Many sites are offering the same old story about Iloilo. But this new website that I found seems to look at Iloilo at a different lens. Mark Segador of Iloilo I LOVE! sees Iloilo as an outsider. According to his introduction as the author of the blog, Mark came from Tarlac and is Ilonggo by blood through his parents. Grew up not knowing Iloilo but from few stories from his parents. Here's

Yes! You've heard me I want a ticket to New York to join all gays and lesbians in celebrating this milestone in the Big Apple! Congratulations! New York at last granted us equality in forming and growing families and living as couples with protection of the law and all its privileges. Now the challenge falls on us (the LGBT community) to make sure that this right granted to us will be used with

It's been a while since I blog on this site. But I guess the online world has a different yet very intriguing pull on me; so i decided to come back. I chose to blog another topic in another site and move it at a new level (that's very assuming of me!) haha... anyway, i'm also trying to revive this site since this is my first baby and we had few, well numerous, birthing pains. rest assured,

it's been a while since i last posted here... oh, what? eight months?!!!... wow... took me a while to recover. long story though, lots to blog about right?... Not really. But anyway, i'm coming out of the cave again to have some periodic blogging again, hopefully expand the content of Macky's Room.Stupid me, when I logged in at blogger minutes ago, I can't even find the usual links.

...i love you so much; i can't stop mourning for you even when you asked me not to. why do you have to go so early and leave me behind in this life?... i asked you to wait for me before we enter the next life, to become lovers again and fulfill dreams stashed away by the evils of this world like greed and pride, and even lust. You obliged and promised me you will. In return, i will fulfill what

Okay, so I was dead (as a blogger) for almost a month. I guess my current state stops me from holding a single organized thought. I don't know why I'm saying this to you, but hey this is my blog anyway... haha... Actually, I just want you all to understand the reasons behind my sudden hiatus (even I didn't visit my blog for weeks). But before everything, for all those who keep on coming to my

Having the TV ratings as our year-end controversy (See? Since the government is on holiday and our politicos are in their vacations, we still have scandals. We would never run out of means to entertain ourselves), I decided to review the year using those. Not only that we're just in front of television watching while these bizarre things unfold, we're are also involved, and participation is

Wow… It’s been 12 days since my last post. I’ve been busy this past week, leavingthe house early and going back at night just to sleep. And I believe it’s my obligation to share what happened to me as you have been very supportive of this blog and for that I’m very grateful. I’ve attended training somewhere in Rizal which lasted only for 3 days; I spent the rest of the week going around the metro

Last night, I stayed late just to watch ABS-CBN’s The Correspondents.My friend is asking me to drink and stay overnight in his house,but I refused becauseI wanted to watch the documentary, aside from being tired and all.Its title was Flower Girls, derived from the name of the group of 6 or 7 boys ages 7 to 11 years old who had already came out, or in other words screaming “batang badings”.

Back in high school, I always have a chance to act in a classroom drama.Apparently, I became an undisputed superstar in acting that time. I always had thelead roles, only that nobody volunteered for the female lead act since we’re in an all-boys school. So here’s two of my unforgettable exposure to stage plays.1.

The events at Makati yesterday not only proved to be entertaining,but also served as a good educational manual for would-be coup-plottersand mutineers, and aspiring wussies.

People who have no sense of beginning and history lack properidentity and direction in the future. They are plunged into chaosfor not knowing who they are or who they were. Never in our history was a gay mentioned, that’s understandable since we have a very obscure perception of history.

"Do you still love me?" I asked.A few seconds of waiting, and the reply came in. "Yes" he said.I was about to say "How come you can't say the words you loved my ears to hear?",but we haven't talked for almost two months and I don't want to start an unneccesary disagreement over me being needy for his affection.It's been two months since we have a real talk.

I still remember more than 10 years ago, this Mexican telenovela was a big hit here in the Philippines. Wherever you see a television around dinnertime, it is flocked by people watching a sexy foreigner dance and acts, and cries "Por pabor, chubacha..." ooops, sorry, I meant Corazon. I was still in Grade 3 then, and I admit I really love the series, I even bought the screenshots. So many bloopers

Calls for the resignation of the President and her successor are stepping, or more appropriately crawling. These groups are proposing that after the top posts are vacated, snap elections would be held. Okay, let's consider their plan. If PGMA and her vice do resign, and snap elections follow, who would the parties field for the presidency? No doubt, it would still be the personalities from the

I have never been called a faggot before. The first time I read it is in a gay forum when a member called another "faggot", and the rumble started in that site. When I hear that word, it causes me undue distress. Why? Faggot is a word used to describe the "bundle of sticks used to burn people at stake" during the Middle Ages. Calling someone faggot is another way of saying, "Go, burn yourself up
