Healthy adobo May 2, '08 3:19 PM |
Busy na ang iba sa mga tasks pero si Josef ay nasa kusina pa rin. Masama ang pakiramdam ng Lethal Lasallite, pero dahil siya na nga ang designated cook, kinarir na niya ang pagluluto ng ulam nila. Grateful naman ang mga housemates sa kanya, at si Nan ay very vocal tungkol dito. Habang nagluluto si Josef at ine-explain ang kakaibang adobo niya, nagsabi si Nan ng thank you. No oil adobo ang niluto ni Josef, pero malasa pa rin daw ito, ayon sa kanya. Tubig lang ang ginamit niya dito at tamang-tama naman daw itong recipe nya lalo na kay Alex na sensitive pa rin ang tiyan.
| Nicole--Robi--Josef May 2, '08 4:00 AM |
Simula pa kagabi binabantayan na ng True Blue Atenean si Josef at Nicole. At hanggang ngayon todo bantay talaga siya sa dalawa to the point na halos hindi na sila makapag-usap. Gusto sanang hawakan ni Nicole si Josef ngunit pinigilan siya ni Robi at sinalo ang kamay niya. At nung kailangan umalis saglit si Robi pinaupo niya si Alex sa pagitan ni Nicosef para daw may SPACE sa kanilang dalawa. Makulit sila Nicosef at pinipilit pa rin nilang maging touchy sa isa't-isa. Magwagi kaya si Robi sa task na ito?
| Coke cheer take 3! May 2, '08 2:50 AM |
Nagensayo ang teens ng Coke cheer nila! Konting oras lang ang ibibigay ni Kuya at ipinaalala niya sa teens na malaki ang nakasalalay sa cheer na ito. Mapapansin na bad mood si Jolas dahil gusto niyang sumayaw ngunit hindi siya makakasama.
Si Priscilla at Nicole, very confident sa cheer nila! Sharp ang moves at kitang-kita na kabisado nila ang dance steps. Si Rona naman marami pa ring nakakalimutan na steps kaya napapakamot ulo na lang. Si Val naman hindi makasunod sa ibang girls. Major adjustment rin ang teens dahil hanggang ngayon wala pa si Beauty. Makabalik kaya siya para makasama ang teens sa final presentation mamaya?
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. 
Nikki asked Beauty to mediate between her and Josef. Beauty helpfully relayed her sentiments, in which Nikki wanted to have little or no exchanges of affection with Josef but wished to retain their being best buds. Josef found this difficult, as they already were too used to treating each other as more than simple friends. The way he sees it, it would be better to just keep a safe distance. To Kuya, Nikki admitted that their actions were not right, especially since Josef had a girlfriend. Asked about her supposed boyfriend, Nikki revealed that they were on the rocks, which started when he left her a couple of months back. Tita Anna joins in the intervention a tad late, but her one-on-one with Josef was permitted by Kuya and supported by Mommy Sandy. It would be better if both teens had someone to guide them. Tita Anna discussed the situation with Josef, explaining that they were being too close for comfort to the point that they lost sight of the others who would be affected, his girlfriend in particular. They need not avoid each other, especially since it was virtually impossible anyway, but they did need to put a limit to their actions towards each other. Should they really decide to take it further, then they should learn to wait until they are out of the house and clear of obligations. They ended the conversation with Tita Anna expressing trust in Josef as she said, “You know what to do.”
Valerie and Ejay, on the other hand, had a very definitive moment when Ejay surprised Val with the traditional harana and said “the three words”. The morning after, Ejay apologized to the Dazzling Doll, who assured him it wasn’t needed. Val hasn’t told the girls yet, and they decided that Ejay would be the one to share it with them. Valerie was again interested in understanding why Ejay said the three words, and Ejay expressed apprehension since he didn’t know how to court. Before they could finish talking, the three boys walked in with a choreographed excerpt from the OPM “Harana”.
Like Ejay, Beauty also let her crush, Alex, know her feelings. She had been avoiding the Italian Valentino recently and he was noticing it. Beauty asks Nicosef to relay her position to Alex, but as it turned out, Kuya became the trigger to her admitting it herself. Kuya tasked her and Alex to work out together and they finally got to talk. Similar to Linda’s dilemma, Beauty did not want to like Alex more than she already did, because of respect for his girlfriend and because of someone she liked outside as well. Besides, she didn’t want to get hurt. Alex then asked if she wanted distance between them, but Beauty assured him that she wanted to keep their friendship but asks for understanding.
Matters of the heart aside, the teens faced multiple tasks and punishments this week, mostly due to food. They performed their Coke cheer, which Team Priscilla won. Jolas was exempted because of illness, much to the hopeful dancer’s dismay. Robi and Alex had severe stomach aches and had to be checked up at the hospital, taking them out of the performance and definitely pulling down the group’s cheer. Rona was punished to crow at the start and end of each sentence for participating in the wake-up call. Except for Beauty, Pris and Val, all had to transfer a 50-kilo sack of rice into 1-kilo bags using only chopsticks. Robi was tasked to take out all the food items and the teens were on a meager ration of 1 slice of bread and a mango each. This was followed by 6 pieces of hotdogs, eggs, and a slice of bread each for lunch. The food taken from them was then cooked by the guardians and distributed by Kevin and Daddy John to the kids who participated in the 2nd Tuliang Bayan.
