With the help of WhenInManila.com’s founder Vince Golangco, I had the opportunity to interview this one of a kind model for this edition of Intimate Manila. However, moments before the shoot and interview began, I already overheard some rumblings about Paloma’s “retirement” from the realm of sexy shoots. Will this Intimate Manila session really be Paloma’s last hoorahs before she hangs the up the thongs on the bleachers?

Paloma, I can’t seem to remember what I’m supposed to be doing, or my name for that matter, whenever I’m staring face to-face with you; so let’s start off easy: Can you tell us how you found out about the Intimate Manila series of whenInManila.com? 

Vince told me about Intimate Manila one day, enough said. 

We beg to differ. There has to be a story behind this. How did Vince convince you to be part of this? Did he pull off his manly charm to get you in for this? 

Well he did flex a bicep or two, I guess.  But seriously, I heard about Intimate Manila when I was a guest host for Vince’s morning radio show. It sounded interesting to me, then Vince showed me certain pegs and shots that really looked great which got me to say ‘yes’. So that’s the low down on how Vince conVinced me to getting in this shoot.

In terms of love-life, are you single or are you taken? 

I am single, but I’m currently dating someone right now. This guy I’m dating is a commercial pilot, and get this…he used to train with the Azkals. So yeah, he trained with the Younghusbands before he became a pilot.  Athletic and a pilot… I know… it’s like an award or something.  Though as of now, we’re not exclusively dating like it’s “us”  or anything to that extent.

If looks could kill 

So when was the last time Paloma Esmeria was in an ‘exclusive’ relationship? 

The last one I had lasted for 4 ½ years and it ended around sometime this year. He is a local basketball player so I’m kind of sure some sports fans out there may know him. I know it’s supposed to take a while to get over breaking up, but for me…it’s been a long time coming. We saw the signs and I didn’t like the way the relationship was going. One day, I just told him we should split up and concentrate on what we’re doing respectively, like his basketball career and my own career. He agreed and I’m glad things worked well for the both of us.

Since you’re still not in the exclusive part of the dating realm, what do, you look for in a guy? 

The kind of guy I’m looking for should be ‘husband material.’ To me, that means the guy is hard-working, stable, and of course he should be responsible. I also want the guy to be sweet and I really want him to have 100% attention towards me when it’s our time together. For the physical aspects, he definitely needs to be taller than me, but that’s really not too difficult., anyone above 5’3 can meet the physical requirements already. Aside from height, he doesn’t have to be too thin or too muscular, I just one someone ‘huggable’. 

In terms of clothing, I’d have to say I do not want those guys who wear skinny jeans. I mean c’mon that just looks kind of gay to me. If you’re a guy, wear ‘guy clothes’ or something manlier than skinny jeans. I’m sorry, but that’s just my pet peeve when it comes to men’s clothing. 

Another thing that I look for in a guy is that he’s knowledgeable of some kind of sport. So if I throw a ball, he’ll catch it and not duck out like a scared little girl. So, yeah, at least know a sport.

How about chess players then? Do they have a shot? 

Oh c’mon now! Yes, chess is a sport but it’s not my type of sport. What I meant are the more physical ones such as Basketball, Football. You know, those types. I’m sorry to the chess players out there, but, that’s not my favorite sport in the world. However, if he does know something else outside of chess, I’ll try to reconsider your case. *wink* 

This is just something I’d like to ask, is there any current athlete right now that you’d wish to go out on a date with? 

There is one, yes; that man is Kobe Bryant. I like the way he dresses himself and how he acts in public. You know, there’s this air of flair and professionalism when he’s out there. It’s funny to note that I’m not the biggest Kobe fan. I’m actually a Boston Celtics fan. I mean, Rajon Rondo is my current favorite NBA player and all but if you’d ask me who I’d rather date between the two, it’s still going to be Kobe Bryant. 

Poor Mr. Rondo, still can’t get a good break. For those who are interested to try their luck, athletes or non-athletes, what’s the best way to approach you? For example, how should they approach you if they spot you inside a bar? 

The easiest way to do it is to that, well, they just have to be straightforward. That’s it really. I like it when the guy is straight to the point and knows what he wants. That is something I admire with people. If they want to say that I’m beautiful and that they want to buy me a drink, then do it. I’ll gladly say “thank you and I would like some Belvedere too”. 

So you prefer those who shoot straight to the point, huh? 

Yes. I mean I really admire those guys brave enough to approach me and ask me about my name, what I wanna drink, and so on. What I don’t like, are those people who beat around the bush. These guys just come up to me and give lame questions in public like “Are you a model?” or “Are you Paloma?” I would wait for their follow up line to check if it’s a pick up line, but, well 9 times out of 10 I get nothing else from them. I’m sorry but that doesn’t work for me.  If you want to compliment or ask someone out, just go straight to the point. I’m pretty sure other women out there share my sentiments and don’t like it when guys stall. C’mon, guys, be man enough. We won’t eat you alive or anything… well, maybe not at first. 

Let’s put up a scenario for you: What if someone does approach you and asks “Hey there, what’s your name?”, and hands you a belvedere, what would be your reaction to this guy? 

Well if THAT’S the case then, *ahem* “Thanks…my name’s Paloma what’s your name?” *winks* 

What if I told you, he’s a chess player? 

Hey, I told you, I can reconsider, right? He knew my weakness. I just can’t say ‘no’ flat out now. *laughs*
