As it had been the custom, the evicted scholar is able to go back for a few minutes inside the academy to say goodbye. Apple is so teary-eyed as she says goodbye to the remaining scholars that she has grown to love.

Cris Cries

080708 cris cries of homesickness

After Mr. C left the academy, Cris cried by the pool. She says its from homesickness and that she's having dreams about her family and stuff. So timely for the announcement of the bottom 3, where she is a part of.

The Bottom 3

080708 mr cThe Headmaster is inside the academy making some announcements about the midterm exams. They are not going to announce the top scholar but announce the bottom 3 instead, but in no particular order. Even before the midterms started, the scholars already knew that the one who gets the lowest grade will automatically be on probation. The thing now is, if that bottom scholar isn't part of the top 3 next gala night, he/she cannot be saved by the other scholars from probation. So the announced bottom 3, not knowing who among them is at the bottom, will vie for the top 3 positions.

They are not announcing the scholar who got the lowest grade because they want the three from the bottom to work hard and aim for the top 3. The 3 scholars at the bottom are Inaki, Bunny and Cris.

Also, starting last Saturday, the star scholar will perform on ASAP Sunday the following week. Last Saturday's star scholar Liezel will be on ASAP this Sunday, in a duet with Piolo Pascual.

Laarni Practices

080508 laarni practicing bohemian rhapsodyLaarni practices her 8th gala night piece Bohemian Rhapsody with Teacher Kitchy and the substitute pianist. Good thing they omitted the line "Goodbye everybody life has just begun" because it would really sound like a goodbye song. I hope this will not going to be Laarni's goodbye song, though. With the influence and money of the other two (Miguel and Apple) in the probation, Laarni solely depends on her fans to vote for her. Miguel belongs to a rich family and Apple has an influential manager who also manages Van and the PDA Season 1 2nd placer Jay-R Siaboc.

Sad Apple

Epal Apple

apple and hansen

Apple cried after talking to the mentors about her "issues". I don't know why she chose the boys' bedroom to cry in, but Hansen eventually went in and comforted her.

Issues include:
1. she was happy when bea was evicted
2. she is pa-cute
3. she is epal; mahilig makisawsaw sa problema ng iba
4. social climber; si bea at miguel ang kinakaibigan
5. achiever pero walang binatbat
6. baligtad ang pagtanda dahil nagbi-baby talk
7. sine-seduce si miguel
