    What you see is what you got! LyNne C. Villanueva

    Sexy mom-Lynne C. Villanueva

    Transparency is the distinctive qualities you will find with sexy mom LYNNE, born august 27, 1958 from Taal, Batangas. Married for thirty-five years to Rolly (Govs ) Villanueva and blessed with five children. At sweet sixteen she eloped with her hubby who is nine years older. A typical story of mom send a daughter to buy suka (vinegar), along the way was lost, night fell, terrified to come home and her prince charming came to rescue her and live happily ever after. Bow! woot…woot..

    But that was only the beginning of a love story that surpasses the time…She was only eighteen when she had her first baby girl born, no wonder Lynne still looks like an elder sister to her only daughter who is equally stunning in beauty. Three children were born in Philippines and two in Jeddah.

    How was it, being married at an early age?

    FREEDOM! I came from a very conservative family, imagine those days when you are all guarded. (home-school-church-home) Being married is my ticket to freedom; Rolly was twenty-five then, intelligent and responsible man. I have difficulties but because I have a lot of family support, they made it a bit easy for me.

    What about school? Did you go to college?

    Yes, I am a graduate of BS mathematics (UE), in between my pregnancy, I tried to focus, a lot of struggles but I was determine to graduate and I did it.

    Well done! There’s no regret then?

    Oh no! I just wished I married later (of course with the same man) I really wanted to be a Lawyer,but with five children? I cannot.

    In what year did you come to Jeddah?

    I started visiting Jeddah from 1984 to 1986 and we decided to stay on from 1988 until the present.

    lovely @53

    What is the best thing in Jeddah?

    Family bonding! We have plenty of time to be together.

    You live in a nice compound (Arabian homes) did you work?

    Yes, I only work in the morning (4hrs.) but it’s been one and half-year now that I am not working.

    Do you feel bored? What is your past time? Majhong? Tong-its? Ha ha ha ha ha

    My day is not enough, I have insomnia, I watched TV and fell asleep. When I woke up, I clean, cook, wash, have time with the family, I need more than twenty-four hours.

    How do you describe yourself?

    I am what I am; its either I am happy or sad and angry. What you see is what you got. I am not the kind of person who will make the first move to be your friend… Taray! (Snub)

    What is the saddest thing that ever happened?

    When my son died seven years ago I still didn’t recover. Until now I still feel his absence.

    What do you do to relieve your sadness?

    I am just quiet, I have only two emotions, either I am happy or sad.

    I felt her mood was changing so I shifted the conversation to a more lovely question.

    How do you manage to stay as thin and sexy as you are? Any beauty secrets?

    Nothing really, I am contented of what I have, of what I am. The only routine I always do is fifteen minutes exercise every morning.

    What are the things that changed when you turned fifty?,

    I think its how I dress up. I felt I am more conservative now .

    (again◊, Mr Nabil is present during the interview and this is his comment: well, when you reached fifty and beyond, your body had undergone a lot of changes, you are more exposed to the sun, your skin become darker and wrinkled, you put on weight, that’s why a lot of women beyond fifty changed their style to cover things that they are shy to show) do you agree?

    Oh well, maybe..what about madame Malou? She is still the same?? No change, she is even more daring!

    .:-) and Lynn has a nice body at age 53, she doesn’t have to hide anything…correct!

    How about in marriage?  You are a very young bride and yet you manage to keep your marriage, is it you or Rolly that keeps the marriage going?

    I think its our partnership that works, he is a good provider, when it comes to home, I am the “boss”, I make the decision but every decision i made, I always informed him..Honesty is the best policy..that is my principle in life.

    Do yo inform him before or after?

    Of course before and after! I think to have a good communication is one of the important aspect in marriage. Specially when it comes to financial matter because he is the only one working, its hard-earned money but most of the time, he really doesn’t mind, I just informed him of my decision. (oh well! it seems, the final say is with Lynne; peace govs! lol)

    What are you looking forward beyond fifty?

  • Jeddah POP ICON 2011..a night to remember!

    Contender #1 Glenys Cabana

    Certainly yesterday was a night to remember for everyone present in that occasion. It’s a mixture of young, old and those who never got old or refused (if I may quote) to be senior citizens.

    Pop Icon 2011 (singing competition for OFW in Saudi Arabia) was organized by FAME which I learned was formerly SE productions…I remember TFCK (Teens Fun Club with kids) those years and days to prepare such production was tedious thing to do. And no matter how you put all together the act, there will always be a missed out, misplaced and miscommunication. Nevertheless, the organizer should be applauded for their commitment to make the night successful.

    Number one contender was Glen Cabana, I still remember her as one of the kids of TFCK. She has grown to be a very fine lady with a golden voice. She looks equally gorgeous with her blue velvet gown, which proves the chemistry between Abe and Leonie really works wonder. I was just saddened by the fact that the microphone she used was not really that good, her real voice was not enhanced but rather it made it worst. Pinch me, if I say differently but that’s my opinion.

    Another contender I knew was Dareen (#7), she was also so naive when I met her the first time, last night was a surprise, and she is a performer petite with a nice voice.

    Another Lady I knew was the ever energetic charming Gina Casino (Rada), she did the convocation in English and Arabic as well. Well done Gina!

    Though I was a bit annoyed when we were asked to leave the table

    yasmeen/jayne

    (apparently the table is for VIP but there was no guide or sign) I like to commend the three beautiful usherettes (Yasmeen, jayne and another lady) you’re presence made the night more pleasing to stay. Miss Saudi Arabia (fil-indian beauty) was really a stand out among others.

    Ms. Saudi Arabia

    The man contenders are also entertaining, I like contender no.8 , he put a lot of feelings on his songs. The dancers are cool.They dance gracefully with gusto! I like the Waka-waka dance and that super little petite singer, I apologize for not remembering names..a sign of beauty beyond fifty:-)

    Congratulations to the winners and to all contenders, especially to my lady Gwen, you may not got what you want this time, continue dreaming and aspire to make it real.. always hope for the best and good luck to whatever undertaking you may have.

    Cheers!

  • Aging gracefully…diversion is the key

    the many faces of fifty ..one..two

    Age is a number that usually we are not amused to count. I came to Jeddah 1987, armed with a double Bachelor degree, a lot of my patients commented that I am too young to be a Doctor…” Whatttt..don’t tell me you went to school when your teeth are just erupting???” At that time, I am not pleased, I like to look matured, may be 10 years more than my age. I look like a child who is trying hard to wear a white coat to look like a doctor. Appearance really matters in this country because if you look around they really look matured more than their age.

    That was then, now fifty and beyond wants to look naturally. Time have passed, you have made a marked in people’s mind, whether it is your patients, your friend, family and acquaintances. That’s the good thing being in your golden years, you have achieved a lot that a formal introduction is not needed, unless you haven’t change your old self, I mean your appearance in particular.

    If you’re wearing the same hairstyle century ago, now is the time to change… try finding a good salon that will cut and color your hair according to your skin tone.

    Check your wardrobe; check the colors of your clothes…are you in gray or black shades? There’s nothing wrong with black, but if you’re wearing black at all times, think! Are you hiding something? May be its time to shade those extra kilos! Wear something different, red? Blue? Yellow or maybe choose lighter shades that will make your day better, which will make you feel different if not beautiful. Remember when you feel good, you look beautiful inside out.

    If you haven’t been in SPA, now is the time to pamper yourself. You’re under stress? Go shopping; buy the things you really want, no money?  Well, then just look at it ha ha ha ha, well at least you did some exercise (walking around mall), you see beautiful people who will inspire your day, instead of just sitting at home, cleaning, ironing, cooking etc. Don’t feel guilty, you’re doing these things every day, have time for yourself too!

    Aging is a continuous process, we cannot hold it, rich and famous looks fabulous because they have means, domestic helper, PA, etc. a lot of things that we normal ladies doesn’t have… but you know what, we have ourselves, this is the time to think about YOU, if you don’t? Who else would?

    It’s natural for us, to think about our children, we can afford to buy them PSP, X-box, a thousand worth of clothes/shoes but what we got for ourselves?twenty riyals worth of slippers? You’re probably busy doing household chores that you just clipped back your hair, wear old clothes, and ignore the mirror. huh! It’s about time..wake up, do something for yourself, at least pamper yourself once a week, a month, find time to amuse yourself.

    Stress? find something to divert, dance, yes dance even you’re alone, do exercise…this is beneficial to your body and mind…declare a day off! kids has day off…dad has a day off..even a helper has a day off…why not YOU!

    Let’s go  ladies… see you on Thursday? LADIES ONLY..lol!
