Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited: 7th Eviction Night

Housemate Joya from Negros Occidental was evicted from the Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited house on its 7th Eviction Night. Joya only got 7.03% of the votes which cost her eviction. Divine got the most number of votes with 64.47%. Wendy and Carlo came in second and third with 16.01% and 12.50% respectively.


The rest of the episode showed Big Brother admonishing the housemates after they failed in their last contra-battle which is to capture rats. Both Team High Voltage and Wayuk failed in the challenge. He said that he is very disappointed that the housemates seemed to have not taken the task seriously. He said that they have underestimated the small creatures which were fighting for their survival while it seems that the housemates didn't care less.

He also issued issuing stern warnings to his housemates that they will face harder challenges as a consequence. He even mentioned that none of the housemates seemed worthy to be in the PBB Top 4.

Pag-ibig lyrics

Ang pag-ibig, hindi parang cellphone
'pag naluma, papalitan
Ang pag-big, hindi parang damit
'pag may bagong uso, papalitan

Kung sabihin kong mahal kita
Yan ay totoo sinta
Wag na wag kang magdududa
Hindi kita binobola

Habang buhay ang pag-ibig ko sa'yo, o sinta
Kahit na ika'y pumangit, hindi kita ipagpapalit
Panghabang buhay ang pag-ibig ko sa'yo o sinta
Kahit na ika'y makalbo, hindi ako magbabago

Ah ha hum.. 4x

Ang pag-ibig, hindi parang pagkain
'pag pinagsawaan, pamimigay nalang
Ang pag-ibig, hindi parang pusa
pag maingay, ililigaw nalang

Kung sabihin kong mahal kita
Yan ay totoo sinta
Wag na wag kang magdududa
Hindi kita binobola

Habang buhay ang pag-ibig ko sa'yo, o sinta
Kahit na ika'y tumaba, hindi ako mangangaliwa
Panghabang buhay ang pag-ibig ko sa'yo, o sinta
Kahit na magka-wrinkles ka, iki-kiss pa rin kita.

Ah ha hum.. 4x


Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it
does not boast, it is not proud, it is not rude
It is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it
keeps no record of wrongs
Love does not delight of evil, but rejoices with the
truth
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes and
always perseveres.

Habang buhay ang pag-ibig ko sa'yo, o sinta
Kahit na topakin ka, iintindihin kita
Panghabang buhay ang pag-ibig ko sa'yo, o sinta
Kahit na may kasalanan ka, iiyak ako
pero papatawarin kita

Ah ha hum.. 2x
Ah ha ah ha ahm..

Ah ha hum.. 2x
Ah ha ah ha ahm..

Boracay named second best beach destination

A travel website, TripAdvisor, listed Boracay island in Aklan province as the second best beach destination in the world and the No. 1 in Asia for the second year in a row, according to a report from the abs-cbnnews.com.

"At only 4.5 miles long, Boracay is small enough to navigate by rented bicycle or motorbike. But don't let its small size fool you -- you'll have several excellent beaches to choose from," TripAdvisor said in its website.

"Yapak beach is known for beautiful white shells; White beach has picture-perfect sunsets; and Balinghai beach is a secluded spot, perfect for honeymooners. As long as you visit during dry season, you'll agree this is one of the best beach destinations in the world," it added.

The tiny island of Providenciales in Turks and Caicos remains the world's best beach destination according to TripAdvisor's list, which is based on travelers' reviews and ratings.

Palm/Eagle beach in Aruba island ranked third, followed by Negril in Jamaica, Tulum in Mexico, Myrtle Beach in South Carolina, Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman island, Punta Cana in Dominican Republic, Cape May in New Jersey, and Santa Teresa in Costa Rica.

Meanwhile, Baguio, known as the summer capital of the Philippines, ranked 22nd in TripAdvisor's list of best destinations in Asia this year.

"Baguio, perched high in the Cordillera Central Mountains, is a great place to escape the heat of the Philippine lowlands. Camp John Hay, originally built as a recreation area for US soldiers, now is a full-fledged resort complete with a world-class golf course. Definitely stop at the city market, where you can buy almost anything (just be prepared to haggle)," the travel website said.

Topping the list of best destinations in Asia is Hong Kong and globally, Cape Town in South Africa.

Kung Hei Fat Choy - Happy Chinese New Year!

Our Chinese brothers are celebrating the most anticipated and important event in their colorful tradition. Today is the celebration of the Spring Festival or the Chinese New Year. This year's celebration has become more special since it was declared as a non-working holiday by the Philippine government for the first time.

Filipino-Chinese and even Filipinos prepare for this feast by making sure that their houses are in order. Many people flock to Binondo or other China towns to buy lucky charms and the popular "tikoy" or the sticky rice pudding. The belief is that giving tikoy to family and friends will bring good luck and the stickiness of this food will bind the family together. There are also firecrackers at night to drive away evil spirits.

What more, there are dragon and lion dance performances where there are Chinese communities. What I didn't fail to notice is that the traffic is a lot lighter today.

Well, I can only hope that this New Year will bring us more joy and blessings from God.

Kung Hei Fat Choy!

Lyrics of Stargazer

Take me to that one perfect night
My arms around your waist
Stargazing dreaming on and on
Hope against all hope
Should I stay if you should go, wooh
Feelings overflow
Broken, we still fly
Time heals most our wounds

Hope sings as I'm
Taken to that one perfect night
My arms around your waist
Stargazing dreaming on and on
Hope against all hope
Should I stay if you should go, wooh
Was it epic for you at all?
Or just memory, a moment
Nothing more?

[Ad-Lib]

Feelings overflow
Broken, we still fly
Time heals most our wounds

Hope sings for me but
Was it epic for you at all?
Or just memory, a moment
Nothing at all?

Stargazing dreaming on and on
Take me to that one [3x]
Hope against all hope

Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited: 6th Eviction Night

Six housemates were evicted from the PBB house last night for the Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited Sixth Eviction Night. Naprey, Unad, Steph, Ryan, Jerico and Roy were evicted from the PBB house as part of the Intensity 7 that shook all the housemates from the reality show. Just like what Big Brother announced last week, only 14 housemates were left at the end of the week.

The last housemate who made it to the list and who completed the top 14 is Denise from Team High Voltage. However, she was made to wait outside of the mansion and Big Brother entrusted her fate to a task given to Paco and Slater. It was Paco who completed the puzzles that paved the way for Denise to enter the house. Consequently, Big Brother announced that Denise will be transferred to Paco's team, team Wayuk.

In total, 5 housemates from Team Wayuk made it to the top 14 and 9 housemates from Team High Voltage. Denise' inclusion to Team Wayuk will make her the sixth member. So as part of the Intensity 7 Aftershock, Big Brother announced that another housemate from Team High Voltage will be transferred to Team Wayuk. We'll have to watch out for that in the next episodes.

Interestingly, the six evicted housemates were made to choose who they think among the top 14 deserve to be included in the top 4. The six evicted housemates are in agreement that Biegel, Pamu, Seichi and Eting should be in the top 4.

Watch out for more surprises in the biggest reality show in the country!
