Y Speak? Why NOT Speak? Part 3

Overwait…

So there, I found someone whom I could talk to while waiting for my claim to fame. Floi and I just joked about how long we have been waiting and how hopelessly long the line was. We also laughed about our decision not to tell our “true friends” that we are gonna audition for the part. We chatted for hours and I can’t really remember what we talked about in detail. Finally, it was time for the line to move. ABS CBN here we come, and I thought “Aircon…”

When we entered the Studio I said hello to the guard. To my surprise, the guard said, “hi, parang familiar ka..” I was embarrassed. Great, now the others’ll think that I auditioned na before. Ok lang, baka dahil mukha akong artistahin kaya ganun. Hahaha..
I saw the SCQ people : Michelle, Janelle, Erich, Charles, Aaron, Pau.. err, DM? Cant remember.Erik Santos, Pokwang, Bianca __?__, Archie, and (drumroll please)

CHRISTIAN BAUTISTA.


Ok, I don’t really get excited when I see celebs but I couldn’t help it. I love this guy, he’s a schoolmate and I think he’s incredibly talented and cute. So, jologs na kung jologs pero I had to take his picture. Pichur! Pichur!

Audition, Odd-ition..

We were instructed to introduce ourselves in 20 seconds. I was eyeing these two good-looking women in front of me ever since I arrived ‘coz I had the impression that they have what it takes. They looked pretty confident (annoyingly confident, if I must say) that I was expecting that they know what they came there for. But unfortunately, the moment I heard them talk I realized that they thought they could get away with it by merely looking good. They’re obviously wrong, they were both cut short about 5 seconds from the time they began talking. I pity them. I’m not surprised that I didn’t feel nervous at all, how can I fuck up? Talking is like my nature, 20 secs is too short, I felt so confident. When my turn came I felt like I can do it flawlessly, and I did.. until this man asked me which episode of Y Speak I liked most. Good sign, he talked to me and he wants to know more about me. But I couldn’t remember any episode in particular, I was terrified. Breathe. I said something about homosexual marriage, only to realize that I saw it in Debate, but I got away with it because he interpreted it to be the episode where the topic was whether a guy who went into a relationship with someone gay is also automatically considered gay or not. Whew, that was close but doubt came seeping in. I DON’T THINK THEY’LL CHOOSE ME.

Aww yeah.

The guy said, “Those who wouldn’t be chosen will still be a part of the Y Speak Club. For the numbers I will be calling, we’ll contact you for the second screening. 250… 252.” He calmly announced.

“252!! 252!” it’s what came through my mind. he said 252, it was my freaggin’ number. I was ecstatic. Everything was worth it. There is a second screening. Woohoo! I was so happy. I went home with one newfound friend, Riza and we were just smiling from ear to ear coz she also got in. I like her personality, I think we can be friends.

I shall WAIT.

I did one teeny-weeny stupid thing, I only wrote my landline number and not my cellphone number. Maybe, unconsciously, I didn’t believe I would make it. So I can only hope that when they call, someone’s home or else my chances are ruined. But it’s all good, at least I got to the 2nd screening.. I SHALL WAIT.
