Andrea Brillantes responds to fan questions with a fun twist in latest vlog

She has been making headlines and has been the talk of the town over the past weeks due to various reasons. Well, it isn’t surprising since Andrea Brillantes is one of the biggest and hottest stars of her generation, right?

And from giving out controversial statements and reactions to issues she’s embroiled in through her recent interviews, the young actress went on to directly answer the questions sent in by her ardent supporters and netizens alike through the latest vlog she uploaded on her YouTube channel a few days ago – as her way of giving all of us updates about her “life lately.”

However, instead of simply spilling the tea, she and her team came up with a fun twist in order to stop her from oversharing and blabbing uncontrollably, which is by setting a 30-second timer. Once she exceeds the time limit, her older sister Kayla would dip her face onto a pillow in front of her with powder on it.

Since it took her two hours to glam up, Andrea confidently declared that she would beat the time for sure as she would never let her pretty be ruined. But it wasn’t what happened.

The fun Q and A commenced with her describing herself as “masaya, blessed, and very grateful” when asked how she is at present, which she’s able to do within about 10 seconds.

Just like some of us, the Drag You & Me actress confessed that she’s not able to fulfill her New Year’s resolutions. Although she still cannot drive on the highway, she is so proud to share that she’s able to complete her grade school and is looking forward to finish junior and senior high school in the succeeding years. And she aims to attain these goals before the year ends, along with living in her own condominium all by herself.

Since she just came from a tumultuous breakup, many are curious to find out what she’s up to nowadays. She chooses to focus on herself, especially her work, friends, family, her dogs, her fans, and her goal to be able to live independently in a condo. Besides, she has also given herself several assignments, which is a bucket list of things that she wishes to do alone, such as attend a concert, watch movies, and live in a condo. Or in short, she wants to focus on loving herself more.

Andrea then unleashed the rapper in her as she talked about her upcoming project, the iWantTFC original series “Senior High,” which excites her so much because it boasts an all-star cast.

When it comes to her message to her bashers, she fiercely told them “I don’t have time for you, guys” and scrambled to say that she doesn’t care to them at all. Meanwhile, she’s able to enumerate the things she does whenever she is burned out – bonding with her friends, go out of town, spend some alone time at BGC (or Bonifacio Global City) to pamper herself, or staying at home all day doing nothing – before the time’s up.

She also shared that she’s planning to take her family to Japan for the holidays this coming December, since she has never brought them out of the country. Besides, she’s also manifesting for her dream getaway to Paris, France will come true next year.

With everything that’s been going through in her life, Andrea imparted that the state of her mental health is better now and she stays positive by just looking at her blessings. At the same time, her heart is also filled with overwhelming love, especially on the set of the project she’s currently working on because of her co-actors and fans. The joy and kilig she felt while answering the question about the current state of her heart made her overshoot the time limit, but her Ate Kayla gave her a second chance.

The young actress also shared her piece with regard to betrayals in friendships, positively stating, “Kapag trinaydor ka na, huwag mo nang balikan. Ipinakita na niya ang sarili niya sa’yo. Hindi totoo ang second chances na ‘yan. Dami ko nang binigyan ng gano’n, hindi sila worth it.”

When quizzed if she has any advice to her future self, she said that there’s none since she wants her to learn on her own and go through life the way she likes it. Meanwhile, the greatest lesson life has taught her lately is how important it is to love herself first before loving other people.

Just in case her undeniable glow is not enough proof that happy she is at present, Andrea insisted that she is absolutely happy. Although she had to face the consequence of not being able to deliver her answer within the time limit, she still explained that the love of her family and friends contribute to the happiness she feels and that she has indeed already moved on. While she defended herself by arguing how difficult it is to prove that she’s genuinely happy, her Ate Kayla commented that Andrea no longer cries and she often catches her either browsing through or doing TikTok, and smiling by herself.

“Aaminin ko, naging malungkot po talaga ako. One month ‘yon. At masaya ako na ninamnam ko ‘yong kalungkutan ko na ‘yon at kailangan natin ‘yong harapin para mas maging maganda ang pag-heal natin. At dahil do’n, I have fully healed and moved on from everything that happened. Kahit ang dami pang mga bagong kinemerut, okay na ako kasi nakapag-heal ako nang buo at stronger ako ngayon. Feel ko mas strong ako at mas love na love ko na talaga ang sarili ko,” she related.

Andrea capped of her vlog by thanking everyone who watched or would watch her vlog, as well as announcing that she’s officially back in vlogging. So, watch out for her next uploads, Kapamilya!
