<p style="text-align: left;">“People who are against gay marriage do not understand the very freedoms that they themselves are enjoying,” he argues. “What if someone said, ‘Sorry, no Christianity here? No Judaism. Certainly no Mormons.’ No one would stand for that, and I wouldn’t allow anyone to say that either. I’d fight them in the same way.” - <a href="http://www.wmagazine.com/celebrities/2009/02/brad_pitt?currentPage=3" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.wmagazine.com');">Brad Pitt on W Magazine</a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Brad Pitt FTW! If you didn&#8217;t know, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie contributed $100,000 last year to California’s “No on Prop 8” campaign.  Not only that, he says that they will not get married until marriage rights are available to all. Go Brangelina!</p>

<p>&#8220;You’ll feel more at home here than in any previous drag-queen movie. If you don’t, you’ll laugh, you’ll gasp, you may even hurl. But you’ll come out a better person.&#8221; - Vancouver International Film Festival</p>
<p>SYNOPSIS:<span id="more-1696"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;The &#8216;<a href="http://baklaako.com/?s=the+thank+you+girls" >Thank You&#8217; Girls</a>&#8221; is a Visayan film with a gay lingo twist. (with subtitles)</p>
<p>Tired of losing in all the beauty competitions in Davao City, six dysfunctional gay beauty pageant veterans decide to travel north to Cagayan de Oro City, in the island of Mindanao, with a mission to conquer the grandest competition of beauty, personality and brains in the province. They believe that being city dwellers, gays in the province will never stand a chance against them.</p>
<p>Passing through the breathtaking landscapes and cultural vignettes of the Mindanao provinces, each queer need not only struggle to win a single title but also battles against his individual internal demon raring its ugly head behind their pink masks.</p>
<p>During their travel, the ultimate gay adventure of the characters brings them to back to the basics of themselves and of each other.</p>
<p>While they are blinded by their belief in the power of their so-called beauty, they still have to prove that whether on or off stage, beauty doesn’t just come in packages wrapped in foundation, mascara, eyeliners and witty beauty pageant answers. What they will discover about themselves could be fitting and that being a run-away loser is not at all ugly.</p>
<p>Because what is essential is VISIBLE to the naked eye.</p>

<p>Synopsis:<br />
Karera explores the life of the Domingo family, which seems to be a microcosm of the Filipino society racing against time and opportunity as they gamble with their personal choices in a series of complicated moral, spiritual, political and social issues.</p>
<p>The mother, LV (Guillen), runs a bookies (an illegal horse race betting outlet) in their house. Today, the money she is supposed-to-remit is missing. She struggles to look for the missing money and traces who might get hold of it. Ace (Manalo), LV&#8217;s eldest, who works as a sota (horse caretaker) is torn between pursuing an illegal arrangement with one of the other trainors to injure the horse he takes care of in exchange for a hefty sum of money that he can use for his placement fee. Daisy (Roces), the matriarch&#8217;s daughter, is running away from policemen after an arrangement that she needs to pinpoint all the other illegal karera outlets to spare her family. Bingo (Bascon), their youngest, is impatiently waiting for his girlfriend to have sex with him after a bet with his friends.  What happens is a raw and gritty drama of human survival.</p>

<p>Welcome 2009 and welcome to a brand new year of kabaklaan here on &#8220;Bakla Ako, May Reklamo?&#8221;!</p>
<p>2008 was such a great year for the blog and we hope 2009 will be an equally good if not better year.</p>
<p>So let&#8217;s do a quick recap of what happened in 2008. Here are some highlights:</p>
<p>Early in the year, I launched the<a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/01/27/are-you-a-gay-the-pilot-episode/" target="_blank" > &#8220;Are You &#8216;A&#8217; Gay?&#8221; video blog series</a>, which turned out to be just a few episodes.  I will no longer promise to start a new series nor to continue the series, I will just post whenever I feel like it.  Besides, no one really watched the videos. Haha.  It was also in <strong>January</strong> when I got <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/01/19/one-night-and-3-manila-gay-bars-part-1/" target="_blank" >gaybar-devirginized</a> as I, along with some friends, visited not one, not two, <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/01/19/one-night-and-3-manila-gay-bars-part-2/" target="_blank" >but three gay bars in Manila</a>! And who can forget the <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/01/10/bakla-and-his-cabalen-trinoma-experience/" target="_blank" >Cabalen Trinoma incident</a>?  I was one of the few people who got the chance to meet the infamous <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/01/10/bakla-and-his-cabalen-trinoma-experience/" target="_blank" >Anne from Cabalen</a>! What an honor!</p>
<p>In <strong>February</strong>, <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/02/24/epson-in-batanes-bakla-in-batanes/" target="_blank" >I got to visit Batanes</a> courtesy of <a href="http://www.epson.com.ph/" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.epson.com.ph');">Epson Philippines</a>!  And I won a printer by winning  (I was first runner-up) the <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/02/22/i-am-not-plastic-the-epson-in-batanes-photo-contest/" target="_blank" >Epson in Batanes photo contest</a>! I also got the chance to <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/02/18/bakla-meets-happyslip/" target="_blank" >meet Christine Gambito aka HappySlip</a>.  Thanks to the people of <a href="http://www.yehey.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.yehey.com');">Yehey!</a>, I was able to<a href="http://revver.com/video/670424/aj-meets-happyslip/" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/revver.com');"> go up onstage and ask HappySlip a question face to face</a>! Not satisfied with that kind of mileage, I also got the chance to be <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/02/02/vlog-bakla-on-gay-blogging/" target="_blank" >interviewed on video</a> by <a href="http://janettetoral.com/" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/janettetoral.com');">Janette Toral</a> for the <a href="http://e-commercephilippines.com/ModShow/ShowPage/0" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/e-commercephilippines.com');">Digital Filipino Club</a>.  It was also during this month that I had the honor of meeting <a href="http://dantonremoto2010.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/dantonremoto2010.blogspot.com');">Danton Remoto</a> as we, the <a href="http://baklaako.com/category/gay-podcast/fabcasters/" target="_blank" >FabCasters</a>, <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/02/16/fabcasters-sit-down-with-danton-remoto/" target="_blank" >recorded a very enlightening, educational, and fun podcast</a> with him.<span id="more-1687"></span></p>
<p><strong>March</strong> was one of those &#8220;issue months&#8221; as we dealt with a lot of issues here on the blog.  Who could forget the controversial <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/03/09/whats-wrong-with-binibining-pilipinas/" target="_blank" >Binibining Pilipinas</a> <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/03/24/a-petition-to-replace-janina-san-miguel/" target="_blank" >World Janina San Miguel</a> and <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/03/10/binibining-pilipinas-world-2008-janina-san-miguels-answer-the-qa-transcript/" target="_blank" >her infamous answers to the interview portion of the competition</a> (she eventually dropped out of the Miss World Competition due to family issues).  Interesting to note as well are the <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/03/13/the-other-binibining-pilipinas-2008-top-10-finalists-answers/" target="_blank" >answers of the other finalists</a>! I also wrote about the <a href="http://baklaako.com/anti-discrimination/" target="_blank" >Anti-Discrimination</a> <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/03/26/the-anti-discrimination-bill-in-the-philippines/" target="_blank" >Bill in the Philippines and did a little extra research on it</a>.  It was also the height of the cirmcucision issue as Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Season 2 housemate <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/03/27/on-circumcision-and-alex-anselmuccio-the-uncircumcised-pbb-teen-housemate/" target="_blank" >Alex Anselmuccio decided to have himself cut live on Philippine TV</a>.  March also saw the heat of American Idol and the issue of whether <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/03/22/is-david-archuleta-gay/" target="_blank" >David Archuleta</a>, one of the two David finalists, <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/03/22/is-david-archuleta-gay/" target="_blank" >was gay or not</a>. And since we&#8217;re talking about issues, why not revisit the <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/03/09/manila-high-societys-the-gucci-gang/" target="_blank" >Manila High Society and The Gucci Gang Scandal</a>? We actually found a &#8220;Gucci Gang&#8221; <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/03/10/this-gucci-gang-does-coke/" target="_blank" >that does Coke and had pics to prove</a> that the gang did Coke!</p>
<p>In <strong>April</strong>, <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/04/16/luke-macfarlane-is-gay/" target="_blank" >Luke McFarlane</a> came out as gay and an <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/04/11/victor-basa-sex-scandal/" target="_blank" >alleged masturbation video of actor and model Victor Basa</a> sprawled throughout the Internet. Another thing that came out was the <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/04/18/ang-ladlad-statement-on-the-cebu-rectal-surgery-video-scandal/" target="_blank" >Cebu Canister-Rectal Surgery Video scandal</a>. I also came up with an April Fool&#8217;s Day joke by <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/04/01/bakla-ako-blog-closing-down/" target="_blank" >announcing that this blog was closing</a>. <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/04/07/bakla-conquers-mt-daguldul-part-1/" target="_blank" >I</a> <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/04/08/bakla-conquers-mt-daguldol-part-2/" target="_blank" >conquered</a><a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/04/15/bakla-conquers-mt-daguldol-part-3/" target="_blank" > a</a> <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/04/16/bakla-conquers-mt-daguldol-part-4/" target="_blank" >mountain</a>, courtesy of <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/04/06/mt-daguldol-bakla-in-columbia-sportswear/" target="_blank" >Columbia Sportswear</a>. And I did a <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/04/26/iblog4-live-video-streaming/" target="_blank" >livestream</a> of <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/04/26/video-clips-from-live-streaming-recorded/" target="_blank" >iBlog4</a>. This blog was also <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/04/14/bakla-manila-bulletin/" target="_blank" >featured in Manila Bulletin&#8217;s Blog-O-Rama</a> in April. One of the best things that happened in April was the <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/04/30/bloggers-da-who/" target="_blank" >opening of Bloggers DaWho</a> (which can now be accessed through <a href="http://www.bloggersdawho.com/" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.bloggersdawho.com');">http://www.bloggersdawho.com</a>!</p>
<p>In <strong>May</strong>, <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/05/18/ellen-degeneres-to-marry-portia-de-rossi/" target="_blank" >Ellen DeGeneres announced that she will marry her girlfriend Portia De Rossi</a>. It was also during this month that<a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/05/05/eat-your-hearts-out/" target="_blank" > I opened Eat Your Heart&#8217;s Out  - my food blog</a> - which was later renamed If It Looks Good, Eat It!  (The site is temporarily down though, will reopen this January 2009). I also live blogged the finals of <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/05/11/miss-philippines-earth-2008/" target="_blank" >Miss Philippines Earth 2008</a> (the winner, Karla Henry later won Miss Earth 2008). This was also the month when I made a video with transcript of the recorded call that had a <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/05/07/i-kell-you/" target="_blank" >hilarious exchange of words between a call center agent and a customer - I KELL YOU</a>! It was also this month when one of our transgender friends, <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/05/27/an-open-letter-of-a-transgender-woman-in-the-philippines/" target="_blank" >Sass Rogando Sassot was discriminated against by a certain bar in Makati</a>. I also went to the opening night of the <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/05/29/philippine-fashion-week-08/" target="_blank" >Philippine Fashion Week 2008 and was baffled by a lot of things</a>.</p>
<p>In <strong>June</strong>, someone tried to<a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/06/24/on-identity-theft-and-online-impostors/" target="_blank" > steal my identity by creating a YouTube profile using my name</a> and mixing up a video I created and claimed it as his/her own.  It was also during this month <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/06/09/happiness-is-baklava/" target="_blank" >when I met my now-ex-boyfriend</a> (we broke up December 24th because he had to leave the country). I also celebrated the centennial of the University of the Philippines with the whole UP community and posted an<a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/06/18/a-up-moment-proud-to-be-from-up-mindanao/" target="_blank" > old photo of me at the foreground of UP Mindanao&#8217;s Oblation</a>. <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/06/03/hari-ng-negros-2008/" target="_blank" >Hari ng Negros 2008</a> also took place during this month. And we also posted the <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/06/03/ten-things-you-need-to-know-about-the-anti-discrimination-bill/" target="_blank" >Ten Things You Need to Know About the Anti-Discrimination Bill</a>.</p>
<p>In<strong> July</strong>, <a href="http://baklaako.com/category/project-runway-philippines/" target="_blank" >Project Runway Philippines</a> was the hottest topic here as we started doing<a href="http://baklaako.com/category/project-runway-philippines/" target="_blank" > recaps of each episode</a>.  I got so busy (and disappointed with the fact that some people copied and pasted the whole recaps - which took me more than 5 hours each to finish - without attribution and claimed the recaps as their own.) that I had to stop the recaps. <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/07/27/marc-jacobs-to-marry-brazilian-boyfriend-is-this-true/" target="_blank" >Marc Jacobs was also rumored to marry his Brazilian boyfriend</a> during this month. In Dubai, some foreigners were <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/07/18/dubai-gay-men/" target="_blank" >arrested for alleged homosexuality</a>.  <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/07/14/miss-venezuela-miss-universe-2008/" target="_blank" >Miss Venezuela took home</a> the coveted <a href="http://baklaako.com/tag/miss-universe-2008/" target="_blank" >Miss Universe 2008</a> crown.</p>
<p>In <strong>August</strong>, I<a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/08/28/win-free-tickets-to-the-premiere-of-the-thank-you-girls/" target="_blank" > gave away tickets to the premiere night</a> of <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/08/26/the-thank-you-girls-premieres/" target="_blank" >The Thank You Girls</a> (which shall be shown on Robinsons Indiesine - finally! - on January 21 to 28). I also <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/08/25/beauty-bloggers-interview-hayden-kho-jr/" target="_blank" >got the chance to interview</a> (together with beauty bloggers Phoebe Ramos of <a href="http://swipesomegloss.com/"onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/swipesomegloss.com');"  onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/swipesomegloss.com');">Swipe Some Gloss</a> and Sophie Uy of <a href="http://beautynomics.com/"onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/beautynomics.com');"  onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/beautynomics.com');">Beautynomics</a> ) Dr. Hayden Kho of the Belo Medical Group during the <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/belo-touches-my-skin-and-my-heart-too/" target="_blank" >Belo Bloggers Event </a>(thanks to <a href="http://micamyx.i.ph" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/micamyx.i.ph');">Micamyx</a> for the invite!). <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/08/20/michael-phelps-sports-illustrated-cover-a-halter-top/" target="_blank" >Michael Phelps appeared in what looked like a halter top</a> on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

Gay icon <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/08/16/happy-50th-birthday-madonna/" target="_blank" >Madonna turned 50</a> this month. This was also a good month for us because<a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/08/11/top-10-emerging-influential-blogs-of-2008-winners/" target="_blank" > Bloggers DaWho was voted as one of the</a> <a href="http://www.influentialblogger.net/2008/06/august-11-eyeball-top-10-emerging.html" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.influentialblogger.net');">Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs of 2008</a>!</p>
<p>During my birthday month, <strong>September</strong>, <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/09/30/google-supports-gay-marriage-in-california/" target="_blank" >Google announced their support for gay marriage in California</a>. It was also during this month that a seemingly uninformed person (Pompeyo Pedroche) wrote <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/09/29/gay-philippines-pilipinas-gay-ka-na-ba/" target="_blank" >about homosexuality in the Philippines</a>, which was published on the Philippine Daily Inquirer.<a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/09/24/people-magazine-clay-aiken-is-gay/" target="_blank" > Clay Aiken came out via People Magazine </a>(no one knew he was gay prior to this?). This was also a big and controversial month for the Philippine blogging community thanks to <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/09/08/bakla-goes-to-wordcamp-philippines-2008/" target="_blank" >Wordcamp Philippines</a> (where<a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/09/06/ernie-meets-matt-mullenweg-at-wordcamp/" target="_blank" > I got to meet Mr. Wordpress himself</a>, <a href="http://ma.tt" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/ma.tt');">Matt Mullenweg</a>) and the <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/09/24/baklas-affair-with-the-philippine-blog-awards-2008/" target="_blank" >2nd Philippine Blog Awards </a>(which, by the way, I co-hosted with Kring, Marcelle, and Tiff). Gay bloggers also started getting recognition in the community as a number of <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/09/19/gay-bloggers-and-the-philippine-blog-awards-2008/" target="_blank" >gay bloggers were nominated (and some won!)</a> at the Philippine Blog Awards! Ricky Martin became a dad. And I got to watch the <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/09/05/ricky-martin-is-one-hot-papa/" target="_blank" >Eraserheads Reunion Concert</a> with other bloggers (courtesy of Red Horse Beer!).</p>
<p><strong>October</strong> was another great month!  I got to watch the <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/10/30/bakla-goes-to-the-project-runway-philippines-finale/" target="_blank" >final runway show of Project Runway Philippines Season 1</a> live at SMX during the <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/10/17/philippine-fashion-week-spring-summer-2009-schedule/" target="_blank" >Philippine Fashion Week Spring-Summer 2008</a> series. <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/10/02/my-ganda-ako/" target="_blank" >MyGanda Ako, May Reklamo? </a>- my beauty and fashion and anything and everything beautiful blog was launched. I joined the<a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/10/03/rainbow-bloggers-philippines/" target="_blank" > Rainbow Bloggers Philippines</a> group blog. Rustom Padilla surprised a lot of people <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/10/06/rustom-padilla-wearing-a-womans-clothes-at-the-urian-awards/" target="_blank" >when he went to the Urian Awards dressed in women&#8217;s clothing</a>.</p>
<p><strong>November</strong> was a busy month as we joined the LGBT community in the preparations and <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/11/22/prideevents-this-weekend/" target="_blank" >celebrations leading to</a> the <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/11/19/live-love-unite-with-pride-march/" target="_blank" >Manila Pride March 2008</a>. I organized, with the help of <a href="http://www.geisermaclang.com" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.geisermaclang.com');">GeiserMaclang</a> and <a href="http://www.redbox.com.ph" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.redbox.com.ph');">Red Box</a> (two firms that are very supportive not only of the blogging community but also of the gay blogging community!), an <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/11/19/lgbt-bloggers-for-pride/" target="_blank" >LGBT Bloggers Night at Red Box</a>. I also got the chance to <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/11/14/bakla-interviews-rajo-laurel/" target="_blank" >interview Project Runway Philippines judge and fresh, fabulous designer Rajo Laurel</a>. Boyzone also made history by being the <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/11/14/boyzone-first-boyband-to-feature-gay-couple-in-video/" target="_blank" >first boyband to feature a gay couple in a music video</a>. Aries Lagat became the <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/11/13/aries-lagat-wins-project-runway-philippines/" target="_blank" >first ever winner of the Philippine franchise of Project Runway</a>! Daniel Radcliffe <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/11/11/daniel-radcliffe-naked-on-equus-in-broadway/" target="_blank" >brought his naked ass to Broadway</a> and David Beckham was happy that he was the branded as <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/11/11/david-beckham-is-happy-to-be-the-gayest-straight-man-in-hollywood/" target="_blank" >the gayest straight man in Britain</a>! The <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/11/06/anna-dizon-is-anna-dizon-the-real-story-behind-the-phrase/" target="_blank" >real story behind why &#8220;Anna Dizon is Anna Dizon&#8221;</a> was also revealed!</p>
<p><strong>The last month of 2008</strong> was pretty eventful! Of course, I got devirginized - I was stripped of my <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/12/12/no-longer-a-virgin-my-first-pride-march/" target="_blank" >Pride March Virginity as I joined the LGBT Community in celebrating Manila Pride March 2008</a>. I barely had any posts due to some technical problems with the blog, but it was still a pretty busy and interesting month.  The blog was down for about two weeks or so, which coincided with <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/12/19/welcome-back-migs/" target="_blank" >Migs, the Manila Gay Guy, closing down his blog</a>. The <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/12/17/up-oblation-run-2008/" target="_blank" >Oblation Run</a> kept many of our eyes busy. <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/12/19/single-ladies/" target="_blank" >And I became single</a>.</p>
<p>So there you have it, that was 2008 for Bakla!  I would like to thank everyone for your continued support.  To friends, old and new; to bloggers of all kinds; to Plurkers and Twitterers; to spammers and fakers and haters; to GeiserMaclang and Bridges and other PR agencies; to the ex-boyfriend; to family; to the FabCasters; and to you, the silent hero of this blog - my dear readers; THANK YOU FOR MAKING 2008 A BIG SUCCESS for BAKLA AKO, MAY REKLAMO?!</p>
<p>May we all have a bigger, brighter, and more fantabulous 2009!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Copyright &copy; 2009 <a href="http://baklaako.com" >AJ</a>. Visit the original article at <a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/12/17/up-oblation-run-2008/" >http://baklaako.com/2008/12/17/up-oblation-run-2008/</a>.<br /><blockquote><p>The Oblation Run is an annual tradition of the members of the Alpha Phi Omega, one of the prominent U.P. fraternities. Members of the fraternity run around the campus naked (a concept known as streaking) to protest their sentiments about a current political or economic situation. The run started in 1977 to protest the banning of the movie, “Hubad na Bayani,” which depicted human rights abuses in the martial law era. (From <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.P._Oblation#Oblation_Run" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/en.wikipedia.org');">Wikipedia</a>)</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://baklaako.com/2008/up-oblation-run-2008/up-oblation/"rel="attachment wp-att-1645"  ><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1645" title="up-oblation" src="http://baklaako.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/up-oblation.jpg" alt="up-oblation" width="500" height="335"/></a></p>
<p>I feel bad for missing the recently-concluded Oblation Run.  All along, I thought the run was going to be today, December 17, 2008.  Unfortunately for me, I found out too late that it happened yesterday. I have always wanted to watch this event, but I never got the chance to.  And just when I thought my time has come, I was wrong. <span id="more-1644"></span>I already had my mind prepared for it, but I got disappointed.  Screw me for not doing extra research on the dates!</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-1646" href="http://baklaako.com/2008/up-oblation-run-2008/up-oblation-run-2008/"><img class="size-full wp-image-1646" title="up-oblation-run-2008" src="http://baklaako.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/up-oblation-run-2008.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333"/><br />

<p>Anyway, the Oblation Run (second for this year since they had one in June in celebration of <a href="http://www.gmanews.tv/story/101792/100-UP-fratmen-alumni-join-Oblation-Run-for-centennial-celebration" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.gmanews.tv');">UP&#8217;s Centennial Anniversary</a>) was a protest run against Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo&#8217;s extension of term and Charter Change. Also, based on the placards that some of the runners held, the run was a fight to preserve the Office of the Student Regent and to protect the environment.</p>
<p>So for all those who, like me, missed the Oblation Run, here&#8217;s a collection of videos from different UP campuses with their recently-concluded Oblation Runs.</p>

<p>I missed it this year and there&#8217;s nothing I can do about it.&nbsp; Then again, there&#8217;s always a next year!</p>

<p>Last weekend, I happily gave up my virginity and marched through the streets of Manila!  Yes, I am no longer a Pride March virgin.  And yes, I used to be.</p>
<p>Believe it or not, the 2008 Manila Pride March was the first for me.  I came out in 2005, but I did not really get the chance to join any Pride March at all.  Either I did not have the time to join or I did not want to join.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ajkenji/3096089905/"title="Manila Pride March - Baklaako dot com 036 by AJ Matela, on Flickr"  onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.flickr.com');"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3251/3096089905_d66cb682a0.jpg" alt="Manila Pride March - Baklaako dot com 036" width="500" height="335" /></a></p>
<p>I did not want to join. I was scared of having my face plastered all over the news.  I was scared of what might come my way after the march.  I was scared that my friends of old would see me and judge me.</p>
<p>I did not have the time (or deliberately planned out-of-town trips to coincide with the Pride March schedule). I did not want to march under the sweltering heat of the sun.  I did not want my B Club shoes (Yes, chipangga ito!) to get all dirty and worn out.  I did not want to have sweat as an accessory.</p>
<p>I would sleep all afternoon till night and then wake up at about 1am then head to Malate. Bed.  That was Manila Pride for me.</p>
<p>Until last weekend.</p>
<p>Months before the 2008 Manila Pride March, I already decided that I would join and that nothing was gonna stop me from joining!  And so began my journey towards my Pride March devirginization.  Together with the Rainbow Bloggers Philippines, I planned the LGBT Bloggers Night at Red Box (thanks again, Red Box!).  And because there was an LGBT bloggers contingent at this year&#8217;s march, I knew that I had a place!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Enter: Rainbow Bloggers and Friends.<br />

<p>And so I went, marched, <span id="more-1635"></span>shouted, smiled, took photos, tolerated the anti-lgbt religious protesters, spoke, dined, partied, supported, and had so much fun! I saw all sorts of people:  girl, boy, bakla, tomboy, transsexual, straight, closeta, protester, afam, afam na protester, bilats, hubaderang mhinkies, delicious mhinkies, ugly betties, bata, matanda, tindera, labandera, kapitbahay, pamhinta, at lahat na!
</p>

<p>Words are not enough for me to describe the feeling of finally being able to go out, be proud, and fight for my rights.  See the Manila Pride March 20008 through my eyes through this slideshow:</p>

<p>So we&#8217;re back.  We apologize for the very long period that Bakla Ako, May Reklamo has been down.  We had some (actually, a lot) of issues with transferring our hosting services and everything else that comes with the blog.  But we are fine now.</p>
<p>Thank you for all those who got worried and all those who didn&#8217;t care at all!  We miss you!  We miss blogging and we miss all the kabaklaan in the world!</p>
<p>(I took the brief time away from blogging and social networking to reevaluate myself, my blogging and online life, as well as my personal life. But let&#8217;s not talk about that.)</p>
<p>So we&#8217;re here, we&#8217;re queer, we&#8217;re back and you know it!</p>
<p>We&#8217;re BACK-LA!</p>
<p>(and by the way, please do support us and join the Rainbow Bloggers Contingent at the Pride March on December 6. Whether you&#8217;re a blogger or not, gay, lesbian, transgender, bisexual or even STRAIGHT, you are most welcome to join us!
