Megan, naging ibang tao nang tumira sa probinsya

Susubukan ng mag-asawang Megan Young at Mikael Daez ang tumira ng isang buwan sa Subic.

Nabanggit nila noon sa kanilang podcast na gusto nilang subukan ang tumira sa probinsya kung saan tanaw nila ang mga bundok at maraming puno sa paligid.

Nagsawa raw kasi sila sa pagtira sa city lalo na noong magkaroon ng lockdown ng ilang buwan.

Sey ni Megan: “2021 is a new beginning for all of us ‘di ba? Well, we decided to test it out and, thankfully, they allowed us to rent first, so we’re testing out the waters on the feel of the house, how we feel about the environment, and kung good vibes, is it something we wanna do in the future?”

Mas gusto raw kasi ni Mikael na makapagsimula sila ng pamilya sa isang tahimik na lugar at hindi magugulo and privacy nila.

Kuwento pa ni Miss World 2013, tanaw daw sa balcony ng inuupahan nilang bahay ang green forest ng Subic. “It feels so uplifting for me. Wow, uplif­ting. Rejuvenating, I feel like a new person. Maganda siya, pero kakaibang feeling nararamdaman ko just looking at this because, usually, I see a building in front of me. Now, I see a forest,” sey ni Megan.

Isang problema lang daw sa bagong tirahan nila, hirap silang i-pin ang kanilang address tuwing nagsa-shop online silang mag-asawa.

Naghahanda na rin daw ang mag-asawa sa ihu-host nilang singing competition sa GMA-7 na Sing For Hearts. “We auditioned for this before the pandemic struck and completely forgot about it because we weren’t sure if they were going to continue the show. We weren’t even sure if they were going to pick us. We don’t know when that’s gonna start but we’re super excited because, as we’ve said, we’ve been doing this podcast but we’d also love to be able to take our hosting skills and our own rapport to TV so this is a start, right,” sey ni Mikael.

Iya, hindi pa atat mag-travel

Wala raw ginagawang travel plans pa ang pamil­ya ni Iya Villania-Arellano ngayong 2021 habang may ongoing pandemic pa. Kahit na raw may ibang pamilya na nakakapunta na at nagbabakasyon sa mga kilalang beach resorts, mas gugustuhin daw ni Iya na nasa bahay na lang muna sila. “Reserved pa rin ako. Ang hirap umasa, eh. I’m just going to enjoy being with my family. I am trying not to give in to being complacent. Kasi dahil ngayon, medyo lumalabas na ‘yung mga tao. I feel that people are starting to ease up. I’m trying not to give in to being complacent. I’m still trying to make sure that we’re very strict with our safety protocols,” diin ni Iya.

Kapag ligtas na raw ang lahat, doon na raw pag-iisipan nila Iya at Drew ang pamamasyal kasama ang kanilang tatlong anak na sina Primo, Leon, at Alana

“The moment that it’s safe to travel, that’s something that I would like to do with the kids. I would love to be able to get outside more whether it’s out of town; I am not sure about out of the country. That might be a long shot.”

Sa ngayon ay work from home pa rin si Iya sa kanyang mga shows na 24 Oras, Mars Pa More at ang 10-minute weekly cooking show na Eat Well. Live Well. Stay Well with Chef Jose Sarasola.
