She can also handle the demands of doing romance, drama, action, horror or even a hybrid genre.

With that, the Viva Artists Agency talent is privy to the challenging but fulfilling work setup that her profession entails.

That's why it's important for her to stop and smell the roses.

"Balance. It's all about balance," answered Heaven to this paper's question on her idea of time for play or relaxation in a recent press conference, "knowing when to play and knowing when to pause and take a breather kasi we have to find joy in small things, and so, for me, ganun yung (that's my) outlook ko for playtime."

Artists like her have to squeeze in some me-time or time with family and friends to recharge their batteries for the next showbiz commitment or assignment.

Heaven shared, during the media call that formally welcomed her to the PlayTime family, that she has her hands full with the series adaptation of "I Love You Since 1892," with Jerome Ponce and Joseph Marco as leading men. Its premiere is on Sept. 6 over Viva One.

The narrative sees her playing two characters, Carmela and Carmelita, who live in two different timelines and have intriguing but possibly connected storylines.
