Glaiza not taking a break from showbiz, will be studying to improve self

Breathe easy, Glaiza De Castro fans. The Kapuso actor clarified that she is not taking a break from showbiz .

In a recent one-on-one interview with Glaiza with GMA News, she said she loves what's been happening in her career and she can't imagine stopping anytime soon.

"'Di ko pa nakikita 'yong sarili ko na tumigil sa kung ano 'yong ginagawa ko ngayon, mahal ko rin 'yong trabaho ko ngayon and ayoko pa siyang bitawan kaya natatawa rin ako sa mga tao na sasabihin na gusto mo mag-break ka muna sa showbiz. Hindi ako magbe-break kahit kailan," Glaiza said.

The actor said that she will only be gone for three months to study in London in order to further her studies and improve her skills as an artist.

"Kaya ko gagawin 'yong pag-aaral ko dahil sa industry na kinalalagyan ko; dahil gusto kong mag-improve; dahil gusto kong mag-expand, gusto kong ma-nurture pa 'yong skill ko na ginagamit ko for my work."

Glaiza said it's been a lifelong dream to finish school, but after graduating high school she always had to choose to her career in the showbiz industry over her passion.

She joined University of the Philippines' Open University and took up Associate in Arts. This made her realize it wasn't where her heart is and she eventually stopped and enrolled in La Salle's music production course. A showbiz project — "Temptation of Wife" — suddenly fell onto her lap, which made her hit the pause button on her education again. 

Glaiza said that despite choosing her career at that time, she eventually found her way back to music.

"Ang trabaho ko at passion ko,  'di ba sa music, tapos everytime na papipiliin ako doon, syempre gusto ko rin ng trabaho pero gusto ko ring balikan 'yong passion ko 'yong first love ko. Pero 'eto lang ang masasabi ko, magmi-meet at magmi-meet sila somewhere down the road, somewhere down the path that you're taking."

She added, "Matagal na parang sa'kin 'eto 'yong constant thought na tumatakbo sa isip ko. What if mag-aral ako i-pursue ko 'yong music? Naging malaking ano siya... parang test siya sa'kin kung i-tutuloy siya. Parang meron akong urge na lagi siyang, lagi akong hinahatak ng music, 'di ba?"

Glaiza didn't want to have regrets when it's too late and said that she feels grateful now that she has an opportunity to fulfill her dream to pursue her passion in music.

"Grabe 'yong blessing ngayon ni Lord sa'kin, na ngayon matutupad ko 'yong pangarap ko na mag-aral. Tapos work na hindi sya nawawala. Minsan iniisip mo na baka mamaya kapag nag-aral ako makakalimutan na ako ng tao, eh 3 months ka lang naman mawawala."

The "Liway" actor will pursue a course in music production in United Kingdom for three months in 2019. — Jannielyn Ann Bigtas / AT, GMA News
