A posting on social media from someone who’s undoubtedly a fiercely regular follower of “Inday Will Always Love You” says they’re hooked on the show because of Happylou’s charming personality. “Para siyang modern day Cinderella, pero mas palaban,” she says. “Kapag inaapi siya, lumalaban siya pero hindi siya nananakit na gaya ng character ni Gladys Reyes as Amanda na siyang pangunahing contravida sa show. At kahit drama ang eksena, nagagawa ni Barbie na haluan ng comedy para good vibes pa rin ang dating for us viewers.”
“Salamat naman sa magagandang feedback na natatanggap namin from the audience,” says Barbie, who now has her own vlog on youtube where she demonstrates how she puts on make up. “Lahat kami sa cast, we make an extra effort na mapaganda ang show. In interpreting my role as Happylou, malaking tulong yung fact na masayahin naman talaga ako sa totoong buhay. Hindi ako yung type na basta susuko agad sa problema o sa pang-aalipusta ng ibang tao. Dapat laging malakas ang fighting spirit natin at kapit lang tayo lagi kay Lord sa pagharap ng mga problema sa buhay.”
Fans are also intrigued that two handsome guys are competing for her attention, Derrick Monasterio as Patrick and Juancho Trivino as Ernest. So, which one is nearer to her heart? “Naku, malay ko ba sa isusulat na script. Pero hold on lang kayo kasi malayo pa naman ang tatakbuhin ng show namin. Babalik pa kaming lahat para mag-taping sa Cebu this week kaya abang-abang lang kayo sa latest na mga mangyayari sa buhay ni Happylou and her boylets.”
