Tanghai na ako nakarating sa lagoon kanina para sa batch interview. tatlo kais ang buddies ko ngayon. Sina james at lovely by grace at janis by izzay. La lang. At saka matagal an rin akong tambay sa bahay. So at least nakaalis na rin ako.
Pagdatig ko doon, nag-uumpisa na sila sa sa preamble thingy. Dios mio. La lang. Si lovely nga humabol pa from final exam sa math 53. Buti na lamang sa AS siya nag-exam. E ako di pa kumakain ng lunch kaya gutom ako. Wala naman akong mayaya. Kami ni marvy umakyat na lang sa puno. Medyo umuulan kaya lumipat na lanag sa Quezon Hall. Naghahanap pa nga ng permit si manong guard. Kailangan raw kasi ng permit pag more than 10 ang tao.
tapos lumipat pa sa math para ipagpatuloy ang dapat gawin. buti na alnag gutom sina leslie at jhayee kaya may nakasama akong kumain. Dapat nga sa NISMED kami pero sarado kaya sa math na lang. Din a rin ako kumain kundi shake an lang.
Tapos, tumuloy na kami sa pinagdarausan ng batch interview. In fairness, dumating si Judith para magbigay ng initation para sa debut niya sa sabado. Wish ko lang di ba? E di pa nga ako sigurado kung makakapunta ako. Wala kais akong pera,e. Tsaka ang init-init. Nakakatamad lumabas. Dumating rin si deng at siyempre nakalimutan niya na namana ng mimi cd ko. Matagal-tagal rin naman ang ginawa nila. Naglalaro pa nga kami ng habulan, e.
Nang matapos na sila sa ginagawa, pumunta na kami sa MB Parkign lot na malapit sa physics bldg. Nagkwentuhan na lang kami doon. Kasi naman ang tagal-tagal nila. Dapat nga patatapusin pa nina gelaide. hans at deng ang batch interview e may gagawin pa si deng kaya maaga silang umalis. Ako naman hinintay ko pa si isay. Nagkasabay kasi kami papunta sa school at sabi niya pupunta raw siya sa interview pagkatapos ng project na gagawin niya with icko. Sobrang late na nga siya dumating, e. Pinatapos pa nga namin ang batch interview. Siguro mga 10:30 na iyon nang matapos at tinahak naming ang daanan papuntang vinzon’s sa CHE. Buti nga nakasakay kami agad ng jeep papuntang jollibee-philcoa. Masyado na talaganag gabi. 11:30 na kami nakaalis ng McDo at siguro mga 1 AM na ako nakauwi ng bahay kanina. Ang saya, di ba?

Song For The Moment

"Desperado"


Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?

You been out ridin' fences for so long now

Oh, you're a hard one

I know that you got your reasons

These things that are pleasin' you

Can hurt you somehow



Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy

She'll beat you if she's able

You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet



Now it seems to me, some fine things

Have been laid upon your table

But you only want the ones that you can't get



Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger

Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home

And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'

Your prison is walking through this world all alone



Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?

The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine

It's hard to tell the night time from the day

You're losin' all your highs and lows

Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?



Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?

Come down from your fences, open the gate

It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you

You better let somebody love you, before it's too late

Back to McDo with Deng

Start na ngayon ng FOPC tambay sa Vinzons'. Sobrnag init talaga. Hindi ko na matiis kaya nagpunta na lang ako sa sm north kasama sina irene, ean at lovely. Napabili tuloy ako ng bookmark. Dalawa nga ang binili. Binabasa ko kasi ngayon ang Silmarillion at medyo natutuwa ako. Feeling ko nga dito nakuha ang concepts ng elemental gems ng encantadia. Feeling ko lang naman, e.
Nakakatawa nga ng genmit dahil parang napakainformal. Konti kasi ang tao tapos si gelaide pa ang nag-preside. Si Bato nga ang nag-lead ng prayer, e. Wish ko lang di ba? Dumating nga si deng kaya naman nag-mcdo kami s ahi-way. Si nga iniissue pa ako kay jhayee. Dios mio!!
Late na nga ako nakauwi kaya medyo last parts na lang ng PBB ang naabutan ko. May itsura naman silang lahat at may personality naman. Tinatamad akong ilarawan sila kaya naghanap na ang ako ng scans sa net. hehehe.

Meet the Teen PBB housemates

By Jerry Donato
The Philippine Star

The new Pinoy Big Brother housemates for its teen edition are showbiz material, judging from their looks and the way they project on the small screen. Most of them come from reputable schools like Ateneo, Assumption and Colegio de San Agustin.

This batch is ABS-CBN’s answer to young talents who transferred networks or opted for co-management. The new housemates could give ABS-CBN’s teen idols a run of their money.

The housemates were chosen from over 300,000 teenaged applicants from the nationwide preliminary auditions where the show’s Business Unit Head Laurenti Dyogi personally hand-picked the present batch.

The guy believed to be Kuya, himself doused cold water over the rumors, preferring not to be visible these days to prove his point.

Dyogi has distanced himself from interviews or promos of the auditions, which has produced eight housemates from Metro Manila, three from Davao and one from Cebu. Their identities were revealed in a party cum show last Sunday with new hosts Mariel Rodriguez (in charge of the primetime telecast) and PBB Celebrity Edition runner-up Bianca Gonzalez (Uplate and Update).

The teen housemates will be grounded for six weeks with tasks to fulfill every day and every week. On June 3, the new winner will emerge and take home a P1-M grand prize.

So let’s roll the red carpet and meet the teen housemates one by one:

• Gerald Anderson, 17, is an American boy from General Santos. He is your typical boy-next-door who loves basketball. He considers the sport his life and passion. As PBB housemate, he hopes to learn all the house chores Kuya will give him. His edge over the others, says Gerald, is his being true to himself.

•Niña Atienza, 17, comes from Assumption Convent. A dead-ringer for Iya Villania, Niña describes herself as one who is sosyal outside but jologs inside. According to her, she joined PBB for two reasons: to help her family’s finances and prove something for herself.

• Mikee Lee, 16, is an Atenean. He not only has good looks, but the brains to match. The guy is a geek. His grade in Math is 99. The bemedalled student ranks fourth in his class and values education and family a lot.

• Kim Chiu, 16, is a Cebuana. She joined the reality show to help her family and be discovered as an actress. She acts, sings and dances.

•Bam Romana, 16, is the house clown. A Centro Escolar University student, Bam is playful and loves to crack jokes. Aside from winning, his mission is make his housemates and Kuya laugh and laugh.

• Olyn Membian, 16, is a gimikera. This fashionista loves to live it up. She is also into singing, dancing and acting.

• Fred Payawan, 17, has the build of a hunk. Tall, dark and handsome, this CAT (Citizen’s Army Training) officer at Colegio de San Agustin is into hosting and photography. Just like his military dad, he values discipline in mind, heart and body.

• Clare Cabiguin, used to join beauty contests to support her family in Bukidnon. Her ambition is to be part of showbiz.

• Aldred Gatchalian, 16, is another hunk. This class valedictorian from Parañaque is also a good cook. A good singer, Aldred says he’s not afraid of anything. So Kuya should be ready.

• Mikki Arceo, 18, takes pride in her independent-mindedness. She will do what she wants even if this doesn’t conform the beliefs of others. She says she has no pretentions.

• Matt Evans, 17, is a Boy 2 Quizon look-alike. His sharp features betray his Fil-Am lineage. Matt played a bit role in Kampanerang Kuba. He loves rock music.

• Jamilla Obispo, 18, is a single mom. She joined the show to raise funds for her son, who needs five operations to correct a cleft palate and cleft lip. Like all moms, she wants to give her son a normal life.

Judith's Debut

Kaninang umaga lang ako nakauwi galing sa debut ni Judith. Galign s abahay nila, naglakad kami nina isay, jhayee, franze, famay at lucky hanggang muñoz. Sina lucky at famay ay umuwi na habang kaming apat ay kumain sa jollibee. Matapos kumain, si franze ay humiwalay na sa aming tatlo na nag-bus naman. Medyo nakakapagod nga na tanghali na ako nagising. As in natulog ako pag-uwing pag-uwi ko. Nakakapagod talaga as in.
Sa totoo lang, di ako dapat pupunta. Nahiya lang ako kay Judith dahil din a nga makakapunta si deng, di ap ako pupunta? Wawa naman siya. Hehehe.
So kahap;on ng umaga, nag-isip na ako ng pwedeng iregalo. Dapat n gang puso ko, e. Ang problema may iba nang nagmamay-ari. Actually, kinuha niya na. So nag-isip ako ng something na pag nakita niya maaalala niya ako. Tipong bahagi iyonng pagkatao ko. Naisip ko lang ay ang movie ni Mariah na Glitter. Mura lang naman iyon, e. Saka P150 langa ng budget ko. Pamasahe nga hiningi ko pa sa nanay ko.
So nagputna akong market market hanggang ayala hanggang glorietta hanggang greenbelt para lang maghanap ng vcd. Nakakahiya ng dahil kapag nagtatanogn ako kung meron silang Glitter, pupunta sila sa audio cds. Sabay sasabihin ko na “Movie poi yon”. Tapos pag nalaman nila, “ah si Mariah Carey ang bida”. Nagmumukha tuloy akong fanatic kahit hindi naman. Buti nga nakakita ako sa Landmark. P100 lang. Dati nga may nakita ako na P50 lang sa National Bookstore. Buti na lang may nakita akong kopya dahil kung wala, naisip ko na bibili na alng ako ng glitters tapos ilalagay ko sa isnag box at ibabalot ko na lang.
Pag-uwi ko ibinalot ko pa. kahit para sa iba medyo malaswa ang pagkakabalot ko, sinubukan ko naman iyong polo na gift wrap e iba ang lumabas. Pero cute pa rin siyempre.
Actually, naghahanpa ako noon ng kasabay pero ang nangyari, ako na lang mag-isa ang pupunta hanggang Makita ko sa sm north sina alloy at lucky. Si alloy nga nasalubong kong nang magbibihis sana ako sa sm north comfort room. ASi lucky hinintay naming sa jollibee. At least, may nakasabay ako. Kinakabahan na nga ako noon dahil 7 o’clock na iyon e 7 ang call time na nakalagay sa invitation. Nakakahiyang magpaimportante lalo na kung hindi o masyadong kakilala iyong ibang nandoon. So niyaya ko silang mag-taxi e wala raw pera si aloy kaya napilitan na lang kaming mag-bus. Malapit lang naman sa sm north, e. Nakapunta na nga ako doon dati at medyo alam ko na ang lugar.
In fairness, nakarating naman kami nang ligtas. Sa labas nga ng gate, nakasabay pa naming sina jen, nats, onang, shalli na pawing new mems at damark. Sa loob naman, nakita ko si augie. Hindi kami masyadong close pero nag-hi naman ako sa kanya. Pasado 7:30 na yata iyon pero di pa nagsisimula. Wala pa nga gaanong tao, e. May tumawag kay augie so lumabas siya at hindi na siya bumalik. Marami an ring nagdatingan like ate dang, nikki, sancho, jhayee, gelaide, hans, aris, isay, james, ja, mark. Sina dudubs, franze, famay ibang bahay pa ang napuntahan. Anong oras na hindi pa rin nagsisimula so nagtawag na si kuya mon (bayaw ni Judith kay ate jo) na kumain na raw.
Tapos bigla akong tinawag ni ate jo (kapatid ni judith), pinapapunta raw ako ni judith sa itaas. Pag-akyat ko, andun si judith at nag-aayos na. Nautusan naman akong magpapirma ng papel sa mga roses kung ano ang kantang idededicate sa debutant if ever man meron. Medyo mahirap dahil kumakain na sila. Buti nalang tinulungan ako nina czerby at ella na pawang mga pamangkin ni tita judith. Medyo close kaming tatlo. Medyo FC ba?
Andun rin sina adrian at hazel. Sila ang emcees. So ganun na nga. Tapos konti pa ang nakapunta kaya kailangang ayusin ang roses at shots. Kahit sino na lang basta nandun. Buti nga dumating sina oj, jay, ayette, mean, kristel, bennett, macy at jenesis. Sila pa naman ang closest friends niya since high school. Tapos naging utusan pa ako nina ate jo para sa kantang ipapatugtog pag pababa na si hudith. Ako na nga ang pinapili at napag-uisapan na lang na "You're My You". Favorite naman niya iyon, e.
Sa wakas, nag-umpisa na ang party and all. After ng sayawan at speeches at least nakakain na ako. Pero konti na lang ang nakain ko dahil medyo na-overwhelm na ako sa mga pangyayari. nagsimula an silang magsayawan ng mga dance tunes na hindi ko maintindihan. Medyo ngarag na nga ako dahil pagod and all. In faiirness, ang kulit kulit ni adrian. Todo sayaw naman siya. Si hazel nga nananahimik na lang s aisnag sulok. So medyo napasayaw na rin ako. Si jhayee nga na galign sa overnight nila ng volleyball class at 2 hours lang daw ang tulog ay nakihalo na rin. Nagwala na talaga sila. Kanya-kanyang dance steps na ang ginawa nila. Pati tito ni judith sumayaw na rin at siyempre si sancho.
Actually,ang laks-lakas ng disco music nila. Dii naman talaga kami maka-relate sa mga kanta. Wala pang mimi songs like "heartbreaker", "Fantasy" or "Honey". Si gelaide nga medyo inaantok na. Kahit ako, e. Akala ko kasi hindi na kami magvivideoke. Kasi may videoke sila sa mendiola kung saan ilang beses na rin akong nakapunta at siyemrpe nakakanta. So iyong iba, nag-truth or dare na lang. In fairness, medyo game silang lahat. Siyempre may involve na inuman. Si sancho nga halatang may tama na ayaw pa ring matulog or something. May mga nag-cards pa rin as usual. Hanggang doon ba naman?
Tapos, biglang tumahimik ang paligid. Pinatay na iyong disco sounds sa labas. Tinawag ako ni jay na kapatid ni judith na magvideoke an raw kami. Bigla akong napa-cheer kaya nahiya tuloy ako. Kasi naman I'm so excited.
Nag maiset-up na iyong player nagparequest ako kay ja ng "Mr. Kupido". Song ko kasi iyon at that moment. Tapos kinanta ko ang "Somewhere Down The Road". Big Night kasi noon at in fairness si Keanna ang nanalo. Ano ang connection? Well, ito raw ang theme song nina zanjoe at bianca. La lang. Nakakhiya nga dahil nakatingin sa akin si ate tere ni judith. Siguroi nagstuhan ang boses ko. Siyemrpe ala-christian bautista sabi nila. Si sancho nga nakarami rin ng kanta. Actually, hindi ko na napansin na nakauwi na pala iyong iba. Sorry naman. Medron ngang kumanta ng "Biyahe tayo" ni lala reg at niilait ko. Di ko alam na hindi pala namin kilala iyogn kumnta. Me angd my big mouth. Siyempre nakarami ako ng kanta. Sina famay at franze nga nakailan rin. Tapos unti-unti nang nawala ang mga tao. Bahala sila basta kakanta ako. It's my time to shine. Hehehe.
Tuluy-tuloy lang ang kantahan hanggang 7 ng umaga. Siina lucky at adrian nag-last hirit pa. Nagising na nga sina kuya mon kaya medyo naengganyo na kaming umuwi. Medyo nakakahiya nga na di man lang kami nakatulog sa pagbawas ng kalay or anything. Eklat lang.
