Enjoy din naman daw siyang mag-work out pero takot pa siyang magpunta ng gym sa ngayon.“Ako I would love to go back to the gym because I love working out, lifting weights…Pero diba medyo scary because of Covid? Scary siya.”
It wasn’t until she gave acting another try—via FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano on ABS-CBN and now through the upcoming fantasy series na Lolong ng GMA-7—that Priscilla Almeda realized how much she missed acting.
“I miss acting, I miss what I used to do and there are things na hindi ko pa nagagawa,” say ni Priscilla sa kanyang virtual media conference kamakailan. “So, iyon naman ang gusto ko naman ma-try doing other roles I’ve never tried before.”
Sixteen years din kasi siyang nanirahan sa Canada and bumalik lang ng Pinas upon the invitation of her first love na si Jomari Yllana. Little did she know na mauuwi sa malalim na relasyon ang pagkikita nilang muli ni Jom. Now, she is staying for good.
And since she’s here, mukang maraming offers to act kaya kinailangan na niyang magpa-manage sa Viva Artists Agency.
However, during the time she was away, never daw sumagi sa isip niyang mag-acting comeback.
“Actually, before, nu’ng umalis ako never ko naman naiisip na babalik ako, na go back into acting… that’s why I’ve been away for 16 years. Wala talaga sa isip ko noon. Although once in a while, nag-uusap kami ni Tito Nestor [Cuartero, her original manager]. Sabi ni Tito Nestor noon, if I come for vacation, try and work a little.”
Pero aminado siyang sakali mang makauwi siya ay baka hindi naman pang-comeback ang beauty niya.
“Before I was so big…super big,” natatawang pag-amin niya, “Super big. Siguro mga almost 200lbs na. I’m not kidding.”
Natuto raw kasi siyang magluto sa Canada at bukod pa sa aminado ring foodie.
“So, I cook and I eat. Sabi kong ganu’n, I don’t think na kaya kong pumayat. So, ni-rule out ko na ’yong coming back to act, right?”
But when love beckoned at nag-decide siyang magbalik-Pinas to reunite with Jomari, na-inspire daw siyang magbawas ng timbang.
“Then ano, after a while, before I decided to come home, I worked out. I got my personal trainer and I lost so much weight. In span of five to six months, nag-lose ako ng 60-70 pounds.”
And now na desidido na siyang mag-fulltime acting ulit, mas pursigido siyang mas magbawas pa ng weight at mas magpa-beauty with the help of her beauty clinic of choice.
“Now, since I’m gonna start working again, I’m already going on my sessions in Ortiz Skin Clinic.
Ang galing, they have this new machine. You don’t need to work out anymore. Meron machine it’s called lipo cavitation. Nakaka-aliw! The machine goes all over your body, sina-suction niya ’yong fats and then and then it breaks down. The machine is called M sculpt. They hook you up into this machine. Para ka ding nagwo-work out. It contracts your muscles 20,000 times in the span of three minutes.”
Aniya, habang takot pa siyang mag-gym ay malaking tulong daw ang mga reliable body sculpting machines na sinusubukan niya,
“Ako I would love to go back to the gym because I love working out, lifting weights…Pero diba medyo scary because of Covid? Scary siya. But I’m lucky that I have Ortiz Clinic. That all these machines are preparing me for work.”
When asked kung isinasama ba niya si Jomari, na medyo on the heavy side din lately, sa kanyang weight-loss journey…
“Niyaya ko siya,” nakangiting say niya. “He’s ano, he’s doing it his own way.”
“Because we both love to eat, e,” dagdag niya. “And as I said I’ve learned how to cook. I so love to cook any dish that when we go to a restaurant, if I taste a certain dish, I already know what’s inside it and I try making it. Plus, I also like to bake.”
The struggle is real. Haha!
