Flash from the camera, crowds shouting your name, reporters asking you this and that is what I've always encountered ever since I was a kid.

I was 8 when my parents joined me to a modelling agency.. without asking me if that's what I want. Pero bilang bata, to please people around me, especially my parents, hindi ako nag reklamo. Sunod dito, sunod doon.

Just like a puppy who will do anything you asked, for them to get some treats.

I was forced to be someone they want me to be. Kailangan ganito ang kilos ko, kailangan hindi ko gawin 'tong mga bagay na 'to, hanggang dito lang ang mga gagawin ko, at susundin ko sila dahil sila ang nag bigay ng mga bagay na meron ako.

I see myself as a prisoner back then...

Not until I met her.
