Sheena Halili looks back at years of being 'jowable' but single
To all the girls who are "jowable" but have no jowa, Sheena Halili feels you!
In an Instagram post, the actress said she spent more years alone than with someone, specifically her fiance Jeron Manzanero.
As she plans her wedding, Sheena couldn't help but remember the days that she felt that she would grow old alone, wondering why she hasn't found The One yet.
"Maiba ako, alam niyo bang sa ilang taon kong nabubuhay dito sa earth eh mas maraming araw na, ako lang? As in ako lang! Single! Feeling tatandang dalaga! At naiinip narin bakit wala pa siya?!" she said in her post.
She explained that she has always been careful about who she opened up to, firmly believing that she deserves the best.
"Ako kasi yung babaeng mapili, maingat, ayoko yung kung sino sino ung nakaka-date at nakakausap. Kung sino sino nakakatext. At pag sa relasyon naman pag may mali at may non-negotiables ako na nangyayari, kaya kong umalis, I mean kinakaya kong umexit! May mga maling desisyon ako pero di ko kinalimutan na 'I deserve the best," she said.
But she wasn't discouraged — Sheena said she spent those years strengthening her relationship with God.
Still, she prayed for her "Mr. Future Husband," and said she will wait for God's perfect gift.
"'Yun rin ang motivation ko madalas pag nag dadasal ako. Sa lahat ng bundok na inakyat ko isa si Mr. Right sa hinihingi ko. Feeling ko isa ako sa perfect example ng JOWABLE noon," she said.
Sheena seems to be making a reference about the film "Jowable," which hit theaters last September.
Now, the 32-year-old actress said that she is looking forward to starting a new chapter in her life as she prepares to tie the knot with Jeron.
She also has a message for her past self, and the single girls out there who fear they won't find the person for them.
"How I love my life now, Lord. Thank you, Sheena at nagpakatatag, naging matapang ka at naghintay. Mamimiss ko rin ito. Pero excited na ako sa next chapter ng buhay ko! GAME!" she said.
"Sa mga single diyan na tulad kong feeling mo naman pretty ka inside and out pero nganga! Relax ka lang, darating din siya! ME TIME ka muna, kasi di mo na mababalikan yan pag nag-asawa kana!" she added.
