New York: Where dreams are made

Lisa's POV:

We arrived in New York at around 12 p.m. ng tanghali. The first thing we did is get a meal from Katz's Deli a famous New York institution. I got a Pastrami Sandwich from them with fries and drink. Popular sila sa New York for serving tasty and hearty sandwiches. Ganito daw ang mga amerikano pag lunch nila, they grab something easy to go and eat even on their commute or just their daily walks. What better way than get a sandwich? The place is packed with tourists and locals. All lined up to get themselves lunch. Unlike in Korea and other parts of Asia where our lunch is consisting of Rice, a type of Banchans which is a main entree in these type of Asian Countries, soup and pickled vegetables. Koreans liked to sit down and eat a meal, savor their every bite and not hurry through it.

Sa Korea ang lunch namin kahit sa school cafeteria ay healthy at may rice. We rarely ate sandwiches. Except if we were on a tight schedule in school where in we get instant cup noodles and a sandwich from a local convenience store. Most average Korean teens live off of that. Unlike Rosé, Rabbit and my friends who have money. We always sat down to enjoy lunch. Pero dito, nagtake-out lang kami bago kami pumunta sa Hotel na pag-iistayan namin. Upon arriving at the hotel lobby, Coach Sunmi got our keys from the front desk. Kami nila Rosé at Rabbit ang room mates. We divided everyone into three save for the two boys in our team who has their own room.

Si Coach Sunmi kela Tzuyu mag-iistay. We had to bring coach along as she is an adult who will supervise us. Pag-tapos naming maka-rating sa aming mga kwarto, Rose, Rabbit and I ate our lunch. Dahil pagtapos nito ay may isang oras lang kami ng pahinga at lalarga nanaman kami sa pagpapapractice. I messaged Jennie pagkababa pa lang namin ng eroplano kanina. Kahit na 12 a.m. na sa Korea. Kahit na may Jet Lag pa kami, kailangan namin mag-practice. Ito ang sitwasyon namin ni Jennie for the whole week. Umaga sa U.S. at Gabi naman sa Korea.

In a few days we will be performing our Semi-final piece and then after winning we will be performing Jennie's Debut Song, if ever Jennie was signed this song will be her Debut Song so to speak. Kaya huli namin itong ipeperform. Which will catapult Jennie into the lime light if I do say so myself. Her song was easy to choose dahil marami siyang rap lines dito and the mix I did fitted perfectly with her lyrics.

"Limario, nakapag-report ka na ba kay Jennie?" Rosé asked me as ahe ate her corned beef sandwich.

"Ay oo nga pala. Wait. Let me send her a quick message." I said to Rosé.

"Hirap ng may jowa ano? Hahahahaha! May report pang ganap." Rosé said laughing.

"Rosé, minsan lang sumaya ang kaibigan natin, suportahan na lang natin siya." Rabbit said as she took a bite of her brisket sandwich.

"Oo naman, susuportahan ko si Lisa noh. I was just teasing her." Rosé said laughing.

"Salamat Rosé and Rabbit. Kaya naman kayo talaga ang mga best friend ko eh." I said smiling at them.

"Of course." Rosé exclaimed and pulls me into a hug.

Soon Rabbit was hugging me, sandwiching me in between her and Rosé. The two people I'd trust with my whole life is here with me as we dance to our world championship dreams. Kahit anong pagod nila they will come through for me. We heard a knock on our room.

"Lisa, Rosé and Rabbit!" Tzuyu said.

Rosé was the one to open the door.

"Bakit Tzuyu?" Rosé said as she opens the door.

"Sabi ni Coach Sunmi, in 15 minutes start na ang practice natin for semis." Tzuyu said smiling.

"Okay, we'll see you in fifteen." Rosé said.
