Something to cheer about! :) Rumored lesbian Eugene Domingo and lesbian role played by Shamaine Centenera-Buencamino both got nominated in the prestigious 6th Asian Film Awards. The former for best actress category, the latter for the best supporting actress category. Both also won in 7th Cinemalaya. I was able to watch the film Niño in Cinemalaya and there was a scene that really

my coming out story

2012-01-21T23:42:00.000+08:00

in my Diaspora post last year, i shared that my family's shrinking. not because we have midget genes, *ehem, 5'6 ang bunso namin* but because my sisters are leaving. last dec.28, my sister from US arrived with her fil-am kids. i was meaning to come out to her first because first, her American sister-in-law is a lesbian lawyer with a partner of, gasp! 20yrs!. second, she's the most liberated

Gayest Cities

mirror, mirror on the wall, which is the gayest of them all? the mirror, or rather The Advocate has spoken. The Advocate is a prominent publication for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities 1. Salt Lake City - dang! i was here two years ago! and only met one lesbian colleague. maybe the straights i was with turned the others off. hehe. i should seriously go back. :) 2.

hello ladies :) this article at the bottom got published in inquirer.net indicating that they don't know who the author is. a simple google search revealed the originating site, which is marcandangel. which i also read and love. since it's still considered new year, 'thought i'd also share here. =) i am feeling the good vibes and the positivity mainly because i did several of the stops below (

happy happy! :) sa wakas tumino na ang DSL namin sa bahay. sa tagal kong offline, narealize ko na: noon - ang uso ay 9 lives, ngayon - ang meron tayo ay 2 lives, offline and online lives. hehe. i felt like a part of me died when our DSL died for weeks (offline life). tinigilan ko na ang pagconnect/surf sa iphone at mamamatay naman ako sa taas ng phone bill ko. hehe. sandali din akong nalibang

Ano ba ang bagong taon? maingay, magastos, delikado. holiday, mausok, makalat, magulo. Ano ba ang bagong taon? Ito ay bagong buhay, bagong pag-asa, pagbabago. Lumang katawan, pero bagong balat na may mas sensitibong pandama sa hinaharap. Pangarap na nalalasahan sa bawat pagpikit, paglunok, pagtibok at paghinga. Lumang puso na pinatanda ng samut-saring karanasan at karahasan. Pero dinadaluyan

i know i had a depressing post yesterday. so to make up for it, i decided to make happy moments count by sharing them here. today, two friends from this blog visited me at work and gave me stuff. the funny thing is they sort of texted the same way. Kim: Got time to go down from your olympus? TwistedHalo: Maybe you could go down your tower and get Murakami? Kim gave me the yummiest sandwich i

December and backwards

Is it just me or did this year just sped by? If I look at my work planner, I sure did scribble a LOT of stuff and completed many projects. But if I look back at non-work stuff, not a lot seems to have happened with me. Part of this I think is because I forget things. Is my memory degrading or there's just isn't much worth remembering or I just want to forget many things? Sigh. Omg, did I just go

A moment with someone

2011-12-27T01:25:00.001+08:00

Been bombarded with Adele songs from everywhere i go. Not that i hate her, it's just too much. Then after unknowingly learning the lyrics, I realised that this song, Someone Like You actually reminds me of someone. It's been a while. Do you really forget someone? Parang I can't. I still remember them but the effect lessens as time passes. The true and tried healing power of time. thank God for

Learn to be independent of other people's company. You need to toughen up woman! Kung ayaw ka nila itext or kausapin, that sucks. But it's not the end of the world. Mahalin mo ang sarili mo. Alagaan mo sarili mo. Go back to the things you enjoy and love so that you won't feel alone. :)

The past days

2011-12-27T01:00:00.001+08:00

Family reunions are NEVER simple. While I grew up with my parents and sisters, we are now different people with varying priorities and needs. Sure, the love is there, but so are nerves. For some reason, friction can't be avoided. And the shrieking kids who make mess that would make professional garbage handlers want to quit. There's also space invasion because since some live elsewhere but will

Aiza Seguerra, bow!

2011-12-14T13:06:00.000+08:00

I am an all out fan of Aiza Seguerra. Foremost because of her talent as a singer and also because she's openly gay and still loved by people mainstream. For the first time, she joined a reality show in GMA7, "Protege" as a mentor of non-pro singer. Each mentors were made to search and choose their protege. She found hers in Cagayan de Oro by the name of Krizza Neri, 16 yrs old. For someone who's

i love her then, i lover her more now. the impact of her doing this speech is monumental for me. the speech is kinda long, but am glad that it is. because each lgbt issue was discussed thoroughly so that people can better understand. after listening (and crying) to her speech, parang gusto ko na mag-out sa family ko. please watch/read the speech.

i often ask myself to a point that i even asked god, why is it so hard? it makes me feel maybe that god has such high confidence in my ability to cope that s/he made my life so challenging (to be politically correct about it). but truth be told, i suffer a lot, inwardly. i just bounce back quick. i am not tough by choice. i am tough because my survival depends on it. to be weak is an indulgence

Kids are All Right-FOR REAL! gusto ko na rin mag-asawa! hahahaha.legit or not, i will continue to love the person, regardless of gender or label. i will love and no law can stop me from doing that. but would really be grand if the people who matter to me like family and friends will also share in that happiness. thank you for all the Zachs in the world who show strength and pride for the sake

no speaker at home, so i was only able to watch and not listen to the video. nonetheless, mejo nagets ko naman ang message.hehe. so saka na ang aking opinyon/comment pag napakinggan ko na. hehe.ok,wala naman pala dialogue.haha. but the song is nice. mejo madrama ng konti, pero it's fun not because one is gay, but simply because you are who you are. pride march is a celebration of identity, of
