MEETING MR. M: Mag-a-audition sana ako for SCQ Batch 10 kasi late na ko. So pumila na lang ako for the Artist Registry, meaning hinid na kasali sa Batch 10 pero artista pa rin nila. Nakasabay ko si Tita Mariole sa elevator, she asked me kung gusto kong mag-artista. Dinala niya ako sa office ni Mr. M. His first question was Gusto mo ba talagang mag-arista? Do you know how to sing?' Then I sang. Ayaw niya yung kinanta ko, yung I Turn To You' ni Christina Aguilera. Nakatingin lang siya sa akin. Hindi mo talaga mape-predict kung ano yung sasabihin niya. That was why I was very nervous. He asked me again, Alam mo ba yung Pagdating Ng Panahon?' Yes, Mr. M.' Ayoko nung parang in-imitate mo lang si Christina Aguilera. Kantahin mo yung Pagdating Ng Panahon' in your own version.
WHAT MR. M MEANS TO HER: Sobrang love na love ko siya. For my 18th birthday special, I told them that I wanted sana to perform several dance numbers like cha-cha and tango and that I wanted to dance with Mr. After the meeting, I went to Mr. M's office and asked him personally kung puwede siyang mag-guest. Sabi niya, Naku, parehong kaliwa yung paa ko.' Mag-di-direct na lang daw siya. Titignan daw niya. Akala ko hindi na matutuloy. Nung tini-tape na, nauna pa siya sa aking mag-rehearse ng part niya for foxtrot. Sobrang touched ako.
