Coming home from a very tiring taping of her TV mini-series- “Sana’y Ikaw Na Nga”, actress Rita Avila could always find the “most simple joys” of life…
a hug from her pets…
a caring husband…
a reminding look or glance from ‘someone’…
a doll.
a smile.
a kiss.
a love.
and yes, an inspiration coming from her new book: “Si Ana Tutpik At Si Erik Taba”.
Take a look at these pics…
the very heart of actress Rita Avila’s happiness, contentment and life.
Simple joys… but full of meaning. And full of LOVE.

WORDS FROM MISS RITA AVILA HERSELF:
“AFTER TWO MONTHS OF REST, “SANA’Y IKAW NA NGA” WAS OFFERED BY GMA-7. IT’S AN AFTERNOON SHOW, THE FIRST LEAD ROLE OF MY CO-ACTRESS THERE, MS. ANDREA TORRES. I WORKED WITH HER ON “BLUSANG ITIM” AND SHE HAS ALWAYS EXPRESSED HER DESIRE TO WORK WITH ME AGAIN.
“FUNNY, BECAUSE SHE FIRST TEXTED ME THEN ON MY CELLPHONE, BEARING THE NEWS THAT SHE WILL BE DOING HER FIRST LEAD ROLE… AND SHE SAID- “SANA PO, SA NEXT PROJECT KO, IKAW NA ANG NANAY KO”. I SAID- “YES, IT WILL HAPPEN”. LITTLE DID WE KNOW THAT AFTER A WEEK OF THAT TEXT EXCHANGE, THE TV SOAP WAS OFFERED TO ME!
“I WAS TOLD THAT THE WORK SCHEDULES THERE WOULD BE LIGHT. SO I ASKED MY DOCTOR IF I COULD GO BACK TO WORK. HE SAID THE TWO MONTHS OF REST HAD HELPED IMPROVED MY CONDITION, AND SINCE THE SCHEDULES WERE LIGHT, HE ALLOWED ME.
“GOD IS GREAT, DI BA? HE GAVE ME ANOTHER JOB WHICH WAS PERFECT FOR ME. AND TO ANDREA’S DELIGHT, TOO! I AM PLAYING AS HER MOM WHO STARTED AS A DRUNKARD AND BITTER MOM BUT EVENTUALLY BECAME GOOD.
“WE ARE SO BLESSED, ROBERT! INSTEAD OF 13 WEEKS, WE GOT EXTENDED TO 20 WEEKS AND THE RATINGS WERE GETTING HIGHER EVERY WEEK! I AM HAPPY FOR ANDREA BECAUSE SHE WAITED LONG FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY. DURING “BLUSANG ITIM”, I ALREADY KNEW SHE HAD THE QUALITIES OF A GOOD ACTRESS.
“I GUESS, THAT’S ALL FOR NOW.”

Sa true, ang layo-layo ng agwat in terms of kagalingan rin lang ng mga STYLISTS – ng mga stylists ng ABS-CBN channel 2 keysa doon sa mga stylists ng isang kalabang satellite.
Kung walang ka-”taste-taste” ang style ng mga stylists at mga artista dun sa rival satellite, dito naman sa channel 2, napaka-”sozy” at kay gagaling ng stylists! May class! Pang-Hollywood ang dating!Kaya naman very glam ang dating ng mga artista ng channel 2!
At kaya ulit naman, sarap na sarap kami sa panonood ng teleseryeng WALANG HANGGAN dahil sa nakakadagdag sa kabusugan ng aming mga mata ang magagarang damit at pabolosang style of “fashion sense” ng mga artistang nagsisiganap dito.
Miss Rita Avila, Richard Gomez, Dawn Zulueta, Coco Martin, Miss Helen Gamboa, Miss Susan Roces, Julia Montes, Melissa Ricks, Joem Bascon, Paulo Avelino and others more in the cast do carry the clothes styled on them so well!
Siyempre, credits goes to Miss Patricia Coronado, the show’s main stylist- and the other stylists of this number one teleserye. Talagang nakabantay si Miss Coronado sa pagi-istilo sa mga artista hanggang sa mag-take ‘on’ camera na sila. Alagang-alaga niya at hindi niya basta PINABABAYAAN lang! That’s the true stylist! Maalaga, hindi nang-iiwan sa ere…
Anyway, aside from Patricia, we would also like to credit the other stylists of the show as it is so much of a collaborative effort to come-up with such an artistic sense of fashion and style in this most-watched TV series.
Ms. Coronado style the following artists: Coco Martin, Melissa Ricks, Rita Avila and Richard Gomez.
Eric Pe Benito is the stylist for Dawn Zulueta and Helen Gamboa.
Sidney Yap with Style Assistants, Cher Castro & Gerard Anthony style: Julia Montes, Paulo Avelino and Joem Bascon.
And a Junior Stylist for Miss Susan Roces and the whole show is: Gino Valloyas.
Pero aside from Miss Patricia and the other team of stylists, nariyan din ang mga hairdressers and make-up artists na sina Jett Torrevillas at Jacky Pante na kay gagaling ng kamay para mas pagandahin at mas pabonggahin pa ang look ng mga artista sa nasabing teleserye pa rin.
Nariyang mag-last minute final “tupi-tupi” pa si Pat sa mga manggas ng polo shirts nina Richard, Paulo at Coco. O kaya, i-adjust ang “puwetan” ng pantalon. Hhhhhmmmm…, naka-ilang hawak ng ‘wet-pu’ na kaya ang baklitang babaeng ito???? Hahahaha!!!!
Feel na feel namin sa lahat ang pananamit ni Miss Rita Avila. Bagay na bagay sa kanya ang mga pabolosang dresses and gowns niya sa said teleserye. Yung pagiging very slim and sexy ni Rita, adds so much enhancement to the fabolous dresses!
Si Miss Helen Gamboa naman, talagang aristokrata ang dating ng pananamit.
Si Richard, debonaire na debonaire.
Si Coco, very dignified kung manamit. Si Paulo, dashing! At si Melissa, revealing!
Medyo lumalapad lang sa screen si Miss Dawn Zulueta, dapat siguro’y mag-reduce siya.
Si Miss Susan Roces, ok lang na medyo malapad, it fits her character as a senior character in the said TV series naman, eh. Pero dapat, bigyan din si Ms. Roces ng isang eksenang pabolosa ang mga damit niya, just to redeem herself of being the Queen of Philippine Movies.
Samantala, dapat hubaran naman sa mga future scenes sina Joem Bascon, John Medina at Richard Yap. Pampagana lang… Hehehe.
Anyway, below are the exclusive pictures, taken by Miss Patricia Coronado herself, sa ilang BTS (behind-the-scenes) and ‘on-take’ shots sa fashionable stars ng WALANG HANGGAN!
KUDOS!!!
