Dati kasi </i>princess<i> tapos may konting</i> love story and different <i>yung</i> character <i>namin kay </i>Mikay and Gino <i>sa</i> soap,” she shared during the Chic Nails branch opening on Sct. Tuason, Quezon City last May 24.</div><div><br/></div><div>The 17-year-old actress said fans of their love team will still get to see more exciting scenes between her and DJ. “<i>Hindi naman sa ma</i>s mature<i> ang</i> roles<i> namin dito, hindi naman</i> super matured <i>pero siguro</i> one step<i> lang na</i> level up <i>konti pero hindi talaga</i> super mature,” she added.</div><div><br/></div><div>In her new role, Kathryn plays an artistic girl named Chichay Tampipi which is why she started taking painting lessons earlier this year. “<i>Pinag-</i>painting workshop<i> nila ako kasi</i> artist <i>yung</i> role<i> ko</i>. So<i> nag-</i>paint <i>ako tapos mag-ba</i>-bonding workshop<i> pa ata kami, hindi ko pa alam yung </i>schedule <i>nila</i> and more of <i>ganun lang</i>,” she shared. Kathryn admitted she discovered a different side of her personality because of her new hobby.</div><div><br/></div><div>The young actress even gave co-star DJ one of her paintings for his birthday last month. “Actually<i> hindi ako </i>artistic<i> talaga pero dahil nga sa</i> soap <i>parang na-e</i>-enjoy<i> ko yung </i>painting.<i> Akala ko</i> before<i> wala akong</i> artistic side <i>pero ngayon masaya pala siya tapos parang nakaalis siya ng </i>stress for me <i>pag nag-pe</i>-paint <i>ako. Masaya lang</i>,” she admitted.</div><div><br/></div><div>Kathryn said that the more chances she gets to paint, the more creative she can get and she derives inspiration from a lot of elements. “We paint different subjects<i> kasi</i> different<i> yung pini-</i>paint<i> namin </i>every day. For example <i>ngayon mag-pe-</i>paint <i>kami ng mga tao tapos</i> tomorrow sunrise <i>naman. Iba-iba,</i>” she said.</div><div><br/></div><div>As part of what is arguably the hottest teen love team in the country today, Kath said there is never any pressure for her and DJ to be “<i>kilig</i>.” The pretty morena said they have tried to be the same two people they were when they were first paired in the teen-oriented show <i>Growing Up</i> in 2011. “<i>Kasi kami naman hindi naman kami yung ine-</i>effort-<i>an na yung bawat galaw kailangan kilig talaga. Basta kami,</i> the more natural the better <i>na mas gugustuhin yun ng tao yung natural, hindi </i>scripted<i> masyado at yung tama lang</i>,” she explained.</div><div><br/></div><div>For more updates on Kathryn Bernardo, log on daily to <a href='http://www.Push.com.ph'>Push.com.ph</a> and follow <a href='https://twitter.com/Push_Mina'>Push_Mina</a> on Twitter.</div>
