You really have long legs. How tall are you?
5'7"

But you don't have large, fleshy parts.
Mapayat lang talaga ako. Actually hindi pa ako ganun ka-comfortable sa body ko, pero inisip ko I'm only 18.

And you have a few small scars on your legs. Playful?
Mahilig kasi akong mag-shorts kaya madali akong magpeklat. Pero thankfully nawawala rin kaagad. Itong isang peklat lang ang hindi natangal, nakuha ko pa nung nandun pa kami sa Cotabato. Nakangakas kasi ako sa motorcycle, kuya ko yung nag-da-drive tapos bigla kaming sumemplang.

Your friends were teasing you looked like someone famous.
Sabi nila may resembalnce daw kami ni Jen Mercado. Tapos minsan sinasabi din nila si Solenn [Heussaff] ...pero wait, and epal ko naman na sinabi ko yun!

Is fresh and cocky something you don't want to come off as?
Okay lang naman yung confidence. How I wish nga that I could be more like yung girls na nakikita ko sa pages ng FHM in terms of posing and lakas ng loob. Pero iba yung confidence sa pagiging epal at mayabang. Ha ha!

What about in men? Does cockiness suit them better?
Pare-pareho lang. Para sa akin hindi yun maganda, hindi attractive.

Not attractive?
Kasi sa generaton ngayon parang halos pare-pareho lang yung diskarte ng mga tao.

By diskarte, do you mean when they're hitting on you?
I mena like hindi maiiwasan yung mga nagpapa-impress. Yung kahit alam mo nang wala, nag-i-insist na meron. Yung mga nagpe-pretend.
