MORE THAN A SHOW BUT REALITY OF WHAT WE ARE

As an avid fan and regular viewer of PBB, Last night (May 25, 2010), I happened to watch the Pinoy Big Brother Teen edition Teen clash segment in Chanel II. The subtitle alone, the two competing teams had their clash. It is all because of a rematch that the Pinoy housemates with the teenternational housemates. They want to have a rematch for them to gain or steal one more slot from the teenternational housemates.

For me, I was really dismayed on how the Pinoy teen house mates acted. That they are asking for a rematch between the teenternational housemates because they want a slot for the Teen Big Night in which the teenternational housemates had wined over and the Pinoy housemates also feel that they were cheated. It’s an absurd thing. I feel sorry for the teenternational that it has to go and end up in this situation. I was very ashamed because we are known all over the world for being hospitable and what they did is really inhospitable one.

I think, it’s just a tip or an overview on what we (Filipinos) truly are and on how we deal in games and in our everyday life. I was disgusted because it really shows that we Filipinos do not accept defeat in our own way. Just like in the election, politicians don’t accept defeat but they always say that they were cheated by the other camp and other alibis that they do in order for them to feel comfortable. We should accept the fact that in every game, there is a winner and a loser. That we should accept defeat and make this as an inspiration for us to strive more. I wished that we Filipinos should have the chance to watch it because it really makes us reflect on who we really are.

I also think that maybe the Philippines didn’t get well off because of our attitudes towards life. We only focused our goals, dreams, prices and wants on the material things that this world can offer to us. And we always forgot that life doesn’t always mean for luxury purposes, for material things and the like. But it’s all about who we are, what we are and how we deal with other people and life. Isn’t it nice to see that we don’t have that luxuries but we have friends that we could lean on in terms of bad times, we have friends that nothing in this world could ever equal its prize. I think we should focus more on how we deal to other people and how we treat them properly.

I want to commend the teenternational housemates because the fact that they are not Filipinos but they are the ones who had acted more as a Filipinos. They even want to give one slot for the Pinoy housemates because they want to share their luck and triumph to them. But what they (Pinoy housemates) asked for a rematch to relieve their feelings

I feel that it’s an insensitive one. For the teenternational, they treat it as a friendly completion in which what matter most for them is the friendship and the moments. But not on the side of the Pinoy housemates because they still consider it as a completion that in the end they want the price even thought they may hurt the feelings of their friends.

For us, we should be cautious on what we will be saying to other people. We ought to not let our selves be carried away by our emotions and tell whatever things and words that we want to tell to them. We must think two times or even more in order for us not to hurt the emotions of our friends and loved ones. I always tell these to my friends and classmates that respect is essential. We should respect them, their decisions and our differences that we are different from one another.

Another, trust is very important, you know, its easy for a person to trust him but one’s it was lost you can never ever built it up again the way it was before. It’s like putting back a shattered mirror. Though you had successfully put the pieces back, the imprint is there and it irritates you more when you had the chance to glance for your self.

Moreover, life is not on winning the price. But on how you deal with the game and what you had become after the game.
