02:40Hot Bodies, Francine Prieto and Alfred Vargas.
02:43Tonight, the Suite Life goes bold, intimate and daring.
02:47As for the first time, we will bring all the hot bodies all in one show.
02:52Why did we bring them all together?
02:55Because we want to be more sexy as we want to be more intimate while we are talking about this.
03:02Is there a secret to being sexy and confident?
03:06Well, we will find out.
03:07Here are the sayings of our experts.
03:10Watch this.
03:11So, what makes a person really sexy?
03:13A person who is confident, who knows how to carry himself well, can carry a conversation.
03:21Of course, he's smart, right?
03:23And he knows how to dress.
03:24Sexy for me is total packaging.
03:27His sexiness and he has this.
03:30Someone who takes care of their body, who has the muscles.
03:35And of course, for the ladies, who has curves.
03:38The person's acceptability is based on that.
03:41You must have a face and body.
03:43Your measurements don't have to be perfect.
03:46Your vital stats don't have to be perfect.
03:48Just the way you present yourself, the way you stand, with a good posture, the way you smile to other people.
03:54What does confidence do to a person?
03:57There are people who know what's not good for them.
04:00So, they know how to hide it.
04:03They know what they can display.
04:06So, confidence comes in right away.
04:08It's five seconds.
04:09You're confident in five seconds.
04:11And how do you prepare for the very intimate moment?
04:14You have to find the right kind of intimate apparel that suits you.
04:21Something that would hide your flaws and emphasize your assets.
04:28The minute you come in, when you come in, let's say, in an intimate setting, you already know you're confident.
04:37You know you have good skin, you have a right body, you have this aura.
04:41Join us for an evening of talk on being sexy, improving your confidence, and getting intimate, right here on The Suite Life.
04:49Later on, we will be discussing intimate fashion and fashion in the bedroom.
04:53So, we will be needing expert's advice.
04:55And joining us for that discussion is Nanette Carranceja of the Velvet Rose and one of the country's top fashion mavericks.
05:02And now, bedding designer, Raho Laurel.
05:05But for the meantime, here's my co-host Wilma and the hot bodies.
05:09Thank you, Aditya.
05:11A lot of people consider you as sexy.
05:14Ooh, hot, sexy.
05:17What do you think makes you sexy?
05:20My brain because it takes me places and it helps me create myself.
05:26How about physical?
05:28It's up to you to decide.
05:31I don't know.
05:33How about you, Valerie?
05:35Me? I feel like it's a combination of everything.
05:38Brain, body, and your looks.
05:41I don't know. It's just my feeling.
05:43Of course, you have to be confident.
05:45If you're not confident, how will you feel sexy?
05:48I'm more interested in this.
05:50How about you, Rafael?
05:52I think what makes a person sexy is what's inside.
05:57I mean, the physical helps but the most important is how you carry yourself.
06:02Very well said, candidate number one.
06:05It's like a beauty pageant.
06:08How about you, Francine? What makes you sexy?
06:11Of course, the physical. You can see my assets.
06:15And also, the humor. You can see that I'm a comedian.
06:20That's why I think I'm sexy.
06:23Here's Alphand. He doesn't need to say anything.
06:26He just needs to say, Sabao.
06:28Sabao.
06:30Soup.
06:32I'm a heart.
06:34No, I have a smile.
06:36Really?
06:38It's my fault.
06:40Sweetheart, come here.
06:42Can you pronounce your last name?
06:44Ingebrigtsen.
06:46See? You can't blame me if I can't pronounce it.
06:51So, what do you think makes you sexy?
06:54It depends on the person judging you if you're sexy or not.
06:59But I guess because you're foreign or foreign-looking,
07:06it's different from what's common.
07:09That's why Filipinos in Norway, people love Filipinos in Norway
07:13because they're so different from the average of the percentage of people.
07:17Very well said, candidate number two.
07:22Lucy, I'm sure you have a lot of questions for our experts.
07:26Yes, I'd like to ask our experts,
07:28what should you have?
07:30Confidence to become sexy?
07:32Or should you be sexy and automatically become confident?
07:36Let's start with Rahul.
07:38It goes without saying, Lucy.
07:40The operative word here is you feel it.
07:43You shouldn't just think that you're sexy.
07:46When you have the body.
07:48Even if you're big like me, or if you're thin like you and Wilma,
07:52you can actually be sexy if you think that you're sexy.
07:56It's a combination of both confidence and physical.
07:59What about you?
08:01I think I believe that if you have the confidence inside,
08:05it comes out naturally.
08:07That's why we say, even if you're very big.
08:12You notice it everywhere in all aspects of life in Hollywood.
08:16A lot of these actors and actresses, even if you're big,
08:19you can still be sexy.
08:21Jennifer Hudson, case in point, Queen Latifah.
08:24It doesn't necessarily mean that just because you're a big person,
08:27doesn't mean you can't be sexy.
08:30Let's continue the discussion when we come back.
08:44Hi, I'm Grace Lee, your ultimate girl of the sweet life.
08:47Guess where I'm at?
08:48I'm in front of Luke Jacaine's house.
08:50Our top model.
08:51What am I doing here?
08:52I'm going to raid his closet.
08:54Come with me inside.
09:06Hi.
09:07Hello.
09:09Wow, you're dressed up.
09:11Where are you going?
09:12I'm hosting this event later at school.
09:16I'm meeting BP and Borky.
09:18Oh my God, that's so cute.
09:20Okay, I'm here because I want to raid your closet.
09:22Okay, cool.
09:23So where are the stuff I want to see?
09:26What is your favorite boxer?
09:27My favorite boxer is this one.
09:30It's my all-time favorite boxer.
09:32It's with me since I'm in high school.
09:35Even in high school?
09:36Do you have a boxer that your girlfriend gave you?
09:41Or anybody you like?
09:43Yeah, this is super memorable to me.
09:46Oh my God.
09:47It was given to me by Risa Samson, my friend.
09:51It was a Christmas present.
09:54It's so cute.
09:55You have to get this for your boyfriend.
09:57I think I'll buy this for my boyfriend.
10:01Yeah, I have this.
10:02Another favorite.
10:04Wow.
10:05It's floral.
10:07But they wash it with a cloth.
10:13It fades.
10:14And this is my super no-no underwear if I'm going to go to a date.
10:20My playboy underwear.
10:22It's super duper bacon.
10:25He's already bacon.
10:26It looks like you've seen him a lot of times.
10:29Yeah, for example, night out with the boys.
10:35Aside from his underwear,
10:36I noticed something that I wouldn't really expect to see in a guy's closet.
10:43This would be so sexy.
10:46Okay.
10:47Oh my God, that's so cute.
10:49We're supposed to wear this apron and auction it at the end of the event.
10:55Okay.
10:56And I was too drunk, so I went home wearing this apron.
10:59This is the sexiest thing I've seen in a guy's closet.
11:03Thank you so much for having me here, Luke.
11:05You're welcome.
11:06It's been a pleasure.
11:07Why don't you say hi to Lucy?
11:08Hi, Lucy.
11:10Thank you so much again.
11:11It's been such a pleasure.
11:12Your closet now has been opened to the public.
11:16Closet Reign Mission Accomplished.
11:18Back to you, Lucy.
11:23Okay, we're back before the break.
11:25Both Raho and Nanette agreed that it's all a matter of attitude.
11:29But let's ask them again.
11:31How do you become sexy and confident?
11:34Well, it's just how you present yourself in an audience maybe.
11:39As long as you're confident in talking with them, it goes along.
11:47For me, it's enhance it.
11:48Basically, if you already have the main ingredients, all you have to do is enhance it.
11:53For instance, you should wear better clothes.
11:55You should fix your makeup.
11:57You should cut your hair nicely.
11:59I mean, these are like your armor.
12:00I'd like to ask our guests also.
12:02Because usually, when there are people who say,
12:07why would I buy nice underwear?
12:09People won't see it.
12:11But that's not the point, right?
12:12How important is underwear for you?
12:15Underwear is very important because it gives you comfort at your most sensitive part.
12:21So, if you're not comfortable with your underwear,
12:24then you're not comfortable with the world.
12:27As girls, we like to follow trends.
12:30Do you do the same with your underwear?
12:33Like, this is the trend now.
12:35This is the trend.
12:36Or you just stick to the basics?
12:38Well, for me, it's because of my bench body.
12:42No, it's because their underwear is nice.
12:45So, you know, it's also nice that you're wearing nice clothes.
12:48They don't care about your garter.
12:50Right?
12:51Because they say that cleavage is not only on the front,
12:54there's also cleavage on the back, right?
12:56So, even if it comes out, if your underwear looks nice,
12:58then it's still nice and sexy.
13:00Who chooses your underwear?
13:03For me, Lucy, it's like...
13:04Do you shop with a girlfriend?
13:06No, I do it on my own.
13:07For me, it's like, even if you just read what I'm wearing,
13:10as long as my underwear is nice, I'm confident.
13:13How about you? What do you wear?
13:15Underwear, of course.
13:16Can I see?
13:17Oh, God.
13:22What? What? What?
13:24And it's red.
13:27It's red.
13:28As red as your top.
13:32How about you?
13:34Of course, I wear underwear.
13:36Really?
13:37I'm the only one who wears boxers.
13:39Because we know that girls really wear thongs.
13:42Because our clothes are tight,
13:44and we really don't like visible panty lines.
13:47What about boys? Do you wear thongs?
13:49Alfred, do you wear thongs?
13:51I've tried.
13:52I've tried.
13:53Actually, I have two, I think.
13:55Two pieces.
13:56Oh, so you don't really wear thongs.
13:58I've tried, but I'm still not comfortable with it.
14:01It's just a matter of getting used to it.
14:04How about you? Do you wear thongs?
14:06No, I only tried it once.
14:08I did it on a fashion show.
14:12You don't like it?
14:13No, it's not for me.
14:15How about you?
14:16No, I don't wear thongs.
14:19Maybe when I'm on a show.
14:21I'm sure the girls, you all wear thongs.
14:23I'm not comfortable.
14:25Really?
14:27Let's ask Nanette.
14:28You own the Velvet Rose, right?
14:30Yes.
14:31What's the most saleable style?
14:33What's the most popular?
14:35Actually, what's popular now is the five-way,
14:39the so-called five-way bra or the convertible bra.
14:42For halter, low back,
14:46for off the shoulders.
14:47You can use the five-way bras.
14:50Raho, when you design clothes,
14:53are you particular about the kind of underwear they wear?
14:56That's very important.
14:58But you have to be careful.
14:59Yes, because that's your foundation piece.
15:01Your underwear, basically,
15:03for example, all of us here,
15:05nowadays, everybody wants to look sexy,
15:07so we'll use girdles, panty girdles,
15:10push-up, lift-up, all of those.
15:13No matter how beautiful the design of the clothes is,
15:16if the hole in your body is not right,
15:20it will fall down.
15:21Nanette, in your store, what sizes do you carry?
15:24Because I know that some of my plus-size friends
15:28find it hard to find underwear
15:31because their complaint is that
15:33it's all small or sexy.
15:37Actually, there are a lot of misconceptions
15:39that our store carries small sizes,
15:42but we do have special orders
15:45for plus-size women.
15:47To close this, let's ask for advice
15:50from Raho and Nanette
15:51for people who are not confident with their bodies.
15:53What do we do?
15:54Also, the guests, you can give your insights.
15:57My advice is,
15:59be confident first about your body
16:02and then choose something that would enhance it,
16:06like push-up bras, girdles.
16:12That will enhance their bodies,
16:14which would make them feel more confident
16:16about their body and who they are.
16:19What about you, Raho?
16:20For me, it's acceptance.
16:22I mean, basically, live with what you have.
16:26And then it's also important to have a very good friend
16:28beside you when you're shopping.
16:30For example, if you ask,
16:31do I really look sexy in these clothes?
16:33And he'll say no.
16:35You won't argue with him.
16:36No, just accept it.
16:37Maybe if you love someone,
16:39you'll tell the truth.
16:40The first step is to be natural.
16:44How can you be comfortable with yourself and be confident?
16:48Just be natural.
16:49Know yourself more.
16:50Where are you comfortable?
16:51What do you want?
16:52And I think it will start from there.
16:54The road to confidence.
16:56Okay.
16:57Juliana?
16:58I think being sexy is all about how you feel about yourself.
17:01And it starts from inside.
17:03So if you're not confident,
17:04but you're beautiful and you have everything,
17:06I suggest you find something to do that you're good at.
17:10Valerie?
17:11My advice is,
17:12just think that you're sexy
17:14because the more you think about it,
17:16it will show in your aura.
17:18You'll see it in the way you care for yourself,
17:20the way you talk to people.
17:22It will show.
17:23Francine, when you do those,
17:24you have very nice bench billboards now.
17:27Where was that?
17:28Where?
17:29Where was that?
17:30Dumaguete.
17:31Dumaguete?
17:32At a resort?
17:33Yes.
17:34At Antulang Resort.
17:36So what was the instruction of the photographer
17:39when you were doing the shoot?
17:41How to project confidence?
17:43What was it?
17:44There was an instruction.
17:45That's sexy.
17:46But for me,
17:47I've been doing it for a long time.
17:50And of course,
17:51because I'm wearing nice clothes,
17:53it adds to it.
17:56Wilma, ask the boys.
17:58How about you, Einar?
18:00Do you want to say something?
18:02How can you teach someone to become confident?
18:06I think it starts from your heart.
18:11Accepting what God has given you.
18:14Being happy with what you have.
18:16Yes, and then reflect that.
18:18But also,
18:19it's also part of your personality.
18:24When you clothe yourself in fashion,
18:27you buy stuff that you think you like
18:30that shows your personality
18:32and brings it out more.
18:34You have to be thankful for what you do have.
18:38Don't compare yourself to others so much.
18:40Be happy that you have what you have
18:43and then work with that.
18:45Thank you guys for being here.
18:47Before we go on a break,
18:49Nanette and the Velvet Rose
18:51are giving away two P1,000 gift certificates.
18:54Just text SWEETLIFESPACE your message
18:56and send to 4627 for all networks.
19:00Raul will still stay with us
19:02for a very intimate talk that's coming up.
19:04Don't go away.
19:20Now let's go to the most intimate part of our home,
19:23the bedroom.
19:24You know,
19:25I feel like this is a very intimate talk
19:28because there's a bed.
19:29But I'm not going to show this
19:31because Raul needs to dress up
19:34for couples who want to love each other.
19:37Raul is here to help us dress up our bedroom
19:40and make it more beautiful.
19:41Raul, please tell us more about your new venture.
19:44Actually, we started this new venture
19:46because I invited all of you to go to our home
19:50to see my new designer bed linen.
19:54Where is this available?
19:55Our home.
19:56Our home in SM.
19:57Our home in SM.
19:58I decided to make this design line
20:03because do you realize, Lucy,
20:0433% of our lives, we're in bed.
20:08I am a believer of that.
20:09It's important to me that what I'm laying down
20:12is delicious and beautiful.
20:13And the good thing with getting good quality sheets
20:16is it lasts you a long time.
20:18If you're going to buy a cheap one,
20:20you'll be lying down for two nights.
20:22Correct.
20:23What I did was research.
20:26I said, let's make a bed sheet that's 300% cotton.
20:30The thread count.
20:31The thread count is 300%.
20:32So it's durable, it's good for the body and face.
20:36What kind of cotton did you use?
20:37Egyptian.
20:38Egyptian?
20:39It's high quality.
20:40And I partnered with one of the best manufacturers
20:44here in the country, Ang Kanadian.
20:45After the show, we'll give out bed sheets
20:48to our lucky home viewers.
20:50Wow, lucky.
20:51I wish I could text also.
20:52Lucky home viewers.
20:53Raul, can I get a hug?
20:54Of course.
20:55For now, let's call in our guests.
20:58Yes, because I don't want to be alone in this bed.
21:00As I said, I don't have a husbandry.
21:04So let's call in the happily married and happy moms,
21:08Jaya and Susie.
21:10Where are they?
21:15Hi, Jaya.
21:16Hi, Susie.
21:17Hello, Susie.
21:18Hello, Susie.
21:19We love you, Susie.
21:20Wilma.
21:21Come, come, come.
21:22Wil, turn the bed.
21:23Don't be afraid.
21:24We don't bite.
21:25Where are we?
21:27Let's sit here.
21:28Okay.
21:29Raul, beautiful.
21:31I'm ecstatic.
21:33I think you'll help us design this bed
21:37based on your specific standards.
21:39So we brought in samples of our linen line.
21:43I think what we're going to be doing is
21:45how to make your bedroom more intimate.
21:47Raul, do we still need to practice fashion in the bedroom?
21:51I think so.
21:52It has to be pleasing to the eyes, right?
21:54It doesn't look good if the sheet is red and the background is blue or green.
21:59It doesn't have to be perfect.
22:01It has to be coordinated.
22:03The thing that we have to remember now is
22:06the quality of life is determined by what surrounds you.
22:09We all want to have a good life.
22:12For me, how can we have a good night's sleep
22:15if the bedsheet isn't nice?
22:18So we need to make it nice,
22:20and your life will be sensual.
22:24Sensual.
22:26Mommies want to be sensual.
22:28Come here.
22:29What was your inspiration for the linen?
22:32Let's talk about that.
22:33You can start arranging the bed.
22:35I'll help you.
22:36You know what, Raul?
22:37I have something like that.
22:39Really?
22:40This one.
22:41Do you guys use colorful sheets?
22:44Yes.
22:45Or do you just use white?
22:46Jewel tones.
22:47This is perfect for you.
22:49What do you mean by jewel tones, Raul?
22:51Like this.
22:52And we'll cover the bed.
22:54Ms. Wilma, help us.
22:56I like this.
22:57Beautiful.
22:58Like this.
22:59Like this.
23:00But Raul,
23:01this can also be upside down, I suppose.
23:04If you want to use the other side.
23:06It's upside down.
23:07That one has 300 counts.
23:09Yes.
23:10300 counts.
23:11300 counts.
23:12Wilma, try it.
23:13Come here.
23:14Try it.
23:15Try it.
23:16Come here.
23:17Isn't it delicious?
23:18Hi!
23:19Maybe something will happen to you, Raul.
23:21What's wrong with you?
23:26Ms. Wilma is so nice.
23:28Don't mind Wilma.
23:29But you know what?
23:30Why not?
23:31A lot of people experienced that.
23:32That's true.
23:33I'm jealous of Raul.
23:37Let's talk about sleeping positions.
23:40What's your most comfortable sleeping position?
23:42On the side.
23:43On the side.
23:44Why?
23:45Because you want to be spooned.
23:46That's fine.
23:47But it's hot if it's long.
23:48Of course.
23:49We're like mommies.
23:51When your child is like this.
23:53Lemon straight.
23:54Excuse me.
23:55Excuse me.
23:56You thought there's a person.
23:57Excuse me.
23:58You're the child, right?
23:59Mommy!
24:00That's exactly it.
24:01You're there, I'm the husband.
24:02I'm here.
24:03Do you stay on a specific side all the time?
24:06Yes.
24:07If you're on the left side, you're on the left.
24:08I do here.
24:09Because everything is here for the child.
24:12We have a partition here for the child.
24:15What do you call it?
24:16Sabria sleeps with you.
24:17In the middle.
24:18So, she's here.
24:19I got it.
24:20I'm the husband.
24:21Sabria is so big now.
24:23Hey, toilet paper.
24:28So, she sleeps here.
24:29Then, the husband is there.
24:32When I'm a bit sleepy,
24:33husband, you do it.
24:36Sleep here.
24:37But Jaya, with the baby in the middle.
24:41Same with us.
24:42What happens when you're in the mood?
24:44Oh, we just move the baby here.
24:50Excuse me.
24:53That's the baby.
24:54We're next to each other.
24:56I'm in the middle.
24:59Daddy is here.
25:01My husband is closing the door.
25:04If there's a will, there's a way.
25:06There's always a way.
25:07Is that how you do it?
25:08Yes, that's why we're three.
25:11If there's a will, there's a way.
25:13What if in the middle,
25:15the baby wakes up?
25:20She won't think about it.
25:22What she's saying is,
25:23da-da-da-da-da.
25:25Daddy,
25:26it's like this is going to end
25:28because we're losing our mood.
25:30So, what we're going to do is,
25:31the baby is moving to her bed.
25:35When you're in the bedroom,
25:36do you use your nighties or your underwear?
25:40As a language.
25:43Honey, I'm in the mood,
25:44but you don't want to tell him.
25:46But you don't need anything
25:47when you're in the mood.
25:51Actually, it sounds kind of corny
25:53because our babies are small.
25:55Everything that we have in our room
25:56is very practical.
25:58I breastfeed,
25:59so I have to wear something
26:00that's easy to lift
26:03if I have to nurse the baby.
26:05It's a very different sort of environment.
26:07But there are times
26:08that if you want to feel sexy,
26:09wear a nicer sort of sheer tank top.
26:12Something like that.
26:13I think the most important thing
26:15is to smell good all the time.
26:17Yes, of course.
26:18Because if your husband is attracted to you
26:21because you smell good,
26:22you're clean.
26:23Even if he doesn't have a plan,
26:24when he's lying down,
26:25he smells good.
26:26Can comfort and fashion go together
26:28in the bedroom?
26:29It should go together.
26:30It's not a decision or choice.
26:33You really need to be comfortable
26:35when you're sleeping.
26:36It's no reason for anyone
26:38to just let go and be pure.
26:40Don't.
26:41I'm sure the people who are married
26:43are going to agree with me.
26:45You should never let go.
26:47Never let go.
26:48You should always take care of yourself.
26:50Aside from Raho being here on the show,
26:52we are also raffling off
26:54some of his beddings.
26:55Just text.
26:56All you have to do is text
26:57sweetlifespace your message
26:59and send to 4627 for all networks.
27:01Do it now.
27:03More bedroom talk
27:04and Jaya and Susie's
27:05bedside manners
27:06when The Suite Life returns.
27:24I'm Tessa Vergara-Yuvienco.
27:26I do consulting
27:27for call center agents,
27:30and particularly,
27:32we run English programs
27:34for teachers.
27:35I'm Joel Yuvienco.
27:37I'm married for 10 years.
27:39We've been married
27:40for 16 years.
27:43No, because I switched.
27:45Because my mode is working.
27:47Take 2.
27:49Okay, right.
27:50I'm Joel Yuvienco.
27:52I'm married for 16 years.
27:54Right, okay.
27:56And I've been working
27:57for 10 years
27:58as a college professor.
28:00Joel is wonderful
28:01and exciting,
28:04and he's such a great guy.
28:06My wife,
28:07who goes by the name Tessa,
28:09has been my best friend
28:11for, I'd like to think,
28:14for more than 20 years.
28:17That was in 84.
28:19We were classmates
28:21in a Spanish class.
28:22We did not meet
28:23in that class.
28:24He just told me
28:25a year after that,
28:27I was his crush.
28:28But of course,
28:29I didn't look at him
28:30because I had
28:31a boyfriend back then.
28:33To cut a long story short,
28:36it just ended with me
28:38being an admirer,
28:40if you will.
28:41Well, it started as a date
28:43in a ball.
28:45It's a fraternity ball,
28:46and he asked me if he,
28:50I could be his date.
28:52So yeah, sure, why not?
28:55And then afterwards,
28:57he started courting me.
28:58We were together
28:59as boyfriend-girlfriend
29:00for five years
29:01because he had to finish
29:03his degree.
29:04Afterwards,
29:05right after the bar exam
29:06that was in September 1990,
29:09I said, okay,
29:10so what do you think?
29:12We got married in December,
29:13three months preparation.
29:18You want me to describe
29:19our 16 years of marriage?
29:22We fight over
29:23little things like that.
29:24It's not exactly
29:25a bed of roses,
29:26but it's a garden.
29:28It's a walk in the garden.
29:30There are ups and downs.
29:32We didn't have time together
29:36because we would always think
29:39of the kids all the time.
29:42We do so many things together
29:44even if we're apart.
29:45You know, with texting
29:46and all that,
29:47we make sure.
29:48Of course,
29:49it's just a phone call away.
29:50Come to think of it,
29:51when was the last time
29:52we were together,
29:53two of us.
29:54This is a bonus.
29:56And we make sure
29:58that we make the best
30:01of the time we have here.
30:02It's time to get
30:03to know him again.
30:04Do a lot of all sorts
30:06of interesting things.
30:10I guess you know
30:11what that means.
30:24The dream project
30:26of almost every married couple
30:28is to have a baby.
30:30However,
30:31that doesn't always happen
30:32right away for everyone.
30:34So, to help us,
30:35like me,
30:36Richard and I,
30:37I would have liked
30:39to have a baby
30:40the following day
30:41after our honeymoon.
30:42If I had my way now,
30:43I would have had six kids.
30:45However,
30:46that doesn't happen that way.
30:47And I think
30:48that's why
30:49we're so lucky
30:51that it doesn't happen that way.
30:53And I had to wait
30:54for almost two years
30:56before I got pregnant
30:57with Juliana.
30:58And that seems to be
30:59a problem now, right?
31:01With most couples.
31:02It was easier
31:03during the times of our moms.
31:05They could just see
31:06their husbands getting pregnant.
31:07Now, we hear stories
31:09of people,
31:10of couples
31:11who want to get pregnant,
31:12but for some reason,
31:13they just can't.
31:14So, we have on the show now
31:16two experts
31:17to help us,
31:18to show us the options.
31:20What can we do
31:21to get pregnant?
31:22We have with us
31:23Dr. Carmen Sita Gotauko,
31:25Senior Consultant
31:26of the Department of Obstetrics
31:28and Gynecology,
31:29Chiny General Hospital.
31:31And Dr. Rebecca Singson,
31:36Obstetrician and Gynecologist
31:38at the Makati Medical Center
31:39in Asian Hospital
31:41and Medical Center.
31:42Thank you for being with us.
31:47I'd like to ask Susie and Jaya,
31:49did you have your baby?
31:51Like, in Jaya's case,
31:52did you have your baby right away?
31:54Yeah.
31:55Considering I started,
31:56I was 36 years old
31:58and I was taking the pills.
31:59So, by August of 2005,
32:02I stopped.
32:04November, we tried doing the,
32:06you know what?
32:07Doing the deeds.
32:08The deeds.
32:09The wonderful deeds.
32:10And then by December,
32:11I was one month pregnant.
32:12By December, you were one,
32:14so that was almost immediate.
32:15Let's ask the doctors,
32:18is there a cause for delay?
32:22How come some couples
32:23get pregnant easier than most others?
32:26You know, it is a fact
32:27that all over the world,
32:30the men have reduced
32:31their sperm counts by 40%.
32:35So, it's the fault of the men.
32:37Well, this is largely because
32:39of environmental pollution.
32:42Really?
32:43So, that's why it was easier
32:44during the times of ours?
32:45Yes, yes.
32:46And it's the same with the women.
32:47We're seeing a lot of cases
32:49of polycystic ovary syndrome.
32:52We see a lot of hormonal imbalance
32:55because we find,
32:57in the food that we eat,
32:58we ingest a lot of zero hormones.
33:02Meaning, the chemicals
33:05that are used to make food,
33:08right?
33:09That's why I always tell my patients,
33:12especially when they're pregnant,
33:14no more junk food.
33:16But that hormonal imbalance,
33:18can that be corrected?
33:20Dr. Gotawko?
33:22Hormonal imbalance in the women
33:24can be corrected.
33:26Well, even in the men.
33:28How? With diet only?
33:30Well, we have medicines,
33:34tablets.
33:36So, it depends.
33:37It's on a case-to-case basis.
33:39Yes, you have to uncover the cause.
33:42Actually, the most common cause
33:44of the hormonal imbalance is
33:46lack of sleep, stress.
33:48I'm going to sleep now.
33:50So, say we were talking backstage
33:52and you said that you really,
33:54really want to have a boy.
33:56Yes.
33:57It depends on the period
33:59when you have your sexual contact.
34:02Because a woman
34:05is only fertile three days in a month.
34:08Beyond that,
34:09then you don't get pregnant.
34:11Because the egg can live only for 24 hours,
34:14the sperm for 48 hours.
34:16So, for example,
34:17you have sexual contact today,
34:20then you ovulate tomorrow,
34:22then you can have a baby.
34:24And also, the male supplies the sperm.
34:28There are sperms that have,
34:30that carry the X chromosome
34:32and the Y chromosome.
34:34The female carry only the X chromosome.
34:37So, if the X chromosome of the sperm
34:40and the X chromosome of the female egg meat,
34:43then you have a female.
34:45But if it's a boy,
34:47then the male sperm,
34:49I mean, the sperm that carries the Y chromosome
34:52impregnates an egg.
34:55Then you have a male.
34:56So, the best way, maybe,
34:58is to keep doing it every day.
35:00Are the chances low?
35:01I was going to ask,
35:03is there such a thing as overdoing it
35:06and the sperm getting tired or getting...
35:09But before you answer that,
35:10we will pause for a break.
35:12Morgan's Sweet Life returns.
35:32I like the iLust.
35:33What's with the iLust?
35:34iLust is our presidential suite.
35:36It has a bathtub over the kintaal.
35:39Tell us something about the iLove.
35:41iLove is our room at the ground level
35:44with a patio.
35:46Lavender, ocean green,
35:48strawberry.
35:51And then for the shampoo and conditioner,
35:53milk and honey,
35:54green apple, lavender and lilac.
35:56Lavender and lilac.
35:57Okay.
35:58This is for me.
35:59This is for you.
36:00Fine.
36:01How was it?
36:02Accommodation was...
36:04Accommodation was...
36:07Was hard.
36:09What?
36:13It was cool all the way though.
36:15We rediscovered each other.
36:17Especially when we realised
36:19that we enjoyed the same type of music.
36:21Yes.
36:22We realised that we like techno music.
36:25Techno music.
36:27So...
36:28What are we up against?
36:30It's like a secondary...
36:32Secondary...
36:33I mean...
36:34I think...
36:35We should do this at least once a year.
36:39Well...
36:40To me...
36:41I believe so.
36:42Yeah.
36:43Just the two of us.
36:46And we won't be talking about the kids.
36:49Not about work.
36:51Just us.
36:53Just us.
36:54Yeah.
36:55We always talk about ideas and principles.
36:58But that was the only time
37:00when we were so...
37:02low.
37:04Yeah.
37:05So...
37:06That's when we discovered that...
37:08There's a...
37:10There's a big side to being low.
37:15Key word here is rediscovery.
37:17A whole lifetime won't mean we sufficiently
37:20find something new
37:23in your apartment.
37:25A couple should not lose that sense of...
37:28creative imagination.
37:30Mutual imagination.
37:32Mutual imagination.
37:33Life is short so you have to keep on looking for something fresh.
37:37This place is really superb.
37:39That place will really make you...
37:41Make the couples stay in bed.
37:45Yes.
37:51The hanging question before the break.
37:53Is there such a thing as overdoing it?
37:55Let's ask the experts again.
37:56If you have frequent intercourse...
37:59You know it takes 72 days for the sperm to regenerate.
38:03So...
38:0472 days.
38:0572 days for the sperm to...
38:07Days.
38:08So if you do it every day...
38:10You'll end up wasting it.
38:12So if you're trying to have a baby and you're not successful...
38:15Don't do it too often.
38:17I was under the impression that it's a bottomless pit.
38:20No.
38:21It's just a hole.
38:22No.
38:23What's that? Ice tea?
38:25In the...
38:27Women who married...
38:28Married couple in the first year...
38:30About 35 to 40 percent get pregnant only.
38:33And the succeeding year...
38:35Maybe another 25 to 30.
38:38Then...
38:39In the third year...
38:41Maybe another 30 percent.
38:43What is the most...
38:44Of course there are body clocks for women.
38:47What is the safest way to deliver a healthy baby?
38:51What's the age?
38:52What's the age?
38:53What's the optimum age?
38:54In your twenties?
38:55Actually, if you're over 35 years old...
38:57You're considered high risk pregnant.
38:59Wow.
39:00If you reach 40...
39:02Your chances of having a mongoloid child...
39:06Is...
39:07Out of 80 women who get pregnant...
39:08One of them is a mongoloid.
39:10Why?
39:11Because...
39:12It's high risk.
39:13No.
39:14In contrast to a man whose sperm is regenerated every 72 days...
39:18The eggs of the woman...
39:20Age as well.
39:21Are the same eggs you were born with.
39:22So if you're 40 years old...
39:23Your eggs have been exposed to the environment for 40 years.
39:27Oh gosh, I'm scared.
39:28Then you will never know...
39:31You will never know that...
39:32We're on double time.
39:33Yes.
39:34Wait a minute.
39:35Next year, it's me.
39:36But how do we...
39:38Conceive?
39:39And then when it's conceived...
39:40How do we know that the baby has Down syndrome?
39:42Or mongoloid?
39:44Are you trying for a second baby?
39:46We would like to have two more.
39:48Two more?
39:49Two more.
39:50Okay.
39:51We have tests for fetal well-being.
39:53Okay.
39:55Well, in our country...
39:57We only have ultrasound guidance.
40:00At 20 weeks...
40:01That's the best time to do a congenital anomaly screen.
40:04In other words, you go through every organ of the baby.
40:06Is the brain okay?
40:07Is the stomach okay?
40:08Are the kidneys okay?
40:09Are there any lungs?
40:11So you can see that.
40:12Then we have Down syndrome markers.
40:15You can see...
40:17If there's a thick and nuchal fold.
40:19If the middle phalanx of the last digit is absent.
40:23Healthy babies.
40:25Health is truly wealth.
40:27But you know, a healthy baby begins with a healthy mother.
40:30And I think all women forget that.
40:32I'm so healthy.
40:34We're different.
40:35Jaya and Susie.
40:37How do you take care of your husband?
40:40It's easy.
40:42She's excited.
40:43I'm excited.
40:44What I do is...
40:45I make him cute with my undies.
40:47Even if it's just my looks.
40:49But I feel like I'm sexy.
40:51Until later,
40:52maybe he'll think,
40:54Wow, nice underwear.
40:56He'll notice.
40:57No, it should be a nice body.
40:59That's what she said.
41:02You know, she's your wife.
41:04I'm not.
41:05We're sexy to our wives.
41:07Usually, I make it a point.
41:09I make sure that I really want to look beautiful and sexy for my husband.
41:13So you're still buying sexy underwear.
41:15Of course.
41:16White bikini.
41:17With this color,
41:18they'll look good in a white bikini.
41:20Yes.
41:21We think of those things.
41:22Because, of course,
41:23it's one thing.
41:24We wear many hats, right?
41:26Of course.
41:27We can't forget our husband.
41:29Yeah, being a wife.
41:30Although you're busy at home.
41:32It's hard to find the right timing.
41:34The kids should sleep.
41:35So you can concentrate on each other.
41:37But we do, and we should.
41:38Wait a minute.
41:39I have a question.
41:41Susie, how do you take care of your husband?
41:44How do I take care of him?
41:45I don't know.
41:46I just have beautiful eyes.
41:47I think Lucie is a Catholic priest.
41:49So you don't have to wear a beautiful dress.
41:52Lucie is sexy, right?
41:54You don't have to wear a flamingo.
41:56Flamingo.
41:57I might get tired.
42:00If not, just tell him directly.
42:03You do that too?
42:05Of course.
42:06I'm human.
42:07Like I said,
42:08the boys don't deny it.
42:10Actually,
42:11I advise my patients.
42:13You should have a private language
42:15to communicate what you want.
42:18Yes, there is a private language.
42:19Because you have various times, right?
42:24You have a short time.
42:25You have a little bit longer time.
42:27And you have a gourmet, right?
42:31So you can say,
42:32let's just have fast food today, honey.
42:34Like that.
42:35And then,
42:36let's have a gourmet on Saturday.
42:38Let's go to the garden.
42:40We'll start, right?
42:42With candles.
42:43And then,
42:44it'll end up wherever.
42:45In the guest room, right?
42:47We need to be creative, right?
42:50So you should have your language
42:52for communicating that, right?
42:54And the men always say,
42:56why do you expect us to,
42:59like you said,
43:01make the first move.
43:02We cannot just be the men all the time.
43:04Yes.
43:05If you want to seduce him,
43:07do whatever it takes, right?
43:10For you to,
43:11you know that, right?
43:13You're the best person to know that.
43:15Both partners really have to keep the music playing.
43:19Wow.
43:20Because there's music playing,
43:21Goma and I are small,
43:22but we can see that you're fitting your swimwear.
43:25That's it.
43:26Is she a turn-on?
43:29Where did you get that information?
43:30Actually, where did you get that?
43:32Well, you know,
43:33according to the birds.
43:34A little bird.
43:35Actually, Richard,
43:36when he goes on trips,
43:38he likes to buy underwear for me.
43:40He buys my swimwear.
43:41So you ask him,
43:42does it fit you?
43:44Exactly.
43:45He knows your type.
43:46Maybe I'll get mad if it doesn't fit me
43:47because you bought something else.
43:50Why doesn't this fit me?
43:52Anyway, we will pause for a break,
43:54but before that,
43:55we'd like to thank our doctors for being here,
43:56Dr. Gotawko and Dr. Singson.
43:58Thank you for being here.
43:59We will be right back
44:00with more of Jaya and Susie.
44:02Don't go away.
44:27I still have hope
44:29because my logic is,
44:32yes, there's science
44:34and we have the doctors,
44:36but there's also God.
44:37And when He says,
44:38it's time for you to have another baby,
44:41it's time.
44:42That's how it is.
44:43It's destiny
44:44and we should all keep the faith.
44:48Okay, so.
44:49As always.
44:50Thank you very much
44:51to our studio audience
44:52for being here,
44:53for Susie, Jaya,
44:55and all our other guests.
44:57Thank you, Susie.
44:58Thank you, Jaya.
44:59Wilma, say goodbye.
45:01It's time.
45:04Okay, that has been Wilma Dossett
45:06and I'm Lucy Torres Gomez
45:08for The Sweet Life.
45:09See you again.
