00:00If you're not busy with your work or using your platform to pursue your advocacies, what do you want to do?
00:08Shopping?
00:09No, I don't really like shopping.
00:12What I really enjoy now is the quiet time.
00:16When I journal, I went through a lot in 2021.
00:22So I'm still healing from it.
00:25I don't know how long it will last. I hope I can heal from that completely.
00:31But now, if I don't have work, I'll spend more time with my mom.
00:36Because in 2021, we went through a lot with the pandemic.
00:45So my whole family got COVID.
00:47And then three of my family members died.
00:50Days apart.
00:51So I lost my grandpa, I lost my dad, and I lost my eldest brother.
00:56So I really went through a lot until now.
01:01And then we went home. My dad's urn was on September 22.
01:10And then I had to go to lock-in on the 25th.
01:13I went to lock-in for Little Princess.
01:15So I didn't get to grieve.
01:17But that was also by choice.
01:19Because GMA gave me a chance.
01:22After what happened to us, they told me,
01:24The show will wait for you if you can't do it right now.
01:27And I said, I want to do it.
01:29Because that was the last.
01:32Because my manager is my eldest brother.
01:35That's what I said, I'm teasing my dad.
01:38So I was thinking, that was the last show that he was in.
01:43So he really closed that deal for me.
01:47So I said, I still want to do it.
01:49And because my dad was finally gone.
01:52So I said goodbye to him.
01:54Because I thought he would still be able to come home.
01:57I thought we would still see each other.
01:59So I said goodbye to him.
02:01That if I could continue with the show.
02:04Because I wanted to do it.
02:06Because my brother is my eldest brother.
02:08So I said, I still want to honor doing that for him.
02:11So my dad said,
02:13Okay, son, just continue with your game.
02:16And after that, my mom called me.
02:20That I was gone.
02:22So I didn't see them.
02:25I didn't have a proper goodbye.
02:27And I had to go to lock-in.
02:29And my breakdowns,
02:33I felt like,
02:35Okay, wait, I still need to do something.
02:37I'll do it on my own.
02:39And I was still going crazy when I was in lock-in.
02:43Because the story of Little Princess is,
02:45There are parts that are close to me.
02:48Especially the part that was put in the ICU.
02:51Before, there were dream sequences.
02:54So when I cried there,
02:55Miss Pia, it's true.
02:57And when I got gutted,
02:59I couldn't even get gutted.
03:01So they gave me the time.
03:03Okay, just cry there.
03:04And all of them,
03:05I felt like they were very careful.
03:07Because they knew what I went through.
03:10And what I lost was,
03:13It was just a very short period of time.
03:15My older brother passed away on August 26.
03:19My grandfather passed away on September 1.
03:22My father passed away on September 21.
03:25So, there.
03:27I said, all of my tears,
03:29I said, okay, I'll just make him nervous.
03:32I'll just cry when I have to pay.
03:34That's the joke I made on myself.
03:36But that's it.
03:37I used it.
03:38And when I was praying,
03:40I was going crazy.
03:41I said,
03:42Maybe you gave me such a difficult memory
03:46or experience.
03:47So that when there are crying scenes,
03:49I have something to do.
03:51Because when I started in showbiz,
03:53when there are scenes where I have to cry,
03:55I had a hard time.
03:56Because,
03:57I can't say that my life is perfect.
04:00But I can say that,
04:02growing up,
04:03my life was happy.
04:05I have a complete family.
04:06I know that I'm full of love.
04:08I'm loved by my family,
04:10by my friends.
04:11So, I said,
04:12Where can I get those tears?
04:16So, what happened to my family,
04:18I said,
04:19Maybe I'm also blessed that,
04:21here,
04:22you have something to cry about.
04:24You're full of emotion when you need one.
04:27Like anything is available.
04:29I have something to get.
04:31So, that's it.
04:32Right now,
04:33when there are moments
04:35where I can rest,
04:37I just spend it with my mom
04:40and with myself.
04:41I continue my journaling every night.
04:47And since I'm always on tape,
04:49when I get home,
04:50I just sleep.
04:51I don't do it anymore.
04:52So, I said,
04:53I concentrate on that.
04:54Because I want to be reminded
04:58of how I was before.
05:00How I handled my emotions
05:05and my thoughts.
05:06So, that's it.
05:07That's where I concentrate
05:09and have free time.
