Carla in Abt Ur Luv - Epi 21

Episode Title: Patak-Patak Tuesday

This blog entry contains episode highlights related to Carla's character, Brenda.

---

The barkada works together to raise money to replace the stolen van. The guys are washing cars, while Neri and Gens are joining a dance competition. The others hold a yard sale and sell food and baked goods.

Brenda is in the living room, rushing to put her things together. She asks why Hillary and Josh didn't wake her earlier. Hillary explains that she was distracted preparing food to sell as part of their fundraising.

Brenda finishes straightening out her things, and rushes out of the house just as Neri and Gens arrive.

---

Brenda arrives at an art class, to find her students already all there waiting. She apologizes for being late and starts instructing her students to get their pencils and erasers out. She is still giving out instructions when she notices that Celine is sitting at the far end of the class.

She sits down looking at her table, and looks uncertainly at Celine.

----

Later, Brenda goes around the class and compliments the work of her students one by one. Celine tries to show Brenda her work and asks for feedback. Brenda tries to ignore her, but Celine insists on getting Brenda's attention.

Brenda finally takes Celine's sketchpad and asks the class for their feedback. They all laugh at Celine's drawing.

Discouraged but not ready to give up, Celine asks Brenda to explain to her how she can improve her drawing. When Brenda says it can't be improved anymore, Celine flips the page on her sketchpad and says she can start on a new page, on a clean slate.

Brenda quietly tells her that it's not going to happen (it's obvious they are both now talking about their friendship and not the drawing). When Celine insists that nothing is impossible, Brenda challenges her to draw better than one of the other students.

----

Brenda is at an exhibit of her student's art works when Celine arrives with a new drawing. She shows it to Brenda, who reluctantly admits that it's a good drawing. She asks Celine if she's really the one who drew it. She asks Celine not to lie to her, because she knows that Celine can't even draw a straight line. Celine admits that Web drew it for her.

Brenda quietly tells Celine that she appreciates her effort, but that this doesn't change anything because they can't be friends anymore. Her trust has been broken. Celine walks away in tears.

----

At the end of the day, Brenda takes down the drawings from the exhibit, including Celine's drawing. She stares at it for a moment, before she takes out her phone, and smiles. She turns off the lights of the exhibit area and leaves with Celine's drawing.

Later that night, everyone is together at one of the neighborhood hangouts. Neri and Gens are no longer participating in the dance competition, but Gens says there's no reason why they shouldn't perform after all their practices.

Neri notices that everyone except Celine is there, and calls to check on her. Celine is lying in bed when she answers her cellphone. She asks Neri if Brenda is there, and says she's sure Brenda won't want to see her anyway. Neri hangs up the phone, but she's determined that things will work out in the end because she believes friendship will prevail.

Gens calls everyone's attention and they start performing, much to everyone's enjoyment.

CARLA Humphries says she’s not sure if Victor Basa, who’s paired with her in the Saturday afternoon show "Abt Ur Luv," is wooing her, so we ask Victor directly if he’s courting her. “No, hindi pa,” he says. “If I’d be given the chance, gusto ko sana. But I can see Carla is so focused on her career and takot din ako sa rejection. Siguro mas mabuti if we become good friends muna.”

What is he looking for in a woman? “I want women who are witty and interested in a lot of other things.”

Does Carla qualify? “I think so.”

Carla Avoids Questions about Ex

"Please, huwag na nating pag-usapan si Janus del Prado," request ni Carla Humphries during a special press con for her and Star Magic Presents: Abt Ur Luv partner na si Victor Basa sa ABS-CBN compound.

More than a year na since nag-split sina Carla and Janus. At that time, hindi nga nila nito naamin nang official, causing a rift between Carla and Janus's sister, PEP contributor Pilar Mateo.

"Hindi ko po kasi alam kung paanong sumagot noon kapag tinatanong ng press kung kami ba o hindi, dahil may orders po sa amin not to make a big deal out of this," sagot ni Carla.

"Hindi ko po alam na inaamin na pala ni Janus ang relation namin at ako naman, non-committal so nagkaroon ng miscommunication," aniya pa.

But again, that was a year ago.

Kung maari raw, hindi na sana natatanong sa kaniya si Janus dahil matagal na rin silang walang communication. Baka isipin din daw kasi ng mga tao, ginagamit niya pa ang ex niya para may mapag-usapan lang about her.

Sa ngayon, single si Carla. May bonding na nabubuo sa kanila ni Victor. Pero sinabi niyang hindi pa siya nililigawan ng kaniyang partner. As of now, they are enjoying their blessed singleness dahil single din ngayon si Victor and their deep friendship in their series na on its second season na.

Kasama rin si Carla sa Regine Velasquez-Piolo Pascual movie ng Star Cinema. Her last movie was D' Lucky Ones kung saan si Janus ang partner niya that time.

THE ratings of ‘Abt Ur Luv’ in its second season continues to go up. And why not? Its lovable young stars are endearing themselves to more fans.

One of the most engaging love stories in the show is that of Carla Humphries and Victor Basa. Victor is Stick, a gym instructor, and Carla is Brenda, an organized girl who falls in love with him. In the first season, they went steady and everything is okay until Brenda sees Stick kissing her best friend, Celine (Denise Laurel). Brenda got mad but still tried to save their relationship.

In the second season, they have decided to call it quits. Is there hope for them to reconcile or at least still be friends?

We got to interview Carla and asked her if her off cam relationship with Denise was really affected by their rivalry over Victor? “No, we remain the best of friends,” she says. “Last Holy Week, she invited me to spend it in their beach house in Matabungkay with her family. It was the first time I didn’t spend Holy Week with my own family and I enjoyed it kasi kami-kaming nagluluto, e I enjoy cooking.”

Is Victor really wooing her off cam? “I don’t know. I don’t want to jump to conclusions naman. But last Holy Week, he surprised me at dinalaw ako kina Denise. Tapos, when I say I’ll buy popcorn, uunahan na niya ako and buy some for me. Even with Janus (Del Prado, her first boyfriend), hindi ko alam na nililigawan na pala niya ako. He just talked to my mom at sinabing he’s courting me.”

Janus said he felt so hurt when she ended their relationship. He locked himself up in his room for weeks and got drunk. “I’m sorry kung nasaktan ko siya. I just want time to heal everything so we’ll be comfortable with each other again. But I heard some weeks lang after we broke up, may bago na siyang girlfriend. Ako nga, wala pa.”

Carla impressed viewers with her fine acting as Angelika de la Cruz’s younger sister in “Bituing Walang Ningning.” “I’m hoping mabigyan sana uli ako ng bagong soap. As of now, I’m in the movie ‘Sana Ay Ikaw Na’ of Piolo Pascual and Regine Velasquez. Mark Bautista and I play Piolo’s friends in it.”

Meantime, she’s enjoying "Abt Ur Luv" which is aired Saturdays at 4 p.m. “Masaya kami lagi sa set and we’ve all become good friends ng other cast members.”

This Saturday’s episode, “Patak Patak Tuesday” shows the effects of a carnapping-holdup that the teens experienced have on them. It teaches them the meaning of responsibility, honesty, and the value of money as they embark on various projects to generate funds and recover their losses.

“HUWAG na nating pagusapan si Janus (del Prado),” say ni Carla Humphries tungkol sa kanyang ex- boyfriend.

Second season na ang Star Magic Presents: Abt Ur Luv sa ABS and there is a possibility of a third season dahil sa positive feedback. Sa said Saturday teen show ng ABS nabuo ang tambalang Carla and Victor Basa as Brenda and Stick. Kung wala pang nangyayari sa dalawa in real life, sa show, pagkarami-rami na nag split na nga sila sa show.

Carla and Victor are both very much single. Ayaw pa ulit ni Carla na magka-relasyon. As is nga, hanggang ngayon, kahit more than a year na raw na break sila ni Janus, yun pa rin palagi ang tinatanong sa kaniya so nagri-request siya enough na raw sana ang subject about Janus dahil matagal na silang wala and hindi na siya updated sa nangyayari sa ex niya.

Kung bakit kasi ayaw pang manligaw ni Victor eh. Hmp!

Carla in Abt Ur Luv -- Epi 20

Episode Title: Saturday Takutan

This blog entry contains episode highlights related to Carla's character, Brenda.

Everyone's finally back on the road and heading home again.

Stick is driving one of the vans and they decide they'd like to stop for something to eat. Bill, who is driving the other van, decides to just keep driving since they're only 30 minutes away from home.

The two vans are separated when Bill makes a turn and Gens loses signal on the cellphone that Mao lent him. The two groups try to call each other, but are not able to get through.

The van driven by Bill arrive home soon after. Everyone alights from the van, happy to be back home: Gzel, Bill, Hillary, Lieu, Gwen, Mao, Nelle, Ahmad, Brenda, and Yaya Ciana. Brenda says goodnight to everyone and enters her home, while the rest go to look for something to eat.

Later that evening, Brenda is sitting in the living room at home, leafing through a magazine when she finds a photo of herself and Celine inserted in the pages. She is about to tear the photo in half when Hillary enters and stops her and takes the photo from her.

Brenda asks her to throw it away, but Hillary says it would be such a waste.

Hillary sits down and tells Brenda she got the impression that her sister had already given up Stick when she let Celine ride in the same van with him.

Brenda admits that she has given him up, but explains to Hillary that it doesn't mean she wants Celine as a friend again. She quietly says she doesn't even want to see Celine again, nor does she want to keep Celine's photo. She asks Hillary again to throw the photo away.

Hillary sadly gets up and leaves the living room. Alone, Brenda stares off into space as she cries silent tears.
