Hopefully maabot natin ang dapat nating maabot, and then I’ll probably be ready to go back,” she said.</p><p>“Meron namang mga offers na guestings and stuff like that, pero I want to come back a better and a new me. So hintay-hintay na lang muna,” Ricks added.</p><p>According to Ricks, she is now exploring different kinds of workout routines.</p><p>“Right now I’m doing Plana Forma which are bar exercises. I also run in UP… I’m trying a new workout, it’s more of weight training. I exercise twice a week lang, pero iba-iba. I try to mix it up,” she said.</p><p>Aside from working out, Ricks also keeps her hands full by looking after her three-year-old daughter, Kiera.</p><p>“Sobrang good so far. Maraming blessings na pumapasok and good pa naman ang flow, so sana tuloy-tuloy for the rest of 2018,” she said.</p>
