Yassi Pressman
MATINDING preparasyon ang ginawa ni Yassi Pressman para sa bago niyang project kasabay ng pag-amin na nagdalawang-isip pa siya kung tatanggapin ito o hindi.
In fairness, pasabog ang naganap na grand reveal ng pagiging calendar girl ni Yassi para sa isang brand ng alak last November 8 sa Makati Diamond Residences.
Sey ng aktres, hindi raw talaga siya handa nang alukin para maging Ginebra Calendar Girl 2023, “I really wasn’t prepared kasi talaga. I think physically, that’s number one. I was on vacation tapos kailangan ko bumalik, and then kailangan in two weeks, I’d be ready to be on this calendar with millions of copies.
“So the pressure was there and I know a lot of people din, who came before me, were almost perfect, right?
“Pero sabi ko rin sa sarili ko, ‘Just go and be your healthiest version of yourself. Kung ano kaya mong gawin, go strive for your best because you’re only in competition with yourself, so do your best lang.’ I hope you guys like my best,” pahayag ni Yassi nang humarap sa entertainment media.
“Shocked and honored” daw ang dalaga nang matanggap ang offer, “At the end of the day, being a part of such a great legacy is something that’s still gonna be a milestone in my life.
“Hindi ko ever na-imagine pero when the opportunity came to me, tapos sabi ko, ‘Ang ganda-ganda ng brand, and siyempre it’s been around 188 years, and to be chosen, it’s such an honor.’ So I think it’s really something special na kailangang paghandaan.”
Bilang paghahanda bago ang kanyang pictorial, “I had to go on a nutritional diet. Of course, that’s still good for your body. It was quite challenging, but, in a way, it’s really fun as well.”
Samantala, nag-share rin si Yassi tungkol sa mga challenges na hinaharap niya para napanatili ang kanyang healthy lifestyle.
“I’m so open to everybody about you know, like my battles also with like yo-yo-ing (yo-yo dieting o weight cycling) and eating properly and healthier and being stronger.
“So I feel like if I do achieve this, hopefully I get to empower other people.”
“I went through a big fitness journey this year, katulad nu’ng napakita ko rin naman sa mga tao online. It was a lot of discipline for me, mentally, physically. But I feel good, I feel happy, I feel healthy.
“I hope this inspires people also to get back. ‘Cause yun yung usual comments na sinasabi na parang nagti-thank you sila. So for me, I’m happy if we all like grow together,” aniya pa.
Paliwanag pa ng aktres, “If I’m in a position like this with a platform, and blessed to have so many people who are following, parang I’d rather not share only selfies, but also inspirational messages and make them smile or laugh. You know, even just the little things.”
Sa tanong kung paano niya ipaliliwanag ang pagiging calendar girl sa mga kabataang sumusuporta sa kanya, “I try to show my most natural self online. For little girls, or anybody who starts following me, I want them to see the non-perfect side of celebrities they see on TV. I showed my struggles. I show myself in my not so glamorous form.
“Whenever I get messages from little girls or any netizen saying that I inspire them to dance, act, and to keep moving forward, it gives me the ‘ganado’ feeling and hope and aspiration to empower more women,” sabi ni Yassi.
