“I am nosebleeding already,†Annabelle Rama confessed to Funfare yesterday, half in jest and half seriously. “Madugo, ‘Dong!â€
She was referring to the Gutierrezes’ reality-TV family show It Takes Gutz To Be A Gutierrez (similar to that of the Kardashians) which is set for airing early next year.
“It’s my first time to speak English all the way,†added Annabelle, “kasi wala daw mag-Taglish. My gosh, I hope maging natural ang acting ko, sana hindi ako magmukhang tanga sa mata ng tao,†expressing herself more clearly in Taglish.
Annabelle recalled that during the shoot (much like the Jim Carey starrer The Truman Show), she and daughter Ruffa would often clash because Annabelle would forget to speak English to her children and even to the maids and the drivers.
For their family show to be successful is one of Annabelle’s wish for the New Year.
The others:
• â€All the negative people who surround me and all the kamalasan in 2013 ay lumipad ng malayung-malayo at mag-goodbye forever;â€
• â€Good health for my family. God has been good to us; thank you, Lord, for all the blessings!;†and
• â€New Year, new life…and lots of revelations. Basta, abangan ang susunod na kabanata!â€
