Q & A
On the spot:
Why did you enter showbiz?
"Kasi noong una talaga ayoko kasi nahihiya ako tapos gusto ko talaga 'yung showbiz kasi mahilig ako sa entertainment. 'Yung gusto ko sa sarili ko nageentertain, gusto ko rin kumanta-kanta, sumayaw-sayaw sa mga tao. Hindi ko naman inasam na maging artista, gusto ko lang 'yung maka-entertain ng tao. Pasok na pasok siya kasi gusto ko tapos ok pa yung kita, aminin mo 'yan."
What was the toughest challenge you had to face?
"'Yung sa Pinoy Records, 'yung pinasok ako sa drum tapos pinaikot ikot ako. 'Yun 'yung pinakamahirap na sobrang ayoko ng challenge na 'yun. Sabi ko kaagad hindi ko makakalimutan ito, toughest challenge."
What is your biggest frustration or regret?
"Nung tinurn down ko 'yung Pussycat Dolls. Frustration ko 'yung gusto ko talaga maging Pussycat Dolls kaso hindi talaga pwede eh. 'Yun lang kasi ang cool cool nila."
What is your most unforgettable experience?
"Siguro 'yun na, 'yung Disneyland sa Hongkong lang pero ang saya-saya ko doon. 'Yung walang nakikialam sa iyo sa Hongkong."
What are you most proud of?
"My boobs. Joke lang! I'm proud of myself, 'yun lang kasi I'm vain. Hindi, I'm proud of what I have achieved in my life kasi hindi ko akalain na mapupunta ako rito."
Describe yourself in three words.
"Humble, sexy, beautiful—'yun lang. Hindi, mas gusto ko [pala] happy, friendly, and wild."
What is your most memorable experience with a fan?
"Wala naman basta doon sa thread kapag nagchachat kami para kaming party people. Hindi, meron pala isa nakasalubong ko lang siya sa elevator tapos biglang kinausap niya ako kasi natatawa siya sa akin. Kasi nag-thank you ako doon sa mga tao hindi nila ako iniwan kasi muntik na ako masarhan. 'Yun, ang bait niya sa akin at hanggang ngayon nagtetext siya sa akin.
What are your fears?
"Mabankrupt. Maging broke. 'Yun naman talaga kasi ako naman hindi lang ako nagtratrabaho for myself, for my siblings din. Siguro fear ko 'yung hindi ako makaipon, 'yung ganun, 'yung mapunta sa wala 'yung pinaghihirapan ko.
What is your biggest dream?
"Huwag lang mawalan ng trabaho. Ok lang sa akin basta hindi ko naman hinahangad na maging bida. Siguro maraming artista 'yung hinahangad 'yun, basta sa akin, ok 'yung ginagawa ko pero gusto ko din maging magaling na host. 'Yun talaga 'yung pangarap ko noong bata pa ako."
