Yeng Constantino admits being single sometimes gets to her
ABS-CBN.com caught up with Yeng Constantino at the rehearsals for the Star Magic Concert to be staged this November 13 at the Araneta Coliseum. The Pinoy Dream Academy’s first Grand Star Dreamer was sporting a new hairdo which prompted questions as to whether or not she had someone in mind who inspired the change. “Wala namang taong dahilan kung bakit ako blooming. Sobrang happy ko lang siguro sa buhay ko ngayon kaya napapansin niyong blooming ako. Conscious na rin ako sa look ko ngayon. Nararamdaman ko na kasing nagdadalaga na ako, kahit na dalaga naman na talaga ako, ha ha ha! Siyempre hindi na rin pwede ‘yung dati na haharap ako sa mga tao na magulo ang buhok ko. Bilang babae dapat naman siguro matuto akong magayos ng sarili ko.”
The 20-year-old singer-composer added that she is just experimenting with other looks that might suit her aside from the rocker image that she had been known for since she joined Pinoy Dream Academy. “Ayoko lang matakot na mag-experiment. Matagal na rin kasing mahaba ‘yung buhok ko so nagpagupit na ako at nagpa-bangs na rin ako. Ngayon din hindi ko na nakakalimutang mag-blush on. Hindi ako pwedeng lumabas ng bahay na walang blush on. Kasi kapag hindi ako naglagay magmumukha akong maputla.”
ABS-CBN.com also asked Yeng if her new looks have gained her new suitors. “Hindi ko alam kung naa-attract sila sa akin. Parang hindi naman, ha ha ha! Kung meron mang magpaparamdam okay lang naman sa akin, huwag lang sana niya akong mamadaliin. Ang priority ko pa rin siyempre ‘yung family ko, career, pangatlo lang ‘yung love life.” Coming from a conservative family, Yeng said she still prefers to be courted in a traditional way. “Okay lang naman kung may mga gustong manligaw sa akin. May mga nagpaparamdam kaso tingin ko hindi ligaw ‘yun e. Para sa akin ang panliligaw e ginagawa pa rin sa bahay, sa harap ng family. Mas gusto ko ‘yung courtship kesa lumalabas para makipagkilala.”
After breaking up with fellow PDA ex-scholar RJ Jimenez, Yeng was courted by young model-actor Carlo Guevara, which eventually didn’t work out. While she said that her career remains her priority, Yeng admitted to ABS-CBN.com that being single sometimes get to her. “To be honest nararamdaman ko ‘yung lungkot. Minsan nagse-senti ako na bakit sa mga ka-edad ko ako lang ‘yung walang boyfriend. Nakakalungkot talaga siya minsan. Pero kasi parang napaka-ungrateful ko naman kung ‘yun lang ang irereklamo ko. Dapat ang makita ko pa rin e ‘yung mga blessings na dumadating sa akin. Thankful ako na blessed ako pagdating sa career at sa family.”
As a best-selling musician and well-loved performer, Yeng may be considered way out of league of many men. But Yeng just has a couple of simple requirements for the man willing to steal her heart away. “Gusto ko ‘yung lalaking rerespetuhin ‘yung pagiging babae ko. ‘Yung hindi ka lang naa-appreciate dahil sa physical beauty mo. Gusto ko rin ‘yung magiging proud sa talents ko. Ang sarap na ‘yung partner mo e super supportive sa mga bagay na gusto mong gawin.”
