Young actor Sam Milby said he is happy with the state of his life as he celebrated his 24th birthday.
When asked what his birthday wish was, Milby replied, "Ang birthday wish ko actually wala, masaya ako sa lahat ng nangyayari sa buhay ko. Siyempre gusto kong makita ang pamilya ko nang mas madalas. Gusto ko laging masaya ang pamilya ko," Milby told abs-cbnNEWS.com.
The heartthrob admitted that he would like to buy a gift for himself.
"Sa birthday gift ko, gusto kong ipagbili iyong kotse ko at bumili ng bagong kotse."
Plans for the future
The actor said he still has aspirations he hopes to fulfill.
"I want to go back to college, I wanna take up psychology pero hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko, kasi parang ngayon I’m getting into a little business," Milby said.
He also wants to become a better artist. "Improvement lang sa lahat ng kailangan, sa craft sa Tagalog, sa singing, sa performance, sa lahat gusto kong mag-improve."
Milby also shared that as a birthday gift, his rumored girlfriend, actress Anne Curtis gave him an XBox 360.
As Milby turned 24, he said that one of the best birthday gifts he received was the retraction and apology that brought about the settlement of the libel case against columnist-host Lolit Solis. Milby is now happy that everything ended well.
"Siyempre relieving. Siyempre we didn’t want to go on with the case, so just happy I mean it’s over. It didn’t go any further," Milby said.
His relationship with Anne's mom
Milby also denied reports that he felt bad that Curtis' mother would prefer actor-host Luis Manzano to be her daughter's boyfriend. He also denied reports that he and Curtis' mother don’t get along well.
"We do get along very well, pero we haven’t had time to know each other na ganyan. Iyong report na lumabas na iyong preference niya ay si Luis it’s more na mas kilala niya si Luis kaysa sa akin.
"Kasi iyong first time na nagkakilala kami ay Christmas lang. This is the second time actually na we got to see each other. I’m sure na in time na we will get to know each other a lot more," he said.
Last Friday, May 23rd, was Milby's actual birthday. He did a show in Melbourne, Australia where Curtis' mother is based. She showed up on stage and gave him a lot of gifts.
"I was so happy nanood siya ng concert namin ni Piolo... she came out on stage and said her birthday wish for me. She brought the cake tapos ang daming gifts na binigay like my tie, my shirt and my wine."
Milby extended his thanks to the mother of his "soul mate."
"Tita Carmen, thank you so much for coming to watch the concert. Thank you sa gifts niyo po at sana later this year I will see you again and don’t forget to text."
Sam and Anne
Milby is now busy preparing for his latest series entitled "Dyosa" with Anne Curtis.
He said that right now he can not say with finality that Curtis is the woman destined for him.
"Well siyempre you will never know kung "the one" pala, but I mean magkakaroon ng time na you know she’s the only woman that you are interested in, that I want to be with you."
When asked if Curtis is wife material for him, Milby said, "Yes. Iyong trabaho na gusto niyang gawin pagkatapos ng showbiz na mag-preschool teacher, she loves kids talaga, she loves kids."
Presently, Milby and Curtis are still in the courting stage.
"Everything was going great with our courtship, pero parang we both felt na God is telling us na it’s not the right time pa, na we need to concentrate on God muna, so iyon ang nangyari. We do go on dates, watch movies together," he said.
Milby has high praises for Curtis. "She’s, wow... she’s gorgeous beautiful inside and out."
