“Halos araw-araw kasi ang rehearsals namin at maraming dance numbers na strenuous talaga gawin kaya pumayat ako,” she says. “Kinarir ko talaga ang pagsayaw rito. But it’s good dahil naging mas malakas ang resitencia at stamina ko even for the most tiring and energetic musical production numbers.”
How is it different from her last concert, “Hologram”, at MOA Arena? “That one was in a bigger venue and this one, ‘In Control’, is in a smaller one kaya mas intimate siya. Guests ko sina Ogie Alcasid, Janno Gibbs, Tom Rodriguez, with the G Force Dancers. The concert is also some sort of celebration for me kasi nga it’s my birthday, then I’m celebrating my 10th anniversary in showbiz and also, I just graduated from college after finishing my masscom course at Angelicum.”
This coming June, she plans to enroll again for a post graduate course. “Mahirap pagsabayin ang pag-aaral at paghahanapbuhay sa showbiz, pero pursigido ako to pursue higher education. I want to have a master’s degree. But I don’t know yet what my major will be.”
Julie Anne should be emulated by other stars, especially those who shun getting higher education as soon as they start earning money from working as an artista in showbusiness. In her case, she already got a college degree and yet, here she is, now wanting to go on a higher level by taking up her masters. Way to go, Julie Anne!
