KC Concepcion ready to share life with Mr. Right

December 7 ------ KC Concepcion affirmed that she intentionally took a break from show business, but she never planned for it to last for seven years. The daughter of Megastar Sharon Cuneta and Gabby Concepcion said that losing her beloved grandmother, Elaine Cuneta, profoundly affected her, causing her to quietly step back and focus on herself — both physically and mentally.

“It was a long time, but 2020 (the start of the global pandemic) was included in that. So, I never thought it would last another three years,” KC said during our conversation on “The Talk” segment of “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.” “I’ve read a book, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind. And it says there, ‘Your thoughts turn into feelings, and your feelings turn into actions, and your actions turn into results,’” added she. “So, if your thoughts become negative, they will also turn your feelings negative, and the same goes for what happens to your actions and the results of your choices in life.”

She continued, “And there was a time na parang wala na akong ligayang nakukuha. Kasi parang siguro nung time na ‘yun nawala din ‘yung lola ko, si Mita Elaine (who passed away in 2014). And then, nag-cope talaga ‘yung buong family.”

KC recalled how her grandmother would support her whenever she had a show by consistently being the first to arrive and the last to leave the studio or auditorium. “Ang next ko po noon na hosting was Binibining Pilipinas. It was the year after Pia Wurtzbach won. I was so affected when I saw the audience, and there was no Mita Elaine there anymore. Doon kasi siya unang-unang pinaka-excited manood, lalo kapag mga beauty contest at ako po ‘yung host.”

KC admitted she felt physically weaker. She was no longer feeling the same passion for her work. “And I learned that you can feel that way when you are sad. So, I decided to take a rest because of that.” While on a temporary break, KC spent most of her time reading books and learning about business management. Her relationship with her mom has also improved, and she described it as “so okay now.” It’s well known that mother and daughter once had a rough patch. She said they made up when Sharon showed up at her house on Christmas Day, and they talked for five hours. “It’s normal (to go through tough times), but now we’re doing so much better. We talk like best friends. I can now say to her, ‘Ma, I need girl talk. Call me.’”

KC always keeps in mind the lesson her mom taught her about love. “May mga dumating sa buhay ko na talagang sabi niya sa akin, ‘Anak, when in doubt, don’t.’ So, sabi ko, ‘Bakit may na-fe-feel ka ba?’ And she said, ‘Basta, kung meron kang doubt, kung nag-da-dalawang isip ka, ‘wag na.’” Her dad, Gabby, on the other hand, advised her to have a small, intimate wedding whenever she feels ready to settle down.
