It's been days, and I find myself falling for her, more and more everyday, I know it seems like its to soon, but I see something in her, she brings something to the table, unlike the others, she is so sweet, so beautiful, we have grown so close for the past few days, I don't care about winning, because PRINCESS is the main prize to me.
Today, she left me.. I miss her already and its been only 10 minutes, 45seconds and 13 milliseconds, yes I had been counting, I miss her so much to STOP counting, we have grown so close it feels like HALF of me has just faded away..
She came back. She came back!! Even if it's only for 24hours, I want to show her in these 24 hours how much she means to me, how much she is worth to me, I didn't come into this house looking for love, but right now... I think I just did. [/QUOTE

Princess, who's real name is Princess Lieza Manzon was raised by her lola. Her mother is working in Japan and left her at the care of her grandma. She went to live in Japan with her mother after finishing high school but life was not a bed of roses there. She also discovered that her mother was hiding a secret from her (it's still not revealed what secret it was but I sure am curious.) She rebelled after finding out her mother's secret so she moved out of her mom's house and lived on her own. She survived by working as a receptionist and an interpreter. It was there in Japan where she auditioned and got picked as one of the housemate of PBB Double Up.

FIRST CRACK: Angelica body swaps with Eugene!
by: Edgar O. Cruz | STIR Editor In Chief
9 Feb 2010 | 10:54 AM
A Quantum Films co-production with Star Cinema and OctoArts, “Here Comes The Bride” is director/scriptwriter Cris Martinez’s next full-length feature after his Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival award-winning “100.” It stars Angelica Panganiban as the young bride, Eugene Domingo as the ninang, John Lapuz as the makeup artist/friend of the bride, Tuesday Vargas as the harassed yaya of the ring bearer, Jimmy Fabregas as the groom’s grandfather and Tom Rodriguez as the groom. They will undergo “Body Swap” in the movie.
What is Body Swap?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: “A body swap is a storytelling device seen in a variety of fiction, most often in TV shows and movies, in which two people (or beings) exchange minds and end up in each others' bodies. Alternatively, their minds may stay where they are as their bodies adjust.
“There are three distinct types of body swapping. Switches caused by magic items such as amulets, heartfelt wishes, or just strange quirks of the universe. The switches typically reverse after the subjects have expanded their world views, gained a new appreciation for each others' troubles by literally ‘walking in another's shoes and/or caused sufficient amounts of farce.”
Tom is the “Pinoy Big Brother Double Up” ex-housemate who recently replaced Ronnie Liang in VOIZboys which is currently recording its first debut album under Quantum Music. Nico Antonio, also a VOIZboys crew, plays the pivotal role of the driver.
Cris met the five body swappers yesterday for a story conference. As it requires ensemble acting, it’s important to know the “soul” that each character will Body Swap with.
“Here Comes The Bride” is targetted for release for June, the wedding month, in time for school opening.

Ex-PBB housemate Princess Manzon faces her haters by Napoleon Quintos
February 03, 2010 11:10 AM
After making a voluntary exit during the early part of Pinoy Big Brother Double Up, Princess Manzon returned to Kuya’s house together with other ex-housemates to form the Resbak Attack task force team. In an interview with ABS-CBN.com, Princess explained that she agreed to be a part of PBB again to challenge the remaining housemates. “Napag-usapan naming ex-housemates na ilalabas namin ‘yung mga narinig namin from them sa confession room na sinabi nila about each other. Pero ang nangyari ako ‘yung pinakamaraming sinabi kaya it appeared na ako ‘yung b|tchy. In my own defense ‘yung mga sinabi ko sila ang nagsabi nun sa confession room. Hindi ko lang maintindihan bakit hindi nila ma-confront ang isa’t isa. Napaplastikan tuloy ako sa kanila. The reason I made a voluntary exit is hindi ko kaya ‘yun. Kaya siguro sila ganun kasi they were playing safe so they can win the competition.”
But Princess admitted that the task hurt her in the same way that the other housemates got hurt with her actions. She was given the chance to visit House A in an attempt to destroy the domino tower protected by the housemates as part of their weekly task. In the process she and housemate Mariel Soriño almost got into a catfight. “Hindi ko kasi masyadong nakausap si Mariel when I was still a housemate kaya hindi ako prepared na magiging aggressive siya. Hindi naman ako nasaktan sa mga sinabi niya. Nagulat lang ako na hinawakan niya ako so I just defended myself. I managed the situation naman.”
The Cebuana beauty said that with all the reactions she got from the housemates during the time that she was being aggressive, she was impressed with the stands of Melisa Cantiveros and Jason Francisco. “I realized that si Jason and Melisa lang ‘yung friend pa rin ang turing nila sa akin. I was very happy. Kung ako ang nasa lugar nila I would also value the friendship more than the money or the task. The others were just there to play the game, especially the guys. Nasaktan ako kay Paul Jake (Castillo) kasi hindi na niya ako makausap nang diretso. Hindi siya masyadong nagpapakita ng reaction. Also sobra siyang determined sa task hindi na niya inisip na may mga masasaktang girls. I expected more concern from him para sa ibang tao.”
Following the Resbak Attack, Princess, Yuri Okawa, and Rica Paras joined the other housemates for a special task ordered by Kuya which she admitted she would have said “no” to. “Kung pwede lang tumanggi ginawa ko na kasi hindi ko na gustong maki-bonding sa kanila sa loob ng bahay kasi because of the competition nagiging plastic ang mga tao. Hindi ko talaga kayang maging housemate. Hindi ko kayang makasama ang isang taong ayaw ko at ayaw ako. I feel sorry for those na hindi nagpapakatotoo thinking na that’s how they can win the game.”
Nevertheless she got the chance to explain herself to the housemates, although according to Princess, she was no longer expecting to salvage her friendship with them. “I explained myself to them na sinabi ko lang ang mga sinabi nila sa confession room. I just acted that way for the task. Bahala na sila kung ano ang gusto nilang paniwalaan. Bago naman ako pumasok uli inilagay ko na sa isip ko na these are the people who I don’t think I can be good friends with. Hindi naman sa I don’t care but the truth is hindi ako masyadong masasaktan sa kanila. Let’s just see na lang ano ang mangyayari after PBB. Sina Melisa and Jason okay kami nina Rica.”
When she returned to the outside world, Princess said she was already expecting lots of haters because of what she did inside the house. But she told ABS-CBN.com that she doesn’t mind those people who would label her as the “bad girl” of this PBB season. “Nung lumabas kami ng Kuya’s Darlings mainit naman ‘yung pagtanggap ng mga audience sa amin. Maybe they understand that what we did was just a task. But when I went online I read lots of negative reactions about me. It doesn’t affect me though. Okay naman ako sa family and friends ko. You don’t need to always explain yourself to people. They will say something bad kahit ano pa ang gawin mo. I don’t entertain those people.”
Mission complete for the Kuya's Darlings by Krishna Belle Meniado
January 31, 2010 12:29 AM
One word to wholly describe how the Kuya's Darlings did with the special tasks Big Brother asked them to deliver inside his house? Accomplished, that's what.
Just imagine how difficult it was for Princess, Rica and Yuri to return inside the house again and pose as "new old housemates." For one, they had to pretend they were still in it for the game. Another thing was that they had to be real careful on not being caught that they were just faking. And one more thing? They had to gain the trust of their housemates and rekindle friendships and other kinds of ties with them. Since, after all, they couldn't blame the housemates for not trusting them anymore after what they did during the Resbak Attack Week two weeks back. All in all, still a tough task to undergo, right?
So just imagine the relief that washed over them when finally Big Brother gave them permission to admit to the housemates that they weren't really "new old housemates." First, Rica made up the story of her going out via a voluntary exit because she didn't want to miss the upcoming birthday celebration of her boyfriend. This kind of worked but what triggered the downfall of their playing pretend was when Princess and Yuri hooked up in a big fight scene by the swimming pool in front of the other housemates, wherein the former pushed the latter into the cold water. This stunned the housemates but at the same time made them ponder on the authenticity of the actions made by the three. "Lalabas na nga si Rica eh, bakit pa sila gagawa ng eksenang ganyan? (Rica's going out already, why did they need to make that whole scene up?)" Paul Jake pointed out. Hence, the admission.
To sum things up, Big Brother gave the Kuya's Darlings a two-thumbs up for a "job well done." Oh, yes, the three aced the very hard-to-do tasks he gave them. They helped in revealing more of the housemates' truest emotions and characters. This reflected when Big Brother also talked to them in a separate meeting, wherein Melai spoke in behalf of the group by expressing how much she had learned from all the challenges they underwent. "It's the matter of how I take it. Lahat naman tayo nadadapa, nasa pagbangon at paglaban na lang yan (It's the matter of how I take it. All of us stumble, we just have to stand again and fight)," she reiterated.
It sure looked like the housemates have learned so much in such a short time! But will all these contribute in their continuing fight for the title of Big Winner? Watch how they will do it by tuning in to PBB Double Up every night!
Hello, Kuya's Darlings

Surprise, surprise! Bet nobody thought about Princess, Rica and Yuri being Kuya's Darlings, eh? But oh, yes, the three fiercest female ex-housemates will stay longer inside the Big Brother House to carry out a task given them... and this is still to measure the lengths of the housemates' characters, strengths and patience!
With three huge colorful eggs equivalent to the money the housemates lost with their crushed eggs which will contain their tasks, the three girls enter the house with the facade of being the "new housemates." Only now, these darlings are now going to be both on Kuya's side and the side of the people from the outside world! Doesn't PBB Double Up just get more and more exciting? Express your agreement by watching the show every night!
Princess's Fiery Tale by Krishna Belle Meniado
January 21, 2010 12:12 AM
If the preceding walk-ins of ex-housemates Delio, Cathy, Rica, Patrick and Yuri weren't successful in swaying the housemates to the desired outcome of the resbak attackers' planned psychological warfare, then the last visit from Rob and Princess did the trick. And with what happened, Big Brother might just have gotten more than what he bargained for.
Serious with their given task, Princess and Rob entered the house prepared to juice out the real temperaments of the housemates. But the latter were already subdued with all the disturbance sporadically peppered on them so in result, they did not handle the visit very well. Especially that Princess, making Rob look like Mr. Nicest Guy, did not hold anything back.
Once started, Princess couldn't help but raged on into full ***** mode. She started picking on the housemates, citing them the not-so-nice things they said about their fellow housemates during nominations. This fired Mariel up enough that she told tell Princess to leave the house already. Only encouraged, the latter strongly rebutted with, "Baka ikaw ang gustong umalis - bahay mo 'to? (Maybe you're the one who wants to leave - is this your house?)" and continued swinging around and annoying the housemates by the pool.
The little exchange only turned into a bigger cat fight when Mariel kept on yelling at Princess and Rob to leave as they were not welcome in the house. This was only greeted with Princess's spiteful words, "Do you think you're welcome here - or anywhere?" The rest of the housemates knew then that the confrontation was getting messy thus the boys - Paul Jake, Hermes and Johan - intervened.
But Princess was unstoppable that not even Rob, her fellow resbak attacker, could overtake. She continued raging Mariel, who was the most affected amongst the housemates. She taunted with, "You think you're deserving to be a housemate?" to which Mariel daringly replied with, "Well, at least, I'm still a housemate - deserving or not!" That gained cheers and applause from the rest of the resbak attackers, who were watching through the plasma TV in House B's living room.
More so, even though she was manned by Paul Jake, Princess got to throw eggs to the twin towers of dominoes guarded by Tibo in the middle of the pool. This scene totally tipped Mariel over to the edge and yanked Princess by the arm to get her away from the pool and make her leave the house. In defense, Princess punched her on the right shoulder which resulted to a more chaotic atmosphere for the housemates. That was when Paul Jake begged for Rob and Princess to leave because they didn't know anymore how to handle them.
When the two left, the housemates discussed the recent events and were confuzzled about what task Big Brother truly was giving them: was it to measure their views on the importance of money or was it to gauge their desire on winning the victory? For answers and more heart-clutching moments, tune in to PBB Double Up every night!
Tom's conscience wins him over
by Krishna Belle Meniado
January 21, 2010 12:11 AM
Psychological warfare probably isn't Tom's thing. Plus with his being blessed with a super conscience, he truly couldn't go on with the task Big Brother gave to him along with his ex-housemates in House B.
During dinnertime after their first attack, he expressed indignation about the whole resbak attack task to the others. He also voiced his pity for the housemates that were undergoing the psywar he and his fellow resbak attackers were cooking up against the former.
As the expression of concern was clear in each word he spoke, Big Brother called him for a talk inside the confession room. It was then and there that he asked to leave the house, which Big Brother freely granted.
When Big Brother later talked to the other resbak attackers separately, he explained to them why he let Tom go. This was so that his attitude wouldn't affect or influence the morale of the other resbak attackers in pushing through with the task of revealing the true colors of the housemates in House A.
Now, will Tom's leaving make the resbak attackers lose the will to continue the task? Or will their desire to pry on the real characters of the housemates steam up even more? Go and attack the TV every night to watch the next episodes of PBB Double Up!
