From reality show to reality

“Baka nasa tono lang ng boses ko.” This is what Jasmin, the 22-year-old Davao native, replied when asked about her unique attitude. Despite being the first official housemate to be evicted from the PBB house, Jasmin has left a definite mark upon her fellow companions (and the viewers as well) due to her independent and headstrong outlook.

And true enough, she’s not shy to relate that this is what got her in hot water in the first place. “Hindi ko alam na ganon talaga ugali ko, na di marunong makisama… kaya siguro may gulo, kase kung ayaw ko sa tao, ayaw ko talaga.” She admits, however, that her frustration towards others is only superficial. “Hindi ko naiintindihan kase naiinis lang talaga ako minsan,” she notes. “Hindi ko naman pine-personal.”

But this doesn’t mean that her PBB experience wasn’t worth it. “Madami akong nakilalang tao with different backgrounds,” she says when asked about the best thing she learned from her PBB experience. “Na-try ko mag-adjust dahan-dahan.” Jasmin counts Gee-Ann among her close friends inside the house, and is her personal pick to win it all. She also describes Kian, Maricris and Bodie as the people “na nakakaintindi lang sa akin.” However, she still notes that her most flawed relationship inside the house was with Wendy, while mentioning that the most attractive housemate was Zeke. And her own two cents on the Zeke and Dionne fling? “Iba na ata ibig sabihin nun ah!”

Jasmin plans to return to Davao as soon as possible, claiming she’s homesick already. She plans to finish her last year of Nursing, but secretly wants a career in broadcasting as well. A career in acting is also welcome, if the opportunity presents itself. And on comments that she looks more beautiful in person, she admits: “Hindi ko alam na maganda ako… wala namang nagsasabi eh!”

Despite having barely a month’s stay in the PBB house, Jasmin obviously doesn’t regret her controversial but fun stint in there. And while doesn’t deny her turbulent attitude inside, she claims, in typical Jasmin fashion: “Kaya ako nahirapan, kase hindi ako plastic.” Brutal honesty, but honesty nonetheless, from a strong-willed personality.
