JULY GAY EVENTS

I tried to update my blog sa kahit anong paraan alam ko… kaya lang kalaban ko talaga ang katamaran at kalandian.  Minsan kasi walang time kaya sana, yung ibang tagapagtangkilik ko (naks…sarap naman pakingan) which includes my gay hag, my auntie and my pet dog Brunoay  - patawarin nyu sana ang inyong abang lingkod.

Minsan rin kasi eh sobrang kaunti ang nakukuha kong mga updates lalo na yung nagdaang June Gay Pride.  Buti pa yung mga taga-states…super updated sila with matching Gay Pride Parade.  Kaenget!!!

Kay eto na…resulta nang aking pagkadismaya at dahil nagyun lang ako may extrang araw para magdildil ng oras sa internet shop dito sa may kanto, sisimulan ko this month of July ang mga gay events na minsan na ring nilambing sa akin.  I hope na we support this events in lieu with our fairy godmothers… pagipunan na ang mga araw na ito at wag kalimutan na yayain ang inyong blogger…. may FB account ako at ‘i-poke’ ako ng bonnga para ma-poke din kita…

2011 GAY PRIDE

since i missed WHITE PRIDE last June 25 in Malate due to lack of info from the local community, let me just share the happiness that shines the world as pixie dust were blessed amongst little pink monsters.  Name it … The street of Moscow, Milan, Sydney, Tokyo, San Francisco etc. were literally filled with rainbow colors as we show the world how PROUD we were – we are BORN THIS WAY… and GOD MAKES NO MISTAKES!! (right Gaga!)

 

Here are some pictures from around the world which i have been able to snug in cyberspace.  So come OUT, come OUT wherever you ARE!!!!

 

Kurt’s greatest performance … ever!

‘i want to hold your hands’ Glee version is one of the best renditions i have ever heard so far.  The powerful voice and superb performance of Kurt Hummel indeed crave me for more.

Naka-relate ako sa pinagdadaanan ni Kurt on this episode kasi i lost both of my parents so far.  Ulilang lubos na nga kumbaga.  And ang relationship ko to my father of me being gay is somehow in a gray area since he never knew that im GAY even from when he finally said ‘goodbye’.

the lyrics and how he delivered it is something i never had done and how i wish nagawa ko when he was still living. But i know somehow he may have been proud of me kahit na bading ako.  You see, dalawa lang kami and ako ang nag-iisang lalaki na anak niya.  Plus, i’m the only boy amongst the last generation ng family namin. Lahat kasi ng pinsan ko eh babae and ako na lang sana ang DAPAT na magpapalaganap sana ng family name namin.  I feel na im a huge disappointment sa sarili ko and sa buong family..somehow.

Di ko na fulfill ang obligation ko to my parents but i hopw that i somehow make up for it since i single handedly support my sister and her four kids since my brother in law left them.  I may not be able to deliver and hopefully give what they want pero i hope all my sacrifices for my family is enough for them to be proud of me.

I just hoped that i can tell my father that i do love him as well kahit na di ako yung pinangarap nilang maging anak.

 

 

5 handy checklist bago ka ma fall-in-LOVE

Alam ko… super gusto mo na yung bagong guy sa work or sa class nyo.  Na sa tuwing dadaan siya sa harapan mo ay parang nag-slow motion ang bawat segundo at sa di mawaring kadahilanan ‘ a sudden gush of wind blows your hair’.  Minsan mo na siyang nakausap at muntik ka ng matunaw dahil SIYA NA NGA BEKI ang pinakahihintay hintay and dinadalangin sa poong maykapal kaya naman kahit may kalyo na ang mga tuhod mo, go ka pa rin sa pagrorosaryo.

Kaya eto ka na…handing handa na to GIVE LOVE A CHANCE…

PERO HEP HEP HEP… bago ang lahat.  Basahin mo muna itong LIMANG CHECKLIST na hinanda ko para sayo bago ka magpaka-lukaret sa bago mong BOY TOY.

1. Know him well. Baka naghahanap lang siya ng ‘kalinga’ habang hindi sila OK ng EX niya.  Mahirap naman na nagkapag-invest ka ng bonga sa bago mong Papa – financially and emotionally, eh bigla ka niyang iwanan dahil nagkabalikan sila ng dati niyang dyowa.  Pero have no fear mare, dahil madaling malaman ang ganitong lalaki.  Yung mga tipong always BIDA BEST ang mga EX nila sa lahat ng conversation nyo and to think one week pa lang silang kabre-break.  Pag ganito ang sitwasyon, ayyyyy…scary.

2. Ingat sa mga PA-SWEET or PA-YUMMY. Naku po ang dami nyan and I know someone sa work na ganyan.  Huwag na huwag magpapagoyo sa mga ‘PA-FALL’ na tao.  Kuwidaw ka sa mga taong ganyan dahil imbes sa Bed of Roses ka bumagsak eh sa BANGIN ka niya itulak.  Ito yung mga taong ang tawag ko ay ‘PATAKAM’. In fact, may mga ganitong mga STRAIGHT na gustong may mga admirers dahil they feel somehow relevant.  Medyo mahirap ma-detect ang mga ganito.  I even call them ‘SMOOTH OPERATOR’.  Aalam nila kung saan ka nila lilinlangin and alam nila agad ang mga weakness mo.  Be very afraid mare.

3. Know something about his past. Halungkatin ang history ng lolo mo.  Malay mo, isa lang pala itong revenge sa dating dyowa niya na umiwan sa kanya.

4.  Know your status. Dahil hindi sa lahat ng oras ay kailangan ng ‘RELASYON’

5.  Control your feelings, suppress if necessary. Dahil hindi lahat ng maganda sa pakiramdam ay ‘TAMA’.  Huwag kang parang hayok na GRAB NA LANG GRAB.  Hindi na baling maghintay ng ilang taon basta ba when you finally meet him ay ISANG BUONG TAO ka na gurl.   Di ba nga ang sabi ‘TRUE LOVE LIES TO PEOPLE WHO KNOWS HOW TO WAIT FOR THE RIGHT TIME’.

Gay LOVE (1)

WHY is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than two men holding hands?

–Ernest Gaines, author

PARE… SOBRANG CHEEEZY: a gay guy’s hopeless romantic day dream (series 3)

of course, text messages plays a vital role in our modern lives.  these three text messages may have brighten up my day, placed a smile in my face and pulls that day dreamer in me that someday, my prince will come…

CHEEZY MOMENT # 1

Two boys both grew up as bestfriends. They became very close to each other that they promised never to get separated from one another.  Years have passed and the other  decided to get married .  just after the wedding, the best friend texted his buddy and confessed his true feelings: “tol congrats. Gusto ko lang malaman mo na love kita. Kung hindi lang sana tayo parehong lalaki…” his bestfriend replied ‘pare kung sinabi mo lang sana naipaglaban kita….”

CHEEZY MOMENT # 2

I WANT  a guy who can proudly say… I LOVE YOU  even in front of many people.

Who can see me beautiful. Who can show me off  to his parents saying ‘ma this is my boyfriend’ and who can hold my hand in front of his friends and could proudly say ‘pare he’s my life and my everything’

CHEEZY MOMENT # 3

For once I wanna be the reason why he cuts his hair just because I told him so

The reason why he eats something just because its my favorite food

The reason why he buys a shit just because we the same color

The reason why he falls asleep while holding his phone at night

The reason why he loves something he use to hate cause I love it

And lastly, I wanna be the reason why he smiles…laughs

I wann be the ‘BECAUSE’ of his every ‘WHY’S

OUT & PROUD STORIES salutes NEIL PATRICK HARRIS

 

He is a recipient of YOUNG ARTIST AWARD for three consecutive years (1990-1992) and was nominated twice for Golden Globes (1989 & 1992) and Emmy Awards (2007 & 2008).  He even knocks a nomination for Teen Choice Awards (2007) and Peoples Choice (2008).  The talented and funny man NEIL PATRICK HARRIS has nothing more to prove.

 

Though he is best known as a whiz kid – Doogie Howser, M.D. and currently as the womanizing Barney Stinson in How I Met Your Mother , HARRIS has proven admitting once sexual preference is NOT a persons eternal mistake.  It serves as a benchmark that being gay in the public’s eye is just a phase and NOT a career suicide.

 

In November 2006, after a report about Harris’ romantic relationship with actor David Burtka surfaced on an online site, Harris came out publicly in People magazine.  He explained that he had been openly gay in his personal life and in the theater community.  He explained, “[T]he public eye has always been kind to me, and until recently I have been able to live a pretty normal life. Now it seems there is speculation and interest in my private life and relationships. So, rather than ignore those who choose to publish their opinions without actually talking to me, I am happy to dispel any rumors or misconceptions and am quite proud to say that I am a very content gay man living my life to the fullest and feel most fortunate to be working with wonderful people in the business I love.”  Harris and Burtka have been together since 2004 and he refers David as ‘his better half and an amzing chef’.  Their first public appearnce as gay couple is through the 2007 Emmy Awards.

 

The clip below shows Harris appearance at The Ellen DeGeneres Show wherein he discusses his sexual preference. 

the LAST goodbye…

 

 

 

for the past few months, I have been emotionally attached with a guy whom I thought I would hold his hands forever…

 

sure he is not perfect…which I have learned to accept.  He is a writer and a professor at the same time.  Plus a full scholar in a well known university.  he just finished his thesis and from what I’ve heard from him, it was a success.  but dating a writer has its own dilemma – they love their computers rather than humans.

 

and it seems they are living on a world they have created. ika nga ‘may sariling mundo’

 

I admit that we have our shortcomings…and we have learned to admit that both has its own special ways that we learned to love and missed.

 

pero for several months… mga 5 to 6 months na on and off relationship…(and cherish the days na magkasama kami…well siguro mga ilang times lan yun pero at least…im comfortable and dont have to prove anything pag kasama ko siya…)

 

until … such time that I felt nothing and puzzled why…

 

maybe perhaps that time and schedule has been difficult for both of us.  our ideas are way different and we don’t share a common goal. 

 

…the last good bye that I have with him over the phone gave me an idea that we are not really for each other…

 

I’m not in pain

I’m not broken hearted

and I did not feel anything

…even remorse

 

weird

siguro, some things are not meant to be together

 

but its far more better that I have to let go for we may both find ourselves a little bag of happiness… freedom.

 

YES …  I admit … I have learned to love him.  At least I knew that I tried to work things out…kaya lang…hanggang dun na lang yun….

 

dont get me wrong…I’m not shedding tears…nor am I sad.  It’s a feeling that I cant even explain…its as if I’m in peace… calm and peaceful.

 

as you thread your way to China, Mike, I just want you to know that I wish you the best on what the future may bring.  and how I may hope that we will find each other on loving arms of another guy who could love us behind our little craziness. 

 

and someday…we would could sing a beautiful ballad ‘I remember the boy but I don’t remember the feeling anymore’

video review:Day Break

DAY BREAK, created by Adolf Alix Jr explores the relationship between a boat man and a married man trapped in a relationship who have to both confront their own issues in an evening of revelation. According to its creator, Daybreak depicts the crossroads in that relationship. Which will William (played by Paolo Rivero) choose—his lustful needs or his marriage?

Played by indie films golden boy Coco Martin and Gawad Urian Best Actor nominee Paolo Rivero, the said film were launched in the month of February, 2008 as an alternative date movie recorded the highest grossing indie film by that time.  Its backdrop were set against the picturesque Taal Lake. The misty fog that covers the pine trees at dawn best represents the films core dilemma. The locations geographical location and its majestic ‘day break’ on a golden lake with a volcano at its center are the mian considerations of its creator as revealed in one of his interviews. “I like using nature to represent what’s going on in my character’s relationships,” he explains. “When you think of Tagaytay, you think of cool weather, so it’s definitely an important element in the story.”

the films well captured cinematography is a commendable feat as the films entirety were shot using digital camera.  its simplicity and metaphorical representation has gave the film volume in terms of visuals and telling a story by using representations and images out from the materials you could found inside the house and its environment.  applause! applause!

in my opinion, though the movie tried to break in a unique story set within 24 hours who tried to provide resolution before the end of the film, i felt the movie is quite long, boring and dragging.

i know, i know a lot of people may contest about my review pero sorry po…di talaga ako naging masaya.  i felt, medyo nasayang yung pinambili ko ng DVD (hahahahahahaha).  It just so happen na 3 beses kong inulit yung film dahil inantok ako habang pinapanood ko ito.  yung last nga atang ulit ko eh puro fast forward na lang ang ginawa ko para matapos lang yung film.  para naman masabi ng mga kaibigan ko na napanood ko yung pelikula.  Paano nga pala nag-end yung film??? eeeppp nakalimutan ko (hahahahahahhaa)

ITS TRUE!!! akala nga ng sis ko nagsasayang lang ako ng kuryente pero parang lullaby yung buong film (hahahahahahaha).  The creator may have some reason why he have to make the film agonizingly loooongggg and draggiiiing and its his art and no one can contest about it.

im just saying my opinion as a an audience and consumer so stop throwing rocks at me (ansakit kaya…ouch).

Though i love Coco Martin pero i barely enjoy the film.

guidelines in finding ‘true love’ (part 2)

 

 

It seems that I have saved a lot of forwarded messages that caters mostly in ‘finding true love’… so let me share 12 more guidelines that I patiently retyped:

 

guide 6: nothing matters

 

You’re NOT going to be his LAST…

his FIRST…

nor his ONLY.

 

He loved before, he will love again. 

But if he loves you now, WHAT ELSE MATTERS?  

 

He is not perfect, you’re not either. 

 

If he can make you laugh and he admits to being human and making mistakes, be with him. 

He is not gonna be thinking of you every moment of the day, but he will give you a part that he knows you can break – his heart. 

 

So don’t hurt him…

don’t change him…

don’t analyze and don’t expect more than he can give. 

 

Smile when he makes you happy, because perfect guys don’t exist.

 

guide 7: DON’T CHEAT!

 

NEVER CHEAT on someone who showed you what love means

Cause only when it’s too late that you’ll realize…you’ve lost something you would never ever have again.

 

guide 8: its OK to make mistakes

 

Take chances… take a lot of them. 

Because honestly, no matter where you end up and with whom, it always end up just the way it should be. 

 

Your mistake makes who you are. 

You learn to grow with each choice you make.  Everything is worth it.  Say how you feel always.  Be you and be okay with it…

 

guide 9: let go and relish the good times

 

True wisdom is seen not by how much you know but how much more you’re willing to learn. 

It’s not about winning an argument but giving way to a deeper idea. 

It’s knowing when to let go of a bad fight and relishing a good and worthy defeat.

 

guide 10: always come home

 

Just because you’re already with someone, it doesn’t give you the right not to fall for someone else…

 

It’s just a matter of choosing who loves you more, you can fall for everyone who treats you special. 

 

Just make sure that at the end of the day you know your way home to the one who treats you as his life

 

guide 11: love is an act …

 

If you love someone, you better prove it…

cause if you don’t they may not believe it ‘for love is not a noun to be defined but a verb to be acted upon’’

 

guide 12: love and emotion

 

Love is best seen as devotion and action, not an emotion. 

Love is not exclusively based on how we feel. 

Certainly our emotions are involved, but they cannot be our only criteria for love. 

True devotion will always lead to action – true love
