, halos lahat ng concert ng mga ito ay nadaluhan niya na at palagi siya umaasa na mapansin ng mga ito lalong-lalo na ng pinakapaborito niyang miyembro ng grupo. Years went on and her little hope never came true. She got tired hoping. She finally realized that it was an impossible dream and it was stupid of her to even hope for that. Kaya naman nang magkaroon ng solo concert sa Pilipinas ang pinakapaborito niyang miyembro ng A-Zero, hindi na siya nag-aksaya pa ng panahon na magpapansin. Kahit anong tili niya, kahit anong hiyaw, talon, at kaway ang gawin niya, wala pa ring mangyayari. Hinding-hindi magagawi ang atensyon nito sa kaniya.
