"Singing and acting have been a part of who I am since I started at the age of 10," ani Lea. "Those are two things that I have passion for. I do miss making movies and when the right project comes along, why wouldn't I take part of it?

"It's nice to experiment once in a while and I do like to take that plunge, not just in theater but on TV and movies as well. I'm very open to that and someday, who knows, I might be acting again on the big screen. We can never tell."

MOTHER & WIFE. Tungkol naman sa kanyang personal life, happy si Lea sa kanyang pamilya. Gusto na ngang sundan ni Lea at ng mister niyang si Robert Chien ang anak nilang si Nicole Beverly, who will be turning four sa May. Pero mukhang mauudlot ang plano na magbuntis si Lea this year dahil sisimulan na nga niya ang Cats at naka-book na rin siya ng maraming trabaho hanggang early part ng 2011.

"I wish I could get pregnant before I turn 40. But it's really so impossible because I already have work until 2011. We've been talking about it and we feel that it's already time that Nicole have a brother or a sister. But then things came in and we don't want to lose the opportunity. So the next baby has to wait for a while," ngiti pa ni Lea, who will turn 39 on February 22..

Very hands-on nga raw si Lea pati na ang mister nito sa pag-aalaga sa kanilang anak. Kaya naman nababantayan nila ang paglaki ni Nicole at ang mga bagong nagagawa nito.

"Nicole is a very nice and happy child. She loves to sing, dance, and do what other kids her age do. Robert and I see to it that we don't miss a thing that Nicole does. It's in those moments that you appreciate being a parent. You don't want to miss anything and you always want to be there for your kids.

"That's why I always pray for strength. Right now, things are okay. We're all healthy and I know when the time comes that a new baby comes along, I'm still up and going. Just like the way I was when my first baby was born," sabi ni Lea.
