Sunshine Dizon’s powerful weapon

SUNSHINE DIZON did not play the lead role on GMA's fantasy series “Urduja” (which preceded “Voltes V: Legacy”), but she seemed to have unleashed her weapon in one episode of “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.”

In her particular case, the freelance actress is — to this day — wielding her might to battle her personal demons brought about by her separation from husband Timothy Tan in 2016.

It took all of eight years for Sunshine to finally process the pain, which she now acknowledges as part of her coping mechanism.

She confessed to harboring nothing but hate, trying to figure out what was wrong with herself.

“I don't know where did I fall short,” Sunshine told Boy who thought that maybe the culprit was not what his interviewee believed she lacked or fell short of, but rather her excesses.

Still, Sunshine was unable to provide the answer.

All she knew is that she tried as much as she could to save her marriage from falling apart.

What Sunshine cared more about was how to make their two children feel that everything was as normal as she and Timothy could be.

“We were living in the same house but in different rooms. I wanted to create a semblance of a perfect household for them,” she shared.

Has Sunshine found forgiveness in her heart? As Boy stressed, only can we set ourselves free if we are able to forgive people who have wronged us.

“Yes and no,” was Sunshine's curt, quite ambiguous reply.

Then she proceeded to qualify her answer.

Yes in the sense that she's appreciative of Timothy being a good father to the kids.

Sunshine even recalled when Timothy knelt on his knees, saying he couldn't live to be away from the children, hence Sunshine's agreeing to their co-parenting setup.

But a no answer at the same time for all the sufferings their separation has caused upon her.

“I can forgive but I can never ever forget,” Sunshine later on admitted.

In December last year, it will be remembered that Sunshine was diagnosed with PTSD or post-traumatic stress disorder.

Along with it came a caboodle of other conditions such as depression, panic and anxiety attacks, abandonment issues, etc. which had her in and out of the hospital.

Thankfully, it wasn't a chronic thing that adversely took a toll on her outlook toward work.

Although she rued she should have undergone therapy at the onset, proof that she's back on her toes — as she was shortly after their separation — is keeping herself preoccupied with so much on her plate.

Presently trying to rebuild herself, Sunshine left an inspiring message — not to other women trapped in the same situation — but to herself.

“Never give up. Take life as it is. With God's grace, you'll be able to get through it,” Sunshine said as she faced Boy's imaginary mirror.

Looking forward to yet another sunshiny day, the actress' name isn't in fact a misnomer.

GUESS WHO? After having successfully undergone a nose job, this beauty queenly actress (BQA) was too cautious never to let her nose get pinched, worse, hit by any hard object to avoid deformity.

The BQA would always look away from co-workers or friends to thwart any attempt at making beso-beso with her.

According to her, the nose job was so pricey to achieve her desired look that she couldn't afford to see it go haywire and spend on it to have it redone.

Sadly, an unexpected thing happened right on the set of a TV series she was doing.

While she exercised caution to protect her nose, it was by accident that she had her bumpers smash a wall.

So hard that fluids began gushing out of her injured chest.

The BQA had no choice but to admit to the production team she had a breast implant.

The day's taping was called off and resumed only after the BQA recovered.
