Hey y'all it's Evie! Miss Avery liked the popularity of the Day in the Life segments, so she granted me permission to start another! (also all this blogging is raising my English mark =D)
Please welcome the "Interest" Segment: SERA00 Pastimes!
We will find out the hobbies and pastimes of a member and create fun activities out of it to see just how passionate she is about her interest.
But don't worry! I won't neglect the Day in the Life segment! Please support SERA00 and anticipate an "Interest" segment soon!

Official SERA00 Announcement: 2013 Recruitment
~EDIT~ if some of you have noticed, our policies have changed. Please see "SERA00 Auditions" for accurate info!
As comes annually with SERA00's spring promotion season, we are now recruiting new members for SERA00! From tomorrow, February 27th, until March 15th, send in your applications and auditions.
If you are a girl between the ages of 12 and 20, and aspire to be a SERA00 member, here's your chance! Record yourself singing the chorus of any SERA00 song (8 lines minimum, 16 lines maximum). Send this in with your application form and two photos of yourself.
Those who pass will advance into the producers' round. In this round you will re-perform the same song live, with choreography. SERA00 staff will narrow it down to 400 girls.
From thereon, a few mass performances of a chosen song will eliminate a further half of the applicants.
The second last round will be judged by senior SERA00 staff, including Miss Avery, and will eliminate another half of the applicants.
The remaining 100 girls will get the chance to audition in front of an actual A rank SERA00 member.
The ultimate decision is made by the senior SERA00 members, who will be the successful applicants' teammates in the future.
Good luck to every girl in passing all five auditions! We will see you on the stage!

A Day in the Life of...Harley!
I bring you this segment, A Day in the Life! Although it has been an embarrassing experience, as you will see so yourself exactly what I mean, I will still post this for the fans' sake.
Blonde and rocking that motorcycle chick look, we have the A rank from Team Angel, the girl who has disclosed information about her background to no one. The mysterious SERA00 member, widely loved and ranked 5th by fans...today we will stalk Harley Breeze.
8:00 AM
It's a Saturday morning and Harley has requested to skip tonight's performances. Being fifth in rank, Miss Avery gladly obliged, of course. What could she have in mind? Harley heads to a crêpe house for breakfast. She has Luraland scuffing her feet following.
8:30 AM
Sits down at the crêpe house. Let's listen in their conversation.
Harley: Ahh, we're here again. Cheer up, Luraland. I've brought you to your favourite restaurant.
Luraland: *nods head doggedly* *puts hands together in "thanks" gesture*
Harley: *skims menu* I'll have the ham and cheese crêpe. What about you?
Luraland: *holds up four fingers*
Harley: Chocolate hazelnut? For breakfast? Come on, Lura, choose something else.
Luraland: *pouts* *seven fingers*
Harley: Alright. *flags down waiter* We'll take one ham and cheese and one omelet crêpe. And two green teas. Thanks.
(right. The media member tea fad...)
Harley: Kay, Luraland. Out with it, what's wrong?
Luraland: *jumble of sign language*
Harley: That worried? She'll be fine. You know Angel.
Luraland: *sign language*
Harley: Hmm really... I guess it's the upcoming spring promo season.
Luraland: *sign language*
Harley: *hands her pen and paper*
Luraland: *writes* (I guess she prefers writing over sign language?)
Harley: I've got time. Yeah, I will today.
(the food arrives)
Luraland: *happily eats*
(okay, maybe "conversation" isn't the most accurate word when Luraland is involved)
9:42 AM
Arrives at local park, Angel is waiting for Luraland. They converse in quick sign language. Unlike Harley, who is better at reading than doing sign language, Angel has known Luraland for way longer and as a result is quite familiar with the gestured language.
10:00 AM
Harley leaves the two of them at the park. She heads to a photography studio. It seems as if even though it is the weekends, many of the more famous A ranks still need to work, especially the ones who are still in school. Three of the media members are in their last year of high school. The exceptions are River, who is in her third year of University, Luraland, who is much younger and is in the same grade as me- ninth. Fracken graduated high school last year, and Sassan and Rosie are in 11th.
I gain easy entrance to the studio; Miss Avery has allotted me a pass that allows me entry to most SERA00 related things, as long as it's for journaling purposes.
Harley is in the makeup room. She's the most interesting to watch. Before, classic motorcycle girl. After, princess-like cutie. Harley changes from her leather jacket and faux snake skin leggings into one of the SERA00 uniforms. It's more on the simple side. There's a purple plaid skirt with a loose-fitting fashion dress shirt. The dress shirt has gold buttons and chains for a more classy look but still keeping to the "dress shirt" feel. An open fronted vest with a studded collar layers on top, keeping with the overall purple pallate. Finally, a big droopy bow in the place of the tie finishes the look off. The top half of Harley's head has been entirely braided back, embellished with large purple headband, and the rest of her hair is hanging down in six carefully styled ringlets.
12:00 AM
After what feels like ten thousand poses and twenty thousand photos later (it is a test of ultimate patience as the staff fiddles with one detail for fifteen minutes), the photographer calls for the "Harley look". Every fan knows the "Harley look" well. The photographers always leapt on the fact that she was a real life motorcycle chick, and every photo shoot incorporated some type of "bad girl" pose. Harley was one of the quicker girls who started out as a C rank and shot to A within a year, like many of the media members.
"Warm, please," Harley drawled. I had no idea why she was talking about.
Multiple stylists ran onto the set. One shoved a juice bottle in her mouth, another replaced her droopy bow with a half-broken ragtag version, another took down her hair and did a cursory comb through, resulting in a very messy mass of volumous blond hair, and the last one applied an overdose of mascara and black eyeshadow.
"Cue water!"
Directly above Harley, a bucketful of warm water (that's what she meant) poured down, entirely drenching her. She didn't seem fazed at all though- I guess this wasn't the first photographer who loved the sopping-wet-and-messy singer look. I think there are more than three magazines' photographers here. This photoshoot is slightly more expensive; I can tell because they usually just cram us in tiny showers for the "wet" scenes. The makeup on her face ran down in black streaks, adding to the overall effect. They even had a legit motorcycle for her. Ahh, photographers these days...
1:30 PM
Harley exits the studio, back in her own clothes, face clean, wet hair pulled back in a bun. She has a late lunch at this healthy food restaurant, and then spoils her efforts by getting a hot fudge sundae in the midst of winter
2:03 PM
Harley heads for a beauty salon commonly visited by many of the SERA00 A ranks. Let's listen in!
Receptionist: Good morning, Harley! We've been expecting you. Just follow me this way...
*leads Harley to relatively private salon chair at back*
Receptionist: Your stylists will be with you in a second.
Stylists: Good morning, Harley!
Harley: Hey Sona, hi Yvonne.
Sona: What can I do for you today? *takes down Harley's ponytail, reclines chair*
Harley: Eh...wash my hair, little trim and a hair treatment and blowdry. Also I want my nails stripped clean, buffed and filed and all that.
Sona: No problem.
Yvonne: *goes to grab nail equipment*
(Sona is working on Harley's hair while Yvonne is working on Harley's hands)
(Within the first five minutes Harley falls asleep- personally I couldn't place so much trust in my stylists. I'm always anxious what they will do to me O_O)
3:00 PM
Sona: Harley, wake up...it's done...
Harley: Hmmmm.....? Oh... *sleepy mumble* It's cute...thank you very much.
(Leaves salon)
3:14 AM
Visits the library, picks up a book and reads for ten minutes before she is noticed. Even though Harley has picked a corner seat in the library, pretty soon there is a small crowd around her, begging for her autograph. Wooowww, the A ranks really attract a lot more attention than the B or Cs... Harley good naturedly signs all of their various belongings, and when she leaves has gotten little to none reading done.
4:07 PM (here we go)
Walks down road slowly, ambling as if she didn't really have any place to go. And then, suddenly, she spins around quick as a top and points her finger directly at me. Yep, she's spotted me. So much for Evie the stalker...
Harley: Come here, Evie.
Me: Erm...sorry Harley.
Harley: *laughs* No, it's quite alright. It's not your problem, I know you were tailing me for your blog.
Me: -__- You knew from the morning?
Harley: *grins* I don't miss much. Listen, there's nothing wrong with what you've done, but right now I have to meet someone and it's very important I go alone, okay, Evie?
Me: Yup. Got it. Totally.
Harley: Very good. Thank you. See you later! *brings hand up to throat and whisks around corner*
Me: *pauses for a moment or two while trying to recollect dignity* *edges forwards and peers around corner*
~there's nobody there~
So, seeing as I have lost my subject, the stalking ends there. Please continue to support SERA00!

The Riyuukan notes only the best talents in the nation, getting on the show is like an achievement.

The Media Members are in a CM
The fan-dubbed "Media Members" appeared in a commercial. Together.
TOGETHER.
That wasn't a SERA00 promotion.
The media members are a group of girls who tend to hang out together a lot, they are all A ranks and are the most popular members in SERA00. When you ask any person on the street, they will most likely know what SERA00 is. Moreover, when you ask them to name a couple of members, I guarantee you that every name will be one of the media members. The media members are the stars of SERA00- but they're also a group who are more tightly knitted than with any other SERA00 member.
There are seven or eight members in the media member posse. The reason it's seven or eight is because while there are eight of them who usually hang out, only seven of them appear as official media representatives. Like talk shows with "SERA00", they aren't going to invite all sixty of us. The seven media members usually attend.
So for an outside company to hire the entire media member posse for one commercial, they must have been willing to spend some big bucks.
The members in the media member posse are often outlined as these girls:
Sassan
Luna
Fracken
Angel
Harley
Rosie
River
Luraland
The first seven tend to appear in promos frequently, not so much as Alura "Luraland". Luraland is very close to Angel; more as a sense of family. The eight members happen to be the top eight in the rankings, although they are still the media members if the rankings change; the posse does not. In the recent years, rankings have swapped around within the top eight, but the eight of them stayed strong as the top members.
Luraland has the most amazing voice ever, I have to say. It is so sweet to listen to her voice; it is clear and princess-like. The perfectest voice I have ever heard. Better than anyone in the Fab 4. But her throat also happens to be more fragile than the average singer's, and as a result, to prevent damaging her vocal cords, she rarely speaks. This is why she doesn't appear in SERA00 promos and events, because she doesn't speak. This probably also contributes to her lower rank, as she under-promoted, perhaps the C ranks even rival her level of media exposure.
But no worries, the fans do recognize her amazing talent. Luraland holds the record for the most solo songs amongst us SERA00 girls, with Sassan following behind.
More later, love y'all! Please support SERA00!

A Day in the Life of...Imery!
Today, I, Evie the Amazing Stalker, brings to you another "A Day in the Life" segment! This B rank girl, a brunette, best friend of Thalia "Taz", yet a completely opposite personality than the outgoing Taz, who are we stalking today?
Bryce "Imery" Imbel, of Team Night, on her day off.
8:23 AM (hey, don't blame me, I was getting my beauty sleep)
Imery is eating breakfast with Taz. It seems as if they haven't caught on to Angel's tea obsession yet. They are eating udon.
9:22 AM
Departs from the SERA00 Complex. Imery is still with Taz and they head out for a walk.
9:56 AM
Back at the Complex. Imery does her homework in her room. Ahhh, the studious girl.
12:30 AM
Departs with Taz once again. They go out for lunch at Uptown Diner. Time to employ Evie's special stalker skills.
12:37 AM
I have successfully convinced the manager to allow me to pose as a waitress. My dirty blond hair is disguised under a black wig, pulled back in a ponytail. Shadows from my cap obscure my face. Let's go!
Me: Good morning, may I take your order?
Imery: *glances up*
Me: *freezes* (did she recognize me?)
Imery: *glances down*
Taz: I'll have the fish burger and a garden salad.
Imery: The tortellini please.
Me: Right away. Drops off order, pretends to clean table next to them to eavesdrop on their conversation.
Imery: Ugh. Now I regret getting the tortellini, Taz, am I getting fatter lately?
Taz: No. Anyways, have you decided on what you're wearing for the poster photo shoot?
Imery: D'you hear that Angel's gonna wear platform heels to make up for her height?
Taz: (pauses) I thought that the stylists decided what you wore.
Imery: Yeah...but if anything the media members have more influence on the stylists' choice than anyone else. I heard the C ranks in the dressing room talking about cardboard in their shoes.
Taz: So it looks like I'm gonna put some cardboard in my shoes too...
1:45 PM
Imery visits a card store, alone, and browses through the birthday cards. She picks two and buys them.
2:00 PM
A very hungry Evie buys a sandwich.
2:05 PM
Resumes stalking. Imery seems to be meeting someone...
2:25 PM
It turns out to be Imery's parents from far away! They spend some quality time at a coffee shop together...a lot of time, actually...
6:09 PM
They go out for dinner together.
The stalking ends here.
I will bring you the exciting day of an A rank next time!
Please support SERA00!

SERA00 Sweetshop: Part 2
Continuation of SERA00 Sweetshop: Part 1
I quickly changed into uniform and stepped into the dining area. The effect was instantaneous. Every head in the room turned my way and there was a sudden increase in whispers.
"Whoa! A SERA00 member!"
"Isn't that girl a C rank part of Aurora?...Evie?"
"It's Evie!"
"Yeah, Evie!"
"Evie!"
"Evie, we love you!"
I smiled widely and bowed where I was standing; it was a traditional action within SERA00 that we adopted when we realized it conveyed our thanks more effectively than shouting "thank you" at the top of our lungs.
I reached into the uniform's pocket and retrieved a pad and pencil, heading towards a table of three. "Good afternoon, and welcome to the SERA00 Sweetshop. I'm Evie, what can I get for you today?"
"We'd like the assorted cakes..." one of them replied excitedly.
"Certaintly." I recorded their order, dropped it off at the kitchen, and swept away to the next table, every eye on me. With a refreshed look at the situation, I could see that everything was coming along quicker and smoother. But even though we were moving quicker, the amount of customers waiting had swelled; perhaps word of a SERA00 member's arrival had spread in the streets. Or perhaps it was just high tea time.
A couple of orders later, I received a text: Miss Avery was unavailable. Angel says go for it. As the leader of the group and a senior member, Angel had quite an amount of authority, but not nearly as much as Miss Avery.
I stuffed the pad and pencil back into the uniform and rushed forwards to whisper in Fela's ear. She understood immediately and the two of us disappeared into the kitchen, leaving behind a confused crowd of customers. We were already playing SERA00 music, but when we abruptly changed the song and cranked up the volume a few notches, there were murmurs of interest from the customers. Grabbing my personalize wireless mic, I waltzed out into the main dining area and made a big show of noisily starting the dance sequence; a poor attempt on my part to attract attention ^_^"
I launched into the chorus of a well known SERA00 song. The backup track was a mix of SERA00's most popular songs. "Look up, look up, look up, I said look up, look up, look up. Cuz wherever you are, you're never alone, and the stars in the sky, will never fall, so look up, look up, look up..." I sang until I realized that there was another voice behind me. My eyes swiveled without breaking the flow of my voice, and I saw that the B rank Elena Fernandez "Fern" had joined me. I grinned at her as we transitioned smoothly into another song, our newest single.
"Accelerate, don't stop or wait, music keep you going till it's too late..."
It was a good day for SERA00's Sweetshop.
Please support SERA00! Love y'all fans out there!
I quickly changed into uniform and stepped into the dining area. The effect was instantaneous. Every head in the room turned my way and there was a sudden increase in whispers.
"Whoa! A SERA00 member!"
"Isn't that girl a C rank part of Aurora?...Evie?"
"It's Evie!"
"Yeah, Evie!"
"Evie!"
"Evie, we love you!"
I smiled widely and bowed where I was standing; it was a traditional action within SERA00 that we adopted when we realized it conveyed our thanks more effectively than shouting "thank you" at the top of our lungs.
I reached into the uniform's pocket and retrieved a pad and pencil, heading towards a table of three. "Good afternoon, and welcome to the SERA00 Sweetshop. I'm Evie, what can I get for you today?"
"We'd like the assorted cakes..." one of them replied excitedly.
"Certaintly." I recorded their order, dropped it off at the kitchen, and swept away to the next table, every eye on me. With a refreshed look at the situation, I could see that everything was coming along quicker and smoother. But even though we were moving quicker, the amount of customers waiting had swelled; perhaps word of a SERA00 member's arrival had spread in the streets. Or perhaps it was just high tea time.

SERA00 Sweetshop: Part 1
After the milkshakes, I had Thebes (she was driving, we made the guards stay "out of sight"; which they think means to "stare creepily through the windows of the sweets shop") drop me off at the SERA00 Sweetshop. It's a café owned by SERA00. And when I'm too old to sing and dance in SERA00, I will ask Miss Avery to appoint me as SERA00's official stuff-namer. I mean; SERA00 Sweetshop. SERA00 Complex. SERA00 Theatre. Surely one can be more unique that that???
The Sweetshop is located just in the town next to the complex, and is completely owned by SERA00. We sell tea, coffee, milkshakes, juices, and the likes of that; we also have an assortment of pretty cakes and tarts, along with a small menu. It's not a large café, so we have a small number of staff to keep the atmosphere genial. All girls, of course, keeping up with the theme of SERA00.
Despite our feminine ambiance and menu, the Sweetshop is immensely popular with both girls and guys, perhaps a little more with the latter. Admittedly, most of our customers are fans who want to visit the reputable little Sweetshop owned by their favourite band. The real treat lies for the fans when, instead of the usual staff, a SERA00 member appears from the kitchen. Most SERA00 girls do drop in to provide the much-needed help now and then, perhaps the less famous girls more frequently.
Of course, being a C rank, I work there all too often, and the manager knows me well. Besides, when you're a minor living away from home, with all your SERA00 money going to your parents to hold on for you, the extra right-into-my-pocket allowance is greatly welcomed. So I had called in to check with the manager who invited me with passion. Or maybe it was from breathlessness. I could almost imagine her carrying five platters while clamping the phone between her head and shoulder. Unlike most managers, I think she's really passionate about her job and works harder than any of the staff. With the ridiculous maximum limit of eight staff, including the manager and chefs, but excluding any drop-in SERA00 members, I can imagine that she welcomes the help.
Upon arriving at the Sweetshop, I slipped in discreetly through the back door. At this café, any SERA00 member, famous or not, could cause quite a commotion. The manager looked quite relieved to see me (really, why does Miss Avery keep that staff limit rule in place?). The manager is a really nice girl. All the staff are girls in their late teens, usually working part-time jobs while in school. The manager has the uniquest name in the history of names. No kidding. She's really cool about it, but seriously, where on earth did her parents stumble across a name like Felabeorht? Apparently Felabeorht is a real name that means "brilliant", so instead of using that mouthful of a name, we call her Fela or Brilla (they sorta rhyme ^_^).
Fela was short of breath, so were the four other waitresses; the three chefs were whipping up food in flurries.
"There are a bunch of customers milling around for a table, a bunch of people waiting to place orders, and to get their food, and tables that need to be cleaned..." Fela moaned.
"Don't worry," I reassured Fela. "Girls!" All the wait staff had heard my entrance and gathered in the back room. "April and Brisley, clear the tables and wash the dishes. Cassie, bring out the food and and whatever service the customers need. Fela, you go entertain the people waiting, show them SERA00 merchandise or posters, whatever, I'll go take orders with Tessa."
Like I said before, the atmosphere is very genial and I admire that Fela doesn't act like the big boss. She's can lead her staff well but is also content to let someone else give orders, whether it's a SERA00 member or one of the waitresses. I guess it helps that we're all close in age. Fela also has this belief that SERA00 members can handle people better...hmmm. But she also knows the value of me taking orders.
This creates a close connection between the celebrity and their fans. Having someone from the group you idolize serve you; it's not something that happens to anyone. And it's only possible with SERA00 due to our "idols you can meet" motto. Even after one of the super-extremely-popular first generation members, Sadie Night, joined the G rank, her career blossomed and she gained even more fans as a solo artist. But her fans weren't able to meet her in such a amiable setting or have her serve you tea, for that matter, like they could have when she was still in SERA00.
The other reason I didn't entertain the guests myself was because SERA00 members weren't allowed to give public concerts, no matter how small, without permission. I had sent a quick text back to the complex and hoped to hear a reply soon.
And that's the first part of the story of the SERA00 Sweetshop. This is getting to be a long short story and I don't want to bore you in this post so I'll continue the story of that day in Part 2! Yay! Please continue to support SERA00 and we give you all our love!

Milkshakes or meetings?
Remember how I said there are four big SERA00 events, one each season? And do you remember what come in the spring? That's right, the promo flurries!! (...yes, and recruitment, that too, whatever...)
So anyways, today there were no classes, and there won't be any over the long weekend, due to a series of meetings to finalize the spring promotion plans. It mostly between the senior members, the management and administration, but every SERA00 member is welcome to join in. You know, last minute objections and stuff?
So over the weekend we will have nothing to do except for the 5 days in a row SERA00 Encore concerts (we kicked it off on Valentine's Day, and the last day is Family Day).
I actually have no clue what they're planning for spring, but I trust they'll be creative. I was going to listen in for the fun of it like I usually do with SERA00 meetings, but a senior B rank, Thebes, had a counteroffer; to chaperone a bunch of us to the new ice cream store in town! They're already famous for their milkshakes (O_O)*~*gimmegimmemiiiiilkshaaakes*~*~*
The big question was: MILKSHAKES OR MEETINGS?
As you probably guessed...I chose milkshakes...
...interesting story, says Rome...

Please support SERA00 and come see one of our Full House concerts! ^_^

NEW SINGLE + Happy Valentine's Day!
Hey SERA00 fans!!
Well, as you might have heard, yes, SERA00 released a new single today! I'm actually pretty tired so I'll blog about today's events some other day. All I'll say is there were many promo events for the new single, and multiple performances of it.
We cracked open the theatre extensions and performed the new single in a SERA00 Encore concert. So before I hit the sack, I'll share some of the lyrics with you! It's a fast-paced catchy song that caught on with the fans really quickly; the sales skyrocketed thousands within the first minute! Here it is:
Accelerate
~a single by SERA00~
Accelerate
Don't stop or wait
Music keep you going
'Till it's too late
Accelerate
Don't stop or wait
Heart gon' keep on pounding
'Till it's too late
Accelerate
All the way
Accelerate
Every day
Accelerate
All the way
Accelerate
~ ~ ~
Good night everyone! Please listen to the new single and support SERA00! Love y'all! Happy Valentine's Day <3

A Day in the Life of...Evie!
As I promised, I am starting the "Day in the Life" segments with myself. Since my life is uninteresting, I'll give you a walk through of a usual day. But for the others, I'll try to catch them on a day off! ~~ the accomplished stalker, Evie, will stalk one member of SERA00 for a day and report everything in their private lives! Today we will stalk...myself! Does that make sense...how can I stalk myself O_o
Let's start!
7:00 AM
Alarm clock blares in my ear. I shut up the alarm clock with a smash that belongs in the boxing championships. Back to sleep.
7:30 AM
Rome shouts in my ear, "Wake up, Evie, for SERA00's sake!" I know she put that last part in just to annoy me.
"Go'way, Romy..."
"Miss Avery said-"
"I'm up."
8:00 AM
Breakfast in the dining hall. We love our chef; he doesn't just make the classic eggs and bacon. Today was noodles, dumplings, and tons of fruit. And, not to be forgotten......tea. Believe it or not, we're not just one happy group. Different members usually flock together. The most noticeable- the popular posse, the group of girls, mostly first generation, including but not limited to the fabulous four. They eat sooo much. I guess they work hard enough to burn off all those calories throughout the day.
8:45 AM
Back in dorm, getting ready for school. Slips on uniform, grabs book back, runs out of room, realizes I'm not wearing shoes.
9:00 AM
Sitting through ninth grade English- I'm in a class with all the other C ranks. We have girls younger than me all the way to girls older than Sassan or Luna. Our curriculum is enhanced (read: extremely hard) to make up for the short class time. DOMINANT EFFECT. Someone tell me why knowing dominant effect will help me in life.
10:30 AM
Close English, open Science. It takes many years for the light from stars to reach us, so by the time they do...we are only seeing memories from the past. ...whoa, deep...
**second day classes**(just for you to get an idea)
9:00 AM
Onto Math. [3/16 + (3/-4)] x (-3/8) ÷ 1/4 = 27/32. Oh my great- let us move on.
10:30 AM
Geography...colouring maps. Oh, joy.
**back to the actual segment**
12:00 PM
Lunch! Grabbed a nice roast beef sandwich with some other girls. Watched Fracken expertly grab five cups of tea in each hand to bring back to her table. Have some free time before next class.
2:00 PM
Vocals class! Now we're getting into the exciting classes! Ms. Ryan always starts of the class with some vocal warmups (brr-brrrrr-brrrrrrrr!). Then she gets our voices going with short silly childrens' songs like Row Row Row Your Boat. Ms. Ryan refines our skills with repertoire songs, and then of course, we get to the SERA00 songs! It's always the most fun part for me. "Hit the high note right on," Ms. Ryan coached. "You girls have a tendency to rise in pitch until you hit the note- this causes you to be flat at the beginning of the note. We've gone over this, girls, come on!"
"Good job, Evie! Girls, remember to keep smiles on your faces for your fans while you're singing, like Evie," Ms. Ryan smiles at me. I beamed. Then, she said, "Oh, but Evie? Watch the ends of your phrases. You tend to chop them off sharply." All proudness has gone elsewhere.
3:30 PM
Dance class with our choreographer, Alexandrea. Her moves are amazing, and when she demonstrates them, it looks impossible. But somehow she breaks them down into learnable segments, so that by the time we've got it down, I must say it looks amazing ^_^
We're doing the new choreography for our next single.
"Alright, next four beats, is this." Alexandrea launches into some fast up-down-spin-what that looks quite pro. "It's quite simple." She gets the usual murmur of doubt from the girls. "This is how it goes, girls. From the previous step, you end up with your right foot slightly behind your left. Now, step forwards with your right, bend your knees. One motion, that's beat one. Beat two, thrust your right knee high up to the left, follow with your arms. Beat three, use the momentum from your knee to spin in a full circle to your left, on your toes. Arms out to your side, perpendicular to the floor. Beat four, arrive back at vertical stance with hands at your side."
Did you get any of that?
"Ready, girls? One, two, three and four again one, two..."
5:00 PM
Exhausted and sweaty girls emerge from dance class. Free time, time to shower.
6:00 PM
There's no set time for dinner, as the girls all have different night schedules. It's a drop in and eat sort of thing. The sizzling steak with melted butter looked reaaaly appetizing, but I have a show tonight, and I don't want to barf onstage...
I grabbed a fried rice and a -behold the terribleness- tea!
6:30 PM
The TVs in the complex flicker to life and music fills the air - the daily show has begun and they are broadcasting it live for the rest of the girls to enjoy. Seeing the same thing every single night does get boring...eventually. But as per usual, the 00 rank members open up the show with six songs. They are the only ones who consistently perform every night. It is another full house, like yesterday, and the day before that, and the days before that.
7:00 PM
Hearing the 00 ranks singing still, I head towards makeup and wardrobe. Unlike what the fans might think, we do not have personal makeup artists and hair stylists for our day-to-day concerts. No, everything is done by ourselves!
7:15 PM
Lining up in formation, waiting for our stage appearance in fifteen minutes. Team Aurora is performing tonight; Sassan is in the lead and the audience will love her. Along with familiar faces like Rome and Kansas, we quietly line up behind the second curtain in a triangle formation.
Sassan is at the tip, with four rows behind her. Here is the formation (the letters represent the rank of the girl):
.........A.......
.......A A......
.....B A B....
...B B B B...
.C C C C C.
7:30 PM
Curtain rises.
We sing our six songs, nice big line up, a bow and a thank-you-very-much-everyone!
There's usually an encore call that comes quick after we leave the stage, so for the encore the performing team takes up the call with the song most shouted for by the fans.
8:30 PM
Done for the day! Time to tackle homework...go to bed...and repeat ^_^
Hope you guys enjoyed this segment! Please support SERA00!

Too. Much. Tea.
You know how in a sort of hierarchical group like SERA00, we have the ones at the bottom, the neutral in the middle, and the all-famous ones at the top, who kindly ask their staff for stuff. And then, cuz they're the most famous, the staff gladly oblige, informing Ms. Tallan, who either rebounds the request to the staff, or gets a lower rank SERA00 member to complete the request.
And then, still, you'd think, the lowest are the 00 ranks, get them to do it! But NO.
They're too young, they're not yet properly accustomed to SERA00 life, says Miss Avery... Hey, C ranks, why don't you do it?
Let me tell you now- the most popular in SERA00 flock together, they are best friends. The media members. And they drink a whole lot of tea. And I mean HEAPS. LOADS. Boatloads and truckloads of it.
And that was the story of how I ended up at the supermarket, buying the entire shelf of super-sized orange pekoe and green tea. According to Miss Avery, we don't consume enough tea to buy legit wholesale tea like we do with our food yet.
I blame Angel, okay? Yeah, I love her, I still blame her for starting the whole tea fad going through SERA00 like an epidemic.
On the plus side, I was actually recognized by a group of teens at the supermarket while I was standing in line at the cash register. They were older than me by the looks of them, so it was kind of weird seeing them intimidated to approach me. But once a brave soul approached me and asked, "Hi, excuse me, are you Evie from SERA00?" The rest gravitated towards me.
I signed autographs and chatted with my fans until I was at the front of the line, and after I let them take a few snapshots with me. They may have thought they were lucky to meet me, but I was feeling happy that they had approached me. A fan means more to a singer than the fans know.
So, lugging ten bags of boxes of tea back to the SERA00 complex, that was how I spent my free time today.
Bye bye! Please support SERA00!
Love y'all!

Snow OVERLOAD
Right, so there are no concerts, so guess what happens to us lil' SERA00 Members?
Miss Avery gets free labour from a force of sixty-six girls. (yea, we currently have six 00 ranks)
Shoveling snow.
Up to our thighs.
No, we are not a weak force just because we are girls. Do YOU sing and dance everyday? Hours of practicing, plus concerts. Our dance teacher sees to it that we are fitter than Olympians. Maybe she's working in league with Miss Avery O_O
You ask- don't we have people for this type of stuff- surely idols don't shovel snow? Here's how it went:
Miss Avery: Girls!
Us: Yes!
Miss Avery: Shovels out front! I want the grounds cleared!
Us: Yes Miss!
Tricia(the so-called "annoying" 00 rank, see the SERA00 Member Profiles): Us? Whyyyyyy do weeee have to shovel the snow?
Miss Avery: It isn't shoveling itself.
Tricia: Can't the staff do it? Like, what are they hired for?
Angel: *steely warning glare*
Tricia: I mean, are they that useless they can't shovel some measly flecks of snow?
Miss Avery: *coldly* If there are only some measly flecks of snow, there should be no problem for you to shovel it all yourself.
Tricia: But they're hired-
Miss Avery: *interrupts* Where's our leader... Angel! Please spread the message that the staff in the gardening department have the day off. And Tricia Henrie, you'd best learn some respect.
~ end of conversation ~
Ahhh, we do love Miss Avery ;)
Byebye lotsa love <3 data-blogger-escaped-br=""> Please support SERA00!

Official SERA00 Announcement
I think I might post more of these official announcements- they are important news for our fans right from the source, the official SERA00 website. Anyways, here it is:
SERA00 Supporters:
We care for the safety of our supporters, and due to the inclement weather and dangerous driving conditions, the SERA00 Theatre will be closed today and tomorrow. All shows are canceled. If you have purchased a ticket to a show during one of the two dates, please call the theatre and we will gladly reschedule your ticket. We are sorry for any inconvenience and we hope you will continue to support SERA00.
Translation: NO SHOWS. Go home. We don't want our fans' cars stuck in the three feet high snow. We don't want our fans in car crashes. Come again another time!
Bye bye, we love you all!

Quick movie update :)
Okay so just quickly adding some info here~~
We received word that because the movie features an all-SERA00 cast (well, basically all the mains are SERA00 members), the casting agents thought it would make more sense for them to come to our theatre than for all sixty of us to go to their place to audition.
Which means... I'll be able to sit in on the auditions!! Yessss! This is gonna be do much fun, especially seeing the fab 4 audition.
I will report back when the auditions take place! (I think it might be a while)
Alright, happy days everyone!

Movie scripts!
A big big big box arrived at our theatre today - scripts!! We finally found out what the movie was about and it's a really cool plot (at least I think so).
So the plot revolves around a all-female group of secret agents working to stop an underground mafia. The main character is Secret Agent R, the leader of the group. She often investigates their cases alone, apart from the other agents. Her sidekick, second in command, often takes leadership of the group and relays information from Secret Agent R to the rest of the group. This smooth and cunning Secret Agent T was a double agent from the spy group. She was under the guise of working for the mafia by spying on the agents. She performed her role so well that the agents in the team began to suspect that perhaps Secret Agent T was actually working for the mafia. Of course, it's only dramatic irony as all the audience know that Secret Agent T is a good guy...girl...good girl... ... ...
The devilish villain was supposedly a woman who had a face so innocent, she was able to get away with most of her evil deeds. That further demonstrated her evilness as the woman didn't care for her mafia followers. She allowed as many of them to be captured, killed, as long as she herself slipped from the hands of authority.
That's all I'll disclose for now. Watch the movie for the full story ;) Gosh, I sound like those pesky advertisers. (read the following in a deep and booming voice) "For more information, visit www.sera00.blogspot.com."
The movie, titled after the the villain, is named SERA.
Bye bye! Until next time.

SERA00 mooovie!
HA. I am safe! (from prying eyes on my grades). So, the unfortunate Tansy was the only one to be expelled, but a couple of members were given warnings - bring up your grades or you will be no different from Tansy. Naturally, all the A ranks were all ~perfect little straight A students~ keeping up their oh-so-adorable-role-model characters. Ah well... One can only hope!
So, guess what? We've just got word that we'll be filming another SERA00 Special! This time, it'll be a nice one-and-half-hour film starring the members of SERA00. But apparently there aren't enough parts for all sixty of us ^_^" so we have to audition and the rest of us will be random people walking the street...
Aaanyways, there's no doubt that one of the fab 4 will get the lead role... The question is only WHO will it be?? The talk going around predicts that Luna is going to beat Sassan to the part of the lead, as there's already a lot of talk going around that Luna is going to steal Sassan's throne (look at the List of Members tab for the rankings) at the 2013 SERA00 Elections. Well, Gorlog forbid that.
Not surprisingly, Fracken is in everyone's high hopes for the part of the suede supporting character. What will that mean for Sassan and Angel? We shall find out soon!
That's all the info we have on the film right now. When we get the script for auditions, I'll secretly disclose the plot to you ;)
Lotsa love from Evie!

Bad exams=no SERA00
Ooh, the results are out! Exam marks are out today and SERA00 staff are going through each members' marks. Any too-low marks are reported to the manager, who then decides your horrible fate.
Yes, the SERA00 behavior rule is still in place: misbehavior leads to expulsion.
And the first unfortunate girl --> 00 rank Tansy --> expelled.
Evie shall report any more misfortune! Stay tuned! (eheheh they still haven't gotten to the C ranks yet...)

Winter Photo Shoot *~*~*
Hey SERA00 fans!
It's me, Evie, back to report about the last minute photo shoot like I promised. Okay, so, I guess it really WAS last minute, cuz they literally had, like, twenty-five staff for the six of us girls. There were two C ranks (me and Rome), one brand new 00 rank (Ariande: nickname Ariel), two B ranks (Taz and Imery), and one A rank (Rosie).
I had two makeup artists, one hairstylist, and two wardrobe staff.
This photo shoot was promoting a winter fair opening in two weeks, and the ticket sales were running low. They had hired five SERA00 girls for three hours and were apparently going to make the best out of every single minute.
With the earth-toned palette, we were dressed in whites, taupes, browns, and lavenders.
In the end, a couple of themed pictures were chosen to appear in the ads.
Me, Rome, and Ariel were depicted in woolly pompom hats, building a snowman in front of a ferris wheel.
Taz and Imery were stuffed in fat coats with fluffy faux-fur lining the hood. They were instructed to appear laughing while playing a knock-the-bottles game.
And Rosie got the single shoot; dressed in a button-down tweed trench coat, she was sipping a hot chocolate while posing next to a huge cardboard logo for the winter fair.
So, you might see us in the ads ;)
