First time to meet Pinoy Big Brother House

This is the first time I saw Pinoy Big Brother House (abbreviated as PBB) up-close, the most popular house here in the Philippines.

Pinoy Big Brother House - PBB - The Geeky Promdi

Actually, there are so many names people called this house. Yellow House, as one; Bahay ni Kuya (in the Filipino language), the other one; and PBB House by many.

2nd Day of our Educational Tour, which was February 2013. We are scheduled to have a Studio Tour in ABS-CBN compound, the morning of that day, exactly 9:00am. We arrived too early, I think we are 30 minutes advanced before we are allowed to get inside the building. So, our tour guide decided to go around.

Upon hearing, we will be going to have a visit to the Big Brother House. I was shocked and said, "Really!?". Then, the tour guide got his microphone and announced that we will be seriously going to the PBB House while waiting for the time scheduled to us for Studio Tour. It makes me feel more excited like, whoah! I said, "Ok, nice!".

I can't stop staring out the window while we are approaching our destination, because I really really want to know where that house located. You know, I'm a fan of this reality show ever since it started, the year 2005. I love watching how a person interacts with a certain situation; the life story of each character; and Kuya's very challenging tasks given to the Housemates as well, it can be a personal, weekly or secret task.

Back to the story. A few minutes later, I saw a gate with the PBB logo. Oh! I think this is it! Time to retouch before we left our bus as if we will go inside the house or have a formal pictorial. Hahaha.

That feeling, I can't wait to go outside the bus to touch the gate of the house and stare it up-close. Urgh! I think I am one who goes outside the bus first and runs across the street even there's a car approaching. When I got there, I was so amazed, but the one caught my attention is the nearby building of the house. It is covered with a canvas as if there's something inside of it. While taking a look into it, there's a guard so I turned back my attention into the PBB House.

Now, I was able to touch and hold the gate so tight while saying these words in my head, "Before, I am watching you on TV. But now, I am able to touch your gate.". And, there's another one, but it's confidential. Hahaha. :D

Pinoy Big Brother - Erik Felipe - The Geeky Promdi

We took some pictures with my friends and colleagues. Here's the one and only picture I have with these popular Yellow House. Maybe someday, we will be going to keep in touch with each other. I'm hoping! ;)

Erik is a blogger and developer from the Philippines, dubbed as The Geeky Promdi.

    1. Yes! Go and take a selfie as well! ;)
  6. I always see this house whenever I pass by ABS CBN but wasn't able to step inside of it :(
  7. I was as dumbfounded when I first saw the Big Brother House. QC is my home now though, so it's no surprise to me anymore!
  8. Amazing, isn't it?? I know, it feels so great to visit and experience the shooting locations of your favorite shows and movies!! ��
  9. Seen the house numerous times when we attend shoots, not really a fan of the previous seasons except the first few ones. Great though that you were able to visit!
  10. I always have this feeling to go inside that house - hehe! Great to know the feeling is mutual. haha~
  11. Visiting the PBB house is cool! But I'm just surprised such kind of place is being included in an "educational tour". It's not educational at all. At least you enjoyed it :)
  12. Wow this is cool!! I want to go inside hihi!
  13. Wow! After all these years, the most popular house still stands their up to date. I wonder how they keep it intact through all the years.
  14. The only PBB house I have been to up close was the one located in Hundred Islands. Hahaha. I don't watch television, but it must be nice that you have personally been to Kuya's house for your ed tour :)
