"Fixing a Broken Heart" by Indecent Obsession.

What do you like to sing in the shower?
"Singing in the Rain."

Do you dance?
Minsan. 'Yung mga straight techno, straight house with enormous amounts of alcohol. Depende sa DJ. In fact, balak kong mag-aral ng ballroom dancing next year. Tango to be more specific. Kasi tumatanda na ako, parang 'di na bagay 'yung may mga glow sticks. Gusto kong tumanda 'yung naka-tuxedo, naka-pomada, may rosas sa ipin. Tapos may dini-dip na chicks.

What's your comfort food?
Would you believe tokwa? Pritong tokwa na may toyo, konting sibuyas at asukal.

What food don't you like?
Ayoko ng chocolate. 'Pag nilagay mo ako sa desert island, tapos may isang bandehada ng tsokolate diyan at buhay na baka, kakagatin ko 'yung baka habang buhay pa. Kakain ako ng sapatos kaysa kumain ng icing, lalo na 'yung icing sa wedding cake. Hate na hate ko talaga 'yun. Tapos pipilitin ako ng bride and groom, "Kain ka!" Sapakin kaya kita. Ang tunay na lalaki hindi kumakain ng cake.

What were you like in high school?
Responsableng estudyante ako nung high school. Councilor pa ako sa student council namin. Palagi akong late noon, ang layo ng eskwelahan (Colegio de San Juan de Letran) namin eh. Atleta pala ako. Varsity ako ng table tennis. Champion kami sa NCCA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) for four years. Minsan na lang [akong mag-table tennis ngayon].

What was your worst subject in school?
Math except for physics.

If you were to live your life stuck in a particular decade, which one would it be and why?
Fifties siguro. In terms of aesthetics, parang ang ganda ng mga linya, ang simple-simple. Napaka-functional ng mga bagay. That was the time when people wore hats. Katatapos lang ng giyera so parang may dinadala silang mentality na kung hindi extreme enjoyment, it's caution. So parang balanse 'yung lipunan. Alam mong may pinanggalingan kang traumatic, at the same time kailangan mong paligayahin 'yung sarili mo because you just went through a bad experience. 'Tsaka ang ganda ng mga amerikana, mga suits. Mad Men, parang ganoon.

What's the best hangover cure you've tried?
Kung may trabaho on that day, Biogesic at Cobra Energy Drink. Kung wala, Biogesic at Valium, para tulog buong araw.

Do you have any social networking accounts?
Friendster lang. Pero dati pa 'yun. Nakalimutan ko na mga passwords and sh*t. Wala akong Facebook. Prepaid lang ang Smart Bro ko eh. So far, hindi pa naman ako namamatay dahil wala akong Facebook.

What is the prescription of your eyeglasses?
1,200 at 1,500. Legally blind na'ko. Under the law, I'm not supposed to drive. Isipin mo, nag-start akong magsalamin, grade 2. 600 na 'yung grado ko kaagad. Congenital. Nag-try akong [mag-contacts]. Tumutugtog kami noon, tatanggalin mo, tatalsik. Kakapain mo sa floor. Leche, bahala ka sa buhay mo. Mga one month lang, kinalimutan ko na.

What's your reaction when people call you "astig"?
Ewan. Si Robin Padilla lang dapat 'yun.

Ano ang tunay na lalake?
Still the same: May tae sa brief.

He was more than just a pretty face (laughs).
