Priscilla, inoperahan

Kapansin-pansin ang pagpayat ni Priscilla Meirelles ngayon. Ayon sa asawa ni John Estrada ay marami siyang pinagdaanan sa dalawang taong nakalipas. “So much things happened, Tito Boy. Dumanas ako nang marami in the span of two years. One of the realizations that came to was that, kailangan ko na talagang bumalik sa dating ako, Priscilla. Kasi through the process ang daming nangyari including the health condition that I had that’s endometriosis. I had a surgery, removed a cyst from abdominal area. Dahil diyan marami akong natutunan of what is good and what is not good for me. What causes inflammation sa isang babae, somehow mess up with the hormones,” pagbabahagi sa amin ni Priscila sa Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.

Maraming pagkain ang iniwasan ng misis ni John dahil sa naging kondisyon. “I decided that tatanggalin ko lahat ng mga pagkain na hindi maganda sa katawan ko katulad ng processed sugar for five months. Tinanggal ko rin po ‘yung carbs na hindi nanggagaling sa earth. Ibig sabihin, all the carbs that I have is mga root crops. Potato, Kamote, and aside from that, tinanggal ko lahat ng dairy. Kasi when I had my problem, the cyst, dairy and sugar, they trigger the issue. Then babalik ako sa workout routine. Actually, that’s almost five years po I couldn’t workout. The workout routine that I do, I really went back to weight lifting. The first five months I lost 40 pounds, 7 months na po I actually lost 45 pounds. And I think that’s the limit na,” pagdedetalye niya.

Ilang taon nang napababalitang nagkaroon diumano ng hindi pagkakaunawaan sina Priscilla at John. Ano na nga ba ang tunay na estado ng relasyon ng mag-asawa ngayon? “Legally we’re still married po. Let’s just stay that way. We’re still married. I am in a place where I’m in peace. I have joy from within. I’m really having a great time, because now I have time to really focus on myself. I’m investing time on myself health-wise, physical health, mental health. I have wonderful relationship with my daughter. Whatever happens in terms of my status right now, all I can say is that technically, I’m still married,” makahulugang pahayag ng dating beauty queen.

“I’m in a point in my life na ipinaglalaban ko ‘yung sarili ko. Importante sa akin, masaya ako. Importante sa akin I have peace of mind. I went back to loving myself which was lost for many years. I am not blaming anyone. Basically, it is my fault,” giit pa niya.

Malaki ang pasasalamat ni Priscilla sa mga kaibigang palaging nariyan at nakasuporta sa kanya sa tuwing nagkakaroon ng problema. “Few years ago I lost my dad. I miss my mom so much. She’s actually coming in April. This time I realized that fa­mily is really everything. I look forward to spend time with my family, and to be able to enjoy those moments. Being in the Philippines is not easy. I have amazing friends that surround me with so much love and they are my family here. But at the end of the day, your family goes. Your parents will go. I’m just so blessed that despite of everything that I’ve been through. I’ve been in the Philippines for twenty years. Now is the time that these people loving me unconditionally in this country. It’s amazing,” emosyonal na pahayag ni Priscilla. — Reports from JCC
