USAP-USAPAN ngayon sa social media ang rebelasyon ng dating “Pinoy Big Brother: Lucky Season 7” Teen housemate na si Christian Morones tungkol sa nomination process ng Bahay ni Kuya.
Viral na ngayon ang video mula sa kanyang TikTok live kung saan ikinuwento niya ang naging karanasan noon habang nomination nila sa PBB.
“Hindi nila tinatanggap minsan. Sasabihin sa iyo. It happened to me. Hindi nila tatanggapin ‘yong point mo,” lahad ni Christina.
Pagpapatuloy niya, “Halimbawa, ‘Binibigyan ko po ng one point si kenemerut kasi kanina kinuha niya po ‘yong itlog na dapat kakainin ko na iniwan ko sa plate.’ Ganiyan. Basta like that.”

Chika ni Christian, hihingian daw sila ng ibang dahilan kung bakit nila nino-nominate ang isang tao.
“Sasabihin niya sa ‘yo, ‘Kailangan ko ng ibang dahilan. Hindi ko matatanggap.’ May mga gumaganon. Seryoso,” sey pa niya.
Paglilinaw ni Christian, hindi naman scripted ang PBB at patunay nga dito ant ipinakita niyang ugali sa loob at labas ng Bahay ni Kuya.
“‘Scripted talaga?’ Hindi. Noong batch namin, I can 100% say na hindi. Mukha ba akong mag-scripted? Hanggang ngayon parehas pa rin ang ugali ko, hindi.
“I’m just gonna say this once. Of course everybody know me kasi ako ‘yong attitude, ako ‘yong maldita, ako ‘yong buwisit sa buhay nila. ‘Yong mga ganoon,” diin ni Christian.
Umani naman ng samu’t-saring komento mula sa madlang netizens ang naturang video clip.
“Hala. Di ba may NDA silang pinirmahan dyan? OMG, baka malagot si Christian sa pasabog niya,” saad ng isang netizen.
Comment naman ng isa, “Yung rason ang hindi tinatanggap, hindi kung sinong housemate. Puro mahihina kukote niyo”
“Ganun naman tlaga, bale hindi iisang reason lang ang iiask sa HMs. example 2 points kay Kuya, dapat may reasons ka, para gagamitin nila sa editing,” sabi pa ng isa.
Giit naman ng isa, “Laughtrip! As someone na nagwork sakanila before, for the past seasons kasi may mga hms na any any lang ang dahilan ng pag nominate. Kaya dapat VALID yung reason para i-nominate mo co-hm mo.”
Samantala, wala pa namang inilalabas na pahayag ang produksyon ng PBB kaugnay rito.

There are video game companies, and then there’s Take-Two Interactive.
The company morphed into an entertainment unicorn of sorts with the 2013 video game GTA V, which shattered sales records upon release.
But GTA V’s real success — and what truly set Take-Two apart — came in the 13 years that followed. GTA Online became a thriving hub for players to explore the game, spend on virtual currency, and buy add-on content.
This has, understandably, pushed expectations skyward for GTA VI, the series’ latest installment, which is due out on Nov. 19. Investors don’t just want monstrous first-week sales. They’re looking for Take-Two’s next GTA Online-style annuity — something that can keep paying them for years.
To be clear, Take-Two makes other products, including the NBA 2K series and a full mobile suite through Zynga. But for the company’s stock, GTA VI is the only game in town right now (pun intended).
The chart below shows Take-Two stock essentially living and dying with each subsequent GTA VI update.
Shares are up 26% since the start of 2025, trailing the S&P 500’s 30% return over the period. Take-Two was actually outpacing the index until the fall from July record highs, though a sharp rally in recent days has helped close the gap.
Wall Street is all in
Share volatility or not, Wall Street is unanimously bullish on Take-Two. All 33 analysts tracked by Bloomberg have a “buy” rating on it, and the average 12-month price target calls for 26% upside from Wednesday’s close.
A large swath of analysts reiterated their views after Take-Two said GTA VI presales were “far in excess” of expectations. Outside estimates put preorders at more than 7 million, worth roughly $750 million in sales.

Investors — and Wall Street’s sell side — were willing to overlook a decline in quarterly bookings and disappointing sales of NBA 2K27 to focus on GTA VI.
Still, a major question mark is when Take-Two will expand GTA VI — which is launching with just a single-player mode — into the multiplayer experience players have come to expect. And how will that fit into its existing GTA+ subscription service?
Wall Street can’t accurately model that piece yet, but it may determine whether the game lives up to mammoth expectations.
An industry tide-lifter — and a one-of-one stock
GTA VI’s broader impact is complicated. No other franchise is quite like it, and the 13-year gap between installments makes it an unusually concentrated event.
It could still lift PlayStation and Xbox console sales into the holidays as gamers upgrade. But Sony and Microsoft are too diversified to be true GTA VI-linked stocks. With EA now private, Take-Two is the rare large US-listed gamemaker whose valuation hinges largely on one blockbuster.
The pessimistic view is that GTA VI takes a bite out of rival publishers. Gamers have finite time and money, which is why studios have spent years giving GTA launch windows plenty of room.
In the end, Take-Two is not a one-game company. But it is a one-game stock right now. In exactly one week, we’ll start finding out whether its next GTA era can be as lucrative as the last.

Gone is the young and mischievous Naruto Uzumaki in Boruto. The Seventh Hokage has matured into a responsible adult, carrying the immense burden of maintaining peace and order throughout the shinobi world. With so many duties demanding his attention, he barely has time for fun and games anymore, let alone training sessions.
That doesn’t mean adult Naruto has grown soft, as the Seventh Hokage remains a formidable shinobi in Boruto. Although several members of the next generation have surpassed his current power level, adult Naruto still packs a serious punch and can give even the strongest rivals a hard time in one-on-one combat.

Himawari Is Becoming What Adult Naruto Can No Longer Be
boruto adult naruto strongest rivals
Losing Kurama has become a significant disadvantage for Naruto, as he can no longer rely on the Tailed Beast’s immense chakra reserves or the powerful forms they once shared on the battlefield. Instead, Naruto is left with Sage Mode and his remaining abilities, making him considerably more vulnerable against powerful opponents.
By contrast, Naruto’s once-vulnerable daughter, Himawari, who previously relied on her Byakugan for self-defense, has now bonded with Kurama. This newfound bond has significantly enhanced her abilities, allowing her to fight alongside the strongest shinobi on the frontlines. Thanks to her natural compatibility with the young Kurama, Himawari can even unleash powers that Naruto himself once wielded.

Sakura Has the Strength to Become Naruto’s Hokage Successor

Sakura Haruno has long accepted her position as the weakest member of the original Team 7, but that doesn’t make her a weak fighter overall. Although Naruto and Sasuke are far beyond her in terms of strength, Sakura is still a formidable kunoichi capable of holding her own against powerful opponents. In fact, she is arguably a more suitable candidate to replace Naruto as Hokage than Konohamaru.
However, Boruto still needs to showcase Sakura’s full potential on the battlefield. Rather than joining the front lines, she has mostly remained behind the scenes, taking responsibility for medical care and support. Despite surpassing Tsunade in strength, Sakura has yet to reveal what she can accomplish against the sequel’s strongest enemies. Hopefully, when the Leaf Village faces its most desperate moments, she will finally have the opportunity to prove herself as one of Naruto’s strongest eternal rivals.

Adult Naruto and Adult Sasuke’s Strength Is Still Too Close to Call
boruto adult naruto strongest rivals
Sasuke Uchiha continues to rival Naruto even in adulthood, with both shinobi remaining relatively close in strength. Neither has a clear advantage over the other in their current state, although their power losses in Boruto have left them considerably weaker than they were in their prime. Their reduced abilities have also allowed the next generation of shinobi to surpass them in certain respects.
Perhaps the biggest factor that could separate the two now is who receives a new power-up first. An additional ability could give either Naruto or Sasuke a significant advantage and potentially shift the balance of their rivalry. Regardless, their relationship in Boruto remains one of the healthiest rivalries in the series. They still push each other to improve, but their competition is no longer driven by hostility or resentment.

Code Could Kill Naruto on Behalf of Isshiki
boruto adult naruto strongest rivals
Code is currently hunting down Naruto, seeking revenge for Isshiki Otsutsuki, whose existence ultimately came to an end through the combined efforts of Naruto and his allies. With his limiters intact, Code might still be an opponent Naruto could defeat. However, removing those limiters would put the Seventh Hokage at a considerable disadvantage.
After all, Code is stated to surpass Jigen in power, the same Jigen who once overwhelmed Naruto and Sasuke with little difficulty. Now that Naruto has lost Kurama and can no longer access Baryon Mode, Code holds a significant advantage over him. His Claw Marks shinjutsu also makes him an exceptionally dangerous assassin, giving him a considerable chance of defeating Naruto if they ever cross paths.

Kawaki’s New Powers Have Put Him Above Naruto’s Level
boruto adult naruto strongest rivals
Kawaki Uzumaki is willing to do whatever it takes to keep his father figure safe from harm. He wants to eliminate every powerful villain who threatens Naruto’s life, even if it means becoming the villain in everyone’s eyes. With new abilities at his disposal, Kawaki manages to seal Naruto away in another dimension without giving him a chance to fight back.
At this point, Kawaki is progressively surpassing Naruto through his body modifications, Karma powers, and Kokugan abilities. These upgrades have made him a formidable shinobi who can rival not only Naruto but also Boruto, who has already surpassed the Seventh Hokage. However, if Kawaki and Naruto ever faced each other in battle, Kawaki would likely refuse to fight seriously, not because he lacks the strength to win, but because he simply cannot bring himself to hurt the man he considers his father.

Boruto Has Surpassed Adult Naruto and Their Roles Have Been Completely Reversed
boruto adult naruto strongest rivals
The early arcs of Boruto portrayed Naruto as significantly more powerful than his son. He was always there to protect Boruto from powerful alien threats, even putting his own life on the line, because the young Uzumaki couldn’t handle such formidable enemies by himself. However, following Momoshiki’s defeat, Boruto received several incredibly powerful upgrades that dramatically boosted his abilities.
Now, Boruto has surpassed Naruto in raw power, effectively switching their roles as protector and the one in need of protection. This is especially evident with Jura and the other Shinju Clones posing a threat to Naruto’s life. Unfortunately, Naruto has few opportunities to grow stronger, unlike Boruto, who continues to develop his abilities and unlock new powers. As such, Boruto remains one of the most exciting shinobi to watch in the sequel.

Momoshiki Could Force Naruto Into Another Battle He Cannot Avoid
boruto adult naruto strongest rivals
Momoshiki Otsutsuki came to Earth to accomplish what Kaguya Otsutsuki had failed to achieve. His goal was to harvest the planet’s vast chakra resources, including the power of Naruto’s Kurama, making a confrontation between the two inevitable. As expected, the pair eventually crossed paths on the battlefield, putting their incredible abilities to the test.
In a one-on-one fight, Momoshiki proves to be the superior fighter, capable of overwhelming Naruto even in his Six Paths Sage Mode. Even without consuming chakra pills or absorbing Kinshiki Otsutsuki, Momoshiki possesses enough power to restrain the Seventh Hokage and extract half of Kurama’s chakra from him. Among all the Otsutsuki introduced in Boruto, Momoshiki is arguably the one Naruto has the most unfinished business with.

Isshiki Could Have Killed Naruto Without Baryon Mode

Isshiki Otsutsuki experienced firsthand what Naruto could accomplish with one of his most powerful transformations in Boruto. Baryon Mode Naruto operated on an entirely different level, overwhelming Isshiki with his incredible speed and strength. If it weren’t for the transformation’s strict time limit and immense physical strain, Naruto might have defeated the Otsutsuki in a matter of minutes.
That said, Isshiki could easily overpower Naruto without Baryon Mode. His unpredictable combination of attacks and devastating abilities pushed both Naruto and Sasuke to their limits, even allowing him to seal Naruto in another dimension. Although Isshiki has since left the series, his battle against Naruto remains a clear showing of just how dangerous the Otsutsuki clan’s strongest members can be.

Jura Has the Power to Destroy Everything Naruto Protected
boruto adult naruto strongest rivals
As of this writing, Jura stands as the greatest threat to Naruto’s life in Boruto. He is determined to track down Naruto, claim his head, and ultimately destroy the shinobi world that the Seventh Hokage spent his adult life protecting. If Kawaki fails to keep Naruto safe in another dimension and Jura manages to locate him, there is a strong possibility that Naruto could be killed unless someone intervenes.
As the strongest of the Shinju Clones, Jura is arguably the most dangerous villain in the sequel who needs to be stopped immediately. He possesses extraordinary Wood Release that rivals Hashirama Senju’s, alongside the immense power of the Ten-Tails and the Rinnegan. Fortunately, Jura has yet to act as aggressively as he could. Otherwise, the shinobi world might have already fallen before Naruto gets the chance to return from his dimensional prison.
MAY malisya nga ba talaga ang pagiging malapit at clingy ng Kapuso actress na si Mikee Quintos sa kapwa Kapamilya housemate na si Jeo Ong?
Marami na kasi ang nakakapansin na tila iba na ang mga nagiging kilos ng dalaga sa tuwing kasama nito ang nakababatang housemate.
Close naman na talaga sina Mikee at Jeo kahit na sandali pa lang silang nagkakasama dahil na rin sa parehas silang mahilig sa adventure at sa dagat.
Sa katunayan, marami rin ang mga sumusuporta dahil “sibling-coded” ang dalawa sa kakulitan.
Baka Bet Mo: Mikee Quintos may isinumbong kay Kuya, binalikan thesis issue

Ngunit kamakailan ay naging kwestiyunable kung “kapatid” ba talaga ang turing ni Mikee kay Jeo matapos mapanood sa livestream ang pagkagat nito sa muscle ng binata habang isinasagawa ang kanilang weekly task.
Marami ang hindi nagustuhan ang aksyon ng Kapuso actress dahilan para mapatanong sila kung may gusto ba ang aktres sa kasama.
Nag-trending nga si Mikee sa ilang social media sites at narito ang ilang mga komento:
“Parang hindi na ate yang galawan. Wag kami te! Feeling ko may gusto siya pero ayaw lang ipahalata,” saad ng isang netizen.
Comment naman ng isa, “Kahit di reversed role, this is already harassment. Nakakaawa si Jeo, jusko. Surely, di nya naiintindihan na mali ginawa sakanya since very approachable and accommodating syang tao.”
“Sa totoo lang nakakadiri na mga galawan ni Mikee kay Jeo. She needs to get evicted na talaga,” sabi ng isa.
Hirit naman ng isa, “Stop using your “ate card” as an excuse to be touchy with a young boy. It’s honestly uncomfortable to watch. I feel the same way when an older guy gets too touchy with a young girl. Let’s be real, regardless of gender or intentions, people should know their boundaries and respect personal space.”
Well, sa ngayon ay hindi natin malalaman ang panig nina Mikee at Jeo dahil nasa loob pa sila ng Bahay ni Kuya.
Bukas naman ang BANDERA para sa panig ng mga taong malalapit sa dalawa sa outside world.

Adobe used the second day of its MAX creative conference to roll out 10 experimental technologies, a slate weighted toward artificial intelligence tools that reshape how creators edit images, video and sound. The annual Sneaks session, held Nov. 11, has become the venue where the San Jose, California-based software maker previews work still in its research labs, and a number of past demonstrations have later surfaced as shipping features.
The centerpiece demonstrations leaned on making complex workflows feel tactile. Project Deep Brush drew heavy attendee interest by letting users apply color as though painting directly onto walls, columns or car bodies captured in photos and video, with surface contours, highlights and shadows preserved. Adobe said the goal is to let creators stop adjusting individual pixels and instead explore a scene as if it were physical space.
Project Sight Span converts a flat photo, painting or illustration into a navigable three-dimensional environment, generating plausible objects and background outside the original frame. The 3D preview appears rough, but resolution is restored once a viewing angle is locked in. Repositioned facial features and tattoos remain recognizable and faithful to the source.
Project Screen Test pushes character design into conversation. Rather than writing a text prompt, a user assigns baseline traits such as anxious, shy or awkward, picks a voice, then talks with the character to fill in backstory, fears, movement quirks and goals. The tool then renders animated screen tests placing that persona in a described scenario.
Several projects target repetitive drudgery. Project Rinse Repeat copies an edit made in Photoshop and reapplies it automatically to other subjects or objects in the same image, adapting shadows to the shape and position of a differently sized product. Because it rebuilds the changes with native Photoshop tools, the results stay editable.
Others aim at motion and audio. Project On Cue gives users an “event curve” control to dictate how many times an action occurs in AI-generated footage and when, and to sync movement with music. Project Live Set allows on-the-fly changes during video generation. Project Sound Bender turns a text description of a desired noise into generated effects arranged on a square sound canvas, where dragging a cursor shifts the mix in real time; it can also isolate and recombine audio from existing clips.
Rounding out the list, Project Link Up lets Illustrator users drag an object to a new spot and have AI read the surroundings to match size, direction and perspective. Project Scene Sweep alters a performer’s wardrobe, styling or props across an entire video from a one-line prompt, potentially sparing reshoots. Project Hands On marks editable control points on objects so users can drag a perfume bottle into a diamond shape or lengthen a sofa without typing anything.
Adobe design evangelist Kelsey Sleigh, who co-hosted with actor Terry Crews, noted that Relight, the AI lighting tool shown at last year’s Sneaks, is now a standard Photoshop feature – a reminder that these previews are not idle experiments.
“Making these interactions more intuitive is also about giving experienced creatives more precise control,” Gautham Mysore, a senior principal research scientist at Adobe, told The Verge. He pointed to Sound Bender’s sonic exploration and Sight Span’s camera positioning as ways professionals can apply judgment and refine results directly. “That connection between creative intent and control is a big part of what we’re exploring.”
None of the 10 projects carries a release date, and Adobe has not committed to shipping any of them. Most are built on the company’s generative AI research, and with AI now central to its growth strategy, at least some are expected to reach Creative Cloud apps or the Firefly platform.
The stakes extend beyond product roadmaps. Adobe’s creative software business rests on subscriptions to tools that professionals have spent years mastering; features that collapse hours of retouching, compositing or sound design into a prompt or a drag threaten to reset the value of those skills, and to displace the stock libraries and manual workflows that agencies and studios currently bill for. The same capabilities also lower the barrier for smaller teams and solo creators, widening the pool of potential subscribers.
A common thread runs through the slate: turning technical, multi-step processes into something closer to direct manipulation. Some of the demonstrations verge on novelty, but each is aimed at a practical edit – a shadow that needs to match, a sound that needs layering, a camera angle that does not exist in the original shot.
