Hindi ko alam kung papaano ko gagawin di ba, nung inoffer sa akin ng ABS-CBN na si Mr. Ernie Lopez I was so shocked.

Boy said, <i>“Ask me. Nabasa ko mula umpisa hanngang dulo.” </i>Boy even lauded the author for her no-holds-barred honesty. “<i>Nobody can ever tell a story like this, (na nasasabi na) ‘Noong una kong dalawang anak hindi pa naman ako mahal ni Eduardo, the reason why Elvis is my favorite son is because doon ko naramdaman na mahal na mahal na ako ni Eduardo…</i>.” </div><div><br/></div><div>Annabelle laughed and revealed more juicy details about how she got to win her husband, the dashing actor Eddie Gutierrez. <i>“Saka pinaplano unlike yung dalawang kids ko talagang pamimikot ba. Nagpapabuntis ako para mapikot ko talaga siya. Hindi pala tama yun, kaya ang advice ko nga sa libro ko hindi tama yung mamimikot ka kasi lalong maiinis yung lalaki sayo lalo kang iiwasan. So after Ruffa inulit ko pa uli, another one. Baka sakali pag dalawa na papakasalan na ako wala pa ring nangyari, mas naging worse pa ang relation namin. Kaya nag-antay na lang ako kung kailan niya gusto talaga.”</i></div><div><br/></div><div>Boy revealed some of the book’s contents. <i>“Nandito ang art kung paano ang tamang pagsabunot, paano ang pagsampal.” Annabelle then said, “yung kasabunutan ko namatay na nga e.”</i></div><div><br/></div><div></div><div><br/></div><div><img src='' alt='122915-anabelle_main.jpg' width='400' height='290' align='left' border='0'>Boy confirmed Day, Hard! is a fun read and a good gift idea this holiday season. Annabelle added, “<i>Mag-eenjoy sila diyan Boy. Dapat ‘pag binasa nila yung mag-isa lang sila, especially ‘pag nasa toilet sila ang sarap basahin.” </i></div><div><br/></div><div>Asked who she wants to read her book, Annabelle answered, <i>“yung mga hiwalay sa asawa, yung may problema sa asawa’t boyfriend, hindi alam ang dapat gagawin nila yung mga ganyan e. Kasi marami diyan ang bobo sa pagibig e.” </i></div><div><br/></div><div>To illustrate, Annabelle then shared her friend’s story, who she said is a showbiz personality and whom she has given love advice to. <i>“May kaibigan nga ako sabi niya sa akin nahiya daw siyang, showbiz ito ha, nahiya daw siyang batiin ang asawa niya kasi daw mapride daw siya. Yung asawa naman niya mapride din daw. Kaya tumagal ang paghihiwalay nila umabot ng mga 10 years. Sabi ko,  ‘Day, kung gusto mo pa ang asawa mo batiin mo na, (…) Unahan mo na, kasi ang mga lalaki mapride din yan, kailangan tayong mga babae kung mahal mo ang lalaki kapal ng mukha ang gagawin mo, kaya’t nandiyan (pointing to the book) kapal ng mukha, lakas ng loob.” </i></div><div><br/></div><div>On Fast Talk, Annabelle said she is more beautiful than Ruffa and that Raymond takes after her personality more than Richard.
