DAY NINETY-ONE
Charles blogs: Greatest of all Words

Last night, I watched “Devil Wears Prada”, a good choice, over You are the One, since I got a new point of view to hold on.

The Last scene in the movie, where Andy Sach (Anne Hathaway) gave Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) a nod and smile, says everything she wanted to say, ‘Thank you for everything’!

“Thank You” is, for me the greatest word, while Love is the greatest gift of God. Saying “thank you” means a lot, it depends on how you say it. Andy’s way, nonverbal, sends powerful waves of gratefulness, much saying that I can do it now, because you help me do it.

I remember the days, when I am still at PNU-SG, we call our SG President as Madam Jedel, (real name: Delfin Baquiran, yes! he’s gay!). I appreciate the way he handles the Student Government: strict, firm and authority, but he has a heart, he shows us that he cries and he feel weak, but nonetheless, our respect is high. He teached us different things, like having confident to talk to may people, being ‘maboka’, and be a leader

Bu then, there are times that you really need to let go. I feel the need to go out of his cluctches. So I resigned from my post, and be an ordinary student. I did not regret my decision, but everytime I see him, or passing by him, I just can forget the feeling that I appreciate everything that he has done for me. Just a nod and a smile says evrything I wanted to say to him, and I know he understands it.

Just being sentimental again.

P.S. = Miranda (Meryl, in one scene,) looks like Martin Buen Cruz.

DAY NINETY
Gee blogs: BER Month naaaah!

Naaah! Ang bilis ng time. Parang yesterday lang, kaka-18 ko pa lang... and then matatapos na yung Year 2006. It will be year 2007 and I'll be 20 years old. Waaah! I'm not liking it! errrr...

Anyways, I'm hearing Christmas songs nah... sa radio, sa mall and sa LRT daw, according to them... Haha! Ang exag naman! Hmmm... Well, for that, as early as now, I'm giving you my Christmas Wishlist... hehe...

~*GEEXIE'S CHRISTMAS WISHLIST...*~

1. Earrings! I don't care kung plastic earrings lang siya or yung CHEAPNESS na earrings, kahit 5 pesos lang siya or if mayaman kayo hehe... kahit ano basta HIKAW! Adek na ako! wahaha...

2. BANGLES! hehe... bagong craze! I don't know but it started when Jobel and I bought the same piece of wristwatch (pink nga lang yung sa kanya and red yung akin). Then ayun, napadungaw ako sa mga bangles and BOOM! Hehe...

3. I'm still Wishing for this. Ginawa ko na ito nung 18th birthday ko, when I said I want them to give me a PERFUME kasi I'm just wondering kung ano sa tingin nila yung nagay na scent sa akin. hehe...

4. A NICE JOURNAL! yepz... I kinda miss writing on journals kasi since I'm already addicted to THIS blog... I miss my doodles and glittery artworks. Somehow, a beautiful piece of journal might motivate me to write again but please, not to leave this blog... haha! I have to wait pa until xmas! Pathetic!

5. Lastly, a CD filled with MUSHY Songs... hehe... Tignan ko lang kung alam nio yung taste ko... haha!
Ayun... so, you still have more than 3 months to prepare! Hahahahahah...

Congratulations to us -Gee

I'll be the biggest hypocrite if I'll say that I am very surprised to be in BIG 4. Hehe... Anyway, congratulations to us...

To Ate Ann, it's very sad to see you leave this game having my vote. I hope you'll understand my reason. I'm sorry if ever I've offended you. I wish this is not the end of our ym conversation, text messages and our friendship. You're one of the VH that I really treasure and I'll cherish every single moment I've communicated with you. Paano pa kaya kung nagkita tayo sa UP noon noh? I believe you're a great friend Ate. I'll wait till the next time you'll be in UP.

Since Benj had already extracted his juices, I think it's time for me to thank them (Benj and Charles) for the offer they made to join in their alliance. I know I was not in your FIRST choices... hehe... Though I know you're not regretting it for it worked! Haha! I believe that's one of the factors that brought me here in BIG 4... Thanx guyz!

Having our diary posts as bases, it seems that all of us are not expecting to be the BIG WINNER. But I know all of us want to be the BIG WINNER... There's a difference, anyhow. Being predicted by my co-vh to be the BIG winner and by just stating that I deserve it are such compliments for me. However, we can't still foresee what will happen, for the same process of eviction will occur. What will be each VH's basis upon picking who's who is the BIG inquisition.

To CHARLES, KUYA REX AND KUYA BENJ; hehe... I can't imagine na magkakalaban tayo... I'm actually running out of words to say, basta, goodluck sa atin! Sabi nga ni Benj, KICK ASSS FINAL FOUR! hehe... I love you guyz!

So, I wonder what's in the store for us in our last 10 days of stay here in the Virtual House. I'm expecting an exigent activity!

Again, goodluck!

Charles to Rex: It was just that I got irritated

I know why you did vote me, and that's not because of the differences of our Alma Mater. It was just that I got irritated when you specify that it would be great to have the Top 4 from UP. Anyway, I also acknowledge the fact that we did not correspond, other than this!

And I would like to say sorry for the "gonzales" word. I know I offended you and other UP students who follows our journey. Tama si Gee, I should not have used that!

Mayabang ako, okay lang yun -Rex

To Charles, you didn't have to be offended by my reason, so you didnt have to be that sensitive and defensive about it. My MAIN reason was because you were the least close VH to me, and im sure you feel the same. so kung ikaw ang matanggal, magandang coincidence lang na UP ang mga matitira. I didn't say that just because you are not from UP, you dont deserve to be in the BIG 4. neither did i say that PNU sucks. Bawal bang ipag-cheer na 'astig kung UP lahat ng BIG 4'?

If you think you deserve to be in the BIG 4, good for you. i actually think so too. i just didnt use that criteria when i decided whom to vote out. i had a personal reason, a reason of which i know you understand, kasi nga, sa loob ng 90 days, hindi natin nakuhang mag-usap. the reason maybe personal but it sure as hell doesnt include me thinking that students from schools other than UP suck. Sinabi ko lang na astig kaming UP, pero HINDI KO sinabing OLATS ka dahil hindi ka UP.

And Gee is right, the Gonzales issue os totally unrelated. so if you had to strike back, use something related. Sabihin mo nang mayabang ako, okay lang yun, kasi nga namisunderstood mo yung reasons ko. But to generalize everyone else is a no-no.

Akalain mo -Rex

From someone who's been considering quitting this game, i am surpised im even included in the BIG 4.

To te ANN, alam mo hindi ko alam kong sinadya mo bang ivote yung Ex-VH para mainvalidate ang ballot mo. Because if you're ballot was valid, then I would be the automatic evictee.

Hindi ko rin alam kung pasasalamat ba ako, hehe. Kasi okay na kasi sa akin na nakarating ako ng Top 5. I had no expectations from this game in terms of prizes. I tried to enjoy what if offers even if it came to a point it was so boring and pointless for me that I wanted to quit.

to BENJ, haha! kumampi lang ako kay Gee, haha! o kitams, nakalusot pa ako sa BIG 4. at hindi ako naoffend na ako vinote mo, hehe. hindi ko sinasabi ito para lang mag-mukhang pogi at sport sa inyong lahat. i am really not offended. astig nga yung dahilan mo eh.. =p

to GEE, obviously, ikaw ang pinaka kaclose ko kasi pinaka madalas kita maka-chat at maka-text. too bad, nagsimula ang game nung may pasok na, yan tuloy, iilan lang kayong nakausap ko nang maayos. kung bakasyon lang tong game, sus, mas nakarir ko siguro ito with you.

to CHARLES, ayan, wala tayo dapat problema, kahit hindi tayo close. hindi ka bobo just because PNU ka at hindi UP. deal with it. pero masisisi mo ba ko kung pag-chicheer ko pa rin ang UP? hindi naman diba? masisisi ba kita kung ipagmalaki mo ang PNU? syempre hindi.. sana gets mo na yun..

BBK, so how does the last few days work? how do we vote? haay... akalain mo, patapos na pala ito.. =)

The Game as I saw it -Benj

Let's see how this pans out.

I think it's obvious by now that the triumvirate got through easy. I think we were never in any real danger. Rex had a scare, though.

Frankly, Im surprised at the level of integrity of the people in the game. It's not really "integrity" since I wouldnt have seen them as inferior people had they voted me out, but considering the strategic aspect of the game that just shouted the need to vote me out, it's such a surprise to survive the final eviction process. Funny as hell. How did that happen?

I thank those people. But at the same time, Im quite perplexed.

Charles - I have no idea how to rate his game. Much of his maneuverings have either been a) done in a very covert manner of b) non-existent. Charles pretty much did what Gee and I did - stick to a solid bloc and ride it out until the end. It worked. Now what?

Rex - Again, I didnt see his game. He seems like a major freelancer to me who made it through the game without a solid ally. It's very commendable and Im sure he wouldve been an interesting player had there been better competitiveness from the people here.

Gee - Gee is the overwhelming favorite. Im really bent on thinking that there's only one person in the Big 4 who has a realistic chance of beating her - and that's a very LONG shot. It ultimately depends on how the winner will be determined.

Benj - I came into this WANTING to play tough and rough. It was largely unnecessary and I cruised to the final 4 even with a giant target on my back, thanks in part to a bungled use of the immunity option. The players I played with were too decent to vote me out. It's amazing considering I wasn't even making my presence felt in the game. I guess I gained a lot of cred early into the game.

I tried to play a political game and a lot of people were actually put off when I tried to play sides and already build alliances early into the game. I remember trying to convince Cathe that we were going all the way to the final the first time we talked. hehe. I talked to Charles and Gee on the prospect of not getting booted first and having bets off once we reached the final 5.
--

If it's a "public" vote, it's quite clear that its going to be Gee vs Charles all the way.

If it's an ex-VH vote, it's going to be Gee by a landslide and myself dead last.

If it's a Big 4 vote off, I see it becoming a lot closer with Gee still pulling it out.

---

To sum it all up, I guess this wouldve been the Final 4 that people wouldve predicted from Day 1. I knew my alliance would hold through all the evictions given the inactivity of the other players. It was well executed. I guess I deserve some credit. Wehehe.

Good luck everyone. Let's see what happens.

DAY EIGHTY-NINE
Congratulations to the Big Four!

First time in the history of PBBFG that the final four VHs are composed of 3 males and only 1 female. Benj, Charles Rex and Gee have only 10 days left inside the virtual.

Who will be the third Big Winner?

Twinkle Twikle Belle ng Bulacan is the 9th Evictee

Ann's ballot was invalidated and received additional +2 evicting points to the +4 evicting points she had received during the 8th Nomination.

Rex got +2 evicting points plus +2 penality points after finishing last, along with Benj, in PBB Fantasy Game KNB. Benj received -2 saving points but the penality he and Rex received were irrevesible.

Charles received +2 evicting points however he used his Immunity. Gee got -2 saving points.

Summary:

Whew, I survived?! -Benj

Insane!!!
Totally insane! Hahaha.

I'll be finishing second for sure.
Congrats to Gee in advance. haha

I'm soooooooooo sorry! -Gee

Charles! I'm sorry! Nawala sa isip kong may codenames pa pala tayo... And since 5 na lang tayo, super daling hulaan kung sino yung tao behind that codename... Sorry talaga! Hindi ko intensiyong ibuko ka, promise! I'm very very sorry!

However,,, sana po, if na-offend ka sa reasons ni Kuya Rex, sana po hindi mo pinasok yung GONZALES issue... It's a serious one. And in fact, ang layo ng ginawa ni Kuya Rex doon sa sinabi ni Gonzales... That Gonzales is an ultimate irrationable bastard! I believe your more intelligent than him... Oh, don't get me wrong ah... Si Gonzales yung iniinsulto ko dude! hehehe...

Ayun,,, again, sorry talaga! Gusto kong makabawi sau,,, just tell me how! I'm soooooooooo sorry!

Ann blogs: My mom

I could no longer contain this feeling. after yesterday's happening, i just wish i could share it to someone who would be able to understand me. sometimes, i think my mom does not like me. she does not appreciate all my efforts to please her. she has her most preferred children, and i often feel i was the least preferred. four days before my daddy died, my mom and i had a fight over some petty issue. about keeping my two puppies inside the house. i saved them from a vacant lot adjacent to our house during a hard rain. they were crying for days and it seemed they were out with no protection. i had climbed the 4 feet fence to save them. one morning, i woke up with them no longer in the house. when i knew it, mommy gave them out already. she did not want the puppies inside the house because of the poopoo, which i used to clean laboriously. i was hurt when she gave them away without letting me know. i was mad too, and my then rebelling heart because of her favoritism soon gave up. i left home without letting them know, and spent four days in a friend's house. when i came back, i was silent. i did not talk to anyone and instead directed towards my room, and there just spent time crying. i did feel guilty for stowing away from the house for that long. i was good during the four days, and did not do anything bad or out of character. i had my pride, so i still did not come out to talk and ask forgiveness. the little dogs were precious to me. the next morning, i woke up early and was hearing them at the dining table laughing. i heard dad laughing too, and then suddenly, i heard my tita calling him out. he was having a stroke. i rushed down to see what was happening. i even saw daddy holding his chest. it was then that i came rushing to him. when i called him out and tried to rush to his side, he waved out his hands to signal me not to come near him. he no longer survived the stroke because it was his third.

I could not stop blaming myself for what had happened. he was having problems then on one of the school and i felt i added to his burden . i love my dad, and sometimes admitted i was more of a daddy's girl. i found it a real struggle to get in to my mom's liking, after all that had happened. i had to support her because at the time i would be the eldest child in the house while my kuya was pursuing his law studies. so i did try my best to please her without having the issue patched up. it was hard and too often we would have misunderstandings and skirmishes which could last three days or even a week. at worst, even 3 weeks or a month. that was really a hard time for me. when i was 23, i attempted to be independent by living in an apartment for three months. some 10 minutes ride from our house. but then i came back because of her. i did not do anything bad when i was living alone. in fact, it was also painful for me not to be with them. i thinned. that was the time when i gave her a pair of lovebirds, my way of saying i am sorry. now, we have 6, and another pair of latinos was bought by her just last week. we also have this talkative bird named mines (we don't know if the bird is a female or male but then we name it that) who can now babble many words like tao po! in variating pitch and tones, kumain ka na ba?, and sometimes even the cry of our dog bawnie. when i got back home, i knew i had to accept few things. i was not the favored child, and that she was used to me having catered to my own needs and problems co'z since i was 19 i used to be independent from them, emotionally and financially. i was sleeping in a separate room and bed since i was in grade 2, and that made me think before i was different from my brothers and sisters. i could say i was stronger, so i was really the right one to help and support my mom in everything in absence of kuya. i did help even if i was not favored. but sometimes the same heroic and sacrificial act would be the reason of my sadness. i would sometimes feel the break in my heart. like yesterday afternoon, i was talking to my younger brother over a petty issue. this time it was not about dogs. she was at his side.

In spite of all that happen, i love my mom. i love her more each day kahit hindi na nya malaman. but somehow i wished she could appreciate all the things i was doing for her.

What kind of excuse is that? -Charles

This is the 2nd time Im going to talk about Nomination....

Its quite confusing, tama si Gee... sino talaga ang maaalis? Gee! binuko mo ako... Yes... Ive used my immunity, since I cant use it pagdating sa Big 4... (remember the rule on immunity?) So this is my final chance to use my immunity.

Since I used my immunity, I am sure of a slot in the final 4, but I am not expecting to be the big winner, so its upto the 3, benj, gee and the unidentified last person! I am very happy to reach this part.

As for Rex... what kind of excuse is that? Mas tatanggapin ko pa sana yung sinabi mo na hndi tayo close, kasi totoo naman un, hndi pa naman tayo nag-usap sa YM or sa kahit ano... but for the "Tsaka para astig, UP lahat ng BIG FOUR, if ever.". Kahit hndi ako taga-UP, i think I deserve to be in the 4... iskolar din ako ng bayan! PNUan ito! Guro ng bayan! Mukhang tama nga si gonzales (oooppsss....)

To Ann: thanks for your vote to save me... and sorry kung ikaw ang kailangan kong iboto... anyway, ive explained naman yung votes ko!

I just thought that If I am immuned, then it's not a fair fight -Gee

First of all, I would like to thank the two peepz who saved me (strategically or not)... and I would also like to thank those who saved me last week....

Honestly, I'm really dying to see who's the 9th Evictee because this week's results is quite confusing in a way you can't assume who is the one who'll be forced to leave.... Ate Ann got +4 evicting points, although she used her immunity, her ballot is invalidated. Having an invalid ballot means all the entries are not qualified right? Is she still immuned? If yes, Kuya Rex will be the next evictee for Charles used his immunity....

IMMUNITY..... I intended not to use that this week. I also expect them doing the same but 2 VHs tried to be immuned. I just thought that If I am immuned, then it's not a fair fight. This nomination will determine the people who'll collectively hold a renowned title, the BIG 4. And I wanna be in BIG 4 without the help of that immunity. I'll be more gratified...

Ay! Anyway, we did some activities, I believe there are still reward and penalty points so, for now, we can't still foretell the 8th evictee.

Goodluck to us!

BTW, Congratulations Charles for winning the PBB Fantasy Game Ka Na ba. Astig ka talaga!

Resuts of the 8th Nomination

"Multimedia Speaker": bbk, first of all, i want to use my IMMUNITY

I want to evict ann, because she is a big threat to me as the big 4. I know that she deserves to be in the final 4 and maybe as the big winner, because she usually blogs, updates her diary, participate in the activity. But strategically, she needs to go. I dont want to offend her or something by voting for her, pero malakas ang personality nya na, i think, baka hndi lang kami magkasundo.

I want to save benj, because i know he really deserves to be in the Big Four. Kahit na hndi siya mapa-blog ngayong panahon na ito, hindi lang blog at diary updates ang basehan ng paggiging big 4, at maaaring big winner din. Alam kong malakas ang personality nya, but i think, we compliment each other, kaya siguro madali kaming magkasundo.


"Corps Commanders Succk": I'm giving my -1 saving point to Benj. Yes, he's the least active this week for he rarely blogs and he seldom participates in our activities BUT I believe that this season's BIG 4 is not up to standard without him. His presence is a must for BIG 4. Go Benj!

For my +2 evicting points, this is the most difficult decision I've made in this game. All of us are really deserving but there's a Virtual Housemate who's at my bottom for I think that in the remaining players, this VH has the lowest profile. No offense, it's a very hard-hitting choice because we're all interesting. You've said not to shower you with insulting words, you really don't deserve that because you're the nicest player in this game. However, it's not enough. I'm voting for Ann.


"Implement Project": This nomination is tough, but at the same time easy. I expect the final five to be very intelligent people and since I'm the only one who has no immunity at this point, I anticipate all of them using their immunity for this nomination. The reason why the kept it for so long was to use it this week, right? So it's going to be a major lapse/ failure to vote that will save me from CERTAIN eviction.

This obviously reflects a major flaw in the gameplay, no thanks to the immunity option that is horrendously powerful.

For the sake of argument, let's just assume that my vote actually matters.

I'm voting for REX. Why? Because I think among the four other people who are in the top 5, he's the most likely to be unable to vote. HAHAHAHA. That's my only chance so hopefully REX gets so busy and fails to check game announcements. How pathetic is that? Me wanting someone to be too busy to vote. HARHARHAR. So there. Rex, I hope you forget. :p

Im saving Gee. Why? Pure strategy. Gee is the most unlikely evictee today and saving the other 3 could be throwing away my chance to be in the Big 4. Im voting for you because you dont need my saving. With me gone, Im quite sure you're a shoo in for the title of Big winner.

COME ON PEOPLE! DONT VOTE!!! HAHAHA.


"Mossimo": I want to evict CHARLES, because he is the least closest to me. Tsaka para astig, UP lahat ng BIG FOUR, if ever. But not that Charles isn't smart, because I think he is.

I want to save GEE, because not only does she deserve to be in the BIG FOUR, she deserves to be the BIG WINNER even.


"Nancy": I will give my -1 saving point to charles dahil kahit minsan hindi ko pa cya na-save. so eto na.

My +2 evicting points to the ex-co VH who finds time to look for our celeb look alikes..hahahaha! i realized kamukha pala ni nancy c jonathan buencamino ng introvoys kaya ok lang na kamukha ko na din cya.

I will use my immunity. [ANN's ballot is invalidated for assigning her evicting points to an ex-VH]

DAY EIGHTY-EIGHT
Charles wins PBB Fantasy Game KNB!

Rex blogs: Life According to Meredith Grey 2

A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. “Never leave that until tomorrow”, he said, “which you can do today.” This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more of us would listen to what he had to say. I don’t know why we put things off. But if I had to guess, it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of pain, fear of rejection. Sometimes the fear is just of making a decision because, what if you’re wrong, what if you’re making a mistake you can't undo.

"The early bird catches the worm."
"A stitch in time saves nine."
"He who hesitates is lost."

We can't pretend we haven’t been told. We’ve all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still, sometimes, we have to see ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today’s possibility under tomorrow’s rug, until we can't anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing, is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the most intractable mistake, beats the hell out of never trying.

It's ironically true, isn't it? That even if we know by our own and other's experience that certain actions have certain adverse consequences, we still do them anyway.

We keep on cramming for our exams, even if the past 10 exams we crammed did not produce any passing results. Why can't we just study at least a week before, even just part by part.
We keep on stalling instead of doing what we need to do, only to promise to not do it again in the end when we realize we have no time even to sleep just because a lot still needs to be done. Why can't we just immediately do what needs to be immediately done?
We keep on denying things even if we know that in the end, we would eat our own words and admit it anyway. Why can't we just swallow our pride, retain some dignity left and just be done with it?
We keep on doing foolish things, sometimes even to the utmost disapproval of even our friends. We've learned the lessons many times before, why can't we just say 'no'?

Yes, we need to make our own mistakes. But do we have to repeat the same mistake over and over and over and over... again? I think that inside all of us, is a masochist, hehe.. =p

DAY EIGHTY-SEVEN
Charles blogs: Sensitive Guy

One of the most loyal readers of my blog is a woman called ‘angeluz’. Although she doesnt regularly comment on the blog, she usually sends me a word that she had already read my blog. “Angeluz” is a member of ABS-CBN forums, where we met, although we dont know each other personally, aside from a some bits, I gave her my trust and confidence.

Yesterday, we had a talk about my blogpost ‘Tears and Rains’, I dont want to explore much more, but Im giving you some transcripts of what we talked about:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Angeluz: I saw your latest entry sa blog mo ha…

Charles: nanonood lang ng TV Patrol… how do you find my post?

Angeluz: ahmmmm…. fascinating.. as alwaysss…
ahemmm… galing ko mambola noh..
but seriously… okay naman sya charles..
and…. sensitive guy ka talaga…
keep it up… rare na ang ganyan eh..

Charles: can you pls expound the “sensitive guy” part!

Angeluz: ava.. at hingan ako ng explanation…hmmmm lemme see..
I mean… some guyzz kase acts tough…or claims to be tough..
but you!! your not anxious to admit that you like watching
teleseryes or admit that you are in tears while watching your favorite series…
and… di ka afraid to let people know na emotional ka din… satisfied???

Charles: ahhh….ok…
actually, yun din ang sinabi ng cooperating teacher ko…
kasi minsan, nagkamali ako ng turo sa mga students ko…
so, napagsabihan ako…
and then, all of the sudden, ewan ko,
napaiyak ako…
kaya parang nagulat sakin yung CT ko…
diba… sobrang emotional ko…

Angeluz: anu ka ba charless….
sobrang emotional ka talaga… see.. tama pala reading ko sa
personality mo…..
anyweizz… wala naman masama dun…
but sometimes you need to control your emotions… you can’t
be too emotional na lang palagi diba.. don’t take everything
seriously… just learn from it… oki doks…
but I’m glad inadmit mo yan sa kin ha…
that means comfortable ka sa kin… thanks… (curtsy)

Charles: matagal ko na namang sinabi sau na comfortable ako sau diba?
anyway… ang alam ng friends ko ay tough person ako…
kaya nga kung nabasa mo yung blogpost ko na “Comparisons…”
I’ve given an overview of myself dun…

Angeluz: sinabi mo ba yun?? parang ako yata ang nag-sabi sayo nun ah…
but thanks DIN… for being comfortable with me…
you can count on it… kahit anu pwede mong sabihin..with
free psychoanalysis pa… free service yan ha…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So kayo na ang bahalang maghusga! Hehehe, naku, baka ma-mis-interpret na naman ako!

Look-alikes by Benj

Obviously, not a lot of thought went into this activity. lol.

i always get a lot of "uy, kamukha mo si..." comments. It ranges from celebrities, people they see around, people they used to be classmates with etc. It actually reached a point wherein people actually pull me aside to have their pics taken next to me after our gigs - ipapakita daw nila sa kakilala nila na kamukha ko. It's quite amusing, but it's also quite frustrating that my look is so generic. hehe.

As I said earlier, it ranges from the flattering (some people actually think I have a passing resemblance to Colin Farrell - amazingly, my *better-lookingbrother also gets this a lot. so I guess there has to be some basis. haha). Ok - Rico Robles (no thanks to my cousins), Mr. Hahn (and Im using that now) - I hate Linkin Park, but yeah, I do see why people would insist on the resemblance.

And of course, I also get the downright WTF! The funniest has been the late George Estregan. HAHAHAHA. Very funny. Tado? You could that's more borne out of bitterness. It's our bassist who looks like Tado.

rounding it up:

Gee - Cristina Ricci
Ann - Zayra Alvarez (RSN)
Rex - Tubby Thompkins
Charles - Cong. Crispin Remulla

8th Nomination starts

Nomination runs from Tuesday (12:01pm) until Thurday (11:59pm). Each VH must submit his/her ballot with explanation why he/she votes against and for a particular VH (minimum of 3 sentences). VHs who failed to nominate before the deadline shall automatically receive 5 point "to evict" votes. VHs with invalid ballots will no longer be notified and will automatically receive a +2 penalty points.

A new codename is needed for every Nomination. Choosing nominees through lottery is prohibited.

PBB Fantasy GAME KNB resumes

Crucial indeed -Benj

Im feeling real bad about not being able to post here lately. heck, ive been so busy my blog has been in a derelict state for weeks now. There has been a lot of stuff going on - and a lot of it wouldve been amazingly bloggable --- but time has just not permitted me to gather my thoughts and pour my ideas online.

Im somehow surprised with the results of the trust activity, but come on, how can i possibly question trust? Its either you get it or not right, asking for it/ wanting it would be stupid. Im quite surprised with the level of integrity that this game has been played. There has been no blindsing at all! Corny. Hehe. I was expecting to be the sly, slippery traitor who would stab everyone in the back, but amazingly, it wasnt necessary to get this far.

My number may be up this week, but I'm quite content with how far Ive gone. I dont see myself winning anyway. Obviously, a lot of my brownie points rests on my blogging skills and how I (used to) blog on topics not usually discussed. Now that Im barely blogging, there's barely anything that people could use to justify me winning this thing. Im not exactly the friendliest one of the bunch, but its great that the other four people are probably the four people Ive talked to the most in this game.

Im quite impressed with how Rex and Ann have played the game so far. They have gone this far without the help of an overt alliance. Gee totally deserves it and Charles is not far behind.

But seriously, I dont see myself falling out before the Final 4. It's not my call though. hehe.

DAY EIGHTY-SIX
Rex blogs: So much for being a Justice Secretary

While I was having lunch, I decided to read the Sunday paper. And after the usual news about the oil spill in Guimaras, page A5 of the Philippine Daily Inquirer screams in front of me, "Gonzalez: UP breeds destabilizers, naked runners"

The moment I finished the piece, I knew I won't take it lying down. So as if forwarding our dear Justice Secretary's bold yet stupid statement isn't enough, here I am, blogging my 2nd ever political piece. =p

Obviously, I was offended by the statement. It teems with utmost unfairness.

I'm not going to deny that yes, UP does produces most of the activists, young and old alike in our society today. He may have made it clear that 'he's not assailing the entire university population because “there are many students there who are bright and good" '. But the thing is, he just did.

Raul Gonzalez has no right to judge the way UP breeds its students because he IS NOT from UP. The very same things he bashed about UP are the same things he will NEVER EVER understand because he never got to experience them, being a UST alumnus.

Does he know that in fact, a huge majority of the population don't attend these mobilizations because they'd rather attend to their academic affairs than shout tirades without offering any solutions to the government?

And what the hell was he talking about when he said, "He said this was not the way the students should repay the government for giving them a world-class education. “They should consider the fact that the state is the one paying for their schooling. Why fight the state? Why try to bring it down. I think some degree of gratitude should be there also,” he said.

What world class education was he talking about? Is he even aware that the same administration he is vouching for only grants half the budget of what the government schools need to even provide a decent education?

I may hate UST for winning the UAAP Cheerdance competition last year in a very controversial manner, but never did I seriously think the actual school and its students actually suck. Heck, even I once dreamt of being a Thomasian. I have friends at UST, I even know a lot smart bloggers from UST!

I am from UP but I am not a militant activist. I am not saying my fellow students who'd rather storm Malacanang with placards are wrong. It's just that I don't agree with their methods but I understand where their passion is coming from.

You see, that is one thing a UP student has -- passion for something he believes in. But in the process, he has respect for what other people are passionate about.

There is a reason why people like militant activists exist. Because injustice is everywhere and the administration does not seem to care. Just because the middle class do not heed the eternal calls for another People Power Revolution does not mean it is satisfied with the way things are handled by the administration.

What I hate the most about his statement is that he insinuates that we UP students don't love our country just because we are against the government. Does Gonzales know that in fact, UP encourages its graduates to contribute to the society, to help this country out? Is he not aware that it is actually love for country that fuels these activists to take it to the streets? Does he actually think that it is the activists' idea of fun to just shout endless calls for GMA's resignation? I may not agree with what they do, but even I cannot deny their love of the country. Last time I checked, electoral cheating, graft and corruption does not at all exhibit love of country.

Raul Gonzales, you are such a misinformed man. You don't know what you're talking about. i can't imagine how you could be a Justice Secretary when you have this so much bias in your system. I may have only taken 3 units of Philosophy, but it is more than enough to allow me to pinpoint the numerous fallacious statements you made, most especially the hasty generalizations. So by the rules of logic, you are an 'invalid' person, haha! =p

Nakuuu! Kasuklam ka talaga! Haha! Anlakas ng apog mo na sabihin yan, ni hindi mo ba naisip na andami mong kasama sa gobyerno na UP alumni na maaaring ma-offend sa mga sasabihin mo? And you even had the nerve to call yourself a UST alumnus. Haay, so does UST breed illogical biased generalizers? I don't think so. It's a shame really, you're behavior is unbecoming of a supposedly 'well-behaved' man.

Gee blogs: Philippine Idol... Aug. 27 Episode...

Wow! There are lots of "I can't believe it" events... Really!

I didn't finished the episode last week so I was really laughing out loud when I saw YOVA, the tranny in PI, w/ his GUY GROUPMATES... Haha! Ang sagwa! But, Hmmm... I kinda think that it's unfair for his part, the range of his voice is in female's... Yung isang transgen naman kasi na si PAULA, female din naman yung range ng voice niya so it's okay. Oh hell, he made it naman so okay lang ;)

Then, as I've said in my last post, I saw some contestants there na contestants na rin ng ibang singing contest ( Marinel Santos, OJ Mariano, SHAKE) and even a pro, si DIVO. Hmmm... Why is that? Anyway, surprisingly, WALANG NAKAPASOK SA KANILA! Gravity! Si Marinel naman kasi, errr.... Infairness, I really love her voice... may pagka Christina Aguilera na may pagka Lani Misalucha... ang galing niyang mag-control ng voice! Grabe... Sana naging VOICE na lang siya kasi honestly, nung nasa STAR IN A MILLION pa lang siya, asar na talaga ako sa kanya... Kinakarir niya kasi si Papa Christian and Si Papa Erik... And hanggang sa PI ba naman ay nagmamaldita parin... Hay naku.. I believe, fault niya kung bakit nagkalat yung group niya.... tsk..tsk... And for OJ naman, wala lang! Ganun aprin kasi eh... Boring parin! And for DIVO... hehe... i like his rendition pa naman of SOMEWHERE IN MY PAST... Hay, PI is not for you... sorry!


Last... waaahh... si Marky Stroem.. Sayang naman... Siya pa naman yung MOTIVATION ko para manood ng Philippine Idol (haha.. ganun?). His parents want him to continue his studies. Siyeett.. Kawalan talaga siya! Sadness!

Eto nga pala siya... hehe

So ayun,,, feeling ko, I'll be addicted sa P.I. Mas okay pala kapag sariling atin! hehe...

un lng!

;p

This next nomination is the most crucial of all -Charles

Its already day 85, and i think is hould be making this diary post days before, but here goes. with 15 days to go and 5 VHs left, the game has changed, very much! Allainces were made, though, i dont think any of the VH suspected that they have connive with each other, the sole purpose of that is to make one invicinble for eviction. Though, I am not saying that there is really a formal allaince, not that I am aware of it!

The game roughly changed from boring to exciting with the "trust activity", although i havent been voted as the most trusted, i think i am not the least trusted among the VHs. Gee and Ann, on the other hand, made peopl believe who they are, now that 15 days are left, they are big threat to anybody, even to themselves!

The last nomination, where Ron got evicted, were not a surprise, with Gee cancelling Ron's immunity, she made Ron the most susceptible among the VHs. That thinking, VH really voted him out! Now this next nomination is the most crucial of all, since this will determine the Big Four!

Woho -Ann

Woho, it's my codename. when i was voting kc yun ang narinig ko sa kanta sa radyo. hahaha. tamad na ko mag-isip. di naman siguro nag-react c benj when he knew next to ron, he's my least trusted vh. but then knowing how charles and gee see me, nagkaroon ng change sa pagtingin ko sa kanila (heheh). but then nasa puso ko pa rin sila. i will be benj's most loyal co-vh in here. c charles, haven't saved him in any nomination. when the game started, i told myself i wud want charles to win. but the game tide is changing at hindi ko pa cya uli nakakausap. i thought he enjoyed our chats, very intellectually stimulating. 15 days to go, ang bilis! i believe PBBFG is life changing. bcoz of it, natuto ko mag-blog. if ever i will not be in the big four, ok lang, just evict me with graceful words (heheh) pls no insults. i will be happy to see anyone of them become the big winner and runners-up.

Yung sa two stories ko, i really intended to make it confusing but not malabo. am sorry. like emijheiy and ron, i had also a experience where a woman confided to me her feelings! that time i had no boyfriend, and i was already suffering the depression brought by singularity. but then i could not really imagine a relationship with another girl. it was really flattering, biro mo may nakaka-appreciate syo na girl din. pero i was not really into it. i wud like to share her letter to me which i kept, and also my response. pero sa ibang araw na lang dahil inaantok na ko. good nyt!
