ONLY people close to Coleen Garcia, who would of course, include rumored boyfriend and her It’s Showtime co-host Billy Crawford, know that she can write.
But former classmates at an exclusive school in Parañaque City will always remember that Coleen was editor-in-chief of their school paper.
No wonder that when her time permits, Coleen plans to take up a college course. “Gusto ko ng kursong Communication Arts,” she said. “Actually, had not showbiz hit me, I would have been an ordinary college student.”
Does that mean na nagsisisi si Coleen na part siya ngayon ng showbiz? “Hindi ah,” ang kanyang maliksing sagot. “Para sa akin, God-giving ang pagiging isang showbiz personality ko ngayon kasi this was never a part of my dream.”
It was when she turned commercial model, una, sa isang brand ng pantalon, followed by a cologne, na nagkaroon siya ng offer to join showbiz. “I have to thank Direk Lauren (Dyogi ng ABS CBN).
“Mantakin mo, nakita lang niya ako sa vicinity ng network nang nilapitan niya ako at tinanong kung gusto kong mag-artista. “When I said yes, the next time I know, nasa cast na ako ng isang youth oriented program, Good Vibes.”
No doubt that Coleen enjoys her stint as co-host ng It’s Showtime aired daily (except Sunday) on ABS-CBN. But do you know na may other goal siya which she wants to realize before the year ends?
Yes, Coleen wants to try acting both sa TV at pelikula. “Kasi, I kept wondering how it is to portray a role na ’di ikaw at ’di mo pa nararanasan sa tunay na buhay,” pahayag pa niya.
By the way, totoo kaya ang usap-usapan na at one time, when both of them were not yet in showbiz, naging mag-on sina Coleen at Enrique Gil?
Well, obvious na coincidental lang na magka-apelyido sina Nikki, naging ex-GF ni Billy, Coleen’s reported current one and only, and Enrique.
