Last Friday Kuya took the girl housemates to an unusual field trip. He let Yayo, Gaby, Mariel, Ethel and Riza witness this year's Oblation run, an event done annually by the Alpha Phi Omega fraternity for almost a hundred years as an act to express freedom. The excited buzz of the students gave away their location to the Racing Goddess and once the blindfolds were taken away the women could only scream 'Oh my God! Oh my God!'when naked guys started running in front of them. The students gave them roses, a tradition that is part of the run. Riza, the admitted virgin, was speechless while receiving the flowers. Ethel, who was taken aback by the first pass got ready on the guy's second lap. "Oy, ang liit naman niyan!" Ethel jeered and got a lot of laughs not only from the HMs but from the Oblation Run participants as well. "Tingin ba nila nanay nila ako?" was Yayo's incredolous reaction after receiving the least flowers. 
Riza was actually still a bit shocked when they all got back to the house. "First sa akin na makita na putoytoy ng lalaki." she told Kuya and the girls, who found her statement hilarious.
After Ethel and Mariel's prodding the other day, seems like the Ultimate Pasaway took her task to discover the true Riza up another notch when she started courting Will openly in front of the Desirable Diva. During a midnight snack last night, Kuya suddenly played the song "I Finally Found Someone" and the words 'This is it!' pushed Ethel to bring out her Christmas present for Will. She gave him a dog tag necklace similar to the one she is wearing. "This is Janvier's before!" Will joked. Ethel tried to 
kiss Will but the True Lover emphasized that 'This is not it!'Ethel felt Will's hesitation to "make patol" was due to the fact that Riza was standing in the corner quietly drinking her coffee. She told Riza to go to sleep and everyone laughed at Ethel's crazy antics.
However, this was not the end of Ethel's "pangungulit" when Will suddenly found her lying on his bed. Will felt very helpless and he stomped over to the girls's bedroom to ask Mariel to 'get her friend.' Mariel though placed the bunch of roses from the Oblation Run in Ethel's hands to make the atmosphere more romantic. The other housemates were laughing so hard, there were tears in their eyes. Riza, then made an appearance in the boys's bedroom, pretending to carry Ethel off as a drastic measure.
With Ethel's provoking, will Riza really come out of her shell this time? Also where will Ethel's courting of the True Lover lead to? This triangle is yet to be solved, so stick around for you surely don't want to miss the answer to this equation!
Spending the holiday season inside the four corners of the big yellow house is truly a hard thing for the housemates will miss out being with their loved ones. To compensate for their isolation, Big Brother brought in several Christmas traditions to cheer them up since last week. And what could be more inspiring than completing 9 mornings for the misa de gallo held right here in his famous abode! That's right. People from all walks of life were invited to join the daily dawn masses starting today. Better than that, the housemates even prepared casseroles of hot choco to match the sumptuous porridge from Goodah that they served to all church goers through a secluded partition in the activity area. After all the frenzied activity at such an ungodly hour, the HMs soon went back to sleep again. 
quiet about it when he caught her in the act. Most of them however went back to slumber.
Baron was first called to reveal his nominees this afternoon. The Wild Child gave Yayo 2 points for he felt that she is a lovable HM and his vote won't affect her chances for the big win. Baron gave his remaining point to Ruben, whom he felt too was a very likable HM and wouldn't be in danger for eviction. 
the Mommy in Distress say she has fulfilled her mission inside the house. 
Jon was the last one to cast his vote being the Head of Household. He automatically nominated Gaby for the same reason Yayo did. 
Yayo didn't stop the tears from over flowing and said that she's doing everything for the sake of her children. "Ngayon lang po ako nahiwalay sa aking mga anak...Gusto ko pong matupad ang mga pangarap ko sa kanila." 
Mariel was the first one who drew the first character but she picked her own name and had to draw again. However, Big Brother clarified the rules of the fun game. Apparently, the housemates will only pick one name at a time and everyone will impersonate that person. From then on, all the housemates started acting like they were Mariel.
"Ang gulo pala kung ganito kadaming Mariel!" as Ethel observed when all of them went on with the task. But the Mariel-nation ended after 30 minutes, and the pretty houseguest drew a new name, and for the next half an hour, all the housemates impersonated Ruben. In an instant, everyone got on their Budotz costume and giggled like Beavis and Butthead to pay homage to the Komedyanteng Promdi. But to complete the Ruben craze, Big Brother played the Papi Chulo dance song. But when the housemates got tired of dancing, they just all sat around the garden and together sang some of the OPM ballads Ruben loves singing.
