Hajie Alejandro & Lenie Aycardo : Viral Moments to Timeless Icons
He said, “Noong mga panahong wala kaming pera, hindi namin siya sinasabing naghihirap kami, kasi noong mga time na 'yun, masaya kami.”
“Doon namin na-realize na ito na ‘yun. Finally, ito na ‘yun,” Lenie recalls about that moment.
“Si Hajie talaga ang pinaka OC, perfectionist sa content.” Lenie explains, noting how they balance each other when the hours get long.
“Ako talaga into details. Kasi bawat detalye, bawat piraso ng beads, ng damit, ine-effort namin, dine-DIY naman,” Hajie mentions.
“Galing kami ng Thailand, ‘yun ‘yung first time na nag-effort kami nang todong-todo. Ginawa talaga namin yung best namin,” Lenie says.
“Kapag naririnig ko, and napapanood ko ulit yung Asoka, mayroon talagang memories na bumabalik, and ‘yung feeling talaga hindi nawawala,” she added.
“Siguro ang lagi nilang sinasabi, magaling lang naman yan kasi may sarili silang glam team,” Lenie shares. “Hindi nila alam na nag-start din kami sa walang-wala… kaming dalawa lang.”
“Kapag may trend… nandoon pa rin ‘yung branding, and yung personal touch namin,” Lenie shares.
“Yung hinahanap ko na feeling, ako pala yung magbibigay. Kung hindi ko siya makukuha, ako pala yung magbibigay para sa anak ko. Sobrang fulfillng na hindi niya mararanasan yung loneliness na hinahanap-hanap ko na pakiramdam sa tatay ko,” Hajie recalls a full-circle moment on becoming a father.
“Ang sarap sa feeling na kahit pagod ka na, ‘pag-uwi mo ng bahay at si Baby Marco ay sasalubong sa’yo, iba yung feeling niya. Parang tanggal lahat ng pagod, ayun yung bago na nararamdaman namin ngayon,” Lenie added.
“Yung tipong sasabihin niya, wala siyang inner child. Hindi ko ihe-heal yung inner child ko,” they added in unison.
