Yuri Okawa: "Lawakan natin ang ating pagiisip"

Latest PBB evictee Yuri Okawa had an interview with abs-cbn.com and here's what she said:

“At first I was scared because I thought the people hated me. Baka paglabas ko i-boo nila ako o batuhin ng kamatis. Pero nung nakita ko ‘yung looks ng mga tao sa labas nakita ko na hindi naman sila galit sa akin. May nagchi-cheer pa nga sa akin kaya sobrang natuwa ako. Thank you sa inyo.”

“Ang totoo thankful ako because what happened made me stronger. Noong last day ko sa house nalulungkot ako kung bakit ako ang baka na-vote out ng mga tao. Pero I didn’t dwell on the sadness. Ayokong mag-isip ng negative kasi wala namang mangyayari. Nagisip na lang ako ng positive na kung lalabas man ako at least makakasama ko na ‘yung family ko. Everything has a reason. God has His plans for all of us, kahit na masakit, hindi naman Niya tayo papabayaan.”

“Malakas talaga kasi ang personality. I just showed who I really am, but sorry kung may mga na-offend ako. I didn’t mean na makasakit ng kung sino. Wala akong siniraan na housemate behind their backs. Sinabi ko lang kung ano ‘yung ayaw ko o nararamdaman ko sa kanila and for me hindi backstabbing ‘yun. I just verbalized lahat ng emotions ko pero hindi ako nangaway ng kung sino lalo na nang patalikod.”

“Okay lang mag-judge ng tao. Pero sana magbigay din tayo ng benefit of the doubt. Subukan nating kilalanin ‘yung tao. Marami kasi tayong hindi pa alam. Kapag sinubukan nating intindihan ‘yung tao baka maunawaan natin kung bakit ganun ‘yung nakikita natin sa kanya. Lawakan natin ang ating pagiisip.”

Sigh. We think whether a housemate will be loved or hated depends much on the PBB people. They can choose to show the good deeds of someone and they can also make someone look bad. Look at Wendy. NO matter how people hated her, she still managed to enter the Big4. So we wonder, do our votes really count?
