Julia Barretto avoids stalking on social media, 'Para wala nang gulo.'

By Racquel Quieta

Julia Barretto and beauty expert Dra. Vicki Belo played a fun game of "Never Have I Ever" during Manulife's recent webinar titled “Health Matters: Caring for your mental and physical well-being,” and their revelations were both surprising and relatable.

Binge-watching

If there was one “addiction” that many are guilty of, it'll definitely be binge-watching series or movies on Netflix.

Both Julia and Dra. Vicki admitted to falling into the bandwagon of marathon-viewing during the pandemic.

Julia fessed up to watching Emily in Paris in one day, while Dra. Vicki said she finished it in three days.

“Scarlet sleeps with us eh. So, no time to do [that]. I did Emily in Paris in three days,” Dra. Belo said.

She also noted, “So, when you have babies, Juls, you can't do it anymore.”

Going vegan

We hear of many people adapting to a vegan lifestyle, whether it be because they are animal lovers, or they simply want to be healthier and avoid meat.

Julia revealed that she once tried being vegan, but she found that being a purist vegan isn't a sustainable lifestyle for her.

“I lasted only two to three weeks, I think.

“Meat is very important to me and because I did like a blood test wherein you find out what foods are good for you.

“I'm tolerant to all types of meat. So, I wanted to keep that in my diet.”

Not eating the whole day

When it comes to extreme and unhealthy ways to lose weight, both Julia and Dra. Belo admitted that they have fallen prey to these wrong methods, especially not eating for one whole day.

Dra. Belo warned, “Actually, you slow down your metabolism when you do that. So, it's not a good idea. IF [intermittent fasting] is really the way to go.”

Not showering for more than two days

Living in a tropical country makes it almost impossible to last a day without showering, much less going two days or more without showering.

So, it's completely understandable that both Julia and Dra. Belo have never done such a thing.

Actually, Dra. Belo showers more than two times day. Three to five times to be exact!

“Well, the advice is don't shower more than two times a day, right?

“And then don't take very hot shower--which I love to do--kailangan warm lang, 'di ba? Kasi it will dry up your skin.

“But, I don't listen to my own advice. But I'm telling you that's what you should do.

“But me? Love the feeling of hot.”

Stalking an ex on social media

Dra. Belo revealed that she used to stalk an ex on social media, just to see who he's currently dating.

Luis Manzano, host of the webinar, then asked what she would do if she accidentally liked an old photo of an ex while cyberstalking him.

Dra. Belo replied, “If I did, I would scream, I guess. But I think what I did is I used to use my friend's phone para walang mistake talaga.”

Julia, on the other hand, played it safe and answered, “Ako, ito (never), para wala nang gulo [laughs].”
