Despite her aggressive and outspoken facade, you’d be surprised that Alex de Rossi also has some conservative ideals up her sleeve.
Everyone knows she’s fun, spunky, and fearless, and the public loves her for being just that -- real. But despite her aggressive and outspoken facade, you’d be surprised that Alex also has some conservative ideals up her sleeve. In this exclusive interview, she shares her views on love, dating celebrities, and moving on after a breakup. Interview by Jillian Q. Gatcheco. Photos by Mitch S. Mauricio. POST BREAK-UP VIEWS... Her recent celebrity breakup didn't seem to take a toll on Alex’s outlook in life. In fact, she says that it even did her some good! On the best thing a guy did for her... Iniwanan niya ako. Para makaalis (ako) sa impiyerno! Ano (ang) lasa ng ampalaya? Hindi ko na nalalasahan! Hindi na nga ako nag-aasukal sa kape, e! On the number of times one should forgive... Forgiving, pwede, forgetting hindi. Kasi once na nag-forget ka, naku! The next time, forgive and forget ulit, forgive and forget....Kakapagod ‘yun, kakadrain! On moving on after a breakup... Sarap! I go out with my friends – hindi mo ako makikita sa bahay – hindi talaga! Pupunta lang ako doon para matulog, maligo, tapos pag gising ko, alis na naman. Kailangan mo talaga ng friends para maka-cope ka, and prayers, and books! Or some hobby lang, like ako ngayon, magte-take up ako ng piano lessons sa U.P.! Bagay kasi sa personality ko ‘yung mahinhin! Have you always been musically inclined? Ever since naman, mahilig na talaga ako sa music. Eh nag-try ako mag-guitar hindi kaya, nag-try ako mag-drums, hindi kaya, baka piano. Although pinakamahirap daw ‘yun, pero malay mo? On her next career move... Gusto kong maging singer! Seriously? Oo! Celebrity dating perks! She’s dated some of Philippine showbiz’s hottest bachelors, and she spills the real deal about them! On dating hot celebrities... Masarap, kasi bawat move nila, alam mo, eh. Maraming tatawag sa akin, ‘Nandito si ano....!’ ‘Ay! Talaga?’ Tsaka mas maganda kasi nagkakaintindihan kayo sa work niyo, alam niya na busy, alam niya na late matapos ‘yung taping, alam niya na kailangan ganiyan, kailangan matulog nang maaga, naiintindihan din nila ‘yung mga kissing scenes, ganiyan... On handling a strict boyfriend... Hindi (pa) naman (ako nagkaroon ng ganoon). (Pero) ako naman masusunod, eh. Alam ko naman kung kailan ko kailangan makipag-kissing scenes, at saka kung hindi kailangan. Kung hindi naman kailangan, hindi ko ginagawa. On issues that make her mad... Pambababae. Doon lang ako nagagalit. On being the jealous type... Hindi naman. Alam ko lang kung kanino. STARTING OVER Who would’ve thought that a gal as feisty as Alex could not even tell a guy straight out that she likes him? It turns out that Alex is a softie when it comes to matters of the heart! On love at first sight... I believe in it! With the twinkle in the eyes pa! Maraming beses (ko) na nga (naramdaman), eh! The first time I saw him, siyempre, parang... ‘Type ko siya!’ Tapos pag alis niya, ‘Saan siya punta? Akin siya!’ Tapos mami-meet mo siya after ng ilang araw ulit... ‘Ay! Hi!’ Ganoon! Tapos magiging friends kayo, text kayo kaagad, kasi love at first sight, eh! On making a guy notice her... Ay! Gusto ko yan! Hindi ko rin alam, eh! I mean, kasi, yung pagka-notice sa akin ng guys, effortless ‘yun, eh! Given na ‘yun, eh! Mano-notice nila ako talaga for sure kahit wala akong gawin! So hindi ko alam kung paano, siguro, I’ll be myself lang pa rin! On telling a guy that she likes him... Hindi ko yata kayang gawin ‘yun...siguro pa-joke. Kunwari...Ito, very Alex ito, ha: ‘Ano tingin mo sa akin? Type mo ako, noh? Don’t worry, type rin kita!’ Tapos tatawa ako, hahahahaha! Pag siniryoso niya, eh di okay, pag hindi, eh di joke! What if he takes it as a joke? Eh kung joke lang ‘yun para sa kaniya, eh di ibig sabihin, hindi niya ako type! On stalking a guy... Ay! Hindi (ko) naman yata (nagawa pa)! On courtship... I believe in it sometimes. Pinagdadaanan lang ‘yan ng isang lalaking ayaw ng babae. Pag gusto mo na kaagad, wala nang courtship ‘yun, kayo na kaagad. ‘Yung courtship kasi, kailangan mong i-win ‘yung babae, eh. ‘Yung una, hindi mo type, tapos mabait pala. Pero once na type mo naman siya, huwag mo na padaanin doon! Kayo na kaagad! On kissing on first dates... Aaaaay! Ayoko niyan! Mga third, pwede na! Unang-una, hindi naman ako nakikipag-date talaga. ‘Yung mga nagiging ka-date ko lang eh yung mga naging jowa ko. And after the kiss, kami na, noh! On flings... Ay wala, hindi dapat ‘yun. Pangit tingnan, eh! Ano ba ginagawa dun? Nagki-kiss din ba ‘yun? O kaya nga! Bakit ka magki-kiss sa isang tao na hindi mo naman love? Kung love mo, e di mag-jowa na lang kayo! RELATIONSHIP 101 What are Alex’s views on intimacy and marriage? Read on to find out! On going “all the way”... No, of course not! Kissing lang, pwede? Hanggang doon lang ‘yun dapat! Kissing-kissing! No touching, no petting, no second base, no third base! On meeting the parents... Ay! Gusto ko ‘yan! Masaya ‘yan! Doon mo makikita ‘yung concept ng relationship ng partner mo -- kung paano ‘yung parents niya. On not getting along with the boyfriend’s parents... Ay, nangyari na ‘yan sa akin, pero hindi ko na problema ‘yan! On winning the parents’ hearts... Be myself lang, kasi kailangan naman, eh. Kasi kung magpapaka-plastic ako, ang pangit naman nun, di ba? On marriage... I love it! Of course (it’s a requirement!)! For couples to be intimate, kailangan may marriage, noh! On divorce... Ay, ang sakit niyan! But of course, wala tayong magagawa kung kailangan talaga, di ba? Pero siyempre, if you’re gonna get married, make sure naman na ‘yun na talaga, di ba? On guys who kiss and tell... Ay, ang cheap! Ay! Lagot siya sa akin! Sasapakin ko siya! Bastos siya, noh! Kaya nga hindi mo ‘yun ginagawa pag maraming tao, kasi kailangan dalawa lang, tapos ipagkakalat sa maraming tao...Ang tanga-tanga niya! On describing herself as a girlfriend... I am the perfect girlfriend! Mabait ako, maalaga, kahit sa vitamins mo, ako bibili. ‘Yung ganoon? At hindi ako madaling magalit. Actually, hindi talaga ako nagagalit. ‘Yun siguro ‘yung part na nagiging boring ang ng isang relationship. Pero once na nagalit naman ako, ay, goodluck to you! Bye bye! Talagang you’re dead!
