Always candid and natural, Beauty Gonzalez amused Vice Ganda with her funny stories about her childhood dreams.
This throwback GGV video opens with Vice describing how rich Beauty is, “Mayaman daw ang pamilya n’yo talaga. Kasi bata pa lang siya, meron siyang mga yaya tapos may security siya. Tapos meron silang hacienda.”
But Beauty only had simple dreams when she was a kid. She wanted to become a nail technician or manicurist. She said it’s because of watching her mom enjoy her nail spa sessions at home. She was fascinated by the delicate process, so she asked her mom to buy her a manicure set, “Tapos ‘yung mga yaya ko, nililinisan ko. Nasusugatan sila, sabi ko, ‘Huwag kang magreklamo. Practice ‘to!’”
She enjoyed the mani-pedi sessions with her nannies until she thought of cleaning their farmers’ toenails. “’Yung taga-araro namin sa farm, sabi ko, ‘Hali ka nga! Bayaran mo akong bente ha lilinisin ko ‘yang paa mo.’ ‘Pag ganun niya, Diyos ko! Alam mo ‘yung luya talaga? Nag-aararo kasi siya.”
She continued, “Binabad ko pa siya sa tubig, ‘di ba ganun ‘yun, para lummabot yung ingrown? Nung tinanggal sa tubig, lalong namaga. Sabi ko, ‘Hala! Hindi na kita lilinisan.’ Tapos sabi ko kay Mama, ‘Ayaw ko na maging manikurista. Gusto ko may sari-sari store.”
So, she moved on to her next dream job, a sari-sari store owner. “Nagbenta ako ng sari-sari sa loob ng bahay. Ito namang mga echoserang yaya ko, utang nang utang! Alam mo ‘yung hindi mo na nabibilang? Sabi ko, lugi ako sa sari-sari ko. Wala, ayoko na mag-sari-sari.”
