Wala pa talagang kumpirmasyon mula sa couple pero bumuhos sa Instagram ni Solenn ang mga mensahe ng pagbati mula sa kanyang mga followers pagkatapos nitong mag-post ng larawan kung saan tila isang wedding dress ang suot nito.

Ayaw din daw niya ng engrandeng kasalan kundi isang simpleng seremonyas lang.

Kapansin-pansin ding lahat ng kanyang bestfriends na sina Anne Curtis, Isabelle Daza, at Georgina Wilson ay nasa Argentina.

Simple lang ang mga suot nina Anne at Isabelle sa naturang posts ni Solenn.

May lumabas din sa Internet na screenshots mula sa snapchat ni Isabelle na may nakalagay na "Mr. and Mrs. Bolzico."

Jen Rosendahl gives birth to a healthy baby boy

N

atupad na rin ang longtime dream ng dating Viva Hot Babe na si Jen Rosendahl na maging isang ina.

As Posted on PEP.ph

Isinilang ni Jen ang kanyang baby boy, na pinangalanan niyang Tyler, noong January 5, Martes, sa Cardinal Santos Medical Center .

Si Tyler ang first child ni Jen sa kanyang non-showbiz husband na si Jules Changco.

Sa Instagram account ni Jen ay ipinost niya agad ang photo nila ng kanyang baby boy.

Caption dito ng Pepito Manaloto star: "Thank you for all the prayers... gave birth jan05 9.30am baby tyler is healthy and I am also okay... gonna rest muna."

Well-documented ang panganganak ni Jen??mula sa pag-admit sa kanya sa ospital hanggang sa pagle-labor at panganganak niya ay naka-post lahat sa Instagram.

Ang latest post ni Jen ay noong January 7: "Mommy & Baby Tyler terno in blue today I am so in love with you my lil angel..."

Nag-post din si Jen ng photo nila ni Tyler kasama ang kanyang mister na si Jules.

JEN'S LATE DAD. Pero sa kabila ng kaligayahang nararamdaman ni Jen sa kanyang pagiging isang ina, may lungkot pa rin siyang nararamdaman dahil hindi na naabutan ng kanyang

ama ang apo nito sa kanya.

Two years ago ay sumakabilangbuhay ang ama ni Jen na si Mr. Volker Rosendahl.

Noon pa raw gusto ng ama ni Jen na magkaroon ng apo sa kanya.

Noong January 3 ay nag-post nga ang aktres ng isang madamdaming mensahe para sa yumaong ama.

"Once again my eyes are filled with tears and my heart is filled with so much sadness celebrating mass for daddy's 2nd death anniversary...

"We

love

and

miss

you

so

so

much #myguardianangel thank you father for being with us for 2 years during daddy's death anniv" TAKING A REST. Regular na napapanood si Jen sa GMA comedy series na Pepito Manaloto bilang ang pilosopong kasambahay na si Berta.

Kahit buntis siya noon, patuloy pa rin siyang nagtrabaho hanggang sa dumating ang araw ng panganganak niya.

Ngayong nakapanganak na siya, magpapahinga muna raw si Jen sa Pepito Manaloto dahil gusto muna niyang ma-enjoy ang pagiging isang first-time mom.

Steve Harvey immediately said sorry and took full responsibility of what happened.

Pia's whirlwind journey to Miss U crown Pia is the 64th Miss Universe and is the third Filipina to win the crown.

A

fter 42 years, the Miss Universe crown is now back in the Philippines after its candidate Pia Alonzo-Wurtzbach won the crown last December 20 (December 21, Manila time).

Gloria Diaz was the first Filipina to be crowned as Miss Universe in 1969 followed

by Margie Moran in 1973.

The Miss Universe coronation was held at The AXIS in Las Vegas, Nevada wherein 80 contestants vied for the crown.

Pia already showed at very big potential of winning even at the start of the competition.

The Top 15 were first announced wherein she is included along with Brazil, Australia, Indonesia, Dominican Republic, France, USA,

The winner for the 64th Miss Universe was a roller coaster ride after its host, Steve Harvey, announced the wrong winner.

Miss USA Olivia Jordan was crowned 2nd runner-up and Miss Colombia Ariadna Guiterrez and Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach vied for the Miss U crown.

Mistake happened when Harvey announced Miss Colombia as Miss Universe which automatically placed Miss Philippines in first runner-up.

But just as when Miss Colombia was taking her final walk, Harvey came in and apologized for his false announcement saying Miss Colombia was the first runnerup and the real Miss Universe 2015 is Miss Philippines.

Harvey even showed the cue card where the winning candidates were written.

Pia walked towards the center of the stage and was followed by 2014 Miss Universe--Miss Colombia.

Pia was not able to have her "moment" at the stage as the live broadcast of the prestigious beauty pageant was cut short.

Curacao, Belgium, Japan, Venezuela, South Africa, Colomia, Mexico and Thailand.

Top 10 was announced after the swimsuit competition.

This includes USA, Colombia, Japan, Thailand, Australia, Dominican Republic, France, Curacao, Philippines and Venezuela.

Evening gown competition followed after the announcement of the Top 10 candidates.

Pia wore an Albert Andrada blue gown.

After the evening gown portion, the most awaited Top 5 was announced wherein Pia was the third to be called.

She was asked: "Earlier this year, there was a controversy in Philippines about the United States reopening a base in your country. Do you think the United States should have a military presence in your country?"

Miss Philippines answered: "I think that the United States and the Philippines have always had a good relationship with each other. We were colonized by the Americans and we have their culture and our traditions even up to this day and I think that we're very welcoming with the Americans.

And I don't see any problem with that at all."

The Top 5 were: France, Colombia, Australia, USA, Colombia and Philippines.

Grateful for the win Before she welcomes 2016, newly crowned Miss Universe posts a long and heartfelt message on her Instagram account (@ piawurtzbach) last December 31.

Global online voting was launched during the 2015 Miss Universe as another basis of judging and Pia leads the competition.

It showed a photo of her when she was crowned Miss Universe 2015 and while she was waiving at the audience.

The other candidates' votes were also included.

She said, “I know it took me a long time to post this. I needed some time to get settled in cos everything was happening so fast.

“Now everything is sinking in and I'm almost done replying and thanking everyone as much as I can. Okay. Here goes.”

Question & Answer During the Question & Answer portion, Pia was asked why she deserves to win the crown.

Pia answered: "If I were to win Miss Universe, I will use my voice to influence the youth and I would raise awareness to certain causes like HIV awareness that is timely and relevant to my country which is Philippines.

I want to show the world, the universe rather, that I am confidently beautiful with a heart. Thank you."

She was also asked of socially relevant issues.

The Online Voters “And last but definitely not the least, to YOU. Thank you for cheering and rooting for me.

“Whether you were a die hard supporter at the Axis Theater in Las Vegas or just a silent supporter watching me from TV, thank you.

Especially to those who voted for me during the Global Fan Vote.

“You were all instrumental to my victory.

“Mga kababayan, when I was walking on stage in that blue gown, wearing the Philippine sash in front of billions of viewers on TV and online, I've never been more proud to be a Filipina.

“I'll never forget it. It was a proud yet humbling experience. And now as I continue on with my journey as Miss Universe, I hope I inspired you all.

“Not just my fellow countrymen but all of you.”

She closes it by leaving a motivation, saying: “Keep your faith, fight for what you believe in and hold on to your dreams! They do come true!

“I know I still have much to learn and a huge responsibility ahead of me… So thank you 2015 and bring it on, 2016! HAPPY NEW YEAR!”

HER FAMILY'S SUPPORT Pia also shared how she made a decision of joining Miss Philippines, for the third time.

In Miss Universe’s Instagram page, she Thanked and praises God posted: “First of all… Thank you, Lord! The countless “Here's a photo I took earlier this year.

Alden Richards cries over surprise birthday celebration on Eat Bulaga!

As Posted on PEP.ph

Madalas din umanong tumatakas si Alden sa haircut inspection dahil ayaw raw nitong sundin ang required haircut na ipinapatupad sa kanilang paaralan.

Bukod dito ay nag-perform din ng isang surprise song number ang mismong ama ni Alden na si Richard Faulkerson (a.k.a.

Daddy Bae).

N

aging emosyunal si Alden Richards sa sorpresang inihanda ng kanyang Eat Bulaga! family noong January 2.

Noong araw na iyon ang mismong 24th birthday ng tinaguriang Pambansang Bae. Una na rito ang pagkanta ng kalahati ng AlDub na si Maine Mendoza (aka Yaya Dub) ng “The Closer I Get To You.” Ipinakita rin ng dalaga kung paano siya nag-bake ng tinatawag niyang “Maine-bow cake” para kay Alden.

Kakatwang mayroon ding “Wild Boys” production number si Jose Manalo (aka Lola Tinidora) kung saan sumayaw siya nang nakabahag.

Base ito sa parehong dance number na ginawa ni Alden sa talent portion nang sinalihan nitong male pageant bago pa siya pumasok ng showbiz noon.

SURPRISE VISIT FROM DADDY BAE & FRIENDS. Pagkatapos ay sorpresang dumating din sa Eat Bulaga! studio ang mga naging guro, kaklase, kababata, at kaibigan ni Alden.

Makikitang masayang nakipagkulitan si Alden sa mga dating kaklase lalo pa't matagal na rin umano silang hindi nakakapag-reunion.

Ibinuking din si Alden ng kanyang mga guro kung paanong mahilig magpanggap na nagwawalis ang binata para lang mangulit sa mga kaklase noong nag-aaral pa ito.

1010

Kinanta ni Daddy Bae ang isa sa mga madalas na kantahin ni Alden sa "Kalyserye" segment ng Eat Bulaga! at mall shows, ang “Ngiti.”

Sa huli, hindi na napigilang napaluha ni Alden nang hingan siya ng mensahe kaugnay ng kanyang 24th birthday celebration.

Dito ay pinasalamatan ni Alden ang mga taong naghanda ng sorpresa para sa kanya kabilang na ang Dabarkads niya sa Eat Bulaga, mga mahal sa buhay, at si Maine.

Higit sa lahat, naging emosyunal si Alden nang ialay ang lahat ng tagumpay na tinatamasa niya ngayon sa kanyang namayapang ina.

ALDEN'S BIRTHDAY SPEECH. Narito ang kabuuan ng speech ng birthday boy na si Alden: “Hindi po ako nakaranas ng birthday na ganito ka-special.

“Thank you po sa lahat ng nag-isip na gawin po ito.

“Maine, thank you.

“Ma'am Jenny [Ferre, Eat Bulaga! creative consultant], sa lahat ng writers, at saka Mr. [Tony] Tuviera, Eat Bulaga! thank you so much.

at Eat Bulaga!

“At maraming salamat po sa ibinibigay ninyong suporta.

“Hindi ko po inakala na mararating namin ang ganito.

“Dahil po sa inyo 'yan.

“Bossing [Vic Sotto], thank you isinama mo ako sa My Bebe Love [Metro Manila Film Festival 2015 entry].

“At sa lahat po ng nagmamahal para sa akin, thank you, Aldenatics, Aldub Nation.

“At saka sa mommy ko.

“Ma, kung nasaan ka, sana masaya ka kasi para sa 'yo ito, e. Lahat para sa 'yo.

“Thank you po. Maraming salamat.”

ALDEN'S MESSAGE FOR MAINE. Bago magtapos ang programa ay nagbigay rin ng hiwalay na mensahe si Alden para sa kanyang ka-love team na si Maine.

Sabi ni Alden tungkol sa ginawang Mainebow cake ni Maine, “Teka lang, sandali, hindi pa ako nakakapag-thank you kay Maine “Alam niyo, pagkatapos Bulaga! kahapon, nandito siya.

ng

Eat

“Tapos, yun pala, yung shoot na sinasabi niya sa akin, pero hindi niya sinabi.

“Meron pala siyang something special.”

na

Dagdag na pahayag pa ng binata patungkol kay Maine, “Maine, thank you.

“Alam mo, sa lahat ng mga naging ka-love team ko, isa ka sa mga pinaka-special.

“Kanina pa ako nagpipigil pero hindi ko na po mapigilan [mapaluha].

“Tsaka thank you sa effort, thank you sa pasensiya kapag sobrang makulit ako.

“Thank you po. Asahan ninyo po na pagbubutihan ko po yung pagpapaligaya na ibinibigay ko sa inyo, kasama si Maine

“At saka sana walang magbabago.

Outfit Of The Day

Today’s new revolutionary social media apps, has driven fashion and beauty enthusiast a greater exploration to extend the sharing of their creativity in platforms such as Instagram, Youtube, Pinterest, Tumblr, and other personal blogs.

Growing up I have always been a “girly-girl” aspiring to one day live a Barbie fulfilled life. I have always loved playing with my mom’s makeup while walking across the living room with her stilettos. Thankfully living in this new generation of the Iphone world, my passion will no longer be kept hidden in a box. Instagram for me has been one of my greatest breakthroughs in finding my own style. Most of the people I follow are fashion bloggers, seeing their posts in a regular basis gives me a sense of what is in style for the season, and later on expressing what I learn through sharing my ideas on my Youtube channel.

Bomber Jacket TOPSHOP $85

OOTD – Outfit of the day Basic Leather Pants TOPSHOP $43

For this winter season’s ootd (outfit of the day) would have to be a green bomber jacket from Top Shop, for it is absolutely trending as of this moment. Just lately, have I totally been addicted with Topshop’s basic leather pants. Not only does it enhance the entire outfit together, but it also keeps you warm and comfortable in this chilly weather we have right now. For if you only knew how soft the fabric is!

Have you ever heard the quote “good shoes take you good place”? Well its totes true! Your shoes define where your venue will be for the day. Just a couple years go after moving from the cold weather of Winnipeg did I start ditching the Eskimo boots and the UGGS for sneakers, to match lower temperature and the everyday long distance walk we have to take in Vancouver. For this outfit I choose to specifically pair this with a black pair of huaraches, this shoe adds a striking touch to the look. It’s super sick and comfortable for an everyday wear.

QUEA MARIE

Daniel Wellington has been my everyday go to watch. Its modish and minimal style can upgrade any casual and classy outfit into the next level.

Last but not least, we will be topping this ootd off with a grey beanie; this will add a touch of character to the whole outfit while pulling it all off together.

Master Showman German “Kuya Germs” Moreno dies at 82 As Posted on PEP.ph

S

umakabilang-buhay na ang tinaguriang Master Showman na si German "Kuya Germs" Moreno.

Si Kuya Germs ay pumanaw noong January 8 ng madaling araw. Siya ay 82 years old.

Kinumpirma ng pamangkin ni Kuya Germs na si John Nite ang malungkot na balitang ito, sa pamamagitan ng isang statement na ipinamahagi sa media.

Ayon kay John, pumanaw si Kuya Germs ng 3:20 A.M. noong January 8 dahil sa cardiac arrest.

Nakasaad pa sa statement ang mga sumusunod: "He passed on in the company of his family and friends.

"He lived a full life, touched so many hearts through the years, and helped make dreams come true for most of the biggest stars in the Philippine entertainment industry.

"We are deeply saddened by his passing but we are comforted by the thought that his legacy will live on."

sa kanya sa wheelchair. Bumagal na rin ang kanyang pagsasalita.

Nito lamang nakaraang Disyembre 1, 2015 ay pinangunahan pa niya ang pagbibigay ng stars sa bagong batch ng celebrities sa Walk of Fame, sa may Eastwood City.

Kabilang sa nabigyan ng stars sina Alden Richards at Maine Mendoza.

Nakisaya rin si Kuya Germs sa New Year countdown ng GMA Network nitong taon sa SM MOA Arena.

Ang nasabing event ang isa sa mga huling public appearance ni Kuya Germs.

Halos linggu-linggo rin ay nanonood siya nang live sa comedy-musical variety show ng GMA Network na Sunday Pinasaya; kagaya na lamang noong January 3, kung saan nagkaroon ng birthday celebration si Alden.

Base sa impormasyon nakalap ng PEP, bandang 7:30 ng umaga ng Huwebes, January 7, ay isinugod si Kuya Germs

ONE YEAR AFTER. Matatandaang noong January 2, 2015 ay nagkaroon ng mild stroke ang veteran TV host-actor.

Ilang linggo pagkatapos ng kanyang stroke ay bumalik siya sa paghu-host ng kanyang radio program sa dzBB at sa kanyang late-night weekly show sa GMA Network na Walang Tulugan With The Master Showman.

Ngunit kapansin-pansing hindi na nanumbalik ang maganda niyang pangangatawan at nawala na rin ang kanyang sigla na nakasanayan na ng maraming manonood.

Bagamat nakikita pa rin si Kuya Germs sa showbiz functions ay madalas nang may nakaalalay sa kanya at nagtutulak 16

sa St. Luke's Medical Center, sa Quezon City, pagkatapos niyang ma-cardiac arrest.

Hindi na naka-recover ang veteran TV host at tuluyan nang binawian ng buhay.

MASTER SHOWMAN. Si Kuya Germs ay itinuturing na isa sa mga haligi ng local show business.

Alam na halos ng lahat kung paanong mula sa pagiging isang janitor sa Clover Theater noon ay naging isang sikat na komedyante sa bakuran ng Sampaguita Pictures, TV host, at star builder si Kuya Germs.

Mula noong late '70s hanggang laste '90s ay si Kuya Germs ang hari ng Sunday noontime block sa pamamagitan ng kanyang musical-variety shows sa GMA Network na Germside, Germspesyal, at GMA Supershow.

Itinuturing din siyang star builder dahil napakaraming mga artista ang nagsimula at sumikat sa kanyang mga programa sa GMA; mula GMA Supershow, That's Entertainment, hanggang sa Master Showman.

Kilala rin siya bilang isa sa pinakamalapit na tao sa Superstar na si Nora Aunor.

Hindi rin matatawaran ang kanyang loyalty dahil halos apat na dekada siyang nagserbisyo sa bakuran ng Kapuso network.

Isa na rito ang pagsasama ng mag-asawang Gelli de Belen at Ariel Rivera.

"Even Ariel called me, 'You know what? My golf friend was asking me if I'm okay... he said magkahiwalay na raw tayo!'

Ano ang sikreto ng 18 years nilang pagsasama?

Sagot ni Gelli, "Siya [Ariel], siya ang sikreto! Siya ang susi.

"Kasi natural na sa babae na pamilya ay importante, na pamilya ang number one. Natural sa aming mga babae yun.

"Pero para ang lalaki maging ganun ka-committed sa pamilya, bihira yun sa atin dito sa Pilipinas.

"At this point in time, parang 'pag sinabi ni Ariel na 'My family is my priority,' it's true.

"Pina-prioritize niya talaga kami, marami siyang mga hindi ginawa, at tinanggihan because of us, because of his family.

Lahad ni Gelli, "Ewan ko ba kung saan nanggaling yun!

Sabi ko nga, 'Talaga lang.'

Although wala namang selosan na nagaganap sa pagitan nilang mag-asawa, umamin si Gelli, "Selosa ako, by the way, pero hindi ako nang-aaway."

Paano hina-handle ng magasawa ang pagkaselosa ni Gelli?

Diin ng aktres, "Hindi ko naman siya inaaway, e. Just because nagseselos ako, hindi ko naman sinasabing, 'Hoy!' "Hindi naman ako ganun, e."

Kailan siya huling nagselos?

"Hindi ko na maalala.

Matagal na," sambit ni Gelli.

Dinagdag niya na hindi rin siya nagger.

"Kasi normal sa aming mga girls na mag-tumbling, 'di ba? Normal yun, e!

Miss Colombia on Miss Universe experience: “It was very humiliating for me.”

As Posted on PEP.ph

A

few weeks after the controversial Miss Universe 2015 coronation night, Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez admitted that she felt very humiliated after she was mistakenly crowned as the winner of the pageant.

According to Colombia’s W Radio, translated and published in CNN’s January 1 report, Ariadna described the whole debacle as a “great injustice.”

Gutierrez said, “It has been very hard for me, truly, it has been a great shock.”

“Because it is a dream I fought for.

“I have always dreamed of this, of being Miss Universe...

“It was very humiliating for me.”

The 22-year-old Colombian beauty queen recalled that she initially thought pageant host Steve Harvey was just ribbing her when he belatedly announced the he named the wrong Miss Universe 2015 winner.

Recounting the moment where she was momentarily shocked about Harvey’s apology, Gutierrez revealed, “I thought it was a joke.

“In the rehearsals, he did things like that.”

It can be recalled that Miss Colombia was announced and crowned as the Miss Universe 2015 winner for two minutes before Harvey apologized for his grave mistake.

Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach was then called back onstage to be hailed as the rightful Miss Universe 2015 titlist.

Following her humiliating experience, Gutierrez shared that she kept a low profile for a while to cope with what happened.

She added, “I was disconnected. I haven’t received phone calls from

almost anyone.

“Very few people have communicated with me.

“That’s because I had to grieve for what happened.”

Gutierrez also opened up about her misgivings towards the Miss Universe organization for not handling the whole debacle the proper way.

“There are a thousand ways to do things.

“They could have done it, I don’t know, the next day in a press conference or a press release... www.filipinostarmagazine.com

“They did not do things the right way,” she lamented.

Moving forward, Gutierrez maintained that she remains optimistic about opportunities coming her way.

“I managed to make history, which I think is more important than winning the Miss Universe title,” Gutierrez concluded.

Although she didn’t mention it in the interview, Gutierrez was recently given a million-dollar offer by adult entertainment company Vivid Entertainment to star in a porn movie.

Benjie Paras cool dad to sons Andre and Kobe As Posted on PEP.ph

N

agkaroon ng pagkakataon na magbakasyon at makasama ni Benjie Paras ang anak na si Kobe nitong nakaraang Pasko at Bagong Taon.

nagtutulungan.

Dumating daw ito bago ang Kapaskuhan at bumalik na rin sa U.S. pagka-Bagong Taon.

Apat na taon sa kolehiyo si Kobe, matagal-tagal bago siya maging professional player sa National Basketball Association (NBA) sa States.

"The following day, January 2, bumalik na rin siya. Halos more than a week.

December 23 siya dumating," lahad ni Benjie nang makausap ng PEP. ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) sa presscon ng bago niyang pelikula, ang Lumayo Ka Nga Sa Akin.

Natatawa naman si Benjie dahil sa pagiging bukas ni Kobe sa love life nito.

Girlfriend ng teen basketball sensation ang modelong si Gabrielle Current.

May mga nagko-comment na tila nawasak ang puso niya dahil may ipinakilala nang girlfriend ang anak.

Tanggi ni Benjie, "Alam niyo, hindi lang naman ngayon, kahit dati pa na nagkaroon din siya ng girlfriend, nagpost din siya ng picture.

"Normal lang naman sa isang tao."

E, yung marami ang nalungkot dahil sa ngayon ay "taken" na si Kobe?

"Siyempre, you cannot please everyone, ganun lang naman yun.

"I'm sure naman, itong mga nagcomments, I'm sure they're also having fun."

KOBE'S CHOICE. Kasalukuyang nagaaral si Kobe sa Amerika at pumirma na sa University of California Los Angeles.

"Graduating siya for high school ngayong year na 'to and he's ready for college na."

Lahad ni Benjie, "Ay, sa amin, wala pa yun. One step at a time. Mahirap kasi yun.

"As a player, ganun ako, e. One game at a time nga ako."

Nakilala na nga raw ni Benjie ang girlfriend ng anak. Sa Instagram profile ni Gabrielle, isa itong Filipino-SwedishKorean na singer, actress, at nasa stable ng L.A. Models sa U.S.

Pero si Kobe, goal ba niya na makapasok sa NBA?

Ayon kay Benjie, "Okey naman, nameet ko na, simple yung bata, mabait."

"Well, ang goal niya is to finish college.

Nagulat nga ako.

"Ako, very supportive. Ginu-groom ko siya para ma-deserve niya ang spot niya sa NCAA [National Collegiate Athletic Association].

"Ang daming magagaling dun at kung isa ka sa nakuha, you have to perform well kasi labing-lima lang kayong maglalaro para sa isang team."

ADVICE. Busy sa pag-aaral at paglalaro ng basketball pero may love life din si Kobe. May mga pinapayo ba si Benjie sa anak?

"Ang sinasabi ko lang, as long as it won't affect your career."

Sabi raw niya sa anak, "'You always remember the reason kung bakit ka nandiyan: unang-una, kinuha ka to play basketball.

"Masaya, [pero] siyempre malungkot, dahil malayo sa pamilya. Pero ito yung pinili niya.

"'At hindi ka makakalaro ng basketball if you don't have good grades. So dalawa 'yan.

"Pinili naming pamilya at nag-decide kaming lahat dito at lahat kami,

"'Kailangan mong magkaroon ng high grades for you to perform well.

"'So kung mai-interrupt pareho 'yan, kailangan mong i-give up [ang love life]."

www.filipinostarmagazine.com

COOL DAD. Wala raw kaso kay Benjie na may girlfriend na nga si Kobe, "Wala, eighteen na 'yan, e."

Pinapayuhan ba niya ito na maging maingat sa kanyang pakikipag-relasyon.

"Of course, lahat naman ng magulang, sinasabi mong mag-ingat."

Kinumusta rin namin kay Benjie ang isa pa niyang anak na si Andre, kung may ipinapakilala na rin ba ito sa kanya.

Sabi naman ni Benjie, "Si Andre? Wala, easy-go-lucky ngayon 'to, nag-eenjoy ngayon."

Idinugtong pa niya, "Marami naman na, marami na kong nakilala kay Andre."

May ipinapakilala na ba ito sa kanya na seryosong girlfriend?

"Wala pa. So sabi ko nga, 'May career ka rin dito. "'Kung pag-aawayan niyo [ng girlfriend] ang time... kasi ang showbiz, ang makakaintindi lang dito kung may asawa ka na."

Kailangan mong alagaan ang sarili mo. Ikaw ang makakagawa ng kaligayahan o kalungkutan. Huwag kang umasa sa iba. Dahan-dahan ka sa pagsasalita lalo na kung nasa trabaho ka dahil maraming tengang nakakarinig sa iyo at baka mali ang interpretasyon nila.

•

breathes before meals. Deep breathing will help you oxygenate your body and control your stress hormone (cortisol) from rising.

Breathing will also help you with any slight headaches you may be experiencing due to the limited intake of carbohydrates and sugar.

Chew your food. Digestion begins in the mouth.

• Intestinal health is important for

a fully functioning body. Psyllium husk will help clean your digestive walls so that your stomach can function better. You will feel fuller with no added calories.

Psyllium will also help absorb toxins and cholesterol out of your body and exercise your stomach.

Remember, the stomach is still a muscle.
