PBB 'Big Swap' New Housemate: Katlin From Finland

Kätlin is from Estonia, but at the age of 16, she took off and settled down in Finland. This was no mean feat, but she considers her move as her biggest achievement to date.It was in Finland that she truly learned the value of independence and appreciation of things. She does not want to miss out on life, standing by her motto to “Live one day at a time”. Kätlin takes this belief further, tending to splurge without setting some money aside. The primary culprit is her love for going on shopping sprees, which wipes out any hope for saving.

Shopping makes her lose track of time, but with other things, she is quite impatient. Her other pet peeves are those who have an inflated ego and who try too much to please others. She values sincerity and openness in others, and resents people who lie just to get people to like them. Kätlin gravitates towards those who, like her, are friendly and outgoing.

Yes, she is ready to take on the world, but her future plans remain quite grounded. She dreams of settling down with her ideal man, have a couple of children, and be financially secure. She describes her ideal guy as someone caring, romantic and understanding. He would also have to be funny, athletic, open and handsome.

This single gal works as a food processing worker in Finland, but chose to grab the opportunity to take part in the Big Brother experience. It didn’t take long for her to agree to the Big Swap, and she was quite enthusiastic in exploring yet another place. Though she admits to missing her loved ones and being active in the outside world, she looks forward to the new experience.

It is precisely this optimism that strengthens her in coping with difficult and unfamiliar situations. One of the biggest hurdles she had to overcome was the language barrier. She candidly shared some embarrassing experiences, such as calling the car shop to complain about her car not getting excited, when she actually meant that it would not accelerate. Despite setbacks, Kätlin strives to see the good side and finds reasons to smile, an asset for her as she heads off to yet another foreign country.

Kätlin has already left Big Brother Finland, and will soon be entering one of the PBB Houses. How will the other housemates relate to her? Will she be able to cope as well as she expected, or will she get a culture shock from her Pinoy housemates? Which housemate will be an ally, and who will be foe? Things are getting more and more exciting, so make sure you don’t miss out on the updates!
