“Do something to make yourself happy,” she advised. “You only live once, hindi ba (isn’t it)? Just do things that will make you happy.”
She said she noticed a difference in the way she looked at herself, noting that she looked self-conscious in past videos. “Now when I look at my photos now, when I look at all the videos I take, parang ang saya ko (I look so happy).”
“Let’s not be afraid of change and let’s not condemn change,” she added. “Kung may gustong mag-change, ipa-change mo sila. Bahala sila basta masaya sila (If someone wants to change, let them change. As long as they’re happy).”
Berdin also said that she has been busy during the quarantine with schoolwork as she takes up communication arts and, at the same time, dabbles in singing and songwriting. Niña V. Guno /ra
