Rich Asuncion, Sheena Halili, Yasmien Kurdi and Colleen Perez (not in photo) celebrated their birthday at the VLUNA Hospital |
I think this story is just in time. We've heard the horrible news about the 44 fallen soldiers who lost their life to MILF men. Unfortunately, there's still an ongoing investigation to find out who ordered who and who's responsible for the death of these heroes. Anyway, I was fortunate enough to witness a worthwhile birthday celebration at the VLUNA Hospital in Quezon City. Stars of GMA Rich Asuncion, Sheena Halili, Yasmien Kurdi and Colleen Perez wanted to at least give back to the community and spend some time with soldiers that have been sick, injured and on rehab while they are have served the country all these years. We all have dreams, these men are just like the rest of us, they have families, they have kids to support but they still chose to defend it against the country's enemies. It's for this reason that these ladies find it important to at least make them happy, even just for a while.

The ladies started by singing and dancing with the men, women, their relatives who are all confined at the hospital. Their smile, it was priceless. You wouldn't even see that they have reasons why they are confined there, but some even if they've got one leg left, some confined to a wheel chair, they all joined Rich, Sheena, Yasmien and Colleen standing up a couple of times so they could participate with them.

Yasmien's wish is just to have Yagit to further be successful and she's even excited to share that there will be more things to watch out for in the story of the show. She also got her daughter there and everyone adored her - she even started to play along with the crowd. Star quality? Perhaps, but just like any parent, Yasmien would want Ayesha to finish her studies first before anything else. She greatly credits the viewers for the success of her show and promised you'll be seeing something shocking in the coming weeks, especially with the issues behind Elisa and the Dad.
Talking with Rich, she only wished for her studies to be done on 2017. That's quite near and it's UP. She also wishes to have a love life soon. She's independent, she's got lots of friends, she entertains all of them but hopes he arrives soon, she's so ready! Haha :) She also thanked everyone who supported Yagit and now it's going to be extended, I heard until April if I'm not mistaken. With the event, she thanked Artist Center. She didn't have a celebration personally but this event really made her realize she still has a lot to thank for. She also wishes everyone would support the soldiers, as they've given so much for the country. Rightfully so, they deserve all the help they can get.
She also added "Congratulations to MJ Lastimosa, she's done a great job representing the country and I'm proud that we came from the same trainer. The fact that she represented us, we all should be proud of that. For us you are the winner! Thank you!". She also teased that there will be a lot of things to happen in the story, she even hinted a wedding will happen real soon! Who? She wouldn't tell, but you know how that goes.
Sheena celebrated in Baguio and had some "Family Time" because she's going to be very busy in the coming months. She doesn't want anything, but she wants a real, exclusive love life. She's 3 years single but is still looking for that perfect guy. She's not choosy, but she just knows what she wants now. Simple things, a sense of humor, adventurous, stable, affectionate, nothing big really. In VLUNA Hospital, she felt really good to have seen the soldiers and says thanks to Artist Center for making this event possible. They may have gone to kids centers, some seniors and these soldiers are way different and it was touching to see them smile even at their state. She's working hard and also thinks about her education. She still wants to finish her studies and it is very detailed so sometimes she needs to go to her classmates house just to understand subjects even if she had to go right after a shoot. She feels her grades are a little sacrificed because of her work but hopes she can go back to it seriously. She's not contented with just plain studying at her capacity and wants to do more because she knows what she's capable of. They had so much fun that afternoon and thanks all the soldiers for accommodating them.
Thank you so much to their sponsors Thai Tea, Mogu Mogu, Boardwalk, Flawless and GMA Artist Center for chipping in so they could give the soldiers some gifts too before they left the hospital that afternoon.
