Stunner Nicole Hernandez is definitely not just a famous face on TV because of her countless commercials, but is also, undoubtedly, DLSU’s campus heartthrob. ANGEL-FACED NICOLE She’s the fresh face behind numerous print and TV ads like Ivory, Camay, Carefree, Pepsi, Secret, and Bayo. And hers is that sweet smile that led the DLSU basketball team during the UAAP opening. But no, don’t be deceived! She may look meek and mild, but Nicole can beat any cab driver in the bottleneck road war. She giggles, "Things can get really nasty if I’m stuck behind slow drivers." Aside from that, she claims to be some sort of a daredevil, and proclaims, "I’ll never pass up a challenge or a dare. No way!" Nicole says she’s more the outspoken type–never hesitant to express her thoughts and will never walk away from any argument…ah, firm and head-strong, huh? "I’m a hard worker," Nicole continues, "I strive to do my best in everything and am extremely meticulous, especially when it comes to schoolwork." At 18, she’s already planned to pursue a master’s degree then work for a fashion magazine, and eventually open her own boutique–of course, inspired by her favorite pastime, shopping! On weekends, she’s nowhere else to be found but the mall! Nicole giggles, "I’m a shopaholic, I admit! But I also like reading, oil painting, sketching, going to the gym, or simply hanging out with friends." Asked what her ideal guy is like, she’s quick to answer, "I like abs! I like guys who have a blend of Spanish and Filipino features in them; and it’s also very important that he’s sensitive, funny, and malambing."
