"Actually si Vern kasi, hindi talaga siya showy na tao, pero nung time na naging pregnant ako, mas naging sweet siya sa akin. Sobrang excited din siya siguro talaga. At ngayon, wala nang mga away bata katulad nung mga first months nung relationship namin. Ngayon talaga, nakita namin 'yung pagbabago ng isa't isa so sobrang happy ko ngayon," she said.

She went on: "[Dati] sarili lang namin 'yung iniisip namin pero ngayon 'yung priorities namin sobrang nagbago talaga. Kasi kaming dalawa, hindi naman kami breadwinners sa family, so ang iniisip lang namin is 'yung gagastusin namin for ourselves... Ngayon naiba na. Okay, iwas muna sa ganyang gastos, iba na 'yung priority ngayon. And surprisingly, akala namin magiging mahirap siyang (luho) i-let go, pero parang hindi mo mamamalayan na, 'Ay parang hindi na ako mahilig sa ganyang bagay. Parang mas nae-excite ako kapag may nakikita akong gamit for our baby."

"Nung time na nalaman kong pregnant ako, si Vern, gusto na niya talaga. Pero sabi ko sa kanya... no pressure. Kasi ayaw kong madaliin natin. Okay lang naman kung hindi pa tayo ganun ka-ready. Gusto ko ang maging priority muna talaga natin is si baby," she said.

"And parehas din kasi naming naiisip na mas gusto naming ikasal after na ng pandemic, kasi kami ni Vern, we [both] came from a big family. So gusto namin andyan sana lahat. Okay na lahat, kasi hindi naman namin pinapadali parehas," she added.
