“I’m so grateful na isa po ako sa napili nila, kasi siyempre alam naman natin na housewife na ko, eh, di ba? Artista pa rin ako pero hindi ko naman ineexpect na kahit sa panaginip ko, mag-Hollywood magazine,” she said, adding that until now, it still feels surreal.

According to Rufa Mae, she was initially looking for a photographer for Athena who is about to turn four years old then, when a friend informed her that she will be featured in a magazine. The unexpected turn of events made her realized that nothing is impossible. “So thank God at nagplano lang ako ng maganda para sa anak ko, [ang] ending, ako pa ‘yung nagkaroon ng magandang mga photos. So parang nothing is impossible. Siguro ‘pag para sa’yo, para sa’yo. Mangyayari.”

In her magazine feature, she said, “Doing something you love and being good at it provides wisdom, joy, and positivity.” Rufa Mae said that it was her past experiences in showbiz that inspired the said quote.

“Kasi ‘nung araw, lagi akong late dumating sa set. [Tapos] para akong malungkot… Parang ‘pag papasok ka sa school, di ba, may araw na, ‘papasok na naman ako, ayan na naman, gigising ng maaga.’ Parang gano’n ‘yung mind setting ko, eh... Tapos lagi ako tuloy lalong nadedelay, nalelate, kung anu-anong nangyayari bago makarating sa taping. Tapos ‘pag dating ‘dun, galit sa’kin ‘yung mga tao.”

It was this instance that motivated her to change for the better.

“So alam mo kung anong sinabi ko sa sarili ko? Anong gagawin ko para magbago ito? Hindi ko na rin kaya na masigawan, nakakahiya na. At saka ako mismo, ‘yung feeling ko ayokong gawin… ‘Dun ko narealize, after ilang event na hindi pwede ‘to kasi ito ‘yung trabaho ko eh... ‘Di ako natulog magdamag kakaisip, hanggang sa naiyak-iyak na, nagdasal ako. Sabi ko, ah kailangan pala mahalin ko trabaho ko para lagi akong ma-excite… Iniba ko ‘yung mind setting ko.”

Changing her mindset brought positive changes for the actress as loving her work gave her more opportunities. “So maganda ‘yung effect sa nagagawa ko para sa tao. ‘Yun na nga ‘yung wisdom, positivity, and all.”

Rufa Mae also opened up on how she felt when she went on a showbiz hiatus for a quiet life in the US. Admitting that she somehow felt down, she learned to keep the faith that paved the way for her to eventually meet the right people to help her get up again.

“May rason bakit nahaharap sa’tin ang lahat ng bagay. Ba’t dumarating, ba’t dumadaan tayo sa isang bagay. So for me, instead na magpanic, magworry, mag-nega, so positive muna. Kagaya ko, lumaki ako. Ngayon, nag-gi-gym na ‘ko. Sumexy na ulit. Kasi parang ano ba ‘yan, akala ko wala ng chance. Parang takot na takot na ko sa pandemic, may anak pa ko. Ninenerbyos ako [na] magkakaubo kami… Tapos wala akong karir. Pinapanood ko na lang ‘yung iba sa Philippines, namimiss ko sila, ganyan. Tapos naghuhugas akong plato rito, naglilinis, lahat ako. So alam niyo ginawa ko? Dasal dasal tapos wait wait lang. So ngayon ko masasabi talaga lahat ng quotes ko na ‘yan kasi nangyari eh.”

Reiterating that nothing is impossible, she said, “’Wag tayong mawalan ng pag-asa habang may buhay.”

She further narrated, “Sabi ko nga, ‘Bakit gano’n, Lord?’ Naghuhugas ako, umiiyak, ‘Dami kong narating sa Philippines,’ sabi ko. ‘Sumikat ako, nakapundar ako, kumita ako… Glam team, ganyan… ‘Bakit dito,’ sabi ko, ‘Wala. Ito lang ba ang ending ko sa buong buhay ko na ginawa ko pagsusumikap?’ Kaka-emote ko ng gano’n tapos ending ko, dasal dasal. [Ang] ending, alam mo ‘yung binigay ng Diyos? Nagtiwala ako sa Diyos… Sabi ko, laban… Kakagano’n ko, ayan ang ending, na-meet ko lahat ng tamang tao na magdadala ulit sa’kin sa harap niyo.”
