"Hindi naman po," Sarah insists. "What happened was the day before, last taping day ko for 'Sarah Teen Princess' on ABS which ends after seven months. Napuyat talaga ako nang husto. It was my mom who requested Viva to pack up the shooting because I was sick. Hindi na po kasi gumaling-galing ang tonsillitis ko. Even if I report on the set at may sakit naman ako, I don't think I can work well. I just hope they understand. Now na wala na kong TV show, I can concentrate on shooting the film."
How was her first trip to the U.S. for their "Night of the Champions" concert tour? "It was fun kasi napasaya namin ang mga Pinoy in New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles. They know me because of TFC on TV. First time naming lahat nina Rachelle Ann Go, Kuya Mark Bautista and Kuya Christian Bautista sa U.S. kaya we bonded well. In New York, the fans were shouting during the show at the Golden Center in Manhattan, Sarah, dito ka na lang. So I told them, hindi po puede bukas I promised the U.S. embassy in Manila na uuwi ako. I got a standing ovation for my Celine Dion medley. Our kababayans are so generous and gave us a balikbayan box full of souvenirs like watches, bags, brand name clothes and perfume. Daig pa namin ang nag-shopping. In L.A., we were able to go to Disneyland. Then in Las Vegas, I got the chance to watch Celine in her concert in Caesar's Palace. Nakanganga talaga ako while watching her sing live kasi sobrang idol ko talaga siya. In San Francisco, I shot my music video for my new song, 'How Could You Say You Love Me,' which will be in my second album, 'Prinsesa ng Buhay Ko,' which will soon be released."
She sports a new hairdo that she got in the U.S. Her bangs makes her look more mature and not the 16-year-old that she is. "In the U.S., may mga nagsabing manliligaw sila and asked for my cellphone number. Ang number ng mommy ko ang ibinigay ko sa kanila. I'm not ready para magpaligaw. Perhaps when I'm in my 20's, puede na."
She's determined to finish her high school studies. She enrolled at the Angelicum Home Study program for her junior year. In January, she'll be doing shows in Guam and in Hawaii come February. By May 2005, she returns to the U.S. to do more concerts in six cities.

Looks like she is going to Hawaii, maybe she could show Hawaii what an real filipino singer could do.
