So your boyfriend is doing official business here. How did you use up your free time?
We went to Boracay and it was really awesome! I did everything I can to maximize my three-day stay and just have fun, scuba diving, going to parties, and eating! The food there is amazing, really great. Although it was rainy, I still enjoyed it.

Do people here look at you differently?
They call me Marilyn Monroe! Back in Romania, I’m just really an ordinary girl. Yes, I did model before but there are tons of other tall blonde girls there. Some say I look more like Anna Nicole Smith, others say I resemble Gwen Stefani! Ha ha ha! But I guess I try to combine every bit and piece of all those pretty ladies and be my own. 

What made you decide to join the local show business here?
I met Ariani Nogueira in some shop around Bonifacio High Street and told her I was a model, too. I gave her my portfolio, she gave it to her producer, and boom! It just happened. It was really the hands of fate and I’m very thankful. Ha ha ha!

What have you done so far?
There’s this gag show, Ogag; a Lucky Me noodle commercial; and a Shall We Dance special.
