Jennylyn Mercado loves to shop, but she's not in the habit of buying luxury items. "Hindi ako bibili dahil ginusto ko magkaroon or gusto ko lang na ipakita na meron akong ganito," she says.
No matter how busy she gets, Jennylyn Mercado manages to squeeze in some "me time" to de-stress and recharge.
How? Two simple things: listening to music and going to the mall.
The Kapuso actress revealed all that to PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) during her Headliner shoot at the Cocoon Boutique Hotel in Quezon City.
Jennylyn opened up, "Magpe-play na ako ng music, maya-maya okay na ako.
Mapapasayaw na ako, masaya na ako."
But her much preferred way to recharge—a stroll in the mall.
"Ewan ko, kayo rin ba parang ganon? Â
"Iyong maglalakad ka lang sa mall, pagkauwi mo, okay na?
"Happy ka na kahit hindi ka nag-shopping?
"Mahilig ako maglakad sa mall. Window shopping, ganyan.
"Parang therapy siya para sa akin. Okay na ako pagkauwi ko."
Sometimes, after a very tiring day, Jennylyn said she would buy herself something as a reward.
"Iyong, 'Hay, kailangan ko mag-shopping. Deserve ko mag-shop ngayon kasi napagod ako!'
"Iyong parang pampasaya lang, para lang prize ko sa sarili ko."
But Jennylyn said she isn't the type to splurge on luxury items even if she can afford.
"Hindi, e. Well, usually may nagreregalo, pero iyon lang.
Hindi iyong bibili ako dahil ginusto ko na magkaroon nito.
"Or gusto ko lang na ipakita na meron akong ganito.
"Hindi masyado."
