London is one of the most expensive cities in terms of cost of living. But thankfully, Bela said, she has always been mindful of how she spends her money.
“I was affected… People were able to make a decision without meeting the people whose lives they were changing forever. I felt that if we couldn’t be protected on a basic scale, it didn’t feel safe. I wanted to find a place where I could be completely safe, where they don’t pull the rug under you and say, ‘Sorry, wala ka nang trabaho,’” she related.
“I work out every day, I eat clean, I don’t smoke and I no longer drink. But I have noticed it has been getting harder for me to lose weight. Turns out, I have hypothyroidism… As we mature, we have to be more mindful about our intake. I’m careful with my diet not only to make myself look aesthetically good, but to also improve the quality of my life,” she said.The 32-year-old actress also stressed the importance of self-care.“You have to take care of yourself to be able to take care of others.
“Nothing speaks to me yet… Because of the pandemic, we have lost a lot of time and loved ones. And I don’t want to invest time on a project that won’t help anyone, or that I can’t learn from. I don’t want to sound snobbish, but that’s my thinking at the moment,” she said.Is it hard juggling life in the UK and career in the Philippines? Thanks to technology, her situation has become manageable.
