After being sent to the hospital last night, Robi was safely back in the PBB house while Alex was still missing in action. This got quite a number worried, not just for the general health of the Italian Valentino, but the 24-hour rule that applied to anyone who steps out of Kuya’s house. If he wasn’t back within the time allotted, it would mean automatic eviction for him. To everyone’s relief, Alex walked back in the house at around dinnertime, looking good enough to stay inside the house.
Not long after the two got sick that Beauty and Jolas followed suit. But the curse doesn’t stop there. Josef, while cooking dinner, accidentally got his finger dipped in newly-boiled oil. No tears for him, though, as he was still able to calmly explain why toothpaste is no longer the best solution to burns. It would, he said, indeed stop the pain, but it would also cause the burnt area to bubble, which would sting even more. Josef was now the main cook in the teens’ kitchen, but this didn’t mean that he would do all the work. Cooking became an event for all, a venue for bonding. All had their own particular task to attend to during meal preparation.
It seemed like Kuya’s multiple punishments finally got through to the teens. They held an impromptu meeting to discuss the issue of food spoilage and wastage inside the house. Rona suggested that they already throw out food which looked or smelled quite dubious already. Pricilla stated that they should tell Kuya the reason for throwing some food item, as he might think they were again being wasteful. Josef questioned why they should reach a point where food was being spoiled in the first place. He suggested that they plan the week’s menu already so they have an idea exactly what food items they needed. Also, they should use it in such a way that they would consume the more perishable items at the beginning of the week. Of course, this Lasallite did not forget to inject some fun and yummy idea as he asked that vanilla ice cream be added to the grocery list so they could have a Coke float. A little before sleeping time, Robi insisted that all head to bed already. Since he just exited the Confession Room without relaying any message, the girls laughed at him saying he was too obvious that he had a task. If Kuya did not intervene to tell the girls to head off to their room, he would probably be convincing them still. Robi, as always, was bad at telling fibs.
