Strike A Pose Novels & Stories

Kung may malaking pagbabago man sa kaniya 'yon ay ang nakalimutan niyang ngumiti at mas nakakatakot ang itsura niya pero gwapo pa rin. I turned around and pose facing the audience. Bumalik ako sa linya kung na saan ang aking mga kasama at sabay-sabay kaming naglakad paunahan gamit ang iba't-ibang pose. The showdown begins! We did our rotation so in every corner we can show to everyone how we fight for this title. After a minutes of smiling, posing and walking in front of everyone. It's done!

Agad naman akong pumyesto sa designated couch para saakin kung saan may white curtains sa likod ko, medyo naramdaman ko pa ang hiya dahil sa tumatamang spotlight sa balat ko. "Okay, lets start with the simple pose." Aniya at itinuro saakin ang pose na gagawin. Madali ko naman nagawa ang mga sinabi nito, Iyon nga lang ay tila hindi ako komportable dahil alam kong may mga matang naka tingin sa'kin. Idagdag mo pa ang tingin ni Nicholas na lantarang niyang ipinapakita. Hindi tuloy maiwasang maka ilang shot bago ko makuha ang gusto nitong ibigay kong emosyon.

I sighed, "Ulitin ko nga." I hold the pole with both hands, one hand higher than the other and kick one leg up around the pole while the other leg stays grounded. I used my core to rotate around the pole, keeping my body close for control. And then gracefully lowered myself to transition into another move. It was an elegant move trying to seduce men and I was happy when the business people shouted my screen name when I did it flawlessly.

Napatigil tuloy ako at muli akong napaharap sa kaniya. “P-paano mo nalaman?” takang-taka kong tanong dahil hindi niya naman ako nakita kagabi na suot-suot ang kulay pink na gown na iyon. “They sent all your pictures to me.” He moved closer to my position while he was smiling. Nalaglag naman ang aking panga. Putragis! Kung ano-ano ang mga pose ko kahapon. Ginaya ko pa ang lahat ng itinuro ni Ate Belle na bali-buto pose, sakit-ulo pose, at taas-kili-kili pose!

"Hindi rin. Nagpapanggap lang ako hanggang sa dumating sa puntong hindi ko na kailangang magpanggap. Halika, subukan natin nang magkasama." She positioned herself beside the girl and struck a pose, slow and relaxed. "Huminga ka nang malalim. Isipin mo ang taong hinahangaan mo. O kaya naman ang taong gusto mong pagselosin. Hayaan mong makita iyon sa mga mata mo. Ganito..." Sinunod ni Marielle ang kanyang mga tagubilin at ginaya ang pose niya. Noong una ay alanganin. Ngunit makalipas lamang ang ilang segundo, may nagbago. Mas naging natural ang kilos nito.

Naglakad muli ako palayo, mga five steps away from her bago humarap ulit sa kan'ya. "Make a pose, Vienna," I said and fixed my phone's angle. "H-Ha? Pose? As in posing?" "Yeah." "Paano? Teka, p-peace sign? Ganito?" Nag-peace sign s'ya habang nakatayo ng tuwid. Pfft. Cuter. I click the camera button sa phone ko and itinutok sa kan'ya. "H-Hoy! Paglalaruan mo ba ako?!" "Vienna, say Vie."

He hadn't noticed me yet, so I quietly unrolled my yoga mat in a corner, trying to compose myself. As I stretched and started my yoga poses, I couldn't help but steal glances at him. His movements were fluid and powerful, with each stride full of purpose. The way his muscles flexed with each step was mesmerizing, and I felt a strange mix of admiration and something deeper, something more intense.

A soft, genuine smile gracefully appears on her lips. "Do another pose, Avah," said Arthur, the photographer. With a subtle alteration, I modified my stance, smoothly shifting my weight to one leg and crossing the other leg in front with elegance. My posture conveys a blend of grace and a welcoming aura. With a gentle upward tilt of my chin, I fix my gaze directly into the camera, projecting confidence and an inviting sense of warmth. "Fantastic, Avah! We've got the shot. Your natural beauty was emphasized because of your smile. This billboard will be a hit! Lalo at ikaw ang kauna-unahang modelo ng TriMall," Arthur said and handed his camera to his assistant.

Nakatutok ang mga mata niya sa iPad kung saan naman pinapanood ng choreographer ang mga galaw niya. "Bend your elbow a little, give me your fierce yet seductive look," ani naman ni Zeus sa malakas na boses. Habang binibigyan ng instructions si Tori ay ipinapakita niya kung paano ba ang tamang pose. "then one swift turn to the left and down on your knees, sway your hips three times while you tiptoe."

"This time, I want you to emphasize the necklace. Can you tilt your head slightly to the right and lift your chin?" Celeste nodded, adjusting her pose accordingly. Gusto nya kasi na maging perfect ang lahat lalo na sa pagiging late nya kanina. Kaya naman ginalingan nya talaga ang bawat pose para lang makabawi siya. Sa bawat pag snapped ng camera, Celeste posing and smiling. She was natural in front of the camera. "Perfect!" Halata ang pagkatuwa sa boses ng photographer. Sa di kalayuan naman ay pinapagmasdan ni Caleb si Celeste.
