“Itong industry – acting, singing. Kahit five years na ‘ko, galing ako sa Protégé. Parang every time you’re faced with a failure or rejection, parang iisipin mo, ‘Does this mean na I’m not really for this, I’m not really for TV? Hindi ba ‘ko marketable?',” she posed.
 
She admitted to being tried by the challenges of the industry she got into, even sometimes comparing herself with her fellow celebrities.
 
“Ang dami naming nag-co-comedy. May iba pang super mas sexy – like sa Bubble Gang 'di ba? – sexy girls na nag-co-comedy din, even taller or even more beautiful girls,” she added.
 
Though she falls into those moments sometimes, she endeavors to stay on the bright side of things.
 
“Thankful tayo sa blessings… [I’ve been part of the iconic] Bubble Gang and I have guestings… [and now I’m part of A1 Ko Sa’yo]… Itong show na ’to, matagal ko namang pinag-pray saka hinintay kasi nga, after [dumating 'yung] Bubble Gang na ilang taon na din, ngayon lang ako magkakaroon ulit ng ibang show, 'yung talagang part ako at cast ako,” she added.
 
Being part of the sexy sitcom has been a blast so far and she looks forward to how it’ll help her grow as an artist.
 
“Ngayon lang ako may role na character talaga na gagampanan. Sana this will open more projects or more opportunities [and I get to surprise people and they’ll say] ‘Uy, kaya pala niya mag-ganito,” she concluded.
