To date, there are more than 10,000 applications that jam, cram, and choke the social networking wonder Facebook. From the infamous “Super poke” to the disturbing “What mental disorder do you have” applications, there is just about everything for you to creatively socialize and sometimes flirt with your friends the digital way. No wonder, more and more people are migrating from other social networking sites to Facebook to join in on the poking fun.
Just like us, this month’s 100% FHM Hottie, Maricar Dela Fuente of the Viva Hot Babes, is a Facebook addict. She updates her status regularly and readily accepts app invites from her friends. We recently added her on our friends list and since then, we’ve been exchanging app requests left and right. And with a couple of message exchanges and pokes, she readily said yes for her FHM comeback!
With a hottie like Maricar, we will never get tired of receiving “Hug me,” “Kiss me” or “Super poke” invites. Go ahead, Maricar, throws us that “Panty Raid” application, we’ll be glad to steal a pair!
Good thing we found you on Facebook! We’ve been looking for you to grace our 100% FHM Hottie section for a long time. It’s nice to be back with FHM, Buti na lang may Facebook. I love it. Mas exciting siya kaysa sa ibang social networking sites. Pwede ka kasing mag-send ng hugs, kiss at kung anu-ano pa.
We read in your profile that you’re now a chef! Yup, I took up Culinary Arts. I just graduated last Saturday. Masaya yung course. At least, may bago akong achievement sa buhay. One year akong nag-stop sa showbiz kaya medyo nanahimik yun career ko. Hindi talaga ako nanghinayang na tumanggi sa mga projects and shows na binibigay ng manager ko. I consider this as one of my biggest achievements. This will be my fall back when I retire from show business.
Did you get any awards during your graduation? Best in absences? Ha ha ha. Hot Chef Award siguro. Ha ha ha.
Obviously, you’re the hottest chef in school! Oo! Ha ha ha. Karamihan kasi sa mga classmate ko matataba. Nung pumasok nga ako sabi nila sa akin, ‘Ang skinny mo!’ Medyo tumaba na rin nga ako. Hindi mo talaga maiiwasang hindi kumain kasi sobrang sarap nung mga niluluto namin. Kaya ngayon, I’m on a diet.
Were the blokes in class more interested on you than on the recipes? During my first day in school, there were guys from the other batch who kept on saying “Hi, Maricar.” They knew that I’m one of the Viva Hot Babes. Later ko na lang nalaman na pinanood pala nila yung Erotica DVD ng Viva Hot Babes. Kaya pala ganun sila makatingin, parang hinuhubaran na talaga ako. Ha ha ha! Pero naging kaibigan ko naman sila. Saka hindi naman ako suplada kasi ayaw ko naman sabihin nila na dahil artista ako, nagmamalaki na ako.
What motivated the hot babe to take the course? I love cooking. My classmates and I are already planning to open up a resto soon in Alabang. And one of my lolas is a chef. She studied Culinary Arts in Singapore. She really inspired me to become a chef.
What do your consider as your craft when it comes to cooking? Masasabi ko talaga na magaling ako sa pastries, lalo na sa cakes.
So do you now believe the old saying that a way to a man’s heart is through his stomach? Oo naman. Kahit hindi pa ako nag-aaral noon ng Culinary Arts, mahilig na talaga akong magluto for my boyfriend. At nagugustuhan naman nila yun luto ko lalo na kapag matakaw yung guy. It can really help strengthen a relationship. Yun ibang guy friends ko nagrereklamo na kailangan pang sa labas kumain kasi yun asawa or girlfriend nila hindi marunong magluto. Thankful ako na marunong ako magluto. At least, kapag nagkaroon na ako ng family, hindi ko sila mapapabayaan.
Aside from the sumptuous meals, what else do you do to make your special someone feel special? I love giving foot spa. Kahit na sobrang dumi ng mga kuko niya. Kapag mahal mo naman hindi ka mandidiri. In return, I ask for a back massage, happy na ako dun. Pero hindi ako nagpapamasahe sa harap kasi iba na yun!
Since you’re now a food expert, give us some tips on aphrodisiacs. Oysters! Sabi nung mga chef! Though ako, kapag kinakain ko yun sa resto with a guy, umuuwi pa rin akong walang kasama, ha ha ha.
How about doing the deed in the kitchen? Would that be a fun place? I haven’t tried doing it sa kitchen but I would say that it can be fun there. Maraming gamit and pwesto; kumbaga sa pagluluto, maraming rekado. Ha ha ha!
Do you recommend any kitchen gadgets while doing it? Hindi naman pwede ang knife kasi makakatusok. Siguro sandok!
Now that you’re done with school, are you planning a showbiz comeback? Oo naman, after nga nung graduation ko, marami na namang projects na dumarating, I’m in the main cast on an indie film together with Gwen Garci. It’ll be shown very soon. I’m also doing a play, Ala Verde, with Leo Martinez, Alyssa Alano and Zara Lopez. Tungkol sa green jokes yung play, it’ll debut in Metro Bar this August 9.
Do you get offended when guys play green jokes on you? Hindi, kasi bastos din ako. Ha ha ha! Mahilig din ako magbato ng green jokes!
Give us one! Ah, yun birthday ko last year, sabi ng classmates ko ‘Maricar, pa-canton ka naman.’ Sabi ko, 'Oo mag-pa-pa-canton ako pero sa iba,’ tapos lahat sila nagtawanan.
We’ve received a couple of emails requesting you to do a 100% FHM Hottie shoot. What do you think fans miss the most since your last FHM appearance in our 2006 Lingerie Special? Siguro yun buong katawan ko. Ha ha ha. Kasi siguro hindi pa ako nagpapakita ng boobs na all-out, kaya siguro gusto nila akong mag-pose ulit.
This striptease concept, have you tried doing this to please someone? Nope. Conservative ako sa totoong buhay. Alam kong ayaw ninyong maniwala, ha ha ha.
If you’re going to do a striptease wearing your chef costume, what’s the only article of clothing you wouldn’t take off? Panty, para may excitement pa. Mas okay kung yun guy yun magtatanggal, ha ha ha!
