Days have passed and nandito ako ngayon sa likod ng mini backstage na itinayo ng class namin near here sa sunken garden. Dito kasi naisipan ng prof namin na gawin yung mga performances. Graded daw 'to kaya bahala na.

Hindi naman talaga ako nag peperform. Yes, I do youtube cover songs and vlog. Pero ako lang naman mag isa pag nag fifilm eh!

Right now, one of my classmates is performing. Infairness naman sa mga classmates ko ha! May tinatagong mga talento! Many of us ang gagawin ay acting, dancing and singing! Boom! Pysch Students 'to!

"Tan! Ready na! Ikaw na susunod!" Sigaw nung prof namin. OMG! Ito na! Ilang days ko rin ito pinag handaan. I practiced it at days and do some taking care tips of voice at night naman. Oras at eyebug ang puhunan ko dito. Kaya dapat galingan ko na.

Nag lakad ako palabas sa tent. Every steps I make, also makes my heartbeats faster. Nilalamon na ako ng kaba! Hindi ko maiwasan na mapatingin sa crowd ngayon. Kanina konti lang 'to kaya confident ako eh. Pero ngayon? Padami na sila ng padami!

I gave my minus one cd to our sound organizer. I sat down on a chair infront and smile to everyone. Thanks to modeling talaga. Dahil kung hindi? Hindi ko magagawang ngumiti sa maraming tao ngayon.

Nag decide ako na kantahin yung You Are My Everything ng DOTS. Hindi lang dahil na hook ako sa drama na yan dati. Pero dahil naintindihan ko yung lyrics niya. Of what the song is all about. Kasi diba, when you're happy, you enjoy the song. But when you're sad, you'll understand the song.

(Playing You Are My Everything)

When I see stars, I think of you
Then I always pray for you
And I know what my heart was made for
To love you forevermore

The moment I sang the first lyrics, their focused are on me. Some of them ay vinivideohan ako, some of them naman ay naka focus lang. Nagulat ako! Pati yung prof ko na panay ang sulat, eh ngayon ay nakatingin lang sakin.

Totoo 'tong lyrics na 'to. Dati, sa tuwing makakakita ako ng bituin. Siya agad yung naiisip ko. He was like my star in my world that is full of darkness. Kapag nahihirapan ako, I've always thought of him.

When I feel you in my heart
Then I hear your voice from your eyes
I'll always love you
And I'm waiting for you until the end of time

Well, I waited for him. Kung sukatan ng pagiging loyal, eh dapat may loyalty card na ako with points! Kasi sa tuwing mag kaka crush ako, feeling ko nag tataksil ako sa kanya.

Here I am, way to you
I hope that someday you will realize
That I can see forever in your eyes
And I'm wishing my dream will come true
I am lost without you
You are my everything

I was singing this song with all my heart. Para kay Ricci 'tong kanta na ito. Dumating na rin kasi ako dati sa point ng buhay ko na, he's my everything. But I'm nothing to him.

When I feel you in my heart
Then I hear your voice from your eyes
I'll always love you
And I'm waiting for you until the end of time

Noon, tuwing nag uusap kami nirerecord ko pa yung boses niya. Para bago ako matulog, i pa-play ko muna. You know, para kunwari call mates kami.

Bawat pag bukas ng bibig ko at pag labas ng boses ko ngayon ay ipinapakita kung gaano ko kamahal si Ricci. Pain was evident in my voice, dahil pati ako, nasasaktan.

Here I am, way to you
I hope that someday you will realize
That I can see forever in your eyes
And I'm wishing my dream will come true
I am lost without you
You are my everything

Isn't it clear to see
You belong with me
We are meant to be
In love eternally
My love

Feeling ko sumasali ako sa contest. Na ibinubuhos ko na lahat ng alam ko sa music ngayon. Oo, alam ko naman na hindi niya 'to mapapanood. Kasi sabi nila, on this day may training ang UPMBT.

Here I am, way to you
I hope that someday you will realize
That I can see forever in your eyes
And I'm wishing my dream will come true
I am lost without you
You are my everything

After I finished the song. I heard the crowd gone wild. They werw shouting and clapping! I saw my prof doing a slow clap! Can I feel fluttered na ba?

They were shouting 'ISA PA! MORE! MORE! MORE!' Grabe! Nakaka bingi. Pero iba yung feeling ko ngayon. I felt appreciated. Yes, may mga pumupuri sa social media na maganda nga daw yung boses ko, ganito ganyan. Pero... iba pala yung feeling pag yung mismong tao na yung nag sasabi sayo.

As much as I wanted to do their request, I can't. My prof didn't allow it. May mga mag pe-perform parin daw kasi and medyo limited lang yung time. I smiled and say thank you to the crowd before I stand up and get back to the tent.

Hay, how I wish that someday... Ricci would appreciate me too.

Tanga ka talaga, Hailey.

Nag lalakad na ako ngayon para mag abang ng jeep papunta sa condo ko, kakatapos ko lang mag perform when I saw Ricci. He's standing and wearing his jearsey. Sa itsura niya ngayon, mga konting minutos na siyang nandito. Teka, wait. Did he saw my performance? Oh, god.

"Let's talk." He said to me. Pero sa tono niya ngayon, seryoso siya at inuutusan niya ako.
