<p>Actress and host Dimples Romana has reached a personal milestone: buying her first car intended for her sole use, after three decades of hard work.</p><p>Dimples has been busy and active in the industry for years, working on one project after the other as an actress, host, endorser, content creator, and entreprenuer, among others. She has been quite vocal on her investments and her business ventures, sharing the planning and thought that goes behind them. Dimples has practiced diligence and discipline in her finances, but this time around, she also normalizes treating one’s self as well.</p><p>On social media, Dimples shared the first time she chose a car for herself.  She revealed the two-seater sports car, a Mazda Miata MX 5 RF, in her vlog.</p><p>“For 30 long years na nagtatrabaho ako, the car that I would always buy would be shared with my family. But this time, I’m buying this for only one person because there’s only two seats for the car, so I can only date one. For example si Papa Boyet, si Callie or si Alonzo or si Elio kapag lumaki na or whoever one friend I’m going to be driving with,” she said in the video.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXgZ0oBOrcD/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A357819.10000038147%2C%22ls%22%3A357007.5%2C%22le%22%3A357811.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1005" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p><strong style="-webkit-text-size-adjust:100%"> </strong>The actress went all out by going with a bolder color for her vehicle.
