Julie Anne is upbeat about 2020

MANILA, Philippines — As early as now, Julie Anne San Jose is already claiming that her 2020 is going to be a year of breakthroughs.

“I claim it. It’s going to be great. I’m excited, very excited,” she said, but did not confirm nor deny rumors that she and Alden Richards are going to be the frontliners of the alleged revamp of Sunday Pinasaya.

Meanwhile, the holidays are keeping Julie Anne busy as she’s expected to perform for the New Year’s Countdown on Dec. 30 at the Philippine Arena and on Dec. 31 for GMA 7’s yearly countdown at SM Mall of Asia. But before that, she and her family will be flying to Japan to take a quick break and spend their Christmas there.

On assessing her 2019, Julie Anne said that this year has been great even if she remains fancy-free. According to her, she has no time for love life because she wants to focus on her career.

“Madaming nangyari. Siguro mas naging rollercoaster ride for me yung last year than this year because like yung ngayon puro work po talaga tapos ang daming blessings ni Lord, of course. Ang daming opportunities and I’m just very, very grateful for everything,” said Julie Anne who has had a slew of projects like the Studio 7, Sunday Pinasaya and the recently-concluded second season of The Clash. She also released last October her single Isang Gabi, her first collaboration with Rico Blanco under Universal Records, and mounted her sold-out major concert last July.

As if that’s not enough, Julie Anne was recently tapped as Lee Jeans PH’s newest ambassador. The contract-signing was attended by Lee country manager James Parry, Lee senior VP for Corporate Affairs Dondi Manlulo, GMA Artist Center assistant VP for Talent Imaging and Marketing Simoun Ferrer and GMAAC senior talent manager Daryl Zamora.

The 25-year-old Kapuso star, who gets inspiration from fashion icons Olivia Palermo and Heart Evangelista, loves to dress up and experiment with clothes. She believes that “at the end of the day, you are what you wear. It says a lot about you. Like right now, I’m wearing a simple dress from Lee, so I guess I can say that I can be very simple but at the same time I look very chic and casual. It’s not just about carrying yourself as a person but also presenting yourself kung ano ka talaga.”
