Being single doesn’t mean that you are unhappy. In fact there are those who enjoy being single more than being in a relationship. One example is Kapuso artist Sheena Halili, who is very vocal about enjoying her single status.
“Di naman ako nagmamadali, 'di naman sinasabi na dahil wala akong boyfriend 'di pa ako nakaka-move on. Ako lang ‘di lang ako doon nakakahanap ng happiness. Hindi naman natin masasabi na masaya ang tao dahil may lovelife siya. Masaya ako ngayon, sobrang saya ko ngayon. Wala na akong mahihiling pa para masabing masaya ako. Sobrang gusto ko kung nasaan ako ngayon,” she said.
According to Sheena she knows how good it is to be in love and be with someone, but she is currently focused on her faith. She shared, “Kung darating man ‘yun, ang ipinagdarasal ko talaga ay man of God, 'yung magiging mabuting leader for me, na hindi ako malalayo sa Kanya. Hihintayin ko ‘yun. Darating naman ‘yun, ang focus ko lang ngayon e i-share ko 'yung happiness na ipina-feel sa akin ni God.”
Sheena admitted that she has suitors. However, she does not go out without her friends. “Never pa akong nakipag-date ng dalawa lang kami. Laging group and kapag alam ko na, [walang chance, sinasabi ko na]. Kasi importante pa rin sa akin na [maging patas], kasi ayokong makasakit or magpaasa.”
Sheena admits that at the end of the day, she entertains the thought of companionship and falling in love again.
“Gusto ko mag-start as friends kasi ayoko ng magjump agad na parang may audition na maging boyfriend ko. Ayoko ng ganoon. Gusto ko maipakilala ko muna kung ano ako, at gusto kong makilala kung ano siya. Kasi pag ligaw laging best ang ipinapakita e. Gusto ko 'yung talagang barkada lang then mas masarap siguro 'yung ma-fall nalang kayo sa isa't-isa,” she said.
Sheena keeps her heart guarded in finding “the one”. She shared, “Ganoon naman ako mula start, hindi naman ako 'yung lumalabas na lang basta-basta or nakikipag-date. Basta may gusto sa akin, date na. Ako siyempre, importante pa rin sa akin na babae ako and 'yung future ko. Wala akong ibig sabihin, pero ang nasa heart ko kasi, ayokong masabi na 'ayan na-date yan ni ano 'yan, or na-date ni ano 'yan'. Ayoko ng ganoon. Gusto ko kapag nakipag-date ako, siya na.”
Sheena happily declared that she is not looking for a boyfriend. She prays for the right guy to come along and be her husband. “30 sana nameet ko na 'yung guy. Okay lang sa akin basta 'yung right guy, willing ako mag-wait.”
