Among women, every day is a beauty contest — although I don’t know how many of the female population would admit that.

It’s the start of a typical day in the life of Pia Guanio, Monday through Sunday, and what punishing schedule she follows!

Reflexology & Foot Spa in Mabini St., Malate, Manila.

On the other hand, there is something that pleases Mercy even more – seeing a whole row of customers sleeping and snoring!

"When I hear them snore," Mercy explains, "I consider it an achievement. That means they’re in deep sleep and are relaxed!"

Very few people probably know this – maybe not even Tintin – but I’ve always been quite fond of her.

Tintin and I actually worked together for about a year in Showbiz Lingo when she co-hosted the show with Cristy Fermin and myself. I thought she was a great addition to the program.

Ayon sa mabait na boyfriend ni Tintin Bersola, may technical provision sa kanyang kontrata sa ABS-CBN na hindi siya puwedeng lumipat nang agad-agad bukod pa siyempre sa maganda ang naging resulta ng usapan nila ni Atty. Dong Puno, ang SVP ng News & Current Affairs ng Star Network.
