The Pinoy Sole Survivor is...

*Spoiler Alert*

Kung masugid kayong manonood ng Survivor Philippines, wag niyo nang basahin ang mga nasa ibaba. Pero kung katulad niyo ako na hindi naman nanonood nito, sige lang! Basa na!

Sa pag-iikot ko sa mundo ng kabihasnan ay isang article ang umakit sa aking mga mata. Ito ang laman ng article mula sa http://www.showbizjuice.com/archives/2008/09/30/survivor-philippines-winner-revealed-jc-is-the-pinoy-sole-survivor/

SURVIVOR PHILIPPINES WINNER REVEALED: JC IS THE PINOY SOLE SURVIVOR

Nabuking ng showbizjuice.com sa usapan ng staff ng show

IT seems kulang sa confidentiality clause between GMA 7 management and its production staff.

Sa usapan ng ilang staff ng programa sa isang coffee shop, walang pakialam na ikinuwento ng isang taklesang staff ang nangyayari sa Survivor.

Ang pinaka-shocking revelation ng tsikahan ng staff na hindi napalampas ng source ng showbizjuice.com ay ang pangalan ng winner ng reality show.

Si JC! Siya ang Pinoy Sole Survivor.

Here’s the profile of JC that we got from a website:

John Carlo “JC” Tiuseco (Hardcourt Heartthrob)
JC, 23, is a hunky basketball heartthrob of San Sebastian University. When he was younger, he was very passionate about basketball and dreamed of becoming a professional player. But as he grew older, JC discovered that he has a lot more potential to make it beyond the hardcourt.

Banking on his athleticism and good looks, JC is sure that he has a good chance to capture the ladies’ hearts and to bag the coveted title of Sole Survivor.

Survivor Philippines is airing barely 2 weeks. We hate to spoil the excitement by revealing the big winner.

Again, this is news.

You have been warned. Kung hindi mo nagustuhan ang iyong nabasa, wala na akong magagawa. Hindi naman ako nagkulang sa paalala di ba?

Yan ang problema sa mga naka-tape na reality shows. Maski sa US yan din ang nangyayari di ba? Hindi talaga maiiwasan ang leak. At saan nga ba manggagaling ang leak na ito kundi sa mismong mga taong nasa likod ng programa, di ba?

Pero totoo kaya to? Ano sa tingin mo? Baka pakulo rin lang nila!

Brain Twister na naman

Na-receive ko ito kahapon at buong araw kong pinag-isipan ang sagot. Nagtulungan pa nga kami nung ka-klase ko para lang masagot ito. Ngayon, kayo naman ang gusto kong gumawa nito. Good luck!

Isa lang ako sa America, dalawa naman sa Indonesia at tatlo naman dito sa Philippines ngunit hindi mo ako makikita sa Japan at lalo na sa Globo. Nakikita mo ako madalas sa aklat. Ano ba ako?

Ano? Nahulaan mo ba? Wag mong ipapaskil yung sagot sa baba. I-personal message mo na lang ako kung may sagot ka na o suko ka na.

Unlimited Unlimited Texting

Limang araw nang naka-unli yung phone namin at hindi ko alam kung kailan ito mag-e-expire. Yung sa kaklase ko ganun ang nangyari, limang araw rin ang tinagal bago nag-expire ang unli niya kahit pang-1 day lang naman ang ni-register niya.

Ano kayang nangyari sa Globe?

First Day Flunk

Eto na ang listahan ng mga kapuna-punang bagay na napansin ko sa first episode ng Survivor Philippines na pinalabas kahapon! Walang kokontra dahil magsisimula na ako!

• Ang sabi ni Paolo sa simula, hindi raw alam ng mga contestants na magsisimula na yung game nung nasa barko na sila. Pero parang mali yun dahil nung nakita nila si Paolo sa isa pang barko, mukha silang excited lahat. Game na.
• Binilangan sila ni Paolo para sa wala. Sa kalagitnaan ng dagat ay pinatalon niyang lahat ang mga contestants sa tubig at binilangan ng 30 seconds. At hindi ko alam kung bakit. Ang layo naman nung pampang para makalangoy sila ng 30 seconds. So para saan yung 30 seconds? Si Paolo lang ang may alam.
• Parang PBB yung pagpapakilala sa mga contestants. May VTR Pa!
• Ang akala ko, bibigyan ng immunity yung unang makakarating sa pampang. Pero na-disappoint lang ako dahil wala namang ibinigay.
• Blue and Reed ang tribe colors nila. Siguro kapag nag-merge, Yellow naman. How Pinoy.
• Wala silang buffs. Maski colored towels, wala.
• Masyadong detailed ang narration, which is irritating. At may label yung obstacle course nila! Ano bang akala nila sa mga viewers nila? Mangmang?
• Kulang sila ng magandang camera angles.
• Mas marami ang voice overs kaysa on-location narrations. Parang Extra Challenge lang. Ilang beses ko rin nakitang nag-voice over si Paolo pero hindi naman bumuka ang labi niya sa video.
• Eto ang makulit: May parusa ang losing tribe! Ang akala ko, may Exile Island rin sila dahil yun ang pinakapamilyar na parusa sa Survivor. Pero hindi! Para akong nanood ng PBB! Ang parusa: ikinadena sila sa isa't-isa gamit ang tali na ginamit sa challenge at mananatili silang nakakabit hangga't walang sinasabi si Big Brother.
• Ang daming commercial breaks.
  
• Mayroon silang Survivor kit at ang agad kong napansin sa mga laman nito ay ang rain coat at rubber sandals! (?) Teka, Survivor ba talaga 'to?!
• May sabit yung interviews. Halatang wala na sila sa game (sa island) dahil ang lilinis na ng mga suot nilang damit. Halatang post-production material na. Wala akong nakita interview sa mismong tribe camp nila.
• Naubos yung lampas isang oras sa Day 1 lang. Ano yun, 1 episode per day? Siguro nanghihinayang sila sa tape kaya ginaya na lang nila yung PBB para walang sayang na tape.

Kaya naman ngayon, hindi ko alam kung panonoorin ko pa yung 2nd at 3rd episode kasi ang gusto ko lang talagang makita e yung mga challenge at tribal council nights. Wala na akong pakialam sa mga buhay-isla nila. Kaso, kabaligtaran yung nasa programa. Parang sahog lang yung mga challenges. Para lang akong nanonood ng PBB. Hay naku. Tae talaga.

Bakit naman kaya?

Bakit kaya may mga taong kahit ano ang isuot, maganda siyang tingnan. Pero meron naman na kahit anong ipasuot mo, parang wala namang nangyari.

NCAA: Fiba rule to decide ‘Final 5’

By Cedelf P. Tupas

Philippine Daily Inquirer

First Posted 00:21:00 09/07/2008

MANILA, Philippines—Might as well call it the Final Five.

The NCAA will use the Fiba classification point system to settle one of the tightest Final Four races in league history.

San Beda and Letran could end up tied for the No. 1 slot but there is also the possibility of having four teams ending up deadlocked for the last three slots with similar 9-5 records.

The Lions could wrap up the top spot and the twice-to-beat incentive that goes with it if they win on Wednesday against the Knights, who could drop into a four-way tie with San Sebastian, Mapua and Jose Rizal.

In this case, San Sebastian will play Jose Rizal and Mapua will battle Letran with the winners playing off for the No. 2 seed and the twice-to-beat-edge and the loser automatically clinching the third seed.

The losing teams will also play in another knockout match to determine the No. 4 team.
If the Knights prevail, they will play San Beda again in a playoff for the top spot, leaving SSC, Mapua and JRU to fight for the two remaining spots.

In case of a three-way tie at 9-5, Mapua and JRU will square off in a do-or-die match with the winner facing San Sebastian for the No. 3 seed.

Watda?!?!

Bago matapos yung 24 oras kagabi, pinakita nila yung teaser ng Survivor Philippines. At dahil tinamad akong tumayo sa upuan para manually ilipat yung channel, napanood ko ito nang buo.

Tae! Nakakainis! Pinilit nilang kopahin yung intro nung sa US version! Ang resulta: nagmukhang peke. Kung gusto nyong makita, kung gusto nyo lang, hanapin nyo sa YouTube. Pero hindi ko yan nirerekunmenda ha?

So ayun, panonoorin ko yung first episode nito sa Lunes. Matagal ko nang sinabi sa sarili ko na papanoorin ko yung first episode nito. Pag maganda, susubukan kong subaybayan. Pag nagmukhang Extra Challenge, hindi na ko manonood. Gusto ko ring malaman kung ano pa ang ginaya nila doon sa US version bukod sa intro.

Pero base sa teaser, hindi siya kaakit-akit panoorin.

Ang bagong balat ng aking Friendster blog

Kani-kanina lang, habang kinukopya ko yung latest blog entry ko dito papuntang Friendster blog e napansin kong may pagbabagong naganap sa Friendster Blog universe.

Aba! Nabuhusan ata ng kape yung mga taga-Friendster kasi bigla nilang naisipang mag-ayus-ayos ng bakuran! Meron na ngayong "tags" at "categories" ang Friendster blog! Maaari mo na ring i-align center ang mga paragraphs na dati ay pahirapan gawin! Meron na rin itong ino-offer na "Advanced Options" na wala akong balak galawin hangga't di ako pamilyar.

Sa mga gusto itong makita, pundot lang dito!

O kung meron kang Friendster account, try it yourself.

Sa ngayon, nangangapa pa ako. Medyo malabo yung mga buttons doon. Buti pa dito at saka sa Blogger, madali lang.
