It’s been four long years since your FHM debut. Has anything changed?
A lot. Well, I think I’m now more matured and more focused with what I want to do. In terms of career, there’s a shift. I’m now focusing on building my business. I’m actually into a lot of things but mainly fashion and entertainment. I’m also launching a clothing line by January.

You were off the radar for those four years. Where did you go?
When my FHM cover was shot, it was for my TV show, Out. But at the time I wasn’t really sure where I was going. I mean everything that I was doing was more spontaneous compared to now that I know what I really want to do. I’m more aware of everything. It’s very, very different now. After the TV show, I did a few independent movies. I actually signed up with Viva and I had a modeling and events company. Then I got engaged, I was engaged for about a year. Then it didn’t work out so I came back last year. But that whole year I knew I really wanted to get into business so I was actually teaching myself how to run a business while I was traveling and all these things were happening to me.
