I’ve interviewed this stylish heartthrob with the following questions:

1)Do you believe in fairy tales coming true?

“Yes, I believed in fairy tales. Our daily lives revolves around real life situations, real people and real problems. Though it might sound silly, believing in what seems unreal can make everything so simple. Fairy tales seems childish but in reality, fantasy is a state of mind that can be made real if you believe hard enough. Achieving what most believe is impossible is done by those who don’t believe in impossible but rather believe in fairy tales. Their thoughts are not about failure but rather success and how to obtain it. Successful people move forward eliminating all negative thoughts and disregarding the pessimistic comments of those that say it can’t be done.”

2. What inspired me to be an Emmangelo model and talent?

“Since I have the opportunity of becoming an Emmangelo Model and Talent, I believe that modeling has inspired my life in so many different ways.”

“Not only mine but  many others in the world. By the way, it is idolize by many in the way it shows a sophisticated life style that so many want but so few can have. Modeling has inspired my life to work more harder than ever to achieve my dream in becoming a great model but not just a any regular model. A model with plenty of talents to showcase.”

3. If I could talk to an 18-year-old version of me, I’d tell:

“You should develop a healthy routine of eating and exercising habits. Invest so much time in the actual molding and shaping of my future by studying more. Realize that knowledge is strength. Learn to enjoy your own company. Never depend on the presence of other people for validation and affirmation. Patience is a virtue. “When in doubt, remain absolutely silent.”

4) The first thing I thought about this morning was:

“Thanking God for another beautiful morning, amazing life and for the blessings He has given me “

5) The era or period in history I’d fit well in/would love to live in, is during the:

“The Regency period is the time in history that I would love to live in because it is known for its elegant style. The hair, suit, dress and accessories emulated the statues of Roman and Greek design.”

6) The best decision I’ve ever made is to:

“Is Receiving Jesus Christ in My Heart and in My Life as My Personal Lord and Saviour.”

7) _____ is the best person I’ve met.

“My Mom”

8) The one thing I love most about myself is:

“My Determination to reach my dreams and ambitions with the help of God.”

9) If I had a superpower, it would be:

“Telekinesis: The power to manipulate and control objects with the mind.”

10) What do you like about Emmangelo?

“Emmangelo is one of the great agency or company since they just don’t focus in modeling. They are also developing our God given talents via specialized workshops. Emmangelo helped us in harnessing our talents via workshops like how to walk like a pro on runway and how to become more professional in dealing with the talent/fashion business while serving as a good role model to others.”

11) What do you look forward to all the time at Emmangelo?

“More photo shoots since I like doing them and Emmangelo is very creative in giving concepts of photo shoots that challenges us to be a great model. That allows us to commit to the given character to test our versatility in every or any photo shoots, runways and talent showcase that can happen in the future.”

12) What can you say about Halloween?

“Halloween celebration is a big deal especially to us Filipinos. Most of us are looking forward to this Holiday celebration. Those who are working far away would go back to their home town to be with their family. This is the time to commemorate with our loved ones who passed away.”

13) Do you believe in ghost and spirits?

“I believe in the “possibility” of their existence. There are just too many things in this life that are unexplained that it is why I can’t rule them out. Whether they exist or not and I’m comfortable with that, as long as I have Christ in my Heart.”

14) What do you usually do during Halloween?

“After visiting our loved ones who passed away we are having an annual family Halloween party and it is the most awaited part of the celebration. On the night of November 1, all of our family members will be at our grandfather’s house together with other relatives. We will play some music, some members would bring their sing-along gadgets, others are bringing their musical instruments, while there also some who would play mental games like scrabble, etc. Most would just talk and have fellowship with our other relatives whom we just see every year only during this celebrated occasion.”

15) What can you say about Herla?

“Herla is one of the first people I get along with, in all of the models. She is stunning, fierce, ravishing and beautiful. Her skin tone is nice and Herla has a great sense of humor.”

Lover “A person who likes or enjoys something specified: He is a great lover of fashion.”

 

“Romantic prospects find you irresistible and you have the ability to hypnotize someone with your sexual prowess and promise of unending loyalty. If your love ever betrays you however, they will see the ugly side of your stinger. At your core you can be extremely vengeful when hurt. You’re intensely emotional but so much of it is under the surface. Still waters run deep.”

 

“You’re the most sexy and magnetic sign of the zodiac. When you love someone, you love with an almost obsessive quality. You can easily fall into a trap of wanting to control and own the object of your affection and you’re no stranger to using sex as a weapon. After all, in your opinion, all is fair in love and war.”

Prince Charming is a heroic character who appears in a lot of fairy tales that we love. He is the prince who comes to the rescue of the damsel/princess in distress, and usually must engage in a quest to free her from an evil spell.

 

Women have always wanted a knight in shining armor who seeks for love and glory even in the modern day world.

 

 

Cinderella’s story is a fairy folk tale signifying a myth-element of unjust oppression/triumphant reward of a happy ever after that we all dream of.
