a true MOM

i never thought i'd meet one. i've heard of stories of guys who could have multiple orgasms. I've had dates who could do twice or thrice at a stretch but with at least 10 - 30 mins rest in between. never encountered one who experienced orgasms like women, successively without refractory periods.

until i met MOM - multi-orgasmic man. his looks are deceiving, cute and quiet. he even told me he wasn't a very sexual person. then the surprise: multiple orgasms with NO rest in between. three in a row. i was just amazed. he kept going on and on, after each come.

and he said that the last one was always the best.

im proud of my MOM. hihihi

pilipinas, there's poison

in pilipino: pilipinas melason!

they are quite a pair. and when they came out that night at the abs cbn trade show, the crowd went wild. and here i am writing about them.

after seeing all those gorgeous gals and guys of abs cbn, and feeling this cocktail of lust, envy, insecurity, it was actually quite a relief to see these two plain people working the crowd. they were being their candid selves (or were they really?) and the people were just loving it. melay speaks a mile a minute and doesnt seem to have the facility to actually filter herself. jason looked so uncomfortable in his long sleeve. but he really aint bad looking. and his probinsiyano ways (the incessant head scratch) were quite endearing.

the underdog theme of the pair versus the paul jakes and sams of that pbb certainly appealed to the pinoy on the street. dont we all root for that hero who comes from nowhere? dont we all aspire similarly?

so is this an aberration in the beauty and glam of showbizzz? or is there a trend somewhere that will soon be exploited by the other networks?

how long will they last in this glitzy reality? how long before the audience gets tired of them? will the audience get tired sooner because they are not exactly as pleasing to look at?

or perhaps the abs cbn machinery will soon start the make over process, the overhaul in this case. and soon they'll both be glammed up, believing in their irresistible power that the talent center convinced them.

so many questions. for quite a pair. im suddenly feeling sad for them.

boracay hindi bora

im back in boraCAY. (puhlease do not use that awful contraction bora, according to the locals) i used to want to come here every year, at least once. i broke that last year after three consecutive years. this trip was really unplanned. the offer of that media behemoth for this junket came quite unexpectedly. i was hesitating to the very last minute, worried about the million and one things that i need to look into. but in the end, the thought of an all-expenses paid trip to boracay, and the chance to ogle at all the hunks of the network won me over. hihihi

yes, a lot of people here. but i remember seeing much more in my previous trips. the exclusive parties and shows prepared by the network attracted hordes of usiseros, eager to catch a glimpse of an artista or two. i got front row seats at the taping of a show under HOT HOT sun. and it became unbearable after 30mins. the experience was exacerbated by the mega-HOT hunks who were dancing and parading their pecs, abs and biceps. i, of course, maintained my composure. i tried not to look too interested (not sure if i succeeded, though, LOL). i couldnt even take pics of their pecs. sigh.

but the experience of being visually surrounded by all of them was quite enough. will, norman and rafael were taking a dip in the pool in front of us. they were playful, lying on their bellies on their colored inflatables. their bubble butts partially exposed due to loose board shorts. susmaryosep.

the asap sessionistas were on one side of the pool, but mainly on the table, taking their snacks. richard looked so pale and sanitized. but it was duncan ramos who caught my eye while performing. though vertically challenged, it was the bulge that drew my attention, a bulge over such flimsy (gossamer?) white pants! not readily apparent while standing, it was glaring while he moved.

on a more sober note, one of the must things i do when i am on the island is that end-to-end walk. shades, shirtless, ipod, little bag with goggles, cash, i do the trek mid afternoon just in time to catch the sunset famoso. that hike used to have sex as a background theme: the batuhan at the station 3 end used to be so cruisy. but as cc grew older, and the guys at that end became uglier and swishier (hihi), this just became a sunset walk. and it still doesnt fail to uplift me.

at night, the walk would be towards station 1 clubs. it used to be parao and cocomangas. now there's just cocomangas. i used to go there to hunt for prey. but i was successful only once... poor success rate. this time, i didnt even bother to stay and drink. i just checked out the place and had my grilled chorizo and longganiza.

i actually did more work than play there, since i had all these pending items on my worklist. but no complaints. all in all, it was quite an experience, all of it for free courtesy of that network! they have significantly upped the ante on trade shows. heard the other network will try to top it. let's see.

(but nothing much to see there. hihihi)

dear fabcasters... I

its actually a letter to just one fabcaster, fabulous gibbs. which we decided to dissect, analyze, and use as fodder for bitchy conversation. lol. not

not that we felt that it was not serious. on the contrary, it made for serious conversation about the pitfalls of a belated discovery of one's sexual identity. thank God there were no tragic consequences. this fabcast also made me realize, too, that i actually may have callously treated some people in the same manner letter sender was treated.

movietime

traveling affords me the luxury of catching up on films like these two. yeah, its a tiny screen. and poor resolution. but then again, im not watching avatar or alice in wonderland so this should be enough. (i dont need to see the pores and wrinkles of george clooney. if i did, i would have waited for the blu ray. lol)



precious made me teary eyed. seriously. when mariah finally interviews mo'nique about the physical and sexual abuse, tears were beginning to well up. to be subjected to such sexual abuse by your father, your own father. and then all that physical and continuing emotional abuse from your own mother. good grief.

i have met a lot of plu's who have undergone molestation early in their lives. some of them felt that odd mix of shame and pleasure. and curiously, not all of them felt anger towards their abuser. one friend, however, confided in me how that experience scarred him as he was growing up. and i could only feel how he was feeling. thankfully, he has moved on, has liberated himself from the experience.

pretty much like precious. who found the inner strength to just accept, move on and do better for her kids. i love it that precious is no scruffy-looking-but-actually-drop-dead-gorgeous-type. she is plain, obese, unattractive even. she wasnt going to let her growing up experiences, society's beauty norms dictate that she will be a failure all her life. no way.

ultimately, her triumph is superbly inspiring.


up in the air. starts out as an aspirational movie for me. LOL. ryan is always on the move, never to get attached. a whole philosophy built on being free from baggage. about not needing anyone on that level.

but i am serious about this being quite aspirational for me. i wish i could actually live a life without all these romantic notions of relationships and commitment. i wish i could actually meet alex, ryan's alter ego, with a vagina. it's all about enjoying the moment, having fun, being smart and witty and sexy. and its all over, till the next encounter. the ultimate fubu.

of course, the story complicates from there on. and ryan reveals that he may not have entirely swallowed, hook, line and sinker, his own philosophy. and when he succumbs and decides otherwise, harsh reality shatters the illusion.

so even ryan, with his paradigms and lifestyle, actually yearns for the same sappy things as cc. and sadly, he also doesnt get his happy ending.

well, if he only believed what he was saying himself, it wouldnt have come to that.

i wonder. will cc ever get to that point and truly stop believing in all things romantic? will cc ever reach that understanding that he is not meant to be involved, ever? and this is really as good as it gets?

minsan

kaibigan bilang bagong bayani

the best part of traveling is the chance to meet up with friends based there. i had the chance to meet bloggers (@iandmac, @mksurf8), a raider, an ex-date. they all lead busy lives but they managed to spend some time with cc. and im eternally grateful.

the sight of me, a kababayan visiting them in their adopted country, always elicits a heartfelt smile, a firm handshake, sometimes a hug. all of them have stable jobs in sg and most have relationships in the phils. they represent different industries in the services sectors. they are typically busy with work. and i get this sense that they are all thankful for their busy lives for both the financial benefits and the distraction from the loneliness that ultimately sets in.

at such young ages, most of them have started to invest their sg dollars in real estate. and in varying degrees, this means some belt-tightening measures in entertainment and leisure.

those in LDR's find it particularly hard and challenging. but i admire their firm resolve to keep their relationships. i certainly failed in that aspect. one of them, my ex-date, is involved with a local. and it is working out well for him.

when they meet kababayan-friends from the philippines, they are all gracious and generous with their time. they love being able to 'orient' their guests on the ways of the locals. it feels great to be on the receiving end of such effort!

i've never experienced living abroad. and i would never be able to say that 'i know how you feel'. but intuitively, you catch that longing to be 'reunited' with loved ones left here in the phils. and you could only just hug them. no matter how much you try, you wouldn't be able to fill the void anyway.

i'm very, very proud of them. they represent a new generation of Filipinos with good work ethic, multi-functional, cross-cultural competencies yet imbued with a fierce sense of identification with being Filipino.

thank you for taking the time and effort to see this kababayan.

my prince

the half-blood prince was embroiled in controversy when i acquired him. he was the subject of a worldwide recall about the brakes. before that, though, allow me to just say that i am really enjoying the car.

prince mileage in metro manila traffic is about 15km/li so far. a definite improvement from sexyback's 8km/li. a full tank lasts me 10 days now. the dashboard is so electronic and high tech. i even have a digital speedometer projected on the windshield. there are music and a/c controls on steering wheel. even the gear stick is almost knob-like.

it's keyless entry, push-button ignition, as long as you have the remote with you. all leather interiors. and quite roomy for a compact sedan.

the best part is the way it looks. it really is a head-turner. toyota has sold only about 25 units in the phils. so i still get that rubber neck syndrome. it upped my market value a few notches. LOL. though im sure part of the curiosity is the fact that it generated all this attention about recall. (this remains the best-selling car in japan, hitting 20,000 units/mo in jan 2010)

when i first got prince, i noticed that the brake was deeper compared to sexyback. but it didnt slip. it just seemed different. that is the essence of the entire brake problem. it was programmed to be deeper because of the anti-lock brake system compensatory mechanism. hard braking would trigger the abs thereby resulting a feeling of 'unresponsiveness'. but once you have gotten used to it, there is no cause for alarm.

i definitely consulted the dealer about this. and when the worldwide recall started, they personally called me up. with so few units, instead of recall, the toyota motor phils people personally visited each owner and made the software adjustments to make the brake responsive at a level more shallow. they visited me. in 30 mins, they were done.

im still very excited about prince. the new car scent remains, coupled with the smell of leather. (one of the ways i am able to keep that scent longer is by making sure that i NEVER use car perfume or fresheners) i havent taken it for a long ride though.

the problem really is that i have such little time to enjoy all the recent 'toys' and 'playthings". im still enjoying the new house and all its corners. im still enjoying the garden. im still loving the home theater, LED and blu ray. so i look forward to holy week. i will definitely try to enjoy all of these things as much as possible.

change of status meets kababalaghan

iggy, pati pala ikaw may reaction sa aking single fb status.

'iggy likes this' - bakit mo namang magugustuhang single na ako?

changing status

during the unfortunate incident with the talented mr ripley, i changed my fb status to 'in a relationship'... thinking i was going to be in one when he arrived.

it didnt happen but i didnt change that fb status anymore. was thinking that it was a good enough deterrent to pesky fb stalkers like mr ripley.

i changed it recently, only to remain true to myself that i was single. i didnt even realize that little change would be noticed by fb friends.

but it was! comment after comment. most were condolences, affirmations and invitations to drown my sorrow in alcohol or whatever. such comments were sweet and amusing. never thought something like that would matter.

the more curious reactions were the sudden interest in me from fb acquaintances. not much but just enough to make me smile. a few invited to go out. some just wanted me to remember that they are still very much around. lol.

then again, they could all turn out to be mr ripley types just out to give me a ride. so whatever affirmation i was starting to feel fizzled out. sigh.

WELL, IF YOU ARE REALLY INTERESTED, ASK ME OUT PRONTO! nuff said!

kababalaghan ka talaga

di naman kita mapapansin kung di ka daan ng daan sa bintana. marahil, mananatili ka lang isang gwapo sa paligid. pero nauna ka kasing magpapansin. kaya napansin kita. pero bakit nga ba daan ka ng daan dun? ano ba ang pinupuntahan mo? kasi nung dinaanan ko yun, parang wala namang papupuntahan. at mula ng nagkakilala tayo, bakit di ka na dumaan muli?

akala ko ba negosyo at trabaho ang pakay mo at gusto mo akong makilala? bakit hanggang ngayon, ni isang proposal wala ka ng pinadala? patuloy naman ang ating pag-uusap ngunit di mo na nababanggit ang trabaho? eh para kasing atat-na-atat kang makakuha ng negosyo nung umpisa. ang weird mo.

mukha namang marami kang kaibigan. at sabi mo nga, super family man ka. nakakapagtaka lang na sa dami ng tao sa atin, ako yayain mong mag-lunch o uminom ng kaunti. kasi, parang wala naman tayong things in common. (well, pareho pala tayong tumatakbo) yet parang gusto mong makipagkwentuhan. talagang bang kailangan mo ng kaibigan at ako ang napili mong kaibiganin? i mean, ako, a single guy?

sa mga labas natin, ikaw lagi kong pakukuwentuhin. kasi, masaya rin naman ang mga kwento mo tungkol sa pamilya mo. and you should really be very proud. wag mo ng asahan magkukuwento ako. kasi di ko ata kakayaning aminin sa iyo ang tunay kong pagkatao. di pa rin kita kilala. di ko pa rin alam kung anong gagawin mo kung malaman mo. pero sa totoo lang, alam mo naman na, di ba? sana nga sabihin mo na lang diretso na alam mo para mas maging comfortable ako sa iyo.

oo, talagang crush kita, hanep naman kasi ang gwapo mo. pero kaya ko namang maging magkaibigan lang tayo, dahil straight ka at pamilyado. pero sa totoo lang, naguguluhan pa rin ako kasi sa iyo. kasi parang di normal ang takbo ng ating pagkakaibigan. at least not with the way i know straight guys do it.

hay sumasakit lang ulo ko (at puson sa iyo).

back to the old stuff

with this great home theater system, you would think i'd be catching up on all the movies i missed, specially the academy-nominated ones, right?

nope. instead, im watching again movies like fame (the original), bridges of madison county, the promise. i wanted to re-live the experience and go through the emotions again.

fame wowed me the first time. the soundtrack was simply spectacular. certain images remained in my head for years after: irene cara undressing before the opportunistic auteur, paul mcrane singing and playing the guitar with the neon sign behind him, the rocky horror picture show. and the valedictory chorus 'i sing the body electric'. this blu ray version captured the music beautifully.

im going through sappy romantic emo. hence, the promise and bridges of madison county. and again, the feelings washed over me. sigh. love, with all its complications, entrapments.

i'm watching a movie here at home with a date tomorrow. what would you recommend? :-)

natawa lang ako :-)
