Heart Evangelista on getting pregnant again: 'It will happen when it happens'
Kapuso fashion darling Heart Evangelista opened up to members of the media on Thursday about her plans on getting pregnant again after suffering a miscarriage last June.
"I don't really question. Right now, when it comes to having or planning to have a baby again, it will happen when it happens," Heart told the press during a pocket press conference.
Heart said she's learned how to let go and not plan every detail of her life.
"I don't want to super plan my life anymore. I mean, I plan my life. I have goals, more or less my timetable. But what happened to me, I just realized that at the end of the day, plans pa rin ni God ang matutuloy," Heart said.
2018 is Heart's roller coaster year
Heart narrated how God filled her life with happy moments after her miscarriage. In fact, Heart said there were more happy moments than sad ones that she feels grateful.
"You know for my 2018, it was really a roller coaster for me. There was something bad that happened that I feel that God really gave me more good moments than really low ones. It's not that I [don't] suffer or anything, I feel like it would just be a sin if I complain so that's why I'm just very grateful. I never question God with what happened in 2018."
She said 2018 is a year where she's starting to see "the beginning of the seeds that I planted in the past, so hopefully 2019 movie is harvest time for us."
Suffering through depression
Heart said she almost thought she wouldn't "be able to snap out of it for a time, because I guess you know, you can't have it all, because really the things that you go through [are meant] to build your character."
She continued, "I do work very, very hard but when I put something on my list I'm kind of used to getting what I aimed for. I didn't really expect that, but again I don't question, parang I feel naman na grabe 'yong binalik sa 'kin ni Lord and nagkaron tuloy ako ng dalawang angel."
For Heart being in the limelight didn't help her when she was suffering through depression, she said it was the first time for a long time when every bad thing people told her about her baby and herself has affected her.
"Being in showbiz didn't really make it easy for me. I did even realize that was even a factor of my depression but it was because for the first time in my life, after a really long time, every single word that was said against my baby and against me really hit me. My heart was bleeding every time they said something bad and it was very heartbreaking but I became stronger and I feel like I can face anything.
Being an inspiration to fellow moms
Heart said it was fellow moms who went through the same who inspired and comforted her during the toughest time of her life.
"They inspired me actually, I didn't know how to talk about it, everyone that was messaging me on Instagram who were moms, who have gone through even worse, they were very very you know inspiring and they really comforted me when I was going through that stage," she said.
Despite being not a hundred percent ready to talk about it, she said she did it anyway to return the favor and inspire and comfort mothers who are also going through it.
"I guess it was also me in a way, I haven't really fully spoken and I feel like I could do more. Maybe I'm not a 95% ready to talk about it yet, but I'm just returning the favor for whoever else is going through the same thing," Heart said.
Senator Chiz Escudero as her strong pillar
Heart said she only saw her husband Senator Chiz Escudero's sadness twice after the incident.
"He was very, very strong," Heart began describing her husband. "Si Chiz, actually the whole time, dalawang beses ko lang siyang nakitaan ng sadness. Nung sinabi na walang heartbeat, nabitwan niya 'yong phone niya. So medyo, doon naawa ako because for him to show a little bit, that means he was very bothered. And then the other one was when he thought I was sleeping, pagbaba ko umiinom siya ng beer sa sala, pulang pula 'yong mata niya, siguro umiiyak siya nung time na 'yon. But dalawang beses lang 'yon."
Heart revealed that Senator Chiz served as one of her strongest pillars, pushing her to get back on her feet.
"He was very very, he was one of my strong pillars. He really did keep me sane in a way. He encouraged me to get out of the house, he pushed me to go back to work because parang that's time I must admit I really felt I was in Tagalog wala akong kuwenta," she said. — LA, GMA News
