I open my laptop and go to check my Gmail account, I receive two emails and I decided to check the first one. It's from Beauty Glem Modeling Agency. One of the famous Modeling Agency here in Australia. They are famous models that being trained in this Agency. I already read some articles, news and trending rumors of their glems models. They called their models as Glems because they believe without them, they would shine like a diamond or know it's worth.
One of my club friend, Jane, told me that this agency is secretly looking for a model, and they didn't have hiring or any kind of interview because they will dig deep into your profile and information. As Jane said, being one of paid model in this agency is all the Australian dream to have. What not? They will pay you, give you products supply. You will have your gym instructor, and especially they are the one who will provide and paid your manager. Like wow, by hearing this information make me how it feels like to be one of the models. It's a great opportunity as Jane also want to be a model because of the inspiration she gets from me since I'm a model but only in some local brands here in Sydney.

Miss El. See you on Wednesday

To : danica.lyn.morgan@gmail.com
Okay Miss Danica, See you then!
I'm so excited to go home next week. I can't help but to scream in happiness. Likewise, I saw Yassi with her peel off mask on her face, while Shanny is still not yet done putting some location all over her body. They both looked shocked and confused is written on their face. They both walked towards my direction.
"Why did you shout El? Are you okay? " Shanny asked me while she is busy continuing putting some location.
" What happened? " Yassi asked me this time while stretching her face.
" I got an email! " I exclaimed.
"From whom?" Shanny asked me.
" From Glem Modeling Agency in Australia! " I answered.
" And? " Yassi asked me.
" I'm going to be one of the hidden glem model! I'm going to pursue my dream, in going to be a model finally! " I declared.
" Wow, really El! Congratulations. " Shanny said as she run towards me and hug me.
" Congrats El, I'm so proud of you. Don't ever forget me! " Yassi asked as she hug me tightly and kiss my cheeks.
" Let's celebrate! " I proclaimed.
Yassi and Shanny scream from the top of their lungs and Yassi even jump upside down because of too much happiness she felt.
I can't stop myself from smiling, and I'm literally tearing up because of the excitement and mix emotions that I feel at the moment.
I asked them to dress up because we were going to the mall and sing our hearts out! Yep, we will eat too well it's my treat. They both nodded their heads and run upstairs. I go to my room too to change and get ready..
( At the Mall ** )
It's already passed 6:30 in the evening when we went to the mall to celebrate. I wear a yellow dress and pair it with my flat black shoes. I put some makeup on and went down while waiting for Yassi and Shanny to come out. I open my phone and log in my Instagram account, I took a picture of myself and posted. I write a caption :
I want to be a model,
I want it and I got it!
And after a few minutes I saw Ralph reacted it and commented on my post.
@RalphMe : Congratulations! @ElDelAcosta
He suddenly asked a video chat with me. I accepted as answer.
"Hey Ralph! " I greeted.
"Is that true? What's the name of the Agency, El? " Ralph asked out of his, curiously.
" Glem Modeling Agency! The famous agency of All! " I answered.
" So how's your vacation so far? " He added.
" It's fantastic! I hope you were here. " I uttered.
" What's the thing you talk about through email? Who emailed you? " Ralph questioned.
" She actually my manager as she said, also it's on Wednesday. I'm going to meet her in the agency. " I replied.
" Wait, what? Wednesday? So, it's tomorrow? " He said as his face looks puzzled.
" Huh? What are you talking about? " I asked as my forehead creased.
" Tomorrow is Wednesday, so basically you need to go home today! You are spacing out. " Ralph declared.
" Shoot! I forgot, wait in going to pack my things. Bye! " I replied and end up the video call.
I run towards my room and I bumped with Yassi. Even Shanny look at me.
" I'm sorry, but I need to go home! I forgot that it's Wednesday tomorrow, I must be at home tonight! "
"I wish I can celebrate with you guys, but I'm in a rush. " I said with apologetic voice. I looked down on my feet and said.
" I really love to stay, but I'll be back as soon as I'm available. " I stated.
" Please say my goodbye to Mr. and Mrs Lizelle, Yassi! I'm so thankful I meet you guys. " I said.
" Thank you for welcoming me and taking care of me. " I added.
" See you soon Shanny, I'm happy to be your friend! " I said as I gazed on shanny who is looking down on her feet while her shoulder is going up and down.
" Come here. " I whispered enough for both of them to hear. They both run towards me and hug as they both cry on my embrace.
" You will come back right, El? " Yassi asked me as she keeps on wiping her tears away from her face.
I kissed their both checks and wave my hand as a goodbye and run towards the taxi that is waiting for me outside the beach resort.
I entered the taxi and handed him my money as I said.
" Cauayan Airport, po. " I uttered as I dailed my father's number.
The number you have dialed is busy at this moment please try to call later**
The number you have dialed is busy at this moment please try to call later**
The number you have dialed is busy at this moment please try to call later**
I inhale and exhale and decided to dial my dad's number once again. But he didn't pick it up. I attempted to call my mom's number, hoping that she is not busy, and she can pick it up. I looked at the time, and it's already 8:10 in the evening. I hope my mother is still awake at this time.
I dailed my mother's number, thankfully it's ringing. I waited for her to pick it up and answer the call.
"Mom! " I exclaimed.
" El? Why did you call, it's already late at night? " She stated.
" I'm coming home. I'll call you back when I'm already in the Sydney Airport. " I replied.
" I thought you will be back next week, as you said? " She asked me confused.
" I receive a letter from an agency and I need to go to the company to undergo an interview. I'm got to go Ma, see you ~ " I uttered and end the call .
I walked out of taxi and go straight to the departure area and put my laptop bag beside the chair that I'm sitting while waiting. After an hour, it's around 9:00 in the evening when the plane depart and fly. It took 8 hours and 20 minutes during the flight, and it's around 5 in the morning when I arrived in Sydney Airport and wait for my mother.
Thankfully that Miss Danica, my manager, told me that it is dependent on me on what time I'll go and see her to got my interview. I saw my father's car and stop In front of me. I open the door and walk in. I didn't greet my parents, I immediately took a nap on the way to our home. I enjoyed my stay in the Philippines during the 2 days, especially with Yassi and Shanny accompany. I really thought that I will stay at least 2 weeks or more but as an unexpected happened that I need to go home as soon as possible. It's dehydrates my whole energy. I'm going to sleep once I reach home.
