Kapuso couple Barbie Forteza and Jak Roberto reminisce about the memories from their first date in their latest YouTube vlog.
Kapuso couple Barbie Forteza and Jak Roberto took a trip down memory lane in their latest mukbang vlog where they talked about their first date.
According to Barbie, their first official date was actually supposed to be a group hang with a couple of their friends. However, everyone else canceled on them which forced both her and Jak to spend the day with just each other.
It was also in that “accidental” first date where Barbie grew feelings for her significant other.
“‘Nung unang labas namin na ‘yung first date namin, doon lang ako na-fall sa kaniya.
“Pero ‘yung prior to that, ‘yung mga taping namin, ‘nung lumabas kami with a group one time, wala pa ‘yon tropang-tropa lang. ‘Yung first date lang namin.
“Kasi doon ko siya kumbaga walang kahati sa atensyon ko. ‘Yung atensyon ko talaga nasa kaniya lang.
“So nakita ko talaga kung anong klase siyang lalaki na kalog, pilyo, ganyan, pero gentleman, very maalaga, maalalahanin. Tsaka lang ako na-fall,” said Barbie.
As for Jak, he shared that he already had a crush on Barbie when they first worked together years back. However, he didn’t want to court Barbie back then because he didn’t want to ruin the friendship they had.
“‘Nung ano pa lang, after ‘nung Maynila, nagka-crush na ‘ko sa ‘yo. Nagusutuhan kita ‘nung nagkakatrabaho na tayo sa Sunday All Stars tapos sa [The] Half Sisters.
“Sa mga guesting nagkikita na tayo pero ‘pag nakikita kita ‘Uy si Barbie.’
“Pero hindi like parang jojowain, parang suntok sa buwan para sa ‘kin.
“‘Pag nakikita lang kita, gusto na lang i-retain ‘yung pagiging friends.
“Pero alam mo ‘yon, kung may chance, talagang iga-grab ko ‘yon,” Jak revealed.
Barbie added that she felt a rollercoaster of emotions on her first date with Jak when they watched three movies together.
“To be honest, ‘nung nagra-ramen tayo ‘nung kumakain tayo ng lunch, tropa ‘yon.
“‘Nung nanood tayo ng unang sine, tropa ‘yon.
“‘Nung dinala mo ako sa shake shop sa mall, nag-picture tayo ‘di ba? Tapos pinost ko. To be honest, pinost ko ‘yon kasi si Andoy (Jak’s character in Meant To Be) torpe ‘di ba? So nilagay ko, ”Di na siya torpe.’
“‘Nung nanood tayo ng pangalawang sine, tropa pa din ‘yon.
“Pero ‘nung nagkape tayo, ‘di ba pinayagan tayo na mag-stay doon sa parang hindi doon sa madaming tao so nagkaroon kami ng moment alone na kami lang. Although may tao pa rin sa paligid, pero mas nakahiwalay.
“Nagkakape kami tapos doon talaga kami nakapag-usap. Doon ko na-realize na very ano siya, very Pinoy, very old-school. Talagang Promdi.
“Tapos nagkaroon din kami ng quiet moment na na-realize ko na ‘yun ‘yung date ko na nagkaroon ako ng quiet moment with a guy na hindi ako na-awkward. Pwede kaming magdaldalan together tapos pwede rin kaming maging tahimik together na walang awkwardness, hindi weird.
“Siguro naubusan kami ng pag-uusapan pero para sa ‘kin, hindi ako na-rattle na ‘Luh ang tahimik, ano bang pwedeng i-open na topic? Pa’no ba para ma-entertain siya.’
“Kaya ‘nung pinost ko na ‘yung kamay mo na nakahawak doon sa isang kape, ‘yon meron na. Pero hindi like todo, mayroon ng chances of winning,” shared Barbie.
By their third movie, Barbie was expecting Jak to make a move on her.
