November 23, 2001 | 12:00am
Hi Rissa!
Lucky girl, you! As Benetton girl, youll get to be exposed internationally, you can wear cool clothes and keep them (plus you get paid), you meet interesting people and... you spend more time with Tim Yap. Oh, hes one cool cutie! If I could be transformed into a guy, Id like to be him! Hot Tim Yap! Can I be his girl? He! He! I think its impossible kasi hindi kami bagay. The only similarity we have is we both look Japanese. Other than that, no more!
Oh please, Genie Rissa, grant my wish. Please feature the man, Tim Yap. Thanks a lot! Moon
Dear Moon,
Yeah, I must admit, being chosen as one of the faces of Benetton and being New York to shoot the spring/summer 2002 catalogue and international campaign sure is great!

The best thing about being Tim Yap is... all the friends I make.
The worst thing about being Tim Yap is... people misinterpreting my fun.
My parents have always said... to always be a good boy and follow the traditional route.
But I say... live according to your own beliefs and party on.

God should take me in heaven... because the goal of my life is to make others happy...plus even God enjoys a good party.
All I want for Christmas is... a trip to Italy...and world peace.
