Ann, 26, The Twinkle Twinkle Belle of Bulacan

Hello! I am Alma Rose Roxas, call me Ann for short, 26 years old this coming May 17, from the town of kwitis and litson-- Bocaue, Bulacan. I have been staying in Bulacan since I was a baby and even when I went to college in Padre Faura, I used to go home daily. I have been going back and forth in Manila and QC for eight years but can say that I wasn't really exposed much to the urban way of life. I took AB Political Science in my undergrad, and took Masters in Public Administration for my graduate studies. I have just received my master's degree last April 23 ' 06. Right now, I am currently out of job, for a change. I used to work as management and audit analyst for the governor of Bulacan in the last three years, and had been a staff also of several politicians during the last five years prior.

My dad died when I was 21, several months after I graduated. It was the most painful experience so far for me. Since then, I have helped support my younger sister and younger brother to continue with schooling. I am the second child in the family. I have a kuya who is currently taking up Law. The sister next to me has already finished her college; the brother next to her wants to pursue a four-year degree this coming enrolment.

I am not really out of job because my father left a small school in Bulacan which I help manage since 2001. But it actually is a corporation with several co-shareholders.

Benj, 21, The Maverick of Manila

Generally, this game isn't really about perceptions of an individual on himself - it's more of how other people perceive you as an individual while observing your words and actions as the game goes along. I didn't choose the title "the maverick" because i see myself as one - hardly --- but I'm sure when all is said and done, most people would label me as such so let's cut the crap and get on with the show.

I'm Benjamin [you guys could call me Benj]. I'm currently studying at the UP College of Medicine in UP Manila. I have a passion for debate [i used to debate competitively in the collegiate level], basketball [Mavericks and Jazz fan - I play quite a lot too], philosophy [read: my own] and most of all, music. Aside from listening to music and dissecting every morsel of contextual meat in the lyrics, I also immerse myself in songwriting. I'm currently part of three musical projects now - none of which are going anywhere. But that doesn't matter. I take satisfaction in the fact that I write music for myself - and I like what I do. If I like what I'm doing, that's fine by me. If other people like it, that's a bonus, but that's the way it goes. I right for myself [and my bands] and for no one else.

Aside from writing music and expounding on the hush-hush world of atheism - a topic that barely sees the light of day in this country. I've taken it unto myself to write about because I sense a brimming passion within me to speak against the establishment and try to get the point across to those bigots who don't tolerate other philosophies - and more importantly, to reach out to those who are willing to embrace diversity in convictions. I salute those who genuinely see the world and existence as a whole for what it is as opposed to just subscribing to what their church tells them to do and think.

I also enjoy traveling and chronicling them in my blog. This summer has led me to a couple of cool places and hopefully, the stuff in my blog would motivate you to visit those places as well. The Philippines is a great place, everyone! You gotta see it for yourself.

I know there's a great propensity for people here to disagree with a lot of what I write about, but hopefully, those people are mature enough to realize that this world is riddled with differences in so many levels - philosophical or otherwise.

It's great to have avenues like this wherein we could play out one of our most unlikely fantasies - that of being a real Pinoy Big Brother housemate. So let's not waste this opportunity - play the game and play to win! good luck, everyone! Take care. :p

Cathe, 14, Sporty Smart Chic ng Legazpi

"I AM A MIND-PERSON. I HATE USING MY HEART IN DECIDING THINGS." ONLY CHILD and SPOILED. "Wala akong kapatid but I almost had a sibling. Nag-iisang babeng anak ako." And that is an advantage for me and even for my parents. My Mom can't be pregnant or else when that time comes, my Dad and I would have to pick between my sibling or my Mom. And we are afraid for that to happen. "Haha. Only Child ako and I have to admit that I am spoiled, especially by my Dad. But hindi ako Brat." They let me study in one of the greatest schools in our place. We go to church whenever possible.

FRIENDS. "I love making friends." Friendly daw ako according to my schoolmates. Lagi daw kasing naka-smile. Haha. :D But I have my barkada. Aside from my family, I have 3 friends with me all the time. Regina, Therese and Mirze. We call ourselves, "Narcissists." We love ourselves kasi but we also love one another. Sobra. I also make friends with people on the internet.

BOYS."I have friends who happens to be boys, but hindi ako committed." I love playing sports like basketball, lawn tennis and ultimate frisbee. I meet boys through my activities. Nagkamali na ako once, or twice. And i don't want that to happen. "I am a mind-person. I hate using my heart in deciding things."

SCHOOL. Incoming 2nd Year High School ako sa St. Agnes' Academy. I am an honor student. 4th Honor. Favorite subjects ko are Science and Math. I just love the challenge. School is great.

REASON FOR JOINING PBBFG. At first, nagkaila ako sumali dito. But then I realize that it can teach me things. I want to know, show and improve myself and my character. I want to know how excellent or inferior I am in relating with other people. I never joined to win. I am here because I can and I can do great things to others.

Gee, 19, Miss Devious Smile ng Pasig

Hi Guyz!!! I'm Gee Ahne Kathrene Giray y de Leon from Pasig City. Just call me "Geexie". I'm 19 years old (and I hate it!)... Halata ba? Errrrr... eneiweiz, I'm currently studying at the University of the Philippines taking up Bachelor of Library and Information Science. But let me tell yah this, I'm not that geek or nerd... I'm just a simple student who wants to learn...So the usual, usual first impression: MATARAY, SNOB, MASUNGIT! I'm sooo sorry if that's what you think...I'm not fond of greeting peepz kasi, whom I barely know, but it doesn't mean that I don't like them. I'm giving you the floor to judge me physically and I don't care(:p)... I looooove butterflies, earrings and the color red... I'm kikay, but I don't like very girly stuffs.I love hiphop, rnb and mellow music. Pero, I was and still a fan of Backstreetboys and The Moffatts... (ooohh, shut up, I know you're laughing! and again, I don't care). Hmmm.. what else??? House-School-Tambay-House-Net-Sleep : that's my everyday routine... Boring??? haha! no! not really... Because I really treasure each and every minute of my life... I often document almost every special moments that come( that's why I love pictures)... I'm a loner sometimes, kasi for me, It's a good way to appreciate the beauty of your surroundings better. But sometimes, I can't live w/o my friends... Sometimes, I'm sick and tired of my life kasi I feel it's paulit-ulit lang... pero pag nalihis yung routine, namimiss ko naman yung madalas kong ginagawa? I think it's normal naman dvah? ... I'm the type of girl that you can ask anything about... I'm open naman... My lovelife is sooo crappy! that's it! What else? I know, i'm wierd... Ano ba talaga ako? haha, actually that's one of the hardest things in life (judge yourself)... I hope you'll get to know me better... and i also like to know you better... Yun lang po! "ope I can gain lots of friends here... So,,,, this is what i am! Deal with it! hahahaha :)

Rex, 21, King of Chocolates ng Pampanga

Hello everyone, my name is Rex and I'm 21 years old. So, basic information first. I’m taking up Computer Engineering at UP Diliman. I live in Quezon City on weekdays because that’s where I study but on weekends, I go home to our province – Pampanga. So I live with my older sister and her family because Papa works in Bahrain and Mama lives there with him.

Now let’s get to know more personally. I wouldn’t blame if you’re first impression of me is intimidating, snobbish, silent-type. It’s happens all the time, actually, haha! But I guess, in the online world I hope it could be different, because of the absences of face-to-face interaction. In reality, people who know me well will definitely agree that I'm actually wacky and oozing with natural humor. You won't find yourself in a blue moment with me.

I must admit that I am a very opinionated person. In fact, my friends say my mouth is a shotgun, for I can be unabashedly blunt in airing my thoughts. Whether it’s a half-meant joke, a criticism, or just a plain observation, it will still feel like having a shotgun aimed closely at your temple. It’s direct and it’s gonna sting. But still, I don’t feel all-knowing at all. My objectivity helps me to respect other people’s opinion, even if they’re different from mine – as long as they respect mine as well.

I put great value on my family and friends, and my principles. You see, I was raised by very principled parents so you can always expect me to stand for what I think and feel is right. I am a great listener, especially with problems. I am amazed by the fact that when it comes to other people’s problems, we sure know how to find the solutions. Therefore, I’d be glad to be assistance to anyone who is in need – as long kaya ng powers ko, hehe! Trust, respect, loyalty and honesty are essential values for me. Nevertheless, I'm still for second chances.

A fortune teller once told me that one of my best trait is knowing the right things to say, and when to say it. So, go figure for yourself, hehe. As for my personal leisure pursuits, just check my main blog. You’ll find a lot of stuff in there about me that are too much to insert here. So there, that’s me in a nutshell. Love me or hate me – but I sure hope it’s the former! =p

Ron, 19, Ang Hardworking Yuppy ng Baguio

Heya! My name is Ron and I am 19 years old. I livein Baguio City and currently working in one of thecall centers here. I am the youngest in our family.But then I figured out a way to live by myself(lol).. Ifinished an associate degree in InformationTechnology. But you won't believe me if I say I hateall the programming languages but Java. Yes, I amonly fond of creating websites and one of them ischenelin.com.. My friend encouraged me to comeup with such a website(weird, eh?).. But with mykind of job, I have little time to maintain it.Speaking of my job,you might all be wonderingwhat I'm doing in a call center.. Well, guess what?I am a night crawler! In layman's words, I work onnight shifts. So I sleep in the morning and work atnight. Whattalife, isn't it? BUt i tell you what..I amalready working here for almost 2 years. So thatonly means that I have survived with this job!

The reason why I joined PBBFG is to meet newpersonalities and learn from them. I just lovedealing with new guys and making new friends. SoI say this game's gonna be fun!
