Philippine Showbiz Today August 8 - 21, 2018 17 SHOWBITZSHOWBITZSHOWBITZSHOWBITZSHOWBITZSHOWBITZ John and Isabel expecting 2nd child Three years married to John Prats, Isabel Oli-Prats is already expecting their second child. The couple married in May 2015. By April 18 the following year, they were already welcoming their eldest, Lilly Feather, into the world. Last June 26, the couple announced that baby #2 was already on his way. One would think that pregnancy would be easier now, but such is not the case for her.  “It’s way, way different. I thought the first was hard. This is harder pala!” said the actress Isabel is already at the end of her second trimester, and it seems like things are finally easing up. “I’m doing good. I’ve had bed rest for four months.” Last August 2, she joined fellow brand ambassadors Mike Tan, Gee Ann Abrahan-Perz, and Mickey Perz during the store opening of Combi Philippines. Looking fresh and blooming in her all-white ensemble, Isabel eagerly took note of the details about each product of #CombiPH, especially their top three products: stroller, parenting station, and car seat. The Japanese brand prides itself in innovating baby care. “I’m so excited,” said Isabel. “There’s less stress. Since may experience na ako sa first ko, I’m more relaxed. Even though medyo mahirap, mas alam ko na how to deal with things. Different naman every pregnancy. Mas happy, kasi alam ko na kung anong gagawin ko.”  She chooses to savor every minute of her pregnancy, both the ups and downs of it. She shared this advice for first-time moms: “Enjoy. Enjoy it talaga. There may be morning sickness and all, but don’t let that get in Carlo and Bela, JC Kylie’s sweet Angelica are back to message to keep it real break hearts Aljur During the ABS-CBN trade launch event last August 2, Exes Baggage stars Carlo Aquino and Angelica Panganiban were seen being affectionate backstage, further fueling rumors that the former couple are giving love a second chance. But Carlo said he is not bothered by what people think about him and Angelica.  “White noise. Kumbaga, kung ano ‘yung meron kami, kumbaga special siya sa akin,” he said, “Kung ano ‘yung sasabihin ng mga ibang tao, hindi ko na iisipin.” When Angelica was hospitalized last week, Carlo said he immediately got concerned and tried his best to be by her side. “Kasi SONA ‘yun, nung papunta na ako, sobrang traffic so hindi ko na siya inabutan. Pinuntahan ko siya sa bahay. Nagdala ako ng kung anu-ano,” he revealed Carlo said he and Angelica have nothing to hide and have never been awkward with each other even after they first broke up. “Oo, very comfortable kasi ako sa kanya and ganun din siya sa akin and bago naging kami, naging friends kami. Tapos ayun (laughs). Siguro dahil nagsimula kami sa friendship tapos naging kami kaya rin siguro ganun kami sa isa’t isa. Kasi nga kumportable kami na alam namin kung ano, sasabihin niya sa akin kung na- o-offend na siya sa ginagawa ko. Ganun din naman ako sa kanya. And ever since, talagang mahal ko naman si Angelica,” he explained.● the way of your enjoyment. Enjoy the rest of the experience. Sandaling-sandali lang talaga ‘yan. ‘Yung nine, ten months nila, ang ikli-ikli lang noon. They grow so fast!”● A year after their first blockbuster team-up via the heartbreaking movie, “100 Tula Para Kay Stella,” Bela Padilla and JC Santos reunite with director Jason Paul Laxamana to tell a different kind of love story in “The Day After Valentine’s,” an official entry to the 2018 Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino. The movie will open nationwide on August 15 in theaters nationwide. In “The Day After Valentine’s,” Bela plays Lani, a simple girl who likes “broken things” and Baybayin, Filipino ancient alphabetic writing system. While JC plays Kai, a guy who’s having a hard time moving on from his past relationship. On a whim, they decide to hang out together one Valentine’s day. But is it enough to leave a mark on someone’s life? Is it enough to heal a broken heart? Is it enough to change everything? With different characters and perspectives, “The Day After Valentine’s” will surely change the way you see love. According to JC, working with Bela and director Jason Paul Laxamana is more rewarding the second time around because of the undeniable chemistry that they have built while filming “100 Tula,” which also bagged the Audience Choice Award in last year’s edition of PPP.  “The Day After Valentine’s,” shot mainly in the breathtaking islands of Hawaii, will bring all kinds of mood and vibes on screen, that will send the audience on a roller coaster ride of emotions. Add to that the heart-tugging soundtracks, which include: “Akala” by Marion Aunor; “Taguan” by John Roa; “Pag-ibig Lang” by The Juans; “Feel” by Jameson Tenorio and Ian Ancajas; and “For the Rest of My Life” by Bela Padilla. ●   - Malaya “My love and my sweetheart, my heart and my soul.
