00:00 Hi everyone, it's your girl, Aura Briguella, and yes, this is KND First.

00:04 If it's really super expensive,

00:12 my first million is a van.

00:16 But if it's just expensive, shoes.

00:21 Jordan was popular before, right?

00:24 Dr. Martin, those leather shoes.

00:27 In Hong Kong.

00:28 Because I didn't pass 2,000 in shoes.

00:31 Then I went up to 10,000 in shoes in Hong Kong.

00:35 Yes!

00:37 When I was 3 years old,

00:43 that's why growing up, I knew I was gay.

00:46 Because I have two sisters, and then when I was young,

00:49 I wanted Hello Kitty, panty, and then their dresses.

00:54 So,

00:55 they had a lot of options, and I was just wearing polo shorts and pants.

00:59 It's not giving, so.

01:01 I came out when I was 3 years old.

01:03 When I was trans, I was 18 to 19.

01:08 Because I remember my last Pride month,

01:11 I was still gay, and I wanted people to address me as she/her.

01:16 But now, I realized that if I want them to address me as a girl,

01:21 then maybe I'm a girl.

01:24 Like, I'm a trans.

01:26 So, yeah.

01:28 Maybe this year or last year, I became trans.

01:31 Like, best friend or friend love.

01:38 Because in "friend," the ones who are older are the "provincianos."

01:42 So, most likely, they're older brothers and sisters.

01:45 But in "showbiz friend," it's hard.

01:47 Maybe Andrea.

01:49 My first love was Andrea.

01:51 AC was my first love.

01:53 Because "Your Face" sounds familiar now.

01:56 And then, next, Ate Riva.

01:58 I don't have a crush on--

02:04 Woo!

02:05 First celebrity crush,

02:07 Diego Loizaga.

02:09 Anyways, congrats.

02:11 You're a father now.

02:13 But before, he became my friend.

02:15 Then, you know, he's my crush.

02:17 He was my super baby.

02:22 Of course, I didn't have foundation before.

02:24 I didn't have concealer.

02:26 Maybe powder.

02:28 Because when you're young,

02:31 especially in "provinciano,"

02:33 you don't need foundation or concealer

02:36 because you don't have any stress of the face.

02:39 Powder, powder, love.

02:41 The one who makes me feel better.

02:46 Ate Riva.

02:48 That's why I got her tattooed.

02:50 When I have success or achievements,

02:54 she's always the first one I tell.

02:58 When I'm at my lowest point in life,

03:01 she's there too.

03:03 She's the one I tell to go up and down.

03:07 Her icon, Rihanna.

03:12 She's really--

03:14 Hollywood for international Rihanna.

03:17 But in the Philippines,

03:20 well, my mom is also international.

03:22 Vice-Ganda.

03:23 Because I remember that

03:25 I was 12 when she bought me

03:28 worth 250,000 in a mall.

03:32 She bought me stuff.

03:34 Yes.

03:35 "Provinciano."

03:40 That's where I really started, "provinciano."

03:43 My favorite memories on set

03:45 are how they taught me how to act.

03:48 Because my video went viral just acting.

03:51 Then I was at the point where there's a camera there

03:55 and there's a lot of cameras.

03:57 They taught me behind the camera,

03:59 my brother Coco.

04:00 "Don't look at the camera, look at the artist."

04:02 That's my favorite memories

04:04 because the time came when I didn't need a guide.

04:08 I was confident that I was in her lane

04:12 and my eyes weren't turning.

04:14 So that's my favorite memories

04:16 of how I learned to act without a workshop.

04:20 "Adobo."

04:24 Of course, it's rice.

04:27 You know, recipes.

04:28 We eat rice first.

04:30 But I mastered adobo.

04:32 "Sunog yung giniling."

04:34 "Grind meat."

04:35 Maybe you don't know what "giniling" is.

04:37 [shouts]

04:38 Yeah.

04:42 "First love."

04:44 You don't know what it is?

04:46 First love.

04:47 I was in grade 8.

04:48 Grade 8 to grade 9.

04:50 But maybe it's not love.

04:52 "Happy love."

04:53 "Happy crush."

04:55 That's not showbiz.

04:57 It's really attached.

04:59 And there's a bit of a twist

05:01 when it's gone.

05:02 So that's my first love.

05:04 "Kiss my mom."

05:09 [shouts]

05:10 That's showbiz.

05:11 First kiss.

05:13 Ah!

05:14 First kiss.

05:15 Ate Julia Barreto.

05:17 Like, on the lips.

05:18 When I was a baby.

05:20 Sorry, Julia Barreto was my first kiss.

05:23 So that's all, guys.

05:25 Thank you guys for watching.

05:26 I hope you guys like it.
