Somewhere I Have Never Travelled

November 25th, 2007

We’re taking a quick break from all the kabaklaan. Just a short short break as we share with you our favorite poem.




somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look will easily unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility:whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands
         --- e.e. cummings

Thank you. :)

Do the names Corbin Fisher, Sean Cody, Randy Blue, Bel-Ami and Falcon Studios ring a bell? If they don’t, and you’re interested in acquiring more carnal knowledge to satisfy your human needs, then those names should start ringing your bells!

“The Internet is for porn,” so goes the line from Avenue Q. But where in the world wide web do you look for porn? I’m sure you have your own “resources” that help you get through the hard times. Or should I say help you get hard, period? I have my own resources and yes, they do help me get through the hard times as well as the un-hard times. As Rye (of The Dan and Rye Podcasts – you really should listen to them!) so eagerly mentioned in their Pilipinas Podcast, I don’t engage in sexual intercourse that much (click here to find out what Rye meant).

TMI yet? This should be my cue to share with you my resources. I know that I’ve sworn to myself that I will not post nudies or anything pornographic on this blog. I intend to keep that “promise” until my dying day. Charot! Since I am not a selfish person, I’ll share with you these wonderful resources (NSFW) that have kept me company during times of trouble and speaking words of wisdom to my conservative other self.

In April of this year, I posted tips on acquiring gay videos online for free. I’m not sure if I have made a follow-up to that, but if I have not, then this would be it. Some of you may already be familiar with Xtube and Porntube, so I will leave those two alone. In the post I mentioned above, I talked about watching m2m videos posted by a few people on my network. However, Multiply has tracked those videos and subsequently shut down the profiles of their owners. That led to some of my dearest porn-posting friends to voluntarily exit (like Ethel Booba and MCoy Fundales on PBB Celebrity Edition 2) from the Multiply network.

Pick-Up Lines from Guys4Men and others

On guys4men and other online gay dating sites, we exchange messages with other men. The messages vary: looking for friendship, seeking a lifetime partner, admiring photos, simply dropping by to say hi, and looking for sex.

I manage a couple (okay more than 10) profiles in different networks, and I’ve had my share of these exchanges. What strikes me most though is the weird way some people employ to get through to me. I mean I’m not a perfect catch and I’m not all that, but some people could at least use a shot of creative juice (pun not intended).

When I thought about it, I realized that it really is kind of difficult to come up with a good pick-up line when sending out messages to men I’m interested in. Whenever I see a profile with a hot guy (whom I know I can’t get), I simply say: “Whoa! What a Hottie.” Pretty lame, eh? If I’m interested in knowing the person better, I read through their text profile and find something that strikes me and start off from there. Sometimes I get too lazy but the wanting to just say hi to a guy (and stupidly hoping to get more than just a “hi” for a reply), leaves me with no choice but the cliche, “Hi there!”

However, some people just make me laugh with their one-liners! My pet peeves when receiving messages are those which sell me miniature bahay-kubos and m2m vcds or offer me massage services (overpriced pa!). Then there are those that send me Yuwie.com invites, messages using sms language, and the pa-conyo and corny pa-sweet-kolehiyala language (elow pow, wer u poe? add u me naman sa frendzter, kain na u, sex poh tayo!) Seriously, do you honestly believe people would reply to that? Oh and yeah, there are those who ask if I have a SUN number. Kebs na!

So here’s a list of actual and real messages that I’ve received:

Your Gay Community Needs You!

November 21st, 2007

The 2007 Manila Pride March is almost here!

But wait, there’s more! There’s a need for more… More volunteers to help organize the event. Unlike many other big events out there, the Pride March does not have a lot of corporate sponsors. The more important need though, is the need for actual, real people to help out in organizing and running the event.

As of this writing, we have learned that the organizers really do need all the help that they can get for this big event.

How can you help? Read about it here (from the 2007 Manila Pride blog):

volunteer!

We need your help!

The organizers need people who can help us mobilize resources and widen community participation during the march. The tasks are simple – going around organizations, bars and establishments to encourage them to join the Pride March, helping in fund-raising activities, and saturating the internet with promotion materials on the LGBT Pride March.

During the March itself, we need marshals for the crowd and individuals who are willing to stay in the booth or carry the banners.

So if you have extra time, please consider volunteering for the Pride March. If you’re interested to help, please contact the organizers immediately.

 

So do your share and VOLUNTEER! Or as Christine (from New adventures of the Old Christine) says:

DO YOUR SHARE, VOLUNTER!

To volunteer, simply send an email to: tfpmanila@yahoo.com
or visit the 2007 Manila Pride March website.

Hot Filipina!

November 18th, 2007

How HOT are Filipinas?

I’m gay but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate the beauty of women. My sexuality also does not prevent me from being proud of other Filipinas. You see, I look at myself as part-Filipino, part-Filipina.

Taray!

Many of our countrymen have made it big in the international scene. And I’d like to tip my hat off to them. This country may be in shambles right now, thanks to our so-called political leaders and their cohorts. However, However, these hot Filipinas are making up for it by making us all proud of their achievements making us allproud of being Filipinos and Filipinas!

So today, we are honoring the hottest Filipinas making it big in different fields in the international scene today.

Filipina Bride

Watch the video and be proud of Filipinas making it big internationally:

Random Thoughts on a Sleepless Night

November 16th, 2007

I wish that someone would break my heart before the year ends.

That way, I would know that it still exists.

That way, I’d know that I’m still capable of feeling. Of loving. Of loving someone else besides myself.

At least there IS a someone.

There is a heart.

This numbness is choking me, the emptiness killing me.

So let me take this post-breaker to reflect a little about my life and post lyrics of a song that encapsulates my life.

Are You Naughty or Nice?

November 16th, 2007

Christmas is just around the corner. And this season gives me a lot of things to look forward to. Of course there are the family reunions and gatherings, the class reunions, dawn masses, and of course, gifts!

I wonder what Santa will give me this year. I don’t really expect Santa to bring me any material and worldly things, world peace is enough. Okay okay, he can’t give me that. Instead, what I’m asking for is something that would make my holiday season and my life better. Or so I would like to believe. Like many single men and women out there, I am asking for someone to cuddle with, to share special moments with and someone to bring to family and friends in parties. Oh, the SMP will sure be another organization that I’m gonna be part of. Tsktsk. But I’m not complaining. I have survived many years of being alone on Christmas day, why should I have a problem living another solo Christmas, right?

But if Santa really does exist, I’m sure he would give me what I’ve been asking for time and again. The question though is if I have been naughty or nice. I wouldn’t really know because I’d like to think I have been both.

While answering the Are You Gay quiz and the What kind of goth are you quiz, I found this quiz and got reminded of the coming hoiday season:

took the quiz (which has very funny questions, by the way) and did not really get shocked with the result. Apparently I’ve been naughty and still am. Will Santa still grant me my wish?

I guess not, but I do certainly hope he would reconsider!

Matt Damon TOPS People Magazine’s Sexiest Men Alive 2007

November 15th, 2007

Jason Bourne did it for him. Well, if Matt Damon gliterally (or taking it literally in the gay kind of way, something I just came up with) TOPped all those men, I would have sold my soul to the devil so I could get front row seats. Or better yet, get a guest pass to make a pass at any of them hot men!

While some images of gay men appeared on their 100 Sexy Men in 1 Minute video, none of them made it to the Top 15. Does this mean that gay men aren’t hot enough to be part of the top 15 Sexiest Men Alive? Hmmm, ibang pageant na lang, sure winner yung mga yun! Charing! The complete list can be found in the latest issue of People Magazine out in stands on Friday in the US – dunno when they will be out in the Pinas.

Here are a few of them who made it to the TOP 15:
