00:00Okay, Ms. Alexi,
00:02isa sa mga comments, or
00:03sa mga comments na madalas nang papadaan
00:06sa akin kapag nasascroll ako ng
00:07social media, is
00:09yung kung paano ka nag-experiment
00:11with your looks. Parang
00:13ang daming kumwestiyon din. Parang
00:15bakit siya nag-long hair? Ba't siya
00:17ganito? Ba't siya ganyan? Dapat palitan ni
00:19ganito ang kanyang stylist. May mga ganon
00:21silang comments. Anong masasabi mo dun,
00:23Ms. Alexi?
00:25I think kasi like, you know what, kasi nga
00:27parang entertainer na din
00:29kasi yung trabaho namin. So we put ourselves
00:31in a place or position that
00:33people are being able to judge us
00:35for whatever we're doing. And as someone who's
00:37welcome with opinions nga,
00:39I feel like those were the comments I received
00:41since my last national pageant.
00:43Since siguro then, I wanted to explore
00:45so much. There were so many things I wanted
00:47to do but I couldn't given of
00:49siguro may mga teams ka rin na were
00:51scared of trying to do something. I think that's what
00:53different this time around. Kasi nga Ms. Grant.
00:55And in Ms. Grant, it's known for
00:58Pasabog. So you can't just,
00:59I mean, depende sa'yo if you want to stay
01:01whatever the branding that you
01:03are, kung gusto mong yun lang, that is on you.
01:05For me naman, sabi ko kasi ito na yun eh,
01:07Ms. Grant eh, they want baklaan eh, they want to
01:09see something new all the time.
01:11And I think ito, dito ako sa stage ng life ko
01:13ngayon na I wanted to show to people na marami
01:15akong pwedeng magawa. And I could be like,
01:17parang alam mo yung camellion, like pag ganito,
01:19kaya niya palang maganyan. So I feel
01:21like I spoke to the rest of the team. We have
01:23a very stylist. We have a lot of makeup
01:25artists and stylists and so many people in the
01:27team. And I asked them, sabi ko, kaya ba natin?
01:29I know that the time, very short lang siya.
01:31Pero kaya bang, we can do
01:33let's say, twice a week
01:35ganitong look. And then maybe the next week,
01:37balik tayo sa ganito. Just so, dun pa rin
01:39yung brand na Alexi Brooks, the short hair,
01:41the androgynous look. But I wanted to show
01:43to people na marami akong pwedeng
01:45magawang style or magawang look
01:47na mabango,
01:49like mapango siya makita. Or like,
01:51maninibago sila when they see me doing
01:52that. And I'm very happy na somehow
01:54na-pull off namin most of those look.
01:56Actually, one of my struggle noon
01:58is yung nag-shoot kami kay Sir Jojo ng
02:00swimsuit na umuulan. Kasi I wanted
02:02to use my short hair sana talaga,
02:04this hair. But the problem is with my
02:06hair kasi pag nabasa, babagsak siya.
02:08So nangyari na wig kami ng long hair.
02:11Tapos, may nabasa
02:12kasi akong comment doon na ang pangit
02:14daw ng hair. So parang sabi ko, oh my god,
02:16I hope malaman nila na
02:18ang hirap ng option for me
02:20at this time. Kasi nga pag nag-short hair,
02:22akong pangit tignan. Kasi bagsak lahat
02:23sa mukha. So I feel like the safest
02:26option for me that time was to wear
02:27the wig. But I think overall,
02:29the experimenting with the style
02:32and look is something na I'm happy
02:34na ginawa namin. Para at least pag
02:35nag-all stars, hindi naman ibago
02:37yung tao if I wanted to explore more
02:39on different looks or different vibes.
02:41Pero ako, I'm happy. Nag-enjoy ako.
02:43So.
