Do you know how to ride a motorbike?
No, I don't. And I don't really plan to. I've always found them very dangerous, not the adrenaline rush I
occasionally like getting. No matter how much people try to convince me that it's safe as long as you're a
safe driver, I won't believe it 'cause you're defenseless against the reckless driver beside you that's driving
a car or a truck!
SUV or pickup truck? And what model would you drive?
SUV. In my dreams I'm riding a Lincoln Navigator or a Range Rover. I also like jeeps. I've always liked
the Jeep Wrangler, although they're not very comfortable. I like sporty and rugged cars. But I'm not really
into cars so I'm not too familiar with the models?
Does life in front of the camera ever become too much? What do you do to relax?
No, not really. I've never made it go that far. But to get away from it all, I like leaving the city and traveling.
I go to Boracay often, which is a perfect getaway. I'll sit by the caf? my boyfriend owns, nurse a cup of tea or hot
chocolate and read a magazine or book, design something on my computer, finish my crossword puzzles, play
backgammon on my Palm or play with my GameBoy. Or I'll wander aimlessly up and down the beach photographing
people, children, the sunset, or just about anything I find interesting there, which is plenty. It's absolute therapy to
be there. I've never really been a city girl. Being a Leo, I tend to gravitate towards the mountains. I have a certain
affinity with nature and the great outdoors.
Scuba diving or skydiving?
Scuba diving for sure. I haven't done either but I would choose scuba diving before sky diving any day.
What's your idea of a fantastic date?
My idea of a fantastic date would have a bit of fun and adventure and a whole lotta' romance. First of all, it's gotta
be with someone special, or at least, someone I'm interested in. I'm a really romantic person and like I said, I love
being away from the city, so it would be great to take a trip out of town. The journey itself can be lots of fun and
adventurous, I like taking road trips! You can learn a lot about someone just with the time you spend talking in the car.
Food is key, so definitely, do lunch or dinner. Or do both! Hey, believe me, a fantastic date shouldn't end after lunch?
I guess that, coupled with a great conversation amidst a really nice mountain or ocean setting would be wonderful. I also
love going to theme parks and zoos. So, if we had good places like that to go to here then that would be another option.
But then again, a great date is really all about how well you connect with the other person. It doesn't have to have the
perfect setting; I believe it can happen anywhere really.
We couldn't have said it better ourselves. What freaks you out?
Bats! I'm not very fond of bats. I also don't like rats and I think ?ying cockroaches are sick and freaky cause they ?y
straight at you. Have you ever noticed that?! It's like they get drawn towards those who fear them the most, 'cause
they never seem to ?y towards the ones who aren't bothered by them. But bats are like ?ying rats, so they take the cake!
Classic horror movies are also really freaky. Like the ones done in the late '70s or '80s. They're so much scarier than the
ones done now.
How many text messages do you receive per day on average?
I'm not sure. But I get a lot of text messages. Before I wake up I already have almost 10 messages waiting on my phone,
most are jokes and inspirational messages my mom sends me. And she sends this everyday, no fail. It's really sweet.
What's the best thing that's ever happened to you in the course of your career?
I've been doing this for ten years so that's a long time to look back on. So many great things happened to me in the past
ten years. That's almost half my life, for crying out loud! I've graduated, I've traveled to so many beautiful places, met so
many people. It's hard to say what the greatest is. I'd like to think the best is yet to come.
What sports are you into?
I can play a lot of different sports but I don't do one regularly. Growing up, I was into horseback riding and badminton.
When I was in grade school, I won a few medals for track and field and swimming. In school, I played volleyball for the
intramurals and I was in my college varsity team for soccer. Then I also got into jetskiing 'cause I was always at the
beach, which later evolved into wakeboarding. At one point in time, I also played a bit of squash. I can still do all of
them decently, but I just don't have the time to do any of them regularly now.
Fresh garden salad or juicy hamburger?
I don't eat anything with four legs, or are in the endangered list so unless it's a juicy turkey burger, then I'd choose a
fresh garden salad.
Sparkling beach or challenging mountain?
I'd like to have it all and be on a sparkling beach in front of a challenging mountain?
Fine wine or good ol' beer?
I quit drinking alcohol so right now, neither of the two.
