It's Complicated

Chapter 32: The International Model Collide

"Kai, how are you."

"Hello po Tita. Kamusta po? Okay lang po ako."

"I'm good, nga pala mamayang hapon ko susunduin ang Mommy mo sa airport. How's your first day?"

"Okay naman po, miss ko na po kayo. By the way Tita, I saw your favorite destination and I like it so much."

"See, I told you. Sobrang ganda ng Sidney, and it is very relaxing especially at night. Try to hangout at night, you must try the street foods and I assure you gonna like it."

"Really?"

"Yes, and oh diba Martes ngayon? For sure mamayang gabi bukas ang Street the Treat, halos lahat ng favorite ko nandodoon. And wait there's more, may filipino street foods din doon. Don't you worry kasi hindi siya makakaapekto sa diet mo."

"Talagang love niyo po talaga ako, sige po I will try. Sige po mamaya na lang po paalis na po kami."

"Bye."

Ibinaba ko na ang cellphone ko ng putulin ni Tita ang linya, lumabas na din ako ng room at bumaba kasabay ni Lyn. Pagbaba ko ay napansin ko ang magandang bulaklak na nasa front desk.

"Miss excuse me, are you Miss Alexa Kai?"

"Yes, why?"

"Someone's delivered this flower bouquet." Iniabot niya sa akin ang magandang bouquet na nakaagaw agad ng atensyon ko kanina.

"Did he left any message?"

"Sorry but this bouquet only."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Inamoy ko ang flower na ikinangiti ko naman. Pangalan ko lang na hand written ang nakalagay at ang napakagandang bulaklak.

"Kai! Wow! Agang aga may manliligaw na agad ah. Sino yan?" Pangtutukso ni Erin habang tahimik naman si Lyn sa tabi.

"Girls pumunta na kayo dito, oh Kai kanino naman galing yan?" Tanong ni Miss Hikari.

"Hindi ko din po alam."

"Siya, mamaya na yan. Magsisimula na ang event nandoon na din sina Ela at Jane." Lumakad na kami at pumunta sa function hall, bitbit ko pa rin ang bouquet na ikinaagaw atensyon ng karamihan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this morning we are here at Sidney Hotel to give an introduction to our model from different country. For the next 3 days we are going to host the fashion model entitled The International Model Collide. But before that this morning we are going to introduce the model from 15 countries the Armenia, France, Colombia, Cambodia, Russia, Singapore, Germany, Mexico, New Zealand, UK, Georgia,  Brazil, Egypt, Philippines, and last but not the least Papua New Guinea."

"As we host this event we depend the ranking by voting online that are available all over the world. We are live to every country so that it is fair to other companies and participants. We are going to rank the country  from the 15 down to 10, and down to 5. But before we introduce the models, we would like to hear a short message from our producer who invented and planned this event, actually he planned this two years ago so he is so dedicated to achieve his dream to every model. Please welcome and give around of applause to Mr. Miguel Sanchez."

Nagsipalakpakan any mga tao ng tawagin ang nagplano ng event na ito. He is very smart and successful when it comes to planning an event like this. He is half American half Mexican but some said na may pusong Pinoy kasi tumira siya dito sa Pilipinas for almost 4 years at his middle age. Lagi ko siyang nakikita sa my magazine dahil sa sunod sunod niyang successful event. He is one of the millioner I met.

"Kai tara na sa backstage." Utos sa akin ni Lyn. Bumungad sa akin ang mga model na naghahanda na para sa pagrampa. Simple lang ang damit ko kaya hindi na ako medyo abala na mag ayos, niretouch lang ni Lyn ang light make up ko. Sa ngayon wala pang uniform or di pa parepareho ang suot namin, kasi mamayang  7pm doon magsisimula ang lahat.

Excited na kinakabahan kasi first time ko ito.

"You're DJ Kally right?" Isang babae ang lumapit sa akin na may katangkaran, mas matangkad kasi sa akin. May lahi siguro kasi may accent and english niya at kulay sky blue pants ang mata.

"Yes." Maikli at nakangiti kong sambit.

"I'm a fan of your."
Nagulat naman ako sa sinabi niya.

"Ahm thank you, but how?"

"I already knew you when you was in Spain as DJ too, DJ AK right? Don't worry because I can understand Tagalog but just a little bit." Teka kilala niya nga ako.

"Thanks." Tanging sagot ko lang sa mga sinabi niya.

"It's a pleasure to meet my idol." Nahiya naman ako sa sinabi niya, pero in fairness maganda siya.

"Can I take a picture?"

"Sure." Ngumiti ako sa camera at nagpapicture sa kanya.

"By the way I'm Sofia."
