The experience, she said, served to help her in  pursuing a childhood dream and healing her “inner child.”</p><p>She wrote, “First day back at the barre at DBC ISAS Conservatory, with the amazing Tita Des guiding every step! Ballet is challenging, but I’m loving each moment — proof it’s never too late to follow a dream and heal my inner child, one plié at a time.”</p><div><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fheavenperalejo%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0ev2vYRAYenjJuLoBrKyUQFktXYhNhd9vpwgr33mhe5AxcB5ZoY4DfY493zn7vFFsl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="250" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-19" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DBWFqo4vj75/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A19%2C%22os%22%3A11877272.199999988%2C%22ls%22%3A765096.4000000358%2C%22le%22%3A765109.1000000238%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-19" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Among the other things Heaven has taken up interest in is motorsports.

There&#x27;s something so freeing about being on the road, and I&#x27;m excited to finally feel it firsthand.&quot; </p><p>Aside from that, Heaven has also learned mixed martial arts and tennis.</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/12/08/20/heaven-peralejos-tip-to-new-pbb-housemates-dont-let-others-define-you"><strong>READ: Heaven Peralejo&#x27;s tip to new &#x27;PBB&#x27; housemates: &#x27;Don’t let others define you&#x27;</strong></a></div><p>In a recent interview with ABS-CBN, the former <em>Pinoy Big Brother </em>housemate shared some advice to new housemates with this year’s new PBB Season. </p><p>“Living your life under the camera 24/7 is tough. May times na you get so self-aware na pinapanood bawat kilos mo, so minsan you second-guess na your words or actions,” she recalled. “What I learned from my stay is that you need to not let others define you, because you know yourself more than anyone else.“ </p><p>“That’s why when things get hard, it’s very important that you don’t lose the reason kung bakit kayo pumasok sa bahay ni Kuya. At the end, I can say that being a &#x27;PBB&#x27; housemate is worth it,” she added. “Kaya to all the new housemates, I hope you all have a wonderful time. ‘Yung learnings and experience niyo inside the house madadala niyo yan paglabas. Good luck to everyone.”</p>
