Sharon Cuneta's high energy is contagious, even if she only had a few hours of sleep. She constantly cracks jokes. "Babalik ako dito, 'tapos gloves at kuwintas na lang ang isusuot ko kasi payat na 'ko nun!" the Megastar said.

Sharon and cousin Ciara Sotto bring in the sunshine. Their kuwela tandem provides the much-needed comic relief.
