Kris Aquino had a bittersweet conversation with her close friend Dindo Balares, in which she admitted that like her supporters, she, too, misses her old self.

Balares, through his Instagram page on Tuesday, June 17, narrated his happy moments with the Queen of All Media during his visit to the beach resort where she currently stays.
The entertainment columnist shared the instance when Aquino received a video that stitched together a clip of her and Sen. Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa.

The video, as per Balares, featured Dela Rosa’s recent remark about being “guided by the Holy Spirit,” and the actress’ old “KrisTV” clip wherein she quipped about “waiting for the Holy Spirit to guide [her].”

“Kris found it very funny and her jolly reaction was contagious. We even talked about how she spontaneously laughs at herself,” Balares said.
He added that even when he already got home, he and Aquino were still talking through a messaging app about the video.

Quoting Aquino, Balares wrote, “You were asking me what I believe sets me apart—it’s because I can laugh at the weirdest things that come popping out of my mouth. When you can laugh at yourself, you’re a winner because having the ability to take life and all its quirks is what keeps one from getting too full of herself.”

Aquino then turned sentimental as she shared a remark from a netizen.

“The one who uploaded said: ‘I miss Krissy.’ It hit me, kuya Dindo. People do not realize how much I miss the old me…” she told Balares. “But I am human and it hurts so much.”

Meanwhile, in a separate Instagram post, Loi Villarama gave a glimpse of his recent visit to Aquino and noted that “Vitamin Sea is working for her.”

“She is in a safe place by the beach. She may be struggling but she is still fighting,” he said, warning netizens against clickbaits and fake news about the actress. “Let’s keep on praying for her.”

Aquino has been diagnosed with nine autoimmune diseases. Five of them, according to her, “can cause her death.”
