Hiatica’s Bonbons

When Hannah introduced herself on the stage during her Senior Casa Graduation in Montessori, she announced loudly and proudly to the audience that she wants to be a ballet dancer.

different classes of gay

June 4, 2009

Details magazine made a feature about the different classes of gay in their December 2008 issue. It addresses the ‘already growing trend’ of homosexuals who doesn’t fit in the limp wrist, hip swaying, high pitched voice, and comic kind and brand of gay.
The article was received  with half hate and half love. People love the article because of deeper involvement in gay culture and the breaking to stereotypes. People who hated it said that it is “Vacuous. Snobbish. Offensively reductive. Overall, the perfectly representative Details piece.”
A number of people noted that such distinctiveness between gay people are already there and don’t need to be pointed out by Captain Obvious. Since the US is very ‘out there,’ in a sense that your sexuality is nothing more but a preference, then this kind of publication is well suited for The Onion.
Recently by the completion of this post. Pres. Obama declared June 2009 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month.
There’s nothing much to say anymore is there?

A Day Trip to Tambuli Beach Resort

April 28, 2009

This is a relatively old beach resort that does not have as many amenities as the more well-known beach resorts in the area, but for the price they charge, Tambuli is a real bargain for a day at the beach.  We enjoyed a beautiful day swimming in both the ocean and the pool followed by some fairly good Filipino food.

It was so quite and peaceful there; we almost fell asleep after lunch.  I would describe this resort as rustic and reminiscent of the way beach resorts in the Philippines were twenty years ago.view more pics of tambuli beach resort.
