00:00Start, action, action, action, action, action, action.
00:20Welcome!
00:42I am so happy to have you with me.
00:45It's a big world and I am now a big girl.
00:47Come with me, here in Heartworld.
00:53We all have a happy place and for me, the happy place, sad place, that became my happy
00:58place is Paris.
00:59And guess what?
01:00It's your happy place too.
01:01So for the very first time, it's an exclusive for you only, you will see my hard-earned
01:08treehouse in Paris.
01:10So, bienvenue, welcome to my apartment in Paris!
01:16So, when I bought it, I think a few years ago, my dream was to have an apartment in Paris.
01:37I thought it was impossible, but the impossible became possible because I went through a difficult
01:44time.
01:45There was a time in my life na kailangan kong patunayan sa sarili ko na kaya kong tumayo
01:50na mag-isa, na kaya kong mag-isa.
01:54This is really a struggle because I don't even know how to fill up forms.
01:58Form nga sa bako, natataranta ako, ito pa kaya.
02:01But anyway, we're going to learn from this.
02:06I never travel alone, ever since I was a little girl.
02:09So, in my mind, I'm still a little girl when it comes to traveling.
02:14I usually travel with my team.
02:15I don't know a lot of things because I usually travel with my mom and her assistant when
02:20growing up in Chauvis.
02:22And nung time na yun, nanginginig na yung mga kamay ko kaka-paint.
02:29Nagbenta ako ng alahas, kung ano-ano nang ginawa ko para ma-achieve ko to.
02:33And even if it was a bad time in my life, what the devil uses for evil, God will use for
02:40good.
02:41So, I'm in a happy place.
02:42Nagkaroon na ako ng apartment sa Paris.
02:47Welcome to my sala.
02:50So, when I was able to purchase this, it was a mess.
02:55So cool.
02:56Kailangan ko ito.
02:57At 6 o'clock na rin, mati na kami ngayon.
03:01One day, I'm going to have a museum.
03:04All of my fashion stories, experience, all of that.
03:09I got this sofa.
03:10This one is from Lignette.
03:12If I'm not mistaken, that's how you pronounce it.
03:14All of these pillows are from Manila.
03:16Iruwi ko talaga siya.
03:17And then, the carpet was already here.
03:20But the white carpets, I wanted to do all white because I wanted to make it feel fresh.
03:25Na kahit ang dami kong mga anik-anik, mga awubots, it's all still very cohesive with one another.
03:31Inunanahan ko na kayo kasi pag mapunta kayo, ay, maliit lang pala.
03:34So, at least, inunahan ko na kayo.
03:36Pag kanyan kayo nag-design ng bahay, minsan confusing.
03:39Ang ako nga, maximalist.
03:41So, ang ginawa ko, dahil maliit lang yung bahay ko, yung mga tips ko was,
03:45I tried to bring, of course, yung mga times na yun.
03:49Halos lahat na makakita mo doon galing sa Manila.
03:52I wanted everything to have a common theme, which I wanted all of the colors to be majority white.
03:58Para malinis lang siya.
03:59Tapos kung magkakaroon ka ng pop of color, malalagi mo doon sa shelf mo.
04:04But I wanted to have character.
04:05So, that's what I did.
04:06It's all about putting together your most prized possessions
04:10and color coordinating each shelf.
04:14Para hindi siya magulo sa paninig.
04:16So, this is outside of Paris.
04:18Mahirap na kasi madami mga akit-bahay gang doon.
04:21Pero, basically, it's a very nice area in Paris.
04:25One of the safest.
04:27Okay, so we're here.
04:30That's, uh, Tizia.
04:33It's also near Le Bon Marché.
04:35But now we're gonna go to this cute store that I passed by on my last trip, but I haven't been inside.
04:40So, attention.
04:41So, yung outdoors ng apartment is the place where you can really walk.
04:46Eh, pangalop ko pa naman maglakwat siya, mag-commute, ganyan.
04:51Gusto ko talaga yung nagbibili-bili ng mga bulaklang.
04:54Parang yung nakikita nyo sa Emily in Paris.
04:56We have reached the art store.
04:59There's actually another branch, but this is the nearest one.
05:03Magwala Harrison Ford na ako.
05:11Hi! Kamusta?
05:13Wow!
05:18Amazing!
05:19Thank you so much.
05:22This one is a beautiful reminder.
05:23It's also by a French artist.
05:25Life is beautiful.
05:27And indeed it is.
05:28The good and the bad.
05:29Because it just completes the story.
05:31And again, I always believe that whatever happens to you in your life will make you a better person.
05:36It'll keep you grounded.
05:37Pangalap ko dinadalim si Panda doon.
05:39First Aspen in Paris.
05:41Come here.
05:43I love you.
05:44Come here.
05:51I have a friend.
05:52My agent, her name is Alice.
05:54And she lives in this area.
05:57Diyan naka-tilay yung mga imang artista, ganyan.
06:01Nung nakita ko yung apartment toto, talagang nai-love ko.
06:03Kasi parang fresh, kumbaga new place.
06:07And then nakita ko yung spiral na staircase na, ha, ito na yun.
06:11Meron ko isang nakitang apartment, a very Emily in Paris.
06:14Pero ito na, short ako ng 20 million pesos.
06:19Mag showgirls na ako talaga.
06:21Sabi ko, let go ko na yun.
06:24Eh, pwede bang may apartment ka sa Paris na walang art?
06:27Syempre hindi po pwede.
06:28I don't know where I'm gonna put this painting,
06:30but it's always good to have a blank canvas everywhere you go.
06:37So talagang tinadpad ko siya ng art.
06:39Para lumaki yung lugar, nilagyan ko ng mga mirrors.
06:42The artworks that I treasure the most, kahit teddy bears ko nung bata ako.
06:46Kung si Panda hindi nakarating, at least sila nakarating.
06:48This one is from my daughter, Chessie.
06:52It's her sketch from 2022.
06:55So I had it framed.
06:56These are all from Paris.
06:58Some are like, um, European artists.
07:02And this one is my collaboration with Brian Boy of Inkibos,
07:06and I wanted it to be part of here.
07:08There's this really talented artist named Heart Evangelista
07:11who we're doing a release with.
07:13So when moving into a new home,
07:15kailangan meron naman din kayong katulong na tutulong sa'yo magbukat.
07:19Bilang, Diyos ko, hagdanan lang ito, diba?
07:22So hulaan nyo kung sino ang tumulang sa'kin.
07:25Ang ating wife, Judith, is been dead.
07:27I'm so sorry.
07:29Siguro may isang oras na wala kayo.
07:30Doon pa lang ako nagising, di pa ako muli.
07:32Kasi kanina, kahagabi, parang baksak na ako doon sa sofa.
07:36In the beginning, it was just me,
07:37but when my husband's cheese, when he came here,
07:39doon rinulungan niya na ako.
07:40So nakakatawa, binantayan nilang ayusin to lahat.
07:43So ayan na nga, hindi pa rin yung kailangan ng visa
07:46para makapunta ng Paris
07:47because we have more moments in my happy place
07:50when heart world returns.
07:52Don't get me wrong, ina-acknowledge ko talaga
07:54yung idea na pinanganak akong privilege.
08:01Pero syempre, dinidisipina din kami.
08:03Spoiled kami in a sense na lahat binibigay sa amin.
08:06Pero talagang sobrang thankful ako
08:08dahil yung tatay ko magaling din sya magdisipina.
08:12Kailangan maging thankful ka kung anong meron ka.
08:14Kailangan hardworking ka.
08:16Yung daladala ko na kung may gusto ka,
08:18kailangan pagtrabawahan mo yun.
08:20Kailangan yung talagang alam mong deserve mo
08:23bago mo sya makuha.
08:25In fact, dumating na ako sa point na mayroon akong
08:27imposter syndrome.
08:29Yung feeling mo hindi ka deserving na makuha mo to.
08:32But as time goes by, I give a tap at the back
08:36na sinasabi ko sa'yo, you deserve it
08:38because hindi mo lang to pinikirapan.
08:40Halos makipaglaban ka para dito.
08:44Pag pumunta ako ng Fashion Week,
08:46lalang ko itong dinadala.
08:48The difference of Heart and Love Marie.
08:50Kasi para sa'kin, malinaw na malinaw na difference yan.
08:53Si Heart, yan ang pinanganak na artista.
08:57Dito nyo ako kilala.
08:59Pero nung pumunta ako ng Fashion Week,
09:00nagpagawa talaga.
09:01Actually, regalo to sa'kin ni Judith Lieber,
09:03yung brand na to.
09:05And I really on purposely said,
09:07Hello, my name is Love Marie.
09:09Kasi it was me trying to reintroduce myself
09:12not as artista, pero as who I am.
09:15Kung baga pangalan ko sa birth certificate ko.
09:18Kasi iba yun e.
09:19Alam nyo na ang bagong kasabihan natin.
09:22Hindi lang when it comes to material things,
09:26but in life,
09:27pag pinaghirapan mo,
09:28kapag may mga pangarap ka,
09:30if you put in the effort and the sacrifices,
09:33nothing is impossible and you deserve it.
09:37So, kung meron kayong mga moments,
09:39kung meron kayong gustong i-share,
09:40kung wala kayong kinakausap,
09:42kung nalalonely kayo,
09:43kung briningan kayo ng boyfriend nyo,
09:44halika na nandito po kami.
09:46Available kami.
