Teen stars Jhassy Busran and John Heindrick team-up in an upcoming online series "Roommate" scheduled for release in December. In their latest project, Jhassy plays a college student who is "crush ng bayan" while John is a nerd.

During a set visit in Sampaloc, Manila recently, the stars talked about their career and their respective goals for the coming year. With busy schedules, Jhassy and John said that they are both happy with the flow of their career.

"Kung ano man ang lumabas sa ginawa ko, I'm always happy kasi pinaghirapan ko po yun. Hindi ako yung nagsasabi na dapat ganyan or ganito. Kung ano man po yung dumating sa akin, lagi ko itong ine-embrace," Jhassy said. "Malayo pa ang journey ko pero sa nangyayari sa career ko ngayon, masaya po ako. Thankful po ako."

(Whatever came out of what I did, I'm always happy because I worked hard for it. I'm not the one who says it should be like this or like that. Whatever comes to me, I always embrace it. I still have a long way to go but with what's happening in my career right now, I'm happy. I'm thankful.)

John said: "Masaya naman ako sa career ko ngayon dahil kung nasaan man po ako ngayon, pinaghirapan ko rin po yun. Proud naman ako sa mga ginagawa ko pero I know may kulang pa. So kung ano yung present, focus ako doon."

(I'm happy with my career now because wherever I am now, I've worked hard for it. I'm proud of what I'm doing but I know there's still something missing. So what's in the present, I focus on that.)

"Pero kasi minsan iniisip paano kung meron pumasok na hindi maganda? Hindi naman lahat ng nangyayari eh maganda. So ako talaga pinaghahandaan ko ang lahat," he added.

(But sometimes I think what if something bad comes in? Not everything that happens is good. So I really prepare for everything.)

"Kung ano man po ang ginagawa ko ngayon, ipagpapatuloy ko ito sa 2023. Alam ko dito ako magaling eh," said John, in reference to acting career. "Ayoko sayangin ang pagkakataon na ito," he also said.

(Whatever I'm doing now, I'll continue it in 2023. I know I'm good at it," said John, in reference to acting career. "I don't want to waste this opportunity.)

As of now, John stopped going to school and focuses on showbiz. "Masaya po talaga ako sa ginagawa ko ngayon. Kung saan ako masaya doon po ako. I choose to be happy."

(I'm really happy with what I'm doing now. I choose to be happy.)

Jhassy, 16, also shared her Christmas wish. "Siguro dito lang kami sa Pilipinas at manonood ng online series 'Roommate.' Sana magkaroon ng Christmas party 'yung production namin. Masaya kasi kapag may Christmas party."

On the part of John, he simply wished for good health and happy vibes.

Jhassy and John described their relationship as good friends.

Asked what bonded them together, Jhassy said: "Mahilig kami makinig ng music. Mahilig si John sa OPM pero ako naman universal. Ang dami niyang pinaririnig sa akin na magagandang lumang kanta."

(We love to listen to music. John loves OPM but I'm universal. He asks me to listen to a lot of good old songs.)

"Ang sarap pakinggan yung mga ganyang kanta pagmatutulog na ako. Tulad ng mga songs ng APO Hiking Society," he said.

(It's nice to listen to songs like that when I go to sleep. Like the songs of the APO Hiking Society.)

On career move, John said: "Ang dami ko pong gusto gawin. Ang taas ng tingin ko sa sarili ko. Gusto kong maging musician, gusto kong gumawa ng mga sariling kanta."

(I want to do so much. I think highly of myself. I want to be a musician, I want to make my own songs.)

"Ang dami ko ng nagawang kanta. Kapag nag-iisa ako at malungkot, nagsusulat ako ng songs. Galing kasi ako sa broken hearted na situation at doon nagsimula ang lahat (ng pagsulat ko ng kanta). Dinadaan ko na lang sa tugtog para malibang ako. Nagsusulat ako habang lumuluha ako.

(I have made many songs. When I'm alone and sad, I write songs. Because I came from a broken hearted situation and that's where it all started (when I wrote the song). I am writing as I cry.)

"Pero hindi ako nagpapadala sa lungkot. Kasi kung magpapadala ako sa ganun, baka mawalan ako ng confidence sa sarili ko. Ganun talaga siguro kapag mahal mo ang sarili mo. At saka may pinanghahawakan ako sa sarili ko na kapag hindi mo tanggap ang situation, habang buhay ka magdurusa. Marami rin kasi ako ginagawa kaya nakakalimutan ko na rin. Kesa isipin ko pa yun," John said.

(But I don't embrace sadness. Because if I embrace something like that, I might lose confidence in myself. I'm also doing a lot so I forget. I'd rather not think about that.)

Asked to comment on the "hugot" thoughts of John, Jhassy said: "Actually pareho kaming ma-words of wisdom. Marami siyang sine-share sa akin na mga natututunan niya sa buhay."

(Actually we both have words of wisdom. He shares a lot with me that he learns in life.)
