Jun Hirano: Dropped out

pinoy dream academy jun hirano picturesJun, the Japanese scholar, decided to drop out of the Academy. He was one of the four nominated for expulsion this Saturday, but since he will voluntarily go out of the school, the expulsion will be cancelled.

Why? The network said that Jun terribly missed his family and girlfriend. Actually, this has been a recurrent issue of Jun during the past weeks. We would regularly see him cry. He was also hospitalized the other day because of epistaxis (that's nosebleed, btw). He also thinks that he deserves to be expelled more than Gemma. And, of course, the culture shock and the language barrier.

All of these factors interplay to make him decide to quit. I know most of you was disappointed. We can't blame him.

I just hope they have like a guidance counsellor or a psychologist inside. And good luck to Jun.

2nd Nomination, a Shock

pinoy dream academy picturesWhat a shock!!!! The second batch of nominees for expulsion are the least I expected to be included. Michelle? Yeng? Jun? Oona? They seem to be the stronger contenders in the previous weeks. What can you say?

But the biggest question is that who will be saved by the voters? Based from this site, Michelle, Jun, and Yeng have the biggest fan base. Whose supporters will prevail in the voting?

And, this could be the one with the greatest number of voters in the history of the show worldwide. Let's see. Cheers to the cellphone networks! wink. wink.
