The bahay-kubo is out! I previously whined here about people using guys4men as an online marketing and sales tool for just about anything and everything under the gay sun. While it’s true that people can pretty much do anything in sites like guys4men, some people, in my strong opinion, should exercise a little restraint.
Ever since I wrote on my G4M profile that I do not appreciate getting offers to purchase miniature bahay-kubos that cost P150.00 (sometimes more), offers have become close to zero. That’s good news! Or so I thought. With the crossing out of the bahay-kubos from the picture comes another “hot” item — longganisa! At P110.00, a kilo, these longganisas are a bargain!
We received another type of message. This one does not sell longganiza, but Yuletime Ham! Why would I want Yuletide ham? See below:
Hello my dear Friends,
I am taking orders on:
* Krismas Pinya Ham Php 350/ kilo
* Premium Cooked Ham 250/ kilo
* American Ham 270/ kilo
* Pear Shaped Ham 270/ kilo
From Pampanga>>>Walang Salitre!!!
Free delivery above 10 kilos, within Metro Manila…plus alpha outside Metro Manila.
Guaraneed 100% meat and Original recipee!!! Masarap!!! Natikman ko na!!! So what are you waiting for…ORDER NA!!
And did you notice that they had a number with all networks? That’s sales! But what will I do with longganisa? It will not make me a better person this holiday season. Besides, i don’t really like eating longganisa (pun not intended)!
These people should just start thinking of how to Make Christmas Memorable for me by buying me the things in my wishlist. Hoping too much? As one ad says, “there’s a light of hope… share and enjoy that great hope freshness.”
