ELIZABETH'S WALL: EVA ESMARIALINO: SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL

Perfect sincerity and transparency make a great part of beauty, as in dewdrops, lakes, and diamonds. ~Henry David Thoreau

If you happen to see her in person, you’ll be smitten or love struck but I am sorry guys she is taken. The first time I saw her in Frontrow Office, I cannot remember the month, I was definitely smitten. She was wearing red t-shirt & denim jeans. No make-up. She is petite, porcelain skin and nice contours on her face. She is simply so beautiful that I cannot take my eyes off her face. I am not a lesbian, I am straight. Like any other women, I admire the beauty of the same sex. If I am a boy, I might be on the long queue courting her but as I said she is taken (peace Paul). I am speaking no less than Eva Esmarialino, the girlfriend of Paul Blanco.

I thought at first that she was snobbish and complacent. She just sat there silently in one corner observing. My first impression was totally wrong. I was wacky with my judgment about her. Never judge a book by its cover. Actually, she was a coy person and I bet she was gaining some momentum to establish rapport and camaraderie with the members of Frontrow. I also discovered that she is beautiful inside and outside, which according to Sophia Loren, the important definition of beauty. You can seldom find beautiful people too with humble heart.

I have the inkling to know bit and pieces about her and put them in nutshell which I guess some close to her who only know her by sheer acquaintance can get a clear picture of her. Time is limited for me since I don’t go much in Frontrow Office except in SM or IT Park for boom.

I grabbed the short moment to talk to her last Thursday. It was hot, humid and muggy afternoon at McDonald IT Park. Paul was around including Winston, Joebert & Marc with some invites, all from Qualfon. There was a loud cacophonous background from other McDo customers. I guess they were happy with their brohahaha. They were shouting most of the time. Nevertheless, I collected some pictures about her personal life and today I am rolling them into one. Jesus, it is hard to be a freelancer. Anyways, no qualms.

Eva was born on July 10, 1989. She is now 22 years old. Still young and robust. She is an HRM graduate at University of the East, Manila. She has 4 siblings. She is the second. All of them are “marias.” Her parents have an adopted son. Did you know that she portrayed a small character in ABS-CBN teleserye “Vietnam Rose?” Vietnam Rose was aired in 2005, the story of Vietnamese girl who was haunted by her past. The dramatic role went to Maricel Soriano. Eva’s dream is to become an artist in Philippine TV or movie industry. Well with her classical beauty, why not. She worked also as product endorser of Mercury. I missed that shot. Because of her great desire to join the showbiz industry, she attempted to have an audition this year for Pinoy Big Brother in Cebu however she was discouraged by Paul and Gester. If she has joined and got lucky, we at Frontrow will give our thousand text votes.

LOVE LIFE

Eva and Paul met in Caloocan High School. Actually, it was an off and on relationship. Then their hearts beat again for each other and up to now they stick together as one. They are sweet couple.

MOST UNFORGETABLE EXPERIENCE:

Eva admitted that she was rebel or “pasaway” to her parents. Due to this rebellion, she and her sister run away from their parents but along the way, they were hold-up and robbed. The robber took their cell phones and bag. Her sister was stabbed. The good thing they are still alive to this moment. Eva realized that what they have done was a great blunder and promised not to hurt their parents anymore.

Her parents have bakery business as a source of income to sustain their education, basic needs and among others. Her father while baking was burned to the 2^nd degree from his waist up to his face. It was horrible ordeal for the family but she was glad that her father survived the difficult times.

These experiences teach her to be stronger and have more faith in God. She believes that God has given us problems, putting us in difficult situation because He knows we can find a way to resolve them.

FRONTROW

Like many others, she hesitates to join Frontrow before. She joined Vision Networking but was not lucky with the venture. Vision was on the verge of bankruptcy when she joined. When she saw Paul’s check earnings, she was convinced to join Frontrow. Frontrow is the bread and butter of Eva and Paul. They are earning more than an employees are receiving. They are both top earners.

Eva lamented too that Frontrow is more about being closer to God and about people.

GREATEST FEAR

Thanatophobia is fear of death. Death was the morbid fear of Eva before. Who is not really afraid to die? Even I, I am scared. She has overcome this phobia when she becomes more closer to God. Life on earth is ephemeral in nature. No one lives forever.

WHAT SHE WANTS TO DO MOST IN LIFE

Eva wants to travel in any places of the world. Feel the beauty of the world and what can it offer best. She also wants to renovate their bakeshop which has been their source of income. She also likes to buy anything she wants and for her family.

THIRD EYE

I told her this is just a borrowed question from Boy Abunda when he interviewed David Foster last October 24, 2011 before DF and Friends concert in Manila. I asked her; “If you happen to have a third eye, where would you like to place it?” She said at the back of her head because she can see people stabbing her at the back.

To trust God, to thank God, no matter big or small is one good insight that I learned from Eva after our small chat. The story of her life may not be detailed but the big thing is her FAITH.
