DO you know why Bea Alonzo does not like to have a pet? Well, according to her, her parents gave her and her younger brother a pair of hamsters when they were kids. They loved their pets and really took good care of them. But one day, she said, she and her bother slept early. It was too late when they realized they had not yet fed their pets. Then, to their horror, they discovered that one of the hamsters had eaten the head of the other. "Muntik na ho akong ma-traumatize dahil doon," she related. "Since, then, sabi ko sa sarili ko, ayoko na ng pets. "Mayroon ho ngayong alagang aso ang mother ko na dahil alam niyang may phobia ako sa pets, 'di na lang pinababayaang pumasok ng bahay kapag nandoon ako. "So far, 'yan lang po naman ang masasabing unreasonable fear ko," Bea added.

Last Thursday, Star Cinema tendered a victory blowout for the cast, crew and staff of the box-office hit movie, "Now That I Have You." Lead stars John Lloyd Cruz and Bea, who looks even sexier now, were there. The two had just come from a meeting with several of the top guns of ABS-CBN and Star Cinema. They just renewed their contracts with the network. Everyone noticed how extra solicitous John Lloyd was to Bea that evening. Is he finally courting you? we asked Bea. Bea's face turned red, but she chose to remain silent. Nikki Valdez, who played Bea's best friend in the movie, came with good friend and "OK, Fine! Whatever" co-star Rica Peralejo. Anyway, Neri Naig, a product of the "Star Circle Quest," was also at the event, accompanied by her Mom. Kristopher Peralta, who played John's Lloyd's cousin in "Now That I Have You," arrived late.

Guess what! Bea, despite her tremendously busy schedule, attends her classes at the Angelicum College in Quezon City regularly. This comely 16-year-old is now in third year high school. "I promised myself that no matter what, I'll finish high school. At magtatapos din ako ng college," said Bea. Why did she not choose the home study program instead of being a regular student? The home study program of the Education Department was created for special students like her. "Gusto ko pong matikman uli ang pumasok sa isang regular school and act like a regular student. I feel proud wearing my school uniform," Bea enthused.
