(matapos ang ilang linggo mula nang pagbabalik nila sa klase nakatnggap si Arwin nang isang email mula sa staff nang isang local teen magazine, tinatanong nito kung maari raw bang magkaroon ng interview between them at sa staff ng Paradox, nagulat si Arwin at agad syang nagpatawag nang meeting papunta sa bahay nila Ghie,.)
...
(Nakaupo silang lahat sa sala nila Ghie, wala ang mommy ni Ghie ngayon kaya solo nila ang bahay.)
Arw: so what do you think???
Shey: haha, I can't say no.
Eigh: but wait, are you sure that the person who emailed you is a registered staff of Candy Mag?
Arw: yes, I checked it on their website.
Eigh: but what if he just uses the name?
Arw: no I have checked it on their profile, the email address ang everything.
Eigh: oh okay,
Cha: so when did they schedule the interview?
Arw: a few days from now,
Cha: oooh, we just had our prefinals, I think we can do it.
Shey: Ghie, I really love these mangoes.
Arw: haha, Shey. Where's Emily?
Eigh: oh she can't come,
Arw: why?
Eigh: she said she has something else to do,
Arw: oh... so what? Are we gonna say yes or no?
Ghie: I'll go for yes,
Cha: yes,
Eigh: uhm, yeah,
Shey: haha, fuck it if I say no. haha.
Arw: Jop?
Jop: no,
Arw: haha, kJ!
Jop: just kidding, of course!
Arw: so I'm gonna contact the staff, and I'm gonnasay yes?
Ghie: precisely!
Arw: okay,.
...
(5am, gamit ang sasakyan nila Shey, umalis ang grupo para pumunta sa la Mesa Eco Park kung saan nila gaganapin ang interview. Nagpagawa sila nang isang personalized shirt na may pangalan nang kanilang grupo, sinalubong sila ng staff ng magazibne may mga make-up artists at photographers, meron din sila inihandang mga snacks para sa grupo. Inuna nilang interviewhin ang CEO na si Arwin, at ang dalawang support staff na sina Emily at Jop. Unang itinanong sa kanila kung paano nabuo ang grupo.)
Staff: So how was Paradox became Paradox?
Arw: It all started with a multimedia school project, so I was appointed to be the representative for the third year level, since I am a junior high student. At first I thought I'll be messing the school project up, for no one liked to auditioned and no one was that interested to sign theirselves up. So that was my problem, but since Ghie wanted to help me I automatically signed her in the group since she is one of the school's premiere chorale member. And then she found out that Cha knows how to rap, so I signed her in, again, autonatically. Shey then was transferee from Cebu, so we watched her self documentary and found out that she knows how to sing and dance, so after she came in, I signed her in. So everything's complete singer, rapper, dancer... but after the first teaser there was something yet missing, the group lack projection. So it was then that we knew that Eigh had formal lessons on things like projection, so we had her teached the group some basic, and after that we have decided to include her in the Group.
Staff: so why Paradox?
Arw: by definition, any person, thing, or situation exhibiting an apparently contradictory nature. We have chosen Paradox for these girls will exhibit something beyond rules and regulations.
(ngayon lang naisip ni Arwin ang dahilan.)
Staff: so about the concept of the MV Hot Hot, what did you consider?
Arw: maybe I'll leave that question to our field manager, Emily Martin.
Emily: it was Arwin who had the idea of the setting and of the theme. So I had to prepare different sets of production designs, on the first part of the MV as you ay notice, there was a pond, and some fogs and bushes. It was all natural and we found the place around Cha's home, so we stayed over at their house and we all woke up by 2am to start the preparation. There were vacant rooms on Shey's house so we transformed it to be the studio where we will shoot our complete choreography and different solo parts, our class gave us a hand. And then Eigh's family have this studio where they bond during weekends, we also used some rooms in their studio so that we could save time and energy.
Staff: so Hot Hot is an original composition of whom???
Arw: it was an original composition of Kim Eli, a friend of Shey's godfather. So all credits for the song belongs to him.
Staff: os so he made this song just for paradox?
Jop: no, he had the song sometime already ad he was just waiting for a proper performer. He has high standards as he always say. But he really liked Shey to perform all of his compositions but Shey had to turn it down because before the debut of Paradox, Shey had a little self-confidence. So Eli in turn gave us the simplest song he have on his collection, "I underestimated the capacity." That's what he told me when we last talked.
Staff: you have a collaboration with Kim Eli? So Does this mean that the fans of Paradox iut there should wait for another video?
Jop: Yes, we are working on now with the arrangement of another original composition and two revival songs. All prepared by Kim Eli and Ben Reyes, Shey's godfather.
Staff: is this sometime around this month?
Jop: I believe that the practices will be held around this month, but we still have our final examination. So we have to stay our focus on it Specially two of our staffs are consistent honor students.
Staff: oh that is good. So how did you adapt to the gradual change on your social status?
Arw: well our group, at first, were really shocked, specially that we used to be someone from the unknown population of our school. But sometime after the released of the video, everyone in school seems to know us. Even people outside. So we have to work with our sanity. haha.
Satff: indeed, fame really brings in insanity.
(di rin nagtagal ang interview. Sumunod naman ang mga myembro ng Paradox.)
Staff: Cha, as the leader how do you manage your group???
Cha: oh, I am a leader by title. Since Arwin considered me being a CAT officer. I don't really have much to manage with the group, all of us know proper decorums and we don't really get into fights.
Staff: You're group is now enlisted on showbusiness, would you take the challenge to be a real leader this time??
Cha: that will be very exciting, our group really loves challenges.
Staff: Ghie, as the lead vocal how do you manage your vocal power so as not to overpower the rest?
Ghie: haha, at first during practices there were incidents when I tend to overpower the rest, but as the group moved on, you will eventually learn their styles and techniques and all I have to do is to put some more to it.
Staff: thank you Ghie. And Shey, you are a very good dancer, so what are the things you consider on preparing a choreography?
Shey: well thank you for the compliment. Well I have to consider their dancing experiences but since none of them had ever danced before I really have to go down a few marks. haha, that's what they told me, but I am still an amateur myself, it's just that I had more experience than them.
Staff: well the choreography seemed to be a very big hit for children and teenagers.
Shey: well thanks to the beat of the songs, when you hear the song there are no chances that you can escape the beat.
Staff: indeed, I had an experience. So Eigh, I have heard about you projections,
Eigh: I knew you would say that,
Staff: so is it true that you had modeling class???
Eigh: yes it's true, my parents enrolled me in one.
Staff: but I haven't seen you on any ads before.
Eigh: oh yes, well frankly I have to turn down every offer that was given to me since it is really not my calling.
(matapos ang isa-isang interview...)
Staff: so lovelife, how does Paradox deal with their lovelife?
Eigh: haha. Lovelife? We don't have any, there's so much to think about.
Staff: like???
Cha: school requirements, us being Paradox.
Staff: oh, really that's quite tough huh. But I heard Shey is already obliged to marry someone. Is that true Shey?
Shey: I'd lie if I say no.
Staff: so it's true?
Shey: yes.
Staff: what's it like?
Shey: I really am not sure, But I am sure that I won't worry someone I don't know.
Staff: oh so you don't know the guy??
Shey: yes, but his parents are close family friends.
(hindi rin nagtagal natapos na ang interview at nagkaroon naman sila ng mga pictorial sa lood lang din ng park. Binigyan sila ng konting challenge ng Staff, at tinour sila sa loob ng park, lahat ay free. gabi na nang makauwi sila sa kanilang mga bahay.)
