Dennis and Jen, nadala sa kissing scene?
Article posted October 13, 2006
Pinaguusapan ang kissing scene ni Dennis at Jennylyn sa Now and Forever: Dangal, dahil parang totoong totoo daw ito. Ayon kay Jen, lahat na daw ng pampatanggal ng nerbyos ay sinubukan na niya dahil sa sobrang kaba. "Pero wala e, talagang pinagpapawisan ako, ang lamig ng kamay ko, at nanginginig ako."
Nagpapasalamat lang si Jen dahil inalalayan siya ni Dennis sa kanilang kissing scene. Pero kinakabahan din daw si Dennis.
"Kinakabahan na parang excited din, kasi bago siya. Nakakanerbyos kasi hindi mo alam kung anong reaksyon ng mga tao. Hindi ko alam kung may magagalit ba o ano," ayon kay Dennis.
Pero pagkatapos daw ng eksenang yun, mas relaxed na daw sina Dennis at Jen na magkatrabaho.

If Jennylyn Mercado had her way, she would still live in Las Pinas, where she spent her childhood days. But her busy schedule dictated the need for a house in Quezon City, closer to the hub of showbiz.
Las Pinas is never out of Jens mind. Kasi nandoon lahat ng kamag-anak naming, especially ang father ko, she says. Saka dito sa Quezon City, ang layo ko din sa mga kaibigan ko, Jen adds.
Her future plans include saving up and relocating to Las Pinas. Gusto ko sana, ipa-renovate ko yong bahay naming doon. O kaya, kahit hindi sa dati, basta malapit pa rin doon.
Still, she intends to hold on to the Quezon City townhouse. Dito lang siya. Uuwi lang ako dito pag maraming trabaho or pag alanganin na. Parang halfway house lang.
