Tremendous is how Carla Abellana and Tom Rodriguez describe their two-week old marriage.
The two exchange “I do’s” last October 23 in Batangas, rememeber?
They have been together for years, but, they now both say, “Iba rin pala kapag kasal na kayo.”
Their next move is to have a baby. They are both ready to have one. Or two.
“Sana God will grant our wish,” they both said.
They have been both busy before their wedding. Carla has the drama, “To Have and To Hold” with Rocco Narino and Max Collins, with Don Michael Perez at the helm. Tom has the primetime soap, “The World Between Us,” with Alden Richards and Jasmine Curtis Smith.

Alden Richards promised his dad that he would make time to enroll in a home study program, even when he begins work on his project with Bea Alonzo.
The actor revealed that it’s always been his father’s dream to see him earn a diploma.
Alden is thinking of taking up Business Administration.
“For a start, one or two subjects every other day will do,” he said. “And do it, I will.”
Showbiz was his mother’s dream. Being the dutiful son, he obeyed her.
“May sakit na kasi siya noon,” Alden said. “At dream niya sanang samahan ako sa shooting. O, taping. Pero nagkasakit nga siya. Kaya napanood na lang niya ako sa TV.”

Is it true that Julia Barreto did not even acknowledge her father, Dennis Padilla, when he sent his congratulatory greeting for the success of her new business venture, the Juju Club?
Julia recently had a successful launch of her online shop, which sells hair clips, shades, bucket hats, rings and other accessories.
We wonder if this is true and that the alleged reason is she cannot forgive him. Bakit kaya hindi niya mapatawad ang kanyang ama? We sincerely want to know the reason.
Everyone knows that Dennis and Marjorie Barretto, Julia’s mom, have long been separated.
He now has a new family. Marjorie has also moved on.
Julia is now happily in love with actor Gerald Anderson, whom she has yet to introduce to Dennis.
“Obviously, para walang gulo,” said a kibitzer, “ayaw makialam ni Gerald.”
