(Click...) Static Noise...

(Click...) T.V. Movie...

(Click...) Some commercial shit...

(Click...) Game Show...

[About to switch channel...]

[Switched Channel]

(Click...) Another Game Show...

[The local version of the same game show.]

{I'm in awe. Shocked by how the contestants acted.}

Crab Mentality.

Wikipedia defines this as an "If I can't have it, neither can you" attitude.

An example of this attitude can be observed in the local version of the game show "Wheel of Fortune". In comparison to the Original/U.S. version of the said game show, it can be clearly observed that the contestants from the Original version act differently from the local contestants. The local contestants, jeered and wishing that their fellow contestant would get a stroke of bad luck. I know that in today's standard we want to win. And not just simply win, we want to win BIG!!! But does that drive to win big makes wishing for others bad luck totally acceptable? I don't think so. Watching how contestants from other countries play the same game and how they conduct themselves makes me appalled by how our fellow Filipinos act. More due to the fact that this done in NATIONAL T.V.!!!

Imagine this...

A foreigner staying in a hotel decided to flip through the T.V. in search of something to watch. Then he tumbles upon a familiar show, but with a local twist. As he was watching the show, he noticed that the contestants keep on taunting on fellow contestants.

I don't know if this show is broadcast internationally through TFC

But let's ask this, Is this the image we want to project to the International Community?

I'm really disgusted by this. And I really hope that people would start to take notice and change this attitude.

I just want the best for my fellow Filipinos... We can change this attitude. I know we can. We just need to have an awakening.

Peace-Out

Voice Blog #2: April Fools' Day

Yo!!! What's Up Everybody!!!

It's been a really fun day, being April Fools' Day and all.

Being the fun loving jokester that I am, I decided to pull one on Lirio, of course with the help of our other crew mate Kristine.

Since, tomorrow will still be April Fools' Day in Cali. I decided to team up with Lirio to pull one on Kristine. Let's see if it will work or not. I was thinking somewhere in the line of relationship matters. I would like it to hit hard and a bit serious toned.

I'm also planning to pull one on Robee. Let's just see what happened though.

It's all in my Second Voice Blog, entitled "April Fools Day". And most likely I would put up a follow up post tomorrow. (Just play it on my Snapvine:Voice Blog Section)

Peace-Out.
