Masaya si Bela Padilla sa sunud-sunod na proyekto niya sa GMA-7.

Bukod kasi sa kanyang afternoon soap opera na Hiram na Puso ay ipapalabas na ang pelikulang My Kontrabida Girl, kung saan makakasama niya sina Aljur Abrenica at Rhian Ramos.

Nakapanayam ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) at iba pang media si Bela kaninang tanghali, Marso 1, sa presscon ng My Kontrabida Girl sa 17th floor Executive Lounge ng GMA Network sa Timog Avenue, Quezon City.

NOT YET HER PEAK. Sinabi niya sa amin na bagamat sunud-sunod ang kanyang proyekto sa Kapuso network, pakiramdam niya'y hindi pa ito ang "peak" ng kanyang career.
"I can honestly say na I haven't reached my peak yet, this is not my peak yet.
"I'm climbing up pa lang.
"So, mas aabangan siguro nila 'yong talagang 'pag moment ko na... hindi ko pa feel na moment ko na ngayon.
"I'm gonna have my own moment, but it's not here yet," saad ng 21-year-old Kapuso talent.

SEXY BELA. Samantala, bukod sa kanyang mga proyekto sa GMA-7, naging abala rin si Bela para sa cover shoot niya sa nangungunang glossy men's magazine na FHM.

Si Bela ang cover girl para sa March at anniversary issue ng FHM ngayong taon.
Ayon sa young actress, noong nakaraang taon pa siya kinukuhang maging cover girl, pero ilang beses niya raw itong tinanggihan.
Paliwanag ni Bela, "I backed out the last minute because I wasn't ready yet.
"I don't want to give people half-big performances.
"So, it's unfair to FHM kasi they'll gonna spend a lot, 'tapos mukha kang hindi ready, di ba?
"So, I wanted to give them a performance na they'll remember—and I think I've achieved that naman."

Things have been relatively quiet on the homefront forJudy Ann Santos. Save from starring in a teleserye, Juday has been busy living a blissfully wedded life, concentrating on her family and settling into her life's biggest role as Mrs. Ryan Agoncillo.

A month shy of marking their first wedding anniversary, Juday speaks with the glow of a woman who truly married the love of her life. She tells Women's Health in their March issue, "Kapag may taong dumating sa buhay mo at tawa lang kayo nang tawa most of the time, na wala kang pretensions kapag kaharap mo siya, na wala kang tinatagong kahit ano, kusang lalabas ang nasa loob mo. Kasi ang happiness mo, hindi mo ma-contain! Kusa lang—pop!—lumalabas sa 'yo!"

The couple keeps their relationship fun and exciting by being spontaneous, as Juday says, "Kahit sa bahay lang, parang nagde-date na kami. Twice nakapagluto ako ng formal dinner for two. Nag-set up kami sa garden ng bahay at ang waiter namin, siYohan!"

At the mention of her adopted daughter, Juday turns pensive as she tells Women's Health, "Ngayon ko na-experience na hindi pala biro [maging] nanay. Parang maysense of achievement ka 'pag may nagagawa ka para sa pamilya mo. At the same time, hindi mo akalain na magagawa mo pala 'yun sa isang araw." She notes that balancing a career with taking care of your husband and child can be fulfilling, but quite tiring as well. "Bilib ako sa mga nanay! Wala pang lumalabas sa akin pero pagod na ako. Eh sila pa kaya? I applaud them!"
