Loyalty awarded by betrayal

Last night's non-eviction of Wendy Valdez showed us that we, the viewers, are not really the ones who has to power to choose who will get booted out.

Our first dose of disappointment came almost a week ago when despite the viewers' obvious hatred with Wendy, she did not get evicted. OKay, granting that Nel supporters became complacent, I gave it another chance. Come Thursday, Bruce got evicted. Okay, Wendy was still saved but at least it was him who got evicted. As we know all those who hate Wendy also hate Bruce. Worse for him is that he no longer has the supporters that Wendy has. SO finally, last night. Everyone was anticipating the exit of Wendy. We were all disappointed.

It was announced by Toni that last night's eviction was able to garner the most number of votes from all the PBB editions. Do they know the reason why? Because the whole PBB-watching Filipino community voted to get Wendy out. I for example, have watched all PBBs and other contests in ABS and never have I wasted precious money on voting. Not until I wanted Wendy evicted. I voted all the other 4 HMs more than I should, and I believe all those who hated Wendy tried to do as well. Despite our efforts though, she is still inside.

I am not discounting the fact that she still has supporters. But I doubt that they would be able to pool AT LEAST 717,484 votes (19.31%, IF she was the 4th lowest). Hear the people shouting "Wendy Labas". Truly, someone who is hated that much by the crowd should not be included in the Big 4. This shows us that the results truly were manipulated.

Manipulation may not have been done by ABS-CBN. If they are thinking of the show, of ratings, then they would not have let Wendy win becuase this would make the viewers angry, and totally lose interest in the show. It could have been done by a rich supporter (some would say DOM), a politician, a company, or a rival of ABS-CBN out to destroy the fan-base of the show. We can only guess.

The end-point is, we have tried to make the choice. The chance was given to us, we COULD VOTE; but the power was not, we COULD NOT EVICT.

So much for "Nasa inyong mga kamay kung sino ang mapapabilang sa Big Four...".

We have been loyal. We have supported the show, staying up late at night and voting. This is what we got in return.

We got betrayed.

Basura sa Loob at Labas ng Bahay

Nitong mga nakaraang linggo, baduy man kung baduy, pero saobrang nahumaling ako sa Pinoy Big Brother Season 2. Ang dahilan: Si Wendy.

For no reason whatsoever do I watch PBB religiously because I like her; in contrast, I watch it because I hate her so much.

The past few days, she had been attacking the sweet and gentle Gee-ann and Beatriz. ANg kapal ng mukha niya. Oops, sorry for my language.

Anyone who was able to see at least one of the last few episodes would more than likely share my sentiments. Nakakabwisit talaga siya. Walang tigil siya sa pagbitaw ng mga masasakit at mapanirang salita, sa pangaapi, sa pagpapakita ng kanyang masamang ugali. Haay, ayaoko na masyadong mgexpound dahil nabwbwisit lang ako.

Ngayon, lagi tuloy laman ng usapan sa bahay ang pagkabwisit namin kay Wendy. Miski nga sa news, pinapakita na bwisit ang buong Pilipinas sa kanya.

Sa isang banda nga ay naaawa ako sa kanya eh. Dahil ngayon pa lamang ay sobrang dami ng malisyoso at mapanirang balita tungkol sa kanya. Totoo man yun o hindi, pangit man ang pinapakita niya sa loob ng bahay, pakiramdam ko pa rin ay hindi nararapat na makalakal ang buhay niya kay=tulad ng nangyayari ngayon. Yun nga lang, ang lahat ng iyon ay kagagawan rin niya.

Tsk Tsk Tsk.

Puro basura kasi ang inilabas niya sa bahay eh, puro basura tuloy ang lumabas tungkol sa kanya.

Vacation Leave

Masarap magpahinga. Kahapon, inenjoy ko ang isa sa mga ipinagkaloob na VL sa amin. Wala naman akong espesyal na ginawa. Sinamahan ko lang ang aking mommy mamili ng materyales at nagpahinga sa bahay. Kahit ganoon, masayang-masaya ako sa akong naging pahinga. Nakalaro ko ang aking mga anak, nakapiling ang aking mahal na asawa, at syempre, nalayo panandalian sa trabaho.
Sa Lunes, naka-leave ulit ako. HIndi na ako makapaghintay. Hehehe.

I know. I am Ningas-Kugon.

I hate myself for being what you would call ningas-kugon. I start out on a project passionately, but somewhere in the middle, I lose my fire and stop.

Take this blogging for example. I have noticed that my posts have dwindled. Not that I don't want to write.It is just that i can't seem to. I really try, promise.. But I just cant.

Another example is my photography. I had really been into it. I bought a new camera, saved a lot of photography websites on my favorites, practiced a lot.. But now I have stopped taking pictures altogether.

Tsk tsk.

Thinking about it, I am inclined to blame it on my mediocre output. I mean, I am not proud of what i produce... sadly, not even satisfied.

I try and try, and yet I am unable to be the genius that I hope to be.

We could say I have very high expectations.

But I am more convinced that I just have very low potential.

Birthday

It's my birthday tomorrow.

I have nothing special planned, and maybe that is my fault. I am not really excited about my birthday; I have been asked sveral times about what I want to do, but there is nothing I could think of.

I wonder why?

I have always been religious when it comes to celebrating birthdays, anniversaries and special days. I used to believe that on those days, one needs to celebrate and feel special.

Now, I wonder what has changed?

Is it my age? Have I lost the enthusiasm that children exhibit?

Is it my disposition? Have I become too bored or burdened with life that I no longer want to celebrate it?

Or maybe I just like surprises.

Reklamo

Nakakaantok.

Ang hirap talaga kapag kailangan mong gumising ng alas-4 ng umaga.
Ang hirap magtrabaho kapag gusto mo lang matulog o magbabad sa iyong kama.

May bago ba? E mahirap naman talaga kumita ng pera.
O mahirap talagang magpaka-kuntento at mawalan ng reklamo sa buhay?

Siguro yung pangalawa. Tama na nga, hindi na ako magrereklamo. Tutal naman, mahal ko naman ang trabaho ko, ang mga katrabaho ko, at ang pinagtratrabahuhan ko.

E bakit kaya may reklamo pa rin ako? Kasi nga siguro, mahirap makuntento.
