THS: True "Hollywood" Story - Natasha

Livia is my brother in law's niece. One fine Sunday, I was attending Livia's English Competition. The English Competition was for students from kindergarten to junior high. It was interesting to see these young people were good enough in English (Indonesia is not an English speaking country). Then I saw the grand prize was 3 days 2 nights trip to Bali, wowww it was so tempting.

I did not mind to company Livia and I think this competition was good for these young people. Then, while they were waiting for the results, there was one girl named Natasha. Natasha (suppose to be) an actress. The MC was reading a lot of Soap Opera, advertisements and movies she had acted. I guess, she must be popular enough. She sang a few songs for the audience, which sadly supposes to be adults' type of song.

She was only 10 years old, still studying in elementary school and I bet she did not understand anything about those songs. The audiences were children as well. They would not understand what is love, why people tend to have triangle love, or anything that have been mentioned all the time from those songs.

She sang with EXTREMELY fake smile and looks kinda like plastic girl with full make up. She did flirt while singing, she moved and danced a bit. She was using pink dress, with pink legging and white boots (so entertainer).

I pity her. I did not know whether her mother forcing her to do these or this is all she wanted to do. I think, it is not suitable for her to be fake in very young age. She should enjoy her days as a kid, because someday when she grows up those fake smiles are more needed.

I asked my brother in law, "If you have a daughter, are you going to let her to be like Natasha?" He said, "NO" (thanks God my brother in law is clever enough not to let her future daughter being that sick)

I looked at Natasha's mother, she was proud of her daughter.

Natasha, I think she did not even really understand why she's doing all those things. She looks blur and young. She did not look like she enjoyed her performance. She did not understand what she was doing.

I remembered there were a lot of young actors or actresses who finally screwed up their life because they were popular when they were kids. Most probably, Natasha would ended up like them.

I saw Livia, she did not win the competition but she just sad like kid who had lost their Ice Cream. Someday, she will learn to do better, and she has her days as a young girl. Natasha, she might not only loseher Ice Cream, she might lose her days that suppose to be the most unforgettable days in her life.

Cheers for Natasha


PS. I will post Natasha's video later. I could not transfered the video from my cellphone, huhu. I don't know how to use the bluetooth.
