If there’s one adjective that can be used to describe Aya Fernandez, it’s “candid.” Here at <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com">ent.abs-cbn.com</a>, we had a little game with the “<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/nagaapoynadamdamin">Nag-Aapoy Na Damdamin</a>” actress wherein she would go through a list of statements that reveal the truths and lies about her. We call it the “Truth or Lie” Challenge.She confessed interesting things that all her fans out there would really love to discover!As a former beauty queen, and with her lovely figure, it’s quite a surprise to know that she’s not into fashion. “Although I have a high appreciation for art, I think it’s not my main thing, it’s not my strength.” That’s why she’s more content with just window shopping than actually splurging on fashion items. “I’m very, very kuripot,” she admitted.Cooking can also be filed under her “weaknesses.” She shared, “Wala akong alam sa kusina. Ang contribution ko lang ay paghugas ng pinggan, preparation, taste test, mga ganyan.”“But I’m ashamed of it at kailangan ko matuto kasi llife skill ‘yun, eh.”Aya inadvertently teaches us to acknowledge our weaknesses and focus on our strengths. She might not be an expert in cooking and fashion, but she’s good in the field of sports. She was part of her high school basketball team. Then, she crossed over to hip-hop in college, and recently, she’s learned volleyball.She can play instruments, too, ranging from piano to ukulele, guitar, and percussion. “I love music,” gushed the former MYX VJ.She’s a certified animal lover as well. Aya has a pet snake named Cheesecake. Initially, she was only a dog person, but she learned to love cats as well after gifting her mom with a pet cat.“Lie,” she debunked the statement “I hate eating.” As a matter of fact, she can finish a whole box of pizza in one sitting, that is, if one sitting is equivalent to two hours or more. “Masama sa isang aktor ang nalilipasan ng gutom,” she justified further. “At higit sa lahat, masama ’yung meron tayong food wastage so kailangan natin ubusin ‘yan.”She can’t finish 10 cups of coffee a day, though. Only three cups would be her maximum caffeine intake.She makes sure to tip servers or waiters, as she’s aware of their struggles having a sister who studied Hotel and Restaurant Management.Aya answered “neutral” to whether or not she’s a social media addict. “As much as I want to try to be intentional, minsan talaga hindi ko naiiwasan yung scroll ka nang scroll. Parang alam ng social media kung ano ‘yung dapat ipakita niya sa akin para hindi ako umalis,” she admits that the struggle is still there even after she turned all her notifications off. “I’m trying to work na hindi. Pero kasi baka feeling ko hindi ako addict pero ganu’n na pala,” she related, adding that social media is inevitable with her line of work.Now let’s talk about love! It’s true that she’s a martyr when it comes to relationships, but she’s not the jealous type. “I respect ‘yung boundaries. Ako ‘yung tipo na kahit hindi ka mag-reply ng three days, I don’t mind.” She also won’t mind her partner having a crush on another girl, so long as the partner knows his boundaries as well.Aya is single at the moment.Watch her in “<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/nagaapoynadamdamin">Nag-Aapoy Na Damdamin</a>,” Mondays to Fridays, at 3:50 pm, on <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/articles-news/kapamilya-channel-livestream-12685">Kapamilya Channel</a>, <a href="https://kapamilyaonlinelive.com/">Kapamilya Online Live</a>, TV5, and A2Z.
