I’m No Beauty, So Don’t Expect Me To Be

August 17, 2007

It always annoys me whenever some guy pretending to be smart and funny and a gentleman, who hasn’t seen me yet, tells me this one line:

I don’t care about your looks.

Ahh. Never fails to earn my ire, really. One word, though: overrated.

Or, the not-so-subtle one: LIAR!!! *imitates Elle Woods in Legally Blonde*

Mr Bean’s Tip on Dating and Courting

August 4, 2007

Here is what Mr. Bean’s got to say in courting and dating:

How can one man have so much power over you?

July 27, 2007

I watched the DVD of Music and Lyrics a few days ago. I’m a hundred years late in watching this film but I don’t mind. I still loved it anyway.

I liked it for the fact that I was reminded of how men are total jerks. Recall the scenes where Drew talked about her relationship with famous novelist, Sloan. She struggled with the fact that she invested her love on a guy who would eventually write a book about it in not so good words - thus earning his income on her sad, pitiful story. Kiss and tell. And those who tell most often than not choose the way they tell - where they turn out to be the victims. Men? Victims. Come on.

Feeling friendly

July 18, 2007

I woke up pretty late then passed by the university to pick up my clearance and transcripts. I immediately went home to avoid meeting other people. Hehe… — I mean I went to SB.

I know someone would relate in my spending my free hours/day at SB . We’re inow n a different generation who prefers a little noise and occasional distraction (probably secondary to shorter attention span) and abhors prolonged solitude when studying (ooppsss.. this is already another story).

Anyway today is an atypical day at SB. I started to hang-out at around noon.

When is it love?

July 9, 2007

As what i promised danica, I posted this entry as endearment to her previous entry on love. Love is a very powerful human emotion that is hard to define. It can make a person undergo various emotions - happy, sad, elated, depressed, lonely, lively, frustrated, etc. depending on the situation and circumstance around a person.

Find out and assess yourself if you have experienced how it is to love and to be loved.

SIGNS OF LOVE

Abiding sense of comradeship - there is a spirit of mutual thoughtfulness, an eagerness to understand each other. Sweethearts and pals. They enjoy being together. When they are absent from each other, each is in the background of the other’s thoughts.

Feeling that life has been lifted to a higher level - they inspire each other to new hopes, new virtues, honor and loyalty, all of these providing them stability.

Putting sexual feelings in perspective - ordinarily, there is a stirring of sexual desires. This is not uncleanness. The reactions will be curbed, to control, to manage this desire. Love curbs the crude and selfish.

Confidence and trust - two person in love learn they can count on each one at all times.

Just a Little Friend Dilemma

July 3, 2007

I’m supposed to blog about a news article I read earlier about a potential cure for HIV that has been discovered but I changed my mind as soon as I flipped open my Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine book. I got reminded that the chapter on HIV is only about 50+ pages long. And since I’m not really in the mood for some academic stuff and lengthy posts, I dumped the idea. Maybe you could just go read the article for the meantime. And maybe I’ll post something about HIV next time. Or maybe in the near future. But surely not now.

Instead, I’ve decided to bore you with some teeny weeny little issue that has been on my mind lately.

Most of my friends are either married, engaged to be married, or in a relationship. So it’s already an accepted fact that, as months and years pass by, the circle of friends attending the Saturday tambay nights is getting smaller and smaller. Currently, I’m one of those who are single and not in a relationship so I’m a regular during these Saturday nights (Actually, I’m always a regular, even before when I was still in a relationship). And I don’t mind that there are less people every Saturday than it used to. I mean, it’s most possible that each one of us (or most of us) will be starting our own families in the near future and it wouldn’t be healthy if we maintain the tambay nights then. So, we are trying to enjoying it now while we still can. Never mind those who can’t come. They have valid reasons, anyway.

What I don’t like hearing is that some of my friends, who aren’t attending the tambay nights that often anymore, are complaining that their partners are hindering them from joining. The reason, according to them, is that they’re already engaged to be married and they ought to be getting used to spending less time with the barkada so they won’t be craving for that tambay time anymore when they got married. Of course, they’re willing to make adjustments. But to not see friends anymore? It’s rather unfair.

Munting Halamanan ni SPO4 AGNI

July 1, 2007

 

 Napakagandang tanawin kung ating makikita na ang mga bakanteng lote sa isang subdivision ay puno ng pananim, mga sari-saring gulay na ating pwedeng ihain sa hapag kainan. Minsan isang Sabado ako’y napadaan sa isang bakanteng lote habang ako ay nag jo-jogging. Nakita kong nililinisan ng isa sa ating kasamahan na connektado sa Dangerous Drug Board na si SPO4 Priscillo R. Agni na nakatalaga sa opisina ni Secretary Anselmo S. Avenido, Jr., ang bakanteng lote. Ako’y napahinto at imbis na mag-jogging ay naisip kong tulungan na lang si Agne sa paglilinis at pagtatanggal ng mga bato.

Makalipas and ikalawang linggo ako’y napadaan at sa aking tuwa ay kinunan ko ng larawan na lingid sa kaalaman ng iba ay aking ilalathala sa pahina na eto. Si SPO4 Agni ay isang ehempleyo na dapat tularan. Tahimik, simple at hindi uma-asa ng ano mang kapalit o pagdakila sa kanyang ginagawa. Siya’y kasamahan ng aking malayong kamag-anak na si Lt. Noli Dechino nuong kapanahunan ng rehimeng Marcos sa Presidential Security Group (PSG) at ngayo’y nakatalaga sa staff ni Secretary Avenido, Jr., na dating kasamahan din ng aking Tiyong si Hen. Emilio S. Luga, Jr., nuong sila’y naninilbihan pa sa militar. Hindi maglalaon si SPO4 Agni ay mag re-retire na sa serbisyo pagkatapos ng mahabang paahon na makulay na panunungkulan sa pamahalaan. Kung ito man ay makarating sa kanyang hepe at ang kanyang kaibigan na si Linda na ngayo’y nasa Japan, kami po’y nagbibigay pugay sa aming kasamahan si SPO4 Agni na dapat halintularan hindi lamang bilang naninilbihan sa pamahalaan kundi bilang isang kasamahan sa subdivision at lipunan, sa kabu-uan.

Dude, I Told You She’s Just Waiting For Your Move

June 23, 2007

I remember a conversation with a friend who has some “problems” about asking his GF to…make out (and going all the way).

Guy: I don’t know how to ask her about it. She seems conservative. She might get mad or offended.

Me: Trust me, she’s just waiting for your move.

Of course, we’re not talking about a couple of teenagers here. I don’t want to be a bad influence! Both, I think, are of legal age and may engage in sexual relations if they want to.

My close guy-friends also asked me about this: How do you know if she wants to have sex? There’s a common notion that women want less sex than men. This perhaps can be blamed on the society’s promotion of sexual stereotypes: that men are more sexually permissive than women. Men are expected by the society to be more adventurous with sex, have sex with as many people as possible, or to be more verbal about their want for sex.

On the other hand, women are expected by the society to see sexual permissiveness as a social taboo. And so, men aren’t embarrassed if you find them browsing Playboy magazines or viewing sex movie scandals, but women would be blushing angry red if you caught them even a foot near such things.

There is, however, a study that debunks the myth that women want sex less than men. The study, published in the April issue of the journal Sex Roles, reveals that “sexual stereotypes don’t hold when romantic feelings come into play” (LiveScience.com). According to the study, when women are in a committed relationship, they ditch the society-imposed gender roles and express their want for intimate relations.

Celebrating Father’s day

June 15, 2007

In a few days it will be Father’s day. I feel there isn’t much of a hulabaloo about this day than what usually happens with Mother’s day. I wonder why? ;)

I have been celebrating my father on Father’s day for years. Now I am celebrating two fathers, my husband included.

And on this year’s Father’s day I celebrate the following about my father:

  • Unlimited patience
  • Extensive knowledge
  • Strong will
  • Devotion
  • Faith

EMPATHY BELLY: the best way to educate men about pregnancy

May 22, 2007

A few days back I watched a show in British television about the next chapter of the life of a famous glamour model and Page3 girl Jordan and Peter Andre. In the program Peter was made to wear an empathy belly and go about doing the activities of a pregnant wife like going up and down the stairs, picking stuff from the floor, sitting in the chair and driving a car, etc.  It was quite fun to watch as well as educational.

 

Indeed the empathy belly is an important tool to show the husbands the physical aspect of how it feels like to have a bump. Invented by Linda Ware of the Birthways Childbirth Resource Center Inc., it took five years of professional testing and evaluation including the analysis by the National Institute of Safety and Health.

 

It is a tool that has a big impact on the effectiveness of teaching by counselors, nurses and midwives, family planning instructors and childbirth educators. Originally this is designed for the said purpose but ITV television took one step further; to educate husbands or expectant fathers about real difficulty experienced by their pregnant wives throughout the duration of the pregnancy.

Making Friends Understand Your Sexuality

May 15, 2007

It has been a while since I had to go through the motions of explaining my sexuality to anyone and last Sunday was another opportunity for me to do so - to straight friends. My college friends and I had a mini-reunion of sorts. We have been friends for nine years and in the first six of those years, they never knew I was gay. I came out to them some three years ago, but I haven’t really told them how it’s like to live as a gay man in this world.

It’s kind of awkward to talk about your sexuality in the midst of straight male and female friends. First, you’ll have to deal with the fact that they have a different view of homosexuality (some of them homophobic to some extent). And second, you’ll have to deal with people in total shock (no matter how they pretend they’re not) that the straight chickboy they once knew turned out to be gay.

So how does one deal with straight friends?  How do you make them understand?

101 Things Not To Say During Sex

May 7, 2007

Anyways, I was surfing random sites when this popped out. It says “101 Things Not To Say During Sex” and boy do I agree. I’m gonna be honest that I once heard myself saying number 50. That was long ago and was a really, really bad move. Hope this would serve as a warning to those who can’t shut up their mouth while doing the deed. Enjoy!

101 Things Not To Say During Sex

1. But everybody looks funny naked!

2. You woke me up for that?

3. Did I mention the video camera?

4. Do you smell something burning?

5. (in a janitor’s closet) And they say romance is dead…

Filipinos’ View of Adopted Kids/People

May 1, 2007

I was channel surfing earlier today when I stumbled upon the ever familiar “The BUZZ” (with Ruffa Guttierez-Bektas, Kristy Fermin and Boy Abunda) on ABS-CBN channel. My sister, upon seeing the gossip talk show, asked me to drop the remote and stop pushing the buttons for a while. I obliged since I wasn’t interested to any particular shows that were being aired. While watching the show’s cast dishing out the headlines, I was intrigued by one of their headline stories. They were insinuating that a “well known star” was an ampon ( adopted) and claimed to have the legitimate birth certificate of the “star”.

On Finding True Love In TV Chat Rooms

April 19, 2007

Usually these chat rooms have numerous people chatting at one time with topics ranging from the usual how’s-ur-day greeting to the more direct i-wanna-f*ck-someone-now-call-me. Talk about lack of inhibitions of our teens now huh? And mind you not only do girls and boys have all the fun nowadays but gays and lesbians as well. I don’t know if there is such a term used for this act but I would refer to this act as “cyber voyeurism”.

Need To Enjoy Sex

April 18, 2007

My admirer in the Yahoo! Answers emailed me about sex and how to enjoy it.

I am not really a well experienced one on sex but I need to answer the questions for her or else she’ll turn her back at me and forget that there’s a time that she admired me.

A Love Letter For No One

April 17, 2007

I know you are there. Somewhere. You just have to be.

In my mind I can see you in that dark and gloomy train station. Sitting on a bench. Waiting for the train to come while stealing occasional glances, jealously, at the couple sitting beside you. As they, oblivious to your singular presence, proudly declare their unflinching love in their own private world. While you are there. Left alone. Sitting on a bench. Waiting. Wondering why all these years all the men that come up to you are all those who are destined, only, to say goodbye.

There’s More To Spider-Man Than The Sexy Outfit

April 16, 2007

I knew it. It isn’t just about Peter Parker being a sensitive, compassionate guy. It isn’t just about Spidey being a crime fighter with superpowers. It isn’t even about those cute, tight buns that got M.J. hooked. The spider venom may have rendered our hero the stamina to last longer in bed too.

A study conducted at an Israeli hospital, and involving the black widow and two other species, seeks to find the possibility of using venom to treat erectile dysfunction after finding out that patients bit by spiders are experiencing prolonged erections, too.

black widow

This should be interesting. Although not a novel idea, it could give Viagra, Cialis and the like, a run for the money, if the substance gets identified, subjected to pharmacologic testing, and verified to be relatively safer, if not as potent than current treatments.

A question remains, though. Will treated patients wield web slinging abilities, too? -)

Dream Me A Wife!

April 12, 2007

Do you guys still remember my good ol’ buddy Bao Xishun? Yep, he’s the guy who bagged his wife after choosing her over numerous applicants from all over the world. Apparently he’s a celebrity for being the tallest man on earth. Now ladies let me remind you this equation once again just in case you all forget. Tall guy is not equal to long schlong. I could just hear Bao’s wife agreeing in whatever language she speaks. She says, ” Bao’s schlong not long but Bao’s balls on schlong go like ding-dong!”
