00:00Just love me. And only me.
00:04Seriously? Thank you, Tito Boy.
00:07Hey, Cosmo! I'm Karina Cantura, your cover star for this month.
00:12And here's another episode of Celebs Answer Fan Questions on Cosmo.
00:16Let's go!
00:22If we peeked inside your beach bag, what would we find?
00:28Sunglasses?
00:30Sunblock spray?
00:33And then lip balm?
00:35And cheek and lip tint?
00:37Because it's a little bit.
00:40What's a beauty hack you swear by that your fans need to know for summer?
00:47Always hydrate.
00:48That's the key.
00:50I've got a beach trip coming up this weekend.
00:53And plus this, my potential boyfriend is found.
00:56Wow!
00:57How do you keep your makeup fresh and cute under that beach?
01:01What are your go-to products for beach?
01:03When it comes to your makeup, I don't usually use concealer.
01:07So I just curl my lashes so I just curl my lashes to clean my eyes.
01:11I use cheek and lip tint and a little bit of powder on top of the sunblock.
01:17Just be confident, I guess, with your body.
01:20That's really important.
01:21What's something you've learned recently about yourself that you've learned recently?
01:25That I am really a patient and understanding person.
01:35And I think...
01:37What's one boundary you're learning to come, whether with your self-care?
01:46Ah!
01:47Sunit-sunot!
01:49My inner peace.
01:52Kasi for me, if na-agitate na or na-bother na yung inner peace ko, I will try to distance myself even though it hurts.
02:08So, important ka talaga sa akin ng inner peace ko.
02:12And I think you should all try that to prioritize your inner peace, your mental health, and your self-worth.
02:21Have some self-respect.
02:24So, here's the thing. I'm 24 now. I've got this job that looks pretty great on paper.
02:34I'm already with it every time.
02:35You're not one of the things you're talking about.
02:37Sorry.
02:39You're not!
02:39You're not one of the things you're talking about.
02:43I'm scrolling through TikTok like I'm living my God's life, but then after tomorrow, I hit a wall.
02:48I feel completely lost, frustrated, and honestly, kindness, and fat.
02:52I'm starting to question everything. How have I achieved it now?
02:55Do you ever feel this way?
02:57And how do you deal with these moments when everything just feels a little less?
03:01Whenever I feel that type of way, I would always pause and think about why I started all of these.
03:12I think we all deserve a rest or a pause sometimes in our lives.
03:17Because, again, like with what I said earlier, you need to take care of yourself, that little girl or the little boy in your heart.
03:26And when you realize your purpose, and that's when you continue, again, it's okay.
03:36It's okay to stop, to pause, or to rest one of these days because we all need it for our peace of mind.
03:45What's the best financial advice you've ever received or wish you have been received?
03:52Save. Save a lot.
03:55How much did that have financial advice?
03:58Okay, Senate President Cheese Escudero.
04:04You gotta save and you gotta be smart when it comes to investing on certain stuff.
04:12What's your most recent budget find and treat yourself spirit?
04:19I don't really splurge that much anymore.
04:23Kasi may pinapagawa akong bahay para sa aking pamilya.
04:27So, andun ako sa saving.
04:30Pigil-pigil muna.
04:32Budget find.
04:33Yung parang hindi ka makapaniwala na,
04:36Oh, ganito lang yun.
04:37Ang umura mo siyang nakita.
04:39Okay, so I was shopping.
04:40Okay, akala ka pa ano?
04:42So, I was shopping in Bloomingdale's in LA.
04:48I thought yung skirt, so 50% off siya.
04:52Akala ka mga nasa 149 na lang siya.
04:55Apparently, nung chin neck out ko na, it's only 38 dollars.
05:03Diba?
05:05Still talaga.
05:07As in, ang ganda pa nung quality.
05:09Tsaka, dun pa siya kinawa sa sale na section.
05:12Kasi tipid-tipid nga.
05:14Pero shopping ka na.
05:16I feel like I'm stuck in this weird tug of war
05:19between wanting to support my parents and also trying to live my life.
05:23I work hard, but my salary is basically going straight to girls and sending money home.
05:29Don't get me wrong, I want to help them.
05:31I really do, but there's this part of me that just
05:34craving for something for myself.
05:36So, every time I try to plan a trip, I end up feeling guilty,
05:40thinking about my parents, and all the responsibilities at home.
05:43How do you find the balance between being there for your family and not sacrificing your family?
05:51Wow.
05:54I can definitely relate to you, girl or boy.
06:00You're already here, who are you?
06:03No, I can definitely relate to you because I myself, I am a breadwinner of family.
06:10And sometimes, when I buy expensive stuff or when I go to trips,
06:17I really feel guilty because instead of trying to travel or buy expensive stuff,
06:26I want to pay for bills, for our food, for the house, etc.
06:31But I don't...
06:34I've learned to not feel guilty as long as I know that my budget is better.
06:46Because I still know my priorities.
06:48And exactly, priorities.
06:51You need to fill your own cup too.
06:55Because they say, how can you love others if you don't love yourself?
07:02So, yeah.
07:04Again, you just got to fill your own cup too.
07:07What's your love language and touching your food?
07:11My love language.
07:13I am, what do you call that, yung touchy?
07:16Physical touch.
07:17Physical touch.
07:18Physical touch talaga ako malala.
07:21And services?
07:23Acts of service.
07:24So, physical touch and acts of service.
07:27Has that changed over time?
07:29Um, I guess so, nadagdagan.
07:33Siguro mas nagkakaroon ako ng effort sa words of affirmation and giving gifts.
07:42Kunti lang, but more of sa actions talaga siya.
07:46What's the outward part?
07:48Where are your parents?
07:50What I want to receive?
07:51What I want to make you feel the love that connects you to me.
07:55You know what, Annie?
07:56Just kahit ano nalang.
07:59Just, just love me and just love me and only me.
08:08Lating in your twenties can be wild.
08:11What's one lesson you learned about affirmation?
08:14Self-respect.
08:16Have some self-respect.
08:19Sa kahit ano mo, parate ng buhay yan.
08:23Have some self-respect.
08:25And it's okay not to be okay.
08:31But at the end of the day, have some self-respect.
08:37Seriosa naman.
08:38Thank you po, tito boy.
08:41And that's it for today.
