• Are handbags status symbols? It is certainly nice to have something of designer quality to enhance your fashion style. That said, a designer handbag is by no means a way to express status, but rather a way to express yourself. It's not to be taken too seriously, but it is a luxury.
• What does this bag say about you? Chic, modern and sophisticated
• If someone found your bag and looked inside, what would they think of you? They'd probably think I'm a neat freak. I have a purse organizer that organizes everything I have. But, I do have everything a girl needs, and now I can find it quickly.
• What's the most important item you've carried in your bag? Lyrics for the Philippine national anthem before performing it for the president of the Philippines.
• What's the strangest? My wisdom teeth after they were extracted.
• Tell us about the first special bag you owned. I always wanted a Louis Vuitton bag so after "American Idol" I decided to spoil myself and bought one. It was the white multicolor Theda PM bag. I loved it and still do.
• Knockoffs: Love 'em or hate 'em? Hate 'em. For me, there's always a noticeable difference in quality. You can't beat the real thing.
• Image is ... important, but it isn't everything.
• What's in your bag? Throat Coat tea bags, plumeria flower I wear in my hair, hand sanitizer, YSL Elle perfume, "Society of Seven and Jasmine Trias" show fliers, my personalized, bedazzled iPhone.
