Aches and Pains

May 03, 2008 3:44 AM

On their fourth day of cheer dancing, Team Rona and Team Priscilla were merged, following the choreography of the winning team. Rona was excited about the stunts and Jolas, though he wasn't feeling well, still stepped in to help out with the steps. Josef especially tutored Ejay, who was having a difficult time with the steps. A few of the boys were unable to join. Earlier during the week, Alex and Robi were brought to Capitol Medical for a check-up. Both were feeling body pains that grew worse by the day. Robi, diagnosed with muscoskeletal strain, was lucky enough to have been given the go signal to return to the house, way beyond the 24-hour limit. Alex was able to return two hours shy of it.

According to Dr. Angela Pilar Mendez-Mendiola, Alex had viral gastroenteritis. Any form of diarrhea was generally due to unclean surroundings and the current heat. Most of the teens’ illnesses had something to do with poor housekeeping, which had Kuya giving them a serious talking-to. Not only were they disrespecting his house, they were also putting each other’s health in danger. A series of punishments followed this. Rona, Priscilla and Robi were tasked to make sure no food was spoiled. If anyone else gets sick because of spoilage, one of them will be evicted. Ejay and Jolas owned up to having peed in the pool. Because Jolas was sick, the punishment of scooping the pool water using only a tabo was given to Ejay.
Next to complain about their aches and pains were Jolas and Nan. Jolas checked his blood pressure, which seemed fine. He was still, however, exempted from the Coke cheer dancing, something that he was looking forward to. Nan also experienced discomfort, but he knew exactly what would cure it: tu-ob, a traditional vaporizing method. Mommy My Love immediately got to work, explaining the steps as she went. In a bowl, she placed rice and mixed in softdrinks, ice and juice. She then boiled this, and had Nan (who was under a heavy comforter) inhale the vapors.

The most painful, probably, was Beauty’s injury. During a game, Beauty slipped as she rushed to get her letter, fished from the pool, to the designated board. First to hit the hard floor was her lower back, and it was such a bad fall that it had her writhing and crying. Unable to move much, the housemates fixed her by the sala, face down on the pillows. Medics came in and took her to the hospital for an x-ray. Their fear was she had a fracture, which would take weeks to heal. Kuya informed Mommy Carina of the situation and immediately sent her packing to be with Beauty.

Will the housemates finally understand the grave need to clean their surroundings or do they still need a more serious punishment? Will Beauty make it back within 24 hours or will she be this weeks’ evictee? Ejay’s next move with Valerie was a singing telegram (suggested by Kuya) sung by Nan. Val didn’t understand it at first, and was again surprised to learn that the lyrics were Ejay’s original. If Kuya was helping out Ejay with Valerie, the opposite is true with the Nicosef tandem. Stay tuned to the goings-on in Kuya’s house tomorrow on Uber and Primetime Bida as Kuya instructs Robi to make sure that Josef and Nikki stay away from each other.
