Gay Hotspots: The Airport

AIRPORT BOYS (the last photo wasn’t taken at the airport, but at the resort. Just posted the pic here since he’s cute.)

(This is the first of a series of gay hotspots in and around the Metro. We’ll feature unconventional places where you can find hot – and hopefully gay – men. We’ll veer away from the usual gay clubs, bars, and saunas.)

I get excited everytime I travel not only because of the destination but also because of the airport. I can safely say that I am well traveled domestically. In the past 5 years, I have been to at least three cities in most of the Philippine geographic regions, thanks to my previous job in the entertainment industry and my jetsetter friends.

My friends and I believe in the adage, “Huwag maging dayuhan sa sariling bayan. (Don’t be a stranger in your own land)” And we have vowed to at go to travel to different parts of our country for our weekend getaways. And during summer, we always head to different summer destinations. We kicked off this year’s Lakbay Pilipinas Tour with a bang as we basked under the summer sun of Oriental Negros. Destination: Antulang, Siaton (45 minutes away from Dumaguete City). (Photos here)

Although the Manila Domestic Airport is chaotic, ugly, and disorganized, I almost always never seem to get tired of it. It is, to me, such a lovely place to look at ogle at hot men of different shapes and sizes. A lot of these men are bound for Caticlan or Kalibo, on the way to get a kiss from Boracay’s summer sun. The others, well, to other destinations. The Philippine Airlines Centennial Terminal is also one happening place for hot men spotting, but the scope is quite limited.

You’d see lots of celebrities, models, and model-wannabes (but who’s complaining?), and hot foreign men. From the queue to get in to the terminal, to the check-in counter, to the pre-departure area, to the baggage claim and the arrival – they’re all over the place! On more than one occasion, the stalker in me has come out. This happens mostly during sembreaks and end-of-school breaks when provincial lasses who study in Metro Manila go back home to their families. I would look at the boxes and the baggage they claimed and make mental notes of the names and addresses on them. But since I’m such a prude, that’s all that I could do. I have their name and their address, but all I could do was dream about talking to them. Oh well. If you have great cruising and flirting skills, please do teach me! Lol.

On the way back from Dumaguete City, I was stark raving mad because of the rude security guard at the check-in counter of Cebu Pacific. He kicked my luggage onto another spot and talked to me in a sarcastic tone of voice. As I was about to lash at the poor consolocaion dela gwardya, my friends motioned me to look behind me so I could shake it off. And lo and behold! A hot guy was right beside me! And since I’m so bad at cruising and flirting with other guys, I was left with no other choice but to gawk, err, steal conservative glances at him.

The baggage claim area, at the arrival, is probably the best place to look at hot men. You’re all standing by the conveyor belt (or in some airports, by the waiting area where they manually drop off your bags), waiting for your bags and checking out hot men if yours is already there. Here, you can steal glances or even gawk at (or if you’re brave enough, make small talk with) the hot men. At the baggage claim area, what I normally do is go to a claim area for another airline or another flight and pretend as if I’m waiting for my luggage there. Eye candies are fun.

I think my domestic travel experience has proven my theory that airports have the most number of hot men at any given time! So come now and let’s fly. Who knows, you might meet the man of your dreams, or wet dreams, at the airport?

Lakbay Bakla: Summer Na!

 Summer’s here! The heat is killing me and if I don’t take myself off of this corporate jungle, I’d end up choking myself with my tie. I’ll be on blogging hiatus for give or take 4 days (unless they have Internet connection at the hotel) as I bask under the summer sun in beautiful Antulang, Dumaguete!

Antulang, here  I CUM come!

 See y’all soon, mga bakla!

Sissy Cruising

 I went to Landmark yesterday to do my grocery shopping and buy some needed stuff for my pad. I must say Landmark Supermarket’s check-out baggers are good lookers and I did my own checking out.  Some of them are pretty goodlooking that you would want to bag them too. But I’m such a prude when I’m alone in public.

After three hours and having all the items on my list (yes I keep a list!) crossed out, I then headed to Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in Greenbelt for my usual after-shopping coffee. Upon entering, I noticed that there was this hot Caucasian dude with an equally hot Pinoy seated in my favorite table. The minute I looked at them through my peripheral vision, I knew they were gay and probably a couple.  My gaydar never fails me. So off I went to order a drink.  And when I stepped out, the table adjacent to theirs was free so I took it and positioned myself facing them. I could have said hi but I didn’t.

I’m so bad at cruising and making friends with gay strangers in public that I almost always go home disappointed and full of regret.  It wouldn’t hurt to say hi or just smile right? No matter how I, and others, convince me that it’s okay to say hi and be friendly, I just couldn’t do it, specially if I’m alone.  Alone+Me+Public=Butchness.

I guess I can allude this  to the fear of others finding out I’m gay.  That fear that was built in my subconscious back in the days when I was still in the closet.  Like I say in the title of this blog, “Bakla Ako, May Reklamo?” I should already be comfortable with everyone knowing I’m gay.  But I can’t help it.

I would always fail at cruising as I tend to be extremely pseudo-conservative. I know I want him, but I’m too shy to make a move. I always make it a point to send a negative vibe just so people wouldn’t come up to me and say hi. I would always rely online to get to know other gay men, but I don’t think the Internet has not helped me all too well lately.

I should start becoming more free and friendlier in public. How am I supposed to meet the guy of my dreams when I’m too much of a sissy, right? I promised myself I’ll be a little sluttier, err, I mean, more friendly the next time I go out by my lonesome self in public.

Bulalo

“Bulalo ka pala? Hindi ba kayo nandidiri?”  When the hairstylist asked me this question, I did not get offended.  I used to.  I have been asked this question several times at different salons by different gay stylists. The first time I was asked this question, I turned maroon, scrambling for words but nothing seemed to come to mind except “no” paired with a cold shrug and a meeting of the eyebrows.

I already knew then that by referring to me as bulalo, they didn’t mean it in the literal sense of the word – the marrow in the bone of the beef shank boiled and mixed with vegetables to come up with a Bone Marrow Stew. They meant it as an offensive – to refer to gay men who have sexual and romantic relations with other gay men.  Pretty old-school homosexual notions actually.  Growing up, I had a gay uncle who had boyfriends who were straight.  His friends too were like that.

When I came out to my mom, she asked me if I was bulalo, and I said yes.  That stirred her curiosity since the kind of homosexuality she knows is that of my uncle’s.  After telling her that her notion of my sexuality is much different than what I am and that there gay men, like any ordinary heterosexual male or female, also have different tastes in men and have different approaches to love, sex, and morality.  I had to go explain to her tops, bottoms, versatile, oral and anal sex – the whole package.  But let’s reserve that coming out story for another entry.

“To each his own, I guess,” I curtly answered the stylist. Then I was barraged with questions like “Who plays boy and who plays girl?” So I had to explain to him and the other salon staff (who invited themselves to the conversation) the other kinds of gay relationships – something which they have heard of but were not really well-informed about.

Before I came out to my folks, Read the rest of this entry »

Ignorance, Stupidity and Narrow-mindedness at Its British Finest

[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/mnjpgw91CXQ" width="405" height="338" wmode="transparent" /]

This extremely offensive video was reportedly created by an unnamed Christian group.  As you will see in the video, they are encouraging the people of Britain to march to the House of Parliaments to denounce the new Sexual Orientation Regulations.

They start off with the warning that if people are already “fed up with being insulted by homosexuals as being “homophobic,” bigoted,” and equivalent to a racist just because you don’t agree that children should be taught about gay sex and relationships…” Oh reverse discrimination? How stupid can they get. Only the dumbest idiots [pun intended] and morons will succumb to that can of argument.

I believe educating everyone about sexuality is not aimed at making all children gay, not that there’s anything wrong about it.  I think the ultimate goal of the SOR is to educate the children for them to be able to understand different sexualities.  I submit to you that this group is in fact HOMOPHOBIC and BIGOTED.  Read the rest of this entry »
