PBB 2011 HOUSEMATE: SEICHANG USHIMI

2011-10-31T10:53:00.000-07:00

SEICHANG USHIMI Profile

(Ang Pinoy Anime ng Japan)

Real Name: Seiichi Ushimi
Nickname: Seichang
Status: Current Housemate
Origin: Tokyo, Japan
Age: 22
Birthdate: 1989-03-16
Nationality: Filipino-Japanese
Hobbies: reading books
Favorite Color: pink, purple, wine red… basta cute
Favorite Food: kare-kare, adobo, barbecue
Favorite Show: Dragonball Z, Pinoy Big Brother, ASAP
Favorite Actress: Sarah Geronimo, Penelope Cruz
Favorite Singer: SMAP band
OTHER INFORMATION:

Laking-Japan si Seichang, pero dahil taga-Davao ang ina niya, madalas din siyang umuwi sa Pilipinas. At home naman talaga siya dito dahil para sa kanya, mababait ang mga Pinoy. Unang dahilan ng pagpunta niya sa audition? Akala niya makikita niya si Sarah Geronimo! Sa dating housemates, pinaka-naaalala niya si Cathy ng PBB Double Up. Pagpasok sa bahay ni Kuya, game lang si Seichang sa kahit ano. “Basta experience, good opportunity for the future.”
Takot sa ipis si Seichang, kaya importante sa kanyang maging malinis sa bahay at hindi niya uurungan ang anumang gawaing-bahay. Kaya niya din magluto ng hamburger at yakisoba! May konti siyang alam na mga salita, pero nangangapa pa si Sei Chang sa pagsasalita at pag-intindi ng Filipino at English. Ang strategy niya: “Always smile and chika chika!” Hindi man niya makuha sa kwentuhan, may back-up plan ng Pinoy Anime ng Japan: Sign language at acting!

KAPE BARAKO vs KUBLI ON OCTOBER 5, 2011

2011-09-28T13:46:00.000-07:00

First week of October is a busy one for Filipino films, with two definitely gay movies, Kape Barako and Kubli, in select theaters.

Kape Barako is a fun and sexy Pinoy story from Lex Bonife, starring Johnron Tananda, featuring Frederick Peralta & Afi Africa, introducing Miko Pasamonte, Marcus Aboga, Allan Stevens & Joyce Acorda, directed by Monti Parungao.

This movie is about the story of 5 men and their queer tricks to keep their loyal gay customers happy inside their striving coffee shop. The twist? Well...the coffee itself that they serve has a "twist."

Trailer here:

On the other hand, Kubli is the story of friendship between Raffy (Johnron Tañada) and Marco (Eugene Tejada) which begins in childhood. The two are separated for many years, and their unspoken passion has long been buried deep, until their reunion in their hometown ignites a moment of intimacy.

In exchange of this is the shocking revelation of Raffy’s long-time kept secret -- his passionate affection for best friend Marco. In the end, the longest journey of his emotional suffering from holding on will wind up in a different level -- when his love finally becomes unconditional.

GAY LIFE: IN LOVE WITH A STRAIGHT GUY

2011-09-03T15:01:00.000-07:00

Question:

Hi.

I am a 24 year old closeted homosexual and I am deeply in love with a fellow student of mine for almost a year now. The problem is that he seems to be straight, in fact one of the straightest guys I have ever met. He has a girlfriend; he is always staring at women on the street and has a very masculine behavior. I haven't told him that I am gay, but I believe it has at least crossed his mind, since I have no girlfriend, don't talk about girls and I am generally “different”.

However, I feel that he is flirting with me all the time. The first time I felt that, I was sitting on a stall when he came behind me, slightly pressed his body against my back and started playing with my hair. At that time, I had known him for only two months and we hadn’t been any close at all. We had simply talked a few times, so his behavior seemed very weird to me. In the next months, he continued this kind of behavior.

He is often touching me, hugging me, pinching my belly, caressing my hair, my back and my chest and winking at me. Once at a club, his lips slightly touched my ear while talking to me. When he is talking to me, he comes really close, so close that I can feel his breath. Sometimes he is holding my chin while talking to me. He knows that I like his caressing, he has actually mentioned that.

In addition, he is always making jokes about me being gay, in front of the other students. He is supposedly saying all that for fun, but he does that all the time and I don’t think it is coincidental. On the other hand, when the two of us are talking he is very kind, supporting and he is taking care of me.

Over the months I have truly fallen in love with him. I like the fact that he is totally different from me; I am always shy and quiet while he is extroverted, strong and courageous. I can’t stop thinking of him all the time and this has become very painful because I do not dare express my feelings to him.

Why do you think is he acting like that? Do you think his behavior crosses the line of acceptable physical contact between two (not that close) friends or is it just normal? Does he feel anything for me or is he just playing?

George

Answer:

Hi George

Well, I think we've all been in a similar situation before, and it can truly be difficult to decipher all the signals.

I think the key in this case is that you said he is very extroverted, strong and courageous. It sounds to me like he's just one of those personalities that is very expressive and probably acts similarly towards most everyone, or at least the people he feels comfortable with. It doesn't necesssarily mean he's gay, or that he has any romantic interest in you.

Just because you're not all that close doesn't make it unusual either. It could just be that he really likes you (as a friend) and wants to be closer friends. It's also entirely possible that even though he's straight, he still very much likes the attention and probably knows that you're crushing on him, and so he's fostering that. Doesn't make him a bad person, he just likes the attention, and he's probably completely comfortable with it.

It's tough, but I wouldn't allow yourself to continue fantasizing about something that's not likely to ever materialize. Find someone who feels the same about you in return, and then you'll have reason to be giddy as a schoolgirl!

Take care,

Tedd

Then Remington starts becoming neater, nicer and more sensitive.

Around town, curious things are also happening. A serial killer is on the loose and gay men are the target.

In Remington’s dreams, ghoulish characters are taking over.With the help of Hannah and their friend Jigs, Remington investigates why masked macho dancers are all of a sudden invading his sleep, why he’s suddenly fluent in gayspeak, and why gay zombies are roaming the streets.

APOLOGY LETTER OF RAFAEL "RAFA" SANTOS

2011-06-28T22:45:00.000-07:00

The person who made the statement is Rafael "Rafa" Santos. Rafa is a director of the short film SAMARITO and part of Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival this year.

His statement did not sit well with the theater community, spurring shout outs in Facebook and Twitter.

An apology letter from Santos was posted earlier today (June 29, 2011 Wednesday) in Facebook:

Dear All,

My name is rafa santos. I recently taped an interview for an ANC show that, as you may have heard, went about as terrible as it could have gone for me. I made an unfortunate joke about what it is like to work with theater actors; a remark which offended countless artists the industry over. I do not defend this comment in any way. Even in the context of poor, ill-advised humor, my statement made light of an art that many among us hold dear and sacred.

Misguided comedy aside, what I meant to infer was that theater actors, in my estimation, are the pinnacle of the thespian craft. They do not put on airs or show up late or complain about the quality of the food or condition of the set and come in day after day after day for little to no money all for their love of acting and performance. It is the work that they feed on: the opportunity to bring life to a nebulous character on an inanimate page.

It was never my intention to look down on or demean stage actors in any shape or form. Some of my best experiences as a director are derived from the pleasure of working with theater people; to be able to feel the dedication and devotion they possess towards their art and to somehow allow that same commitment to diffuse into myself.

One of my dearest friends, my neighbor and actress in my movie, Bea Garcia, is herself a shining example of the passion of which i speak. It pains me to know I've hurt her so deeply in assaulting the craft that she loves so much.It is with a clear mind and heavy heart that I extend my heartfelt apology. I have offended any of you, I am sorry. If I've offended; anyone you love, I take the blame. If any of you feel sorry for me;please don't. I built my own coffin of words and nailed it shut with insolence.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I don't expect to be forgiven, but I do hope my family is treated kindly.

sincerely,

rafa santos
