ZEKE DIMAGULA may be mistaken for a Fil-Am but he is actually pure Filipino who had been living in Australia until last February, when he decided to come home. He auditioned for ABS-CBN’s Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2 and, fortunately, he made it to the reality search. However short-lived his stay was in Kuya’s House, it was nonetheless a most memorable experience since he felt he was not far away from home.

He is proud to be a certified PBB housemate. Because of the reality show, he was given a chance to be seen on TV and known by the general public. This unico hijo enjoys doing comedy but is also interested in doing a teleserye. Zeke also had the chance to work with Anne Curtis and Aga Muhlach in the upcoming Star Cinema movie Waiting for Love, where he plays a friend of Anne. He hopes to do hosting jobs in the near future.

RAISED in Australia but 100 percent Pinoy, Zeke Dimagula would like to parlay his stay in Kuya’s House to bigger and better things.

You recently turned 22. How did you celebrate your birthday?

My friends made dinner and just hung out. It was pretty cool and laidback, which is the kind of thing I like.

What did you wish for?

Nothing. I don’t know. I don’t even remember! (Laughs)

You’re celebrating Christmas here. Is this your first time here?

No, it’s not. This will be my second actually, but the first without my parents.

Do you miss your folks?

Yes, I do but I always get in touch with them. They are very supportive of me and I love them for that. My mom went home recently. Also, I stay here with my relatives so it’s also like I’m with my parents.

What do you miss most about Australia?

Besides my parents, probably the weather. It’s very hot here. But that’s just about it. It’s very boring there actually!

What made you decide to pursue a career here?

It’s not so much the career but the people here. I like being here because people here are much happier than in Australia.

More or less you know what’s happening inside the Big Brother house since you’ve been a housemate. What do you think of the Celebrity Edition now?

I don’t get to watch it that much but they’re a very interesting bunch. I would like Yayo (Aguila) to win. I think she will win.

What do you wish you’d done inside the Big Brother house?

Nothing much but I wished that they could have shown that we are multidimensional people. Because of the show, some people had the tendency to box us housemates into certain characters. But all in all, I had fun there.

You’re now working with Aga Muhlach and Anne Curtis in an upcoming movie. How is it working with them?

Pretty fun. It’s very enjoyable and laidback. They’re very nice and admirable in how they work.

You wish to star in a teleserye. What kind would you want to star in?

Something action-filled and I should be the good guy!

You also want to host. What kind of show?

I want a music show. Or something niche, like a special-interest show or a travel show where I get to eat all kinds of exotic food! (Chuckles)

You’ve never had a long-term girlfriend. Why so?

It costs too much! (Laughs)

Still fresh on the avenue

“HOW do you keep it fresh?”

Whether referring to a seemingly centuries-old relationship with your partner or the smell of your body, this question—if you think about it beyond foreskin—sounds more like a command.

Cooks: The Enjoyment of Recipes and Cooking Techniques

BEFORE recipe books became accessible in this country, we relied on the recipes printed in the boxes and can labels of food products and ingredients. From can labels, I learned to make my first leche flan.

Italian Gold

WHAT costs P50,000 per 100 grams is hard to find—and you need a pig to do it—is available only on certain months of the year, and is treasured by Italians? It’s white Alba truffles.

For parents who want to make ‘tipid’

IT’S a lovely foam bed, about two-and-a-half meters wide, four meters long and six inches thick. When I push my palm into it, it doesn’t easily yield, just perfect for my one-year-and-one-month-old daughter to practice her walking.

Something Like Life: Loveless on Christmas?

YOU have just renewed your membership to SMAP (Samahan ng Malalamig ang Pasko). Every time you hear the song “Pasko Na Sinta Ko” played on the radio, you want to go out and shoot your neighbor’s dog.

A Stroke of Health

SOME people believe in luck. That’s why they line up for hours to join game shows. They wait in front of the TV to catch lottery results. And they can never resist betting some money at a card game once in a while.
