Biglaang dinner lang, gusto ko lang mag-vlog kasi matagal ko na ring hindi nakaka-dinner si mama kasi panay work ako and all,&quot; she said. &quot;Pero may kapalit, magdi-dinner tayo sa masarap na masarap at favorite na favorite mo.&quot;</p><p>Upon arriving at the car dealership, the actress blindfolded her mom.
