The future

I love my baby cousins! They're the best models! They're so "artistahin", it's crazy! I can't believe my cousins have been auditioning for commercials already. They also take voice lessons and they seem very serious about making a career out of it. I was so dumbstruck during my cousin's seventh birthday party, because she completely took the stage like! She was dancing and singing so confidently like a pro. Did I say she's only seven? I remember, when I was their age I was pressured to perform by my parents. I had stage fright and I absolutely hated the extra attention. Their generation is so different from ours. It's so entertaining to see my cousins performing at their own will. They clearly know what they want - to be famous. Maybe just for now. But, who knows? That's how all stars emerge.

My baby cousin left for the US today! She's the sweetest little kid and I will miss her greatly! Whenever I see her she never fails to brighten up my day. I'm sure everyone will miss her hugs and her cute accents (American, Filipino and British?). Everyone who has met her fell in love with her in an instant. Her wit and charm is beyond her years. She is undeniably one of those unforgettable people who captivates all with her presence, even at a young age. I don't know when I will see her next. Probably after five years max. I wonder how she'll be like then. I hope she'll grow up to be a beautiful, intelligent, and charming young woman. I can't wait to see her again!

I'll always think of you! <3 Ate Gia
