WOW, WHAT A WEEKEND
Friday:
- took the day off after spending 32 hours straight at work from Wednesday to Thursday
- saw the premiere episode of Survivor Exile Island
- slept, ate, slept, ate, smoked in between
Saturday
- was glued to the TV watching news about the stampede at ULTRA. Felt sorry for the dead and wounded but was amazed at the lengths some of these people went through just to win a cash prize. They lined up since Wednesday night, peed and shat while standing in line for fear of losing their place and had no money to buy food or even pay for the ride home. 15,000 people gathered, 79 died and countless were injured for what BBC News identified as prizes amounting to 19,000 dollars all in all.
- was even more amazed that the 9,000 who did make it inside actually hoped that the show would go on despite the high price paid in terms of human life and blood.
- felt bad for Willie Revillame. He actually is a nice guy. During one event, he sought me out to praise the job I was doing as a VO announcer. If I were him, I wouldn't return to that show even if they paid me a million bucks per episode.
- got my own poker set. Conci was at Fully Booked and texted me that they had one available for only P1,000. I told her to snatch it up. Poker anyone? Seems safer than gambling your lives for a one-in-10,000 chance to win a million bucks.
Sunday
- missed mass and slept in.
- saw the first episode of Pinoy Big Brother. I was afraid of another stampede. One of the hosts even asked the crowd to stop pushing from the back. Imagine the lousy luck of ABS-CBN if that happened. Part of me wishes that they postponed the launch another week, but I guess with all the money the company has to spend on funeral and medical expenses, they needed the advertising revenue badly.
- worried for Bianca Gonzales and Roxanne Barcelo. If the stories that my friend Miko told me about the Big Brother control room are true, then we can expect to see scandal pictures or videos of these two in the shower. My friend says that the camera sees everything.
- rooting for Budoy from Junior Kilat. First caught him at the NU rock awards where his band won song of the year for M-16. He seems playful and was totally hilarious. I'd watch this show just for him. Looks like he has the visayan vote all wrapped up. Part of me thinks he'll win.
