Get to know more about Precious Adona

The covergirl of FHM May 2008 issue Precious Adona has a lot of things to offer. She’s sexy, she got talents and she’s HOT!

The 23-year old “Be Bench” finalist will be soon launched in the upcoming movie with a title “Torotot” with Maui Taylor and Baron Geisler.

Precious stands 5’7”, weighs 117 lbs., measures 36-26-36, and born on Aug. 22.

Here’s Ricky Lo’s interview with Precious for Funfare:

How did you prepare for the FHM pictorial?

“I didn’t eat for three days; I was taking only vitamins (Centrum and Vitamin C). I’ve gotten used to a starvation diet since I started modeling. I weighed only 98 lbs. then. Before a show, I would eat only crackers, water or tea, and food supplements. Even if it was my birthday or noche buena, I would resist the temptation to eat.”

How long did the pictorial take?

“Very fast. One hour. Putting on the bronze makeup took even longer, more than three hours.”

And how did you prepare for your love scenes in Torotot?

“Maui and I switched roles at the last minute, so I had to reread the script. It helped that during the Be Bench competition, we were made to undergo an acting workshop by Mr. (Deo) Endrinal (an ABS-CBN executive).”

Otherwise, what’s your regular diet?

“I usually eat only when I’m hungry, unlike most people who eat three meals a day. I eat a little of everything. I’m carnivorous. I love lechon and Japanese food. But I don’t eat fruits. Vegetables, yes. My favorites are ampalaya, saluyot and alokbati.”

How often do you work out?

“I work out thrice a week at the Gold’s Gym (Robinsons Galleria), one hour on the treadmill per session. Then I do a hundred sit-ups for my abs. I am also into sports. I play frisbee every Monday and, when my schedule permits, I wakeboard.”

What part of your body is your favorite?

“My face…my whole face. It’s not perfect but I’m sure it’s very expressive. Just by looking at my face, you will know if I’m mad, if I’m sad, if I’m happy, if I’m impressed, if I’m disappointed or if I’m depressed.”

What part do you think needs improvement?

“My arms and my lips. I broke my lips during an accident. I was wearing braces then and my face hit the ground. The brace pierced the inside of my mouth and cut my upper lip. I’m saving money to have it corrected.”

And what part is the most vulnerable?

“My eyes. When I’m tired, hindi pantay ang vision ko. I have to look sideways if, for example, I am watching a movie. It’s weird!”

What part of a man’s body do you look at first?

“His totality…the way he carries himself.”

What else turns you on?

“I like smart guys, ‘yung may laman ang sinasabi. Ayoko ng air heads. I like guys with a great smile and who smell really good.”

And what turns you off?

“Guys who smell awful. Yuck! And those who don’t speak good English. I’m not saying that I speak very good English or that my grammar is perfect. I just like a guy who can articulate his ideas in good English.”

Since you are busy with Torotot and Magdusa Ka, and your schedule is erratic, do you get enough sleep?

“Not enough. I am insomniac, you know. I became one while working the graveyard shift at a call center. Even if I sleep very late, I still wake up at 8 a.m. Two hours are good enough for me. While the whole world is asleep, I’m wide awake watching DVDs; I’m watching the whole Star Wars series. Or I’m reading a book. I’m now reading Confessions of a Shopaholic.”

Are you a pillow person?

“Oh yes, I am. I sleep with five pillows — a long one under my head, two small ones on both sides of my face, a bigger one on my side and one between my thighs.”

Do you snore?

“I wouldn’t know. How can I tell if I’m asleep?”

Do you talk in your sleep?

“They say that I do.”

Do you sleepwalk?

“I hope not!”

What’s the last thing that you do before you go to sleep?

“I pray.”

And the first thing that you do when you wake up?

“I brush my teeth.”

How do you deal with fresh guys?

“Surprisingly, they don’t irritate me; in fact, I feel flattered. Even if they make unflattering remarks, it means that they notice me. I apply negative psychology on them. I smile at them. It works! After I came out in FHM, I got a lot of such remarks in the Google. I don’t mind them. I take them as a challenge for me to do better, to improve myself.”

What’s your favorite fantasy — you know, who do you like to be stranded on an island with?

“My boyfriend; he’s not from showbiz, he used to work in New York. We started going steady only two months ago, so I would love to know him better na kaming dalawa lang sa isang island.”

Any role model?

“Yes, si Miss Maricel Soriano. She’s a versatile actress. When it comes to figure, si Alessandra Ambrosio, a Victoria’s Secret model.”

What’s your outlook in life?

“Have you read The Secret, or watched its DVD version? It has improved my outlook in life. It has taught me positive thinking.”

How do you cope with stress?

“I listen to music, especially R&B and Christian songs.”

How do you take care of your skin?

“I love my color, kayumanggi; I love being in the sun. Brown is beautiful, so I don’t know why women with dark skin want to be white.”

Name three men you think have nice bodies.

“Piolo Pascual. Sam Milby. Zanjoe Marudo (who looked better with the long hair during his modeling days).”

And three women…

“Alessandra Ambrosio. RR Enriquez (Willie Revillame’s Wowowee co-host). Angel Locsin.”

Using only body language, how would you make a guy know that you admire him?

“I stare at him. If he looks at me, I smile at him. If he approaches me, I will introduce myself and offer him a drink.”
