Joyce Jimenez talks about being Pantasya ng Bayan

“Okay lang!" Joyce exclaims, when asked if she’s comfortable with her sexy image. “Because it’s a part of me, I’m very comfortable with my sexuality, I’m comfortable with people looking at me like that, because that’s the way I came about and stuff." It’s amazing that Joyce can maintain that kind of body without going to the gym. She prefers 20-minute exercise routines five times a week via DVD workout videos. “(I workout) in the morning, before I start my day." She adds “I used to go wake boarding. Well swimming, I used to do that a lot. That’s about it. I don’t do a lot of things, (really)." So what makes her sexy? “I don’t know, it differs from person to person. (Most probably) my eyes. They’re very expressive. And I guess the way that I can look at people. I can really tell my emotions through my eyes because I’m very (pauses) emotional!" she shares with a laugh. Joyce was on the cover of FHM’s 100 Sexiest issue, and she imparts that it was great to be in the magazine’s market again after a long time. “It was nice to know that with all the choices that they had, especially for that cover, and considering that I am a bit older than most of the people now, you know, it’s very flattering. Not a lot of people are able to do that. ‘Cos the first time I posed was like five years ago. And then they got me again." Low-maintenance hottie! How does Joyce stay pretty all the time? “Diyos ko! What is it? I try not to wear make up as much as possible. When I’m not working. And then simple lang, I just use Belo Soap and then that’s it. And then I just put night cream on." She adds, “I’m so kurips! I give myself hot oil treatments at home! Because I have one of those caps you can like heat up your hair in. And that’s it! Or I just put conditioner sometimes and just leave it there!" Like her no-frills personality, Joyce’s fashion sense is also quite simple. “If it’s at all possible, I’d be wearing black all the time! Or change in a t-shirt!" You’d love to bring her to mom! What does Joyce look for in a guy? “I think someone who’s just real, someone who’s honest," she replies. “I’ve always said that no one’s perfect. I know everybody has their flaws. And so my thing is this: that if you’re a certain type of personality and you’re like this, you’re like that, don’t pretend to be someone else that you’re not. Because it’s going to come out." So I always tell people that I’ve dated in the past, ‘If you’re mean then be mean. You may never know I might actually you know, accept it.’ There are some flaws in people that you’re able to accept, and there are some flaws that are deal breakers. So (show them to) me. I myself, I’m mean, I’m moody and stuff like that – but not all the time!" “That’s all I want -- it’s just honesty. And you know, just be real. If you’re like that from that start then ok lang!" “As a girlfriend, Joyce says she’s “very affectionate. But not like 'yung P.D.A.! I’m a very affectionate person. Thoughtful, (too). Like if I go to the mall, (and) there’s something he mentioned 2 days ago like, ‘Oh, I’m craving for this.’ I’ll go to the mall, buy it, and I’ll send it. Maalalahanin. Parang ganoon. Tapos maalaga. I take care of (him)." You want to know something about Joyce that not everyone knows? “I’m great with parents!" she reveals with a grin. “My ex-boyfriend’s parents still call me. They still want me to get back with their sons!" She explains, “Because for me, family is very important, personally. It’s only because whoever I’m dating, I would want them to get along with my parents, and it’s not the ‘tit for tat’ kind of thing, it’s just that I really make an effort, you know? "To get to know…Whoever is my boyfriend’s family. And it’s important for me. I build a relationship with them, individually. Not so much because of my boyfriend. I build relationships with them, and that even if we broke up they would still call me and they would say come on over and stuff like that. For me, family’s number one," she added.- iGMA.tv
