Sir Ogie Juliano, my favorite director. If Tita Maricelle is a Rolando Tinio actress, I consider myself an Ogie Juliano actress. I will miss him every time I step onto a stage.

I had hypertension at the beginning of the year, hence the weight loss. Also discovered I had a benign heart condition, which scared me shitless at first, but now I am ok with it.

My bodybugg. It's a nifty device that you wear and it senses how many calories you burn every minute of the day. It makes losing weight simple. Not easy, just simple.
