Aloha, kids! Can we just say that we missed ya? How have you been? Have you eaten your dinner na? O, you sleep early ha so that you'll have a nice rest... o, you put down the phone first... O sige na... put down the phone na... you muna... No... baby 'kaw muna... okay, sabay tayo... 1... 2... 3.... Oras na para sa mga balitang pasaway! 'Eto ang episode ocho na!

This week's crazy news:

We are still on that "belated joyeux anniversaire" kick for a lawyer wannabe, Candiday, who is in her GRO mode because recently balikbayans in her family have been so quick to have her run the it-can't-wait errands. We look forward to the day na magpapacanton na si Diday, after siguro magaan na ang load n'ya sa French and Thesis at puwede na niyang ma-email si Jewel. We're obsessing that we still haven't raped her wallet yet for a wholesome celebration of the birth of a wonderful baby girl 2 decades ago.

Speaking of, our "Decade Episode", i.e. Episode#10 will be something to look forward to. Can you tell that we are promoting this one so passionately? You bet your musical mommas we are.

Konichiwa to our Asian babe in Italy who is so obsessed with the hot janitors and police officers, that she can't stop saying a vetro to them. Niña says a vetro is "bottoms up" in Italian, FYI.

Hey, do you guys remember Mye's "bottoms up" when she makes sisid the water? Last week, Allan was watching a 7-minute video clip taken last year in Mye's Tito's house in QC. Hey, do you also remember that she did not ask permission to use that swimming pool two summers ago?

Last week also, Allan killed time by watching old VHS recordings and he found our STS commercials tape and it was so hilarious. The best one was the Marita, Rhoda and Bingo's Globe ad. So obsessed! Another recent obsession of Allanski is eating Spanish-style sardines with rice and patis with calamansi. Yum!

Another food obsession is that alfajor. (Uh, raise your hand if you also don't know what this is?). Newly-hotel hired Don promised that he'll make pipol patikim. We'll see... Galing ka pala ng Baguio. Lamig siguro.

Marita, isn't a 3-hour study period per subject too... academic for any of us? Good to know this is not a qualified obsession because, what about your night life? You've got to boogie pa rin naman.

We are intrigued if Rona is still obsessed with the color blanco.

Obsessed with her job? That's Dimple, who declares she "loooves" her job but would like to check out that teaching job at that all-boys high school. We'll try to get a contact number for those parties interested.

Right now, Karina is still obsessing with the fact that she still have not received her certification bonus. Don't worry, hija, malapit na.

Blossom proposes a gathering of some sort. Sorta kinda like an obsession for her, since malamang walang nakapunta dun sa Bastille Day Chuva na sinasabi n'ya, kaya't ngayon naman ay nangangarap siyang mag-EK (oo, habang wala si Niña... ay lugi pala tayo, nasa Italy siya...).
Jiji in Salamanca, who's obsessing in backpacking all over Europe with Ivy (whoever she is), has proposed that the UP Círculo Hispánico stage this year's Fiesta Española focusing on the objects of the five human senses. Amazing!

We are so thankful that you are still obsessed with our baby, Orgullo News Online. Really, it's for the good of mankind. Tabloidal sensationalism is so fetch right now.

But it's absolutely not sensational that girl friends fight. Okay, we know Blossom and Rio found an obsession in Mean Girls after watching it, but, love is still the answer. Don't be a meanie if other girls like Henz did not like the hybrid Jawbreaker-Clueless-Cruel Intentions-Never Been Kissed chick-flick. Love is the answer. Love will keep us together. Everyone in the movie forgave each other in the end, so maybe we could all learn from that. Coolness di ba? But you must agree, Lindsay Lohan is so much fetch-ier than Hillary Duff!

Where is Armis? Obsessed with the gym lately?

Where is Eky? Obsessed with Fil-Ams lately? You have apps to think about....

Where is Ian? Obsessed with West Coast babes lately?

Where is Irene? Probably hunting Diday now, because of the utang, which Diday promised to settle before she graduates.

Where is Rhoda? We're guessing, she's with La Joya everyday. Oy, kamukha mo daw sister mo ah. Itago mo 'yan kay Dean.

Where are the two Melissas? In the Rizal province is our best bet. 'Cause that's where they live.

Final Thoughts:

A cookie for you if you guessed that this week's trend is: Obsessions.

Watch the Amazing Race 5, dadaan sila ng Pinas sa mga huling pit stops nito!

Diana Zubiri or Francine Prieto? Watch Liberated 2 and you'll laugh at the funny lines. Very comedic and better compared with the original Liberated shown last year. (ay, bakit natin alam 'to?)

Blossom, aminin, obsessed ka sa 30 Days....

Dito sa Orgullo News Online, walang kinikilingan. Walang kamakamag-anak! Walang mga kumpadre! Tiyak 'yon!

Next issue: Cloud Nine.
