Darrel, (10y/o) my youngest cousin, switching cartoon channels.
Darrel: What do you like..this(Pucca) or...this(Ninja Turtles).
Intelligent Cousin: What!?!? You're watching Pucca? That's for girls!
Darrel: No..you're just building stereotypes.
Intelligent Cousin: *stunned* (out of sneakiness, I checked if he really know what he is saying) Uhm..what's stereotypes?
Darrel: My gosh..you don't know what stereotype means?
Intelligent Cousin: NO! I know! I learned that in..2nd grade!!! FYI, I build stereotypes everyday!
We ended watching Pucca. And it was more action packed than Transformers and GI Joe combined.

The morning of my last day at Pinoy Big Brother, David, Darrel and their parents (my uncle and aunt), arrived here in Phil.
My two cousins slash 3D buddies will be staying here and will be studying at Reedley. Because entering high school in their Indonesia school would cost 1 year salary of the CEO of Ayala Land. Rough estimate.
Cousin: Where's Krakow?
David: When in doubt, Google it. Or Wiki...
Cousin: Where do you want to watch, Eastwood or Gateway?
David: I don't want to go to Eastwood. I'll be staying there for the rest of my life.
Cousin: I'm not.
David: Let's just watch at Gateway.
Cousin: I am married to Gateway since its birth. ...and for the rest of my life.

Just In Time! If It Was Yesterday Yesterday
"..when there's something you really want, fight for it, don't give up no matter how hopeless it seems. And when you've lost hope, ask yourself if 10 years from now, you're gonna wish you gave it just one more shot. because the best things in life, they don't come free."Last week, I bumped into my old private journal and had a field day on re-reading my shits. I think I heard this quote last 2007 from one of the DJs in mellow so I instantly typed it to unconsciously remind myself of the choices that I'll make once I enter June of 2010.
And I'm retyping it now. I'm super scared.
For proper citation, this quote was from Grey's Anatomy/Dawsons Creek, yeah?
Yeah says Google.
Endings Are Always Sad
Especially if the one you're rooting for didn't win.
Ryan Bang placed second and James Reid..Big Winner.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?"
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?"
[Because this is the only proof that I'm not lying. And that I really have mad paint skillz. lol There's 350,649 'Christopher' in Phil. Ata.]
On my last shift (June 26 - Saturday - 7am), I arrived at the Main Control Room right on time but was surprised to see Ate Abi being the only soul inside the room. She was sleeping so I waited for her to wake up...
'Ate Abi, may pasok pa ba ngayon o sa Big Night na lang mamaya? Bakit tayo lang nandito? Haha'
...'Ate Abi, kelangan pa ba magbasa ng summary?'
I am so dependent to others even in my last shift. Hate it.
Savor it. I flipped through the summary book and read what happened for the past 2 days because I came from an off. I even found the full text of Big Brother's message to the remaining 6 housemates and it was only then that I realized that..I'm jobless starting June 27. lol That white paper which was pasted in the summary book was actually an introduction to the career that I'll/we'll be facing after our stint with PBB. It was a reminder of the lessons that we've learned, an instruction to dream big, ...I can't remember the other stuff. Memory gap paksyet!
3 months. It wasn't quick but it wasn't dragging either. The whole experience really felt like a platform for training/preparation..for a battle..something Hunger Games-ish.
The Batch/Edition. I met the funniest people inside MCR. Specifically in our batch - the new co-pilots and loggers for the Teen Clash Edition. Anyone can crack you up anytime of the day, I swear!
From Jaja A's My Post-MCR life: [Jaja is witty. Was absorbed by another show even before PBB Tenn Clash ended]
1. Pagpasok ko ng bahay, sinu-surrender ko ang cellphone ko sa nanay ko. tutunganga lang siya sakin, sabay tanong, "Anong gagawin ko dito?" Ako naman, nag-aantay ng number ko.
2. Tuwing umiiyak yung pamangkin kong 8-month old, parang naririnig kong sumisigaw si kuya alvin, "ZOOM IN, DOS! ZOOM IN DOS! TWO SHOT KWATRO, SAMA MO SI YAYA!"
5. Tinanong ako ng friend ko one time, "asan ang lolo mo?" bigla kong sinagot, "si lolo? asa taas po ata ..." Lolo is our director who has his own office at the 2nd floor.
6. Minsan sa starbucks, nag-open up yung tropa ko tungkol sa problema nila ng nanay niya. humingi pa sakin ng advice. sabi ko, "sige bukas, ipapatawag ko si Doc Randy."
7. Habang lahat ng tao eh nagninilay-nilay at nagdadasal ng 3 o' clock prayer, sumisigaw ako ng "CHANGE TAPE PO!" Haha. Tape change happens every 3rd hour..inside MCR. And you'll hear one person shouting "Change tape!/Tape change!"
9. Sa FX, tuwing pinapatugtog sa radyo yung kantang "AHAAAAA! AHAAAAA! AHAAAAAA!" ng Michael Learns to Rock, nalulungkot ako bigla, napapaluha at hina-hug ko yung katabi ko ... bumubulong pa ko ng "... kita tayo sa labas ..."
11. Pag may nawawala akong gamit, at di ko talaga makita, napapasigaw ako ng "KUYA, paki-pan left naman nung SIYETE! may hinahanap lang po ako ..."
12. Similarly, pag may nagtsitsimisan at gusto kong maki-usyoso, napapabulong ako, "Kuya audio, paki-up naman po ng lapel ni Shon"
13. Pag di ko talaga marinig, napapalapit ako sa nearest usisero sabay hirit na, "Anong usapan diyan?"
14. Nung minsang gusto kong magpaluto ng espesyal na pansit, tinawag ko yung katulong namin, "LORNALYN, kunin mo yung sulat sa baul at dumiretso ka ng storage room. wag mong sasabihin ito sa iyong mga kasama, ay, kay mama pala ..." Kahit wala naman kaming storage room.
15. At nung minsang yung katulong namin e nagluluto nang walang pahintulot, nasita ko siya, "SINONG S.E. MO?"
16. Habang nagta-type, takang-taka ako bakit hindi lumalabas yung timecode tuwing nagko-control M ako. nag-i-indent lang. bakit ganon? sabay sigaw ng "SYSTEMS!!!!"
Haaay, first job, I love you more than you know. :)
