PROLOGUE
"Hi I'm Ezra Coleen Sanchez, you can call me Ezra. I'm 18 years old, currently living in Manila." I'm always center of attention to everyone. I'm beautiful. That's why marami akong mga advertisement sa mga commercial and even I have my own billboard na kung saan naroon ang mukha ko at ang product na pinapakita ko.
"Can you dance? Sing? Rap?"
I nodded. This is my first time na mag audition sa isang entertainment. Can I tell you my secret? Ayoko naman talagang sumali sa ganitong industry. Wala lang akong choice.
"Okay, show me what you got!" Ngumiti yung lalakeng nakaupo sya ata yung naghahanap ng mga pwedeng maging artists sa kanilang entertainment.
Tumango ako at inayos ang suot ko, naka red tube ako habang naka baggy jeans. Nagsimula akong sumayaw habang nakanta. Talented akong person or should I say sinanay ako sa ganitong pamamalakad. Bata palang ako sinasanay na nila akong sumayaw, kumanta para naman daw magamit nila ako.
Eventually, natutunan ko na ring gustohin ang ginagawa ko. Para naman sa kinakabuti ng pamilya ko. Maganda nga ako but I'm not typically your princess who lives in castle. Sabihin na natin na may kaya yung family pero minsan hindi parin sapat yung kinikita nila.
Habang sumayaw at kumakanta, na eenjoy ko ang ginagawa ko. My first audition successfully. Natanggap ako sa MI Entertainment at tatawagan nalang daw nila ako para sa lock in training. Tumago ako at nagpasalamat.
"Of course kaya sya nakapasok dahil nilandi nya lang yung jugde!"
"Grabe talaga kapag maganda no!?"
"Big yuck sa kanya sis!"
And of course. All of them look at me. Lahat ng mga mag-audition saying na nilandi ko ang judge. And I hate it. Hindi nila alam na ginawa ko ang best ko para makapasok sa audition na ito.
7 members ang hinahanap ng MI Entertainment para sa gagawin nilang girl group pop star. At ako ang napili nilang isa. So standby nalang ako sa susunod pang makakapasok sa audition.
Nakayuko lang ako habang mahigpit na nakahawak sa strap ng bag ko! Galing akong school at nagcutting lang para makapag-audition kaya nagmamadali akong umalis at hindi ko napansin na may nabunggo na pala ako. Nahihiya akong nagsorry dahil nalaglag yung mga gamit nya.
Mabilis kong pinulot yung nga gamit nya ganon din sya. Tumunghay ako para makita ko kung sino yon. Babae sya, nakasalim habang naka messy bun ang buhok.
"Sorry po talaga miss," kagat labi kong tugon. Tumawa sya at marahan akong tinapik sa balikat.
"Naku ano ka ba, wala yon. Ingat ka nalang sa susunod." Her voice is angelic. She have an also a visual.
"Mag-audition ka din ba dito?" Takhang tanong ko.
"Naku hindi, staff ako dito sa MI Entertainment. Hindi ko naiisip na mag audition." Ngumiti sya saken.
"You should try..."
"Ashley! Bilisan mo dyan!"
"Yes sir! Una na ako! See you soon again!" Tumango nalang ako at tumabi para makadaan sya. Ang ganda nya sayang naman kung hindi sya mag try na mag-audition.
Bumuntong hininga ako at nagpatuloy na sa pagalis.
MI Entertainment, an Idol, a pop star, girl group.

"HARMONIES! ARE YOU READY!?" I shout to the crowd!
The crowd got wild!
"HARMONIES! MANILA! LET ME HERE YOU FUCKING SCREAM!" Calypso shouted!
Lalong naging wild ang crowd dahil doon! Nagtalunan at sumayaw kami sa engrandeng stage ng Philippine Arena. Our first world tour! Hindi ko akalain na magiging sikat ako at this time. Na makikilala din kami as a group. Thanks to my group.
"LET'S WILD IN THIS NIGHT, HARMONIES!" Attia said.
"JUMP! JUMP! JUMP! HARMONIES!" Caitronia said.
We sing and dance along the cold breeze of night in Manila. This night is beautiful, together with the full of fireworks, confetti, and the full moon. Everything is a fucking perfect.

"THANK YOU MANILA!" I said! "I'M EZRA!"
"MAHAL KO KAYO, HARMONIES! I'M CALYPSO!"
"AISHETERU, HARMONIES! I'M CAITRONIA!"
"THIS NIGHT IS FUCKING INCREDIBLE, HARMONIES! SARANGHE! I'M ATTIA!"
"AND WE ARE... MELODY!" We bow. To end the concert. Finally! We debuted! "THANK YOU, HARMONIES!"
"BYE! SEE YOU SOON!"

I posted on my Instagram account the photos of waves in the crowd. A blue light stick.
