By ANN CHARMAINE AQUINO

Liezel Lopez fulfills her longtime dream to be an artista through StarStruck.

At a young age, Liezel admired the 90s Pop Princess, Britney Spears and told her mom that she will be like her someday. That dream finally came true as she joins the Ultimate Final 14 of the reality based artista search.

Liezel saw her dream unfold from last Friday’s elimination (October 2) while celebrating her 18th birthday.

“Siyempre sobrang proud po ako sa sarili ko. Sobrang happy rin. Shocked kasi birthday ko pa parang sobrang grabeng birthday gift sa akin 'to ni Lord.”

The StarStruck contender also believes that passion will make your dreams come true. She said, “Naniniwala po kasi ako na kapag mayroon pong dalawang tao tapos 'yung isa sobrang galing, tapos 'yung isa is gusto niya 'yung ginagawa niya, siguro mas mananalo po sa akin 'yung mas gusto niya 'yung ginagawa niya. Kasi kahit po sobrang talented mo kung parang may time na tinatamad ka na gawin 'yung best mo parang wala rin po 'yun eh. Mas gusto ko po 'yung isang taong nagi-improve. Nakikita mo talaga kung gaano niya kagustong pantayan 'yung sobrang talented."

Liezel revealed that she is looking forward to learning more techniques to be fully equipped in the entertainment industry.

“Marunong po ako, 'di po ako magaling, pero doon po sa mga alam ko kumbaga pinagyayaman ko 'yung mga alam ko. Kaya dapat kung maga-acting ako, gusto ko maganda 'yung ipapalabas ko. Kumbaga, iisipin ko na ako 'yung nanonood. Ito 'yung gusto kong makita, so ito 'yung ipe-perform ko."

She added, "Gusto ko 'yung ginagawa ko. Kahit ano pang mangyari diyan, basta gusto ko 'to, magagawa ko.”
