Dream house, actually excited ako para dito, dalawa kami, kaya work hard kami parehas,&quot; Zeinab added.</p><p>Do they have a date for their wedding already?</p><p>&quot;Hindi naman kaya within the year kasi ang dami pa natin kailangag focusan, pero next year talaga, sure &#x27;yung next year na ang kasalan,&quot; she replied.</p><p>Now that she is tying the knot, Zeinab was also asked if show business would be taking a back seat.</p><p>&quot;Actually tatanggap pa rin naman ako ng project as long as kaya ko po. Ayaw ko lang po tumanggap ng project na mapapasubo ako tapos iluluwa ko, mahirap po &#x27;yun.
