MUKHANG kering-keri naman ni Bela Padilla ang LDR o long distance relationship nila ng kanyang Swiss boyfriend na si Norman Bay.
Tulad ng ibang kilalang celebrities, nae-enjoy naman nang bonggang-bongga ng actress-director at scriptwriter ang relasyon nila ni Norman kahit hindi sila madalas nagkikita.
Ayon sa dalaga, napakarami niyang natututunan sa kanyang foreigner boyfriend kapag magkasama sila. As in wala raw sawa factor kahit ilang oras na silang nag-uusap at nagkukuwentuhan tungkol sa kanilang mga buhay.
Naikuwento ni Bela sa chikahan ni G3 San Diego ang tungkol sa pagsisimula ng love story nila ni Norman na una niyang nakilala sa Switzerland habang ginagawa niya ang pelikulang “Meet Me in St. Gallen”.
“He was studying in the University in St. Gallen. The University in St. Gallen focuses mostly on business-related courses. He was doing a course there. I met him on the last day of my filming.
“Super sakto kasi I was leaving for Zurich the next day. I was leaving town the next day, I wanted to do a road trip by myself, soul searching kasi nga I was going through something. Tapos we met on the last day,” pagbabalik-tanaw ng aktres.
Dito, naalala pa niya ang napakahaba nilang conversation ni Norman, “I think it’s interesting for people like us because when we are in the industry we work in, parang we are introduced mostly to people we work with.
“I guess that’s fun to a certain extent and then you’re gonna start looking for something else. I am not sure if it’s an isolated case for me, but I wanted meatier conversations. I wanted to learn more about the world because I didn’t want to be stuck in my own little bubble in Manila,” aniya pa.
“When I met Norman, I learned so much.’ Our conversations were flowing endlessly. He introduced me to a lot of his friends when I was in Switzerland.
“I just felt like every day I got to spend with him, or every conversation I had with him, I feel like I am learning something new.
“Which I really enjoy because I hope the people who talk to me get that from me as well. If I am not learning, I cannot give that to the people I am talking to,” patuloy pang chika ni Bela.
Sa una pa lang daw nilang pagkikita ng binata ay na-attract na siya rito pero hindi naman daw sila agad naging magdyowa.
“Obviously, he’s very handsome. None of my exes necessarily look alike. I don’t have a type but when I saw Norman, I said this guy is really cute. So I enjoyed looking at him as I was talking to him,” sey pa ng dalaga.
Sa tanong kung paano nila napapanatiling matatag ang kanilang relasyon kahit hindi sila madalas nagkakasama, “We are very similar in a sense that he also has his own thing.
“He has his own friends. He has a career in a totally different industry in the same way I am like that as well. So we understand when we both need time,” paliwanag pa ng Kapamilya star.
