You all proudly call yourselves members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. And I congratulate you on that distinction. As members of the church, you saw it fit to break a mother’s heart. I’m sure you had “good intentions”, hoping to show my mom my “sins”. But I question your “intentions” and [...]

On Theism
Posted in GLBT issues, Things I Don't Understand, Thoughts, tagged Atheism, Ben Stein, God, religion, Theism, Urban Legends on November 1, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Written in response to this urban legend…
I find it hard to reconcile a god that would provide water for Hagar’s dying child and yet allow millions of children to be tortured in Treblinka and Auschwitz Birkenau.
But then again, it’s not the concept of god I find abhorent. Some people need to believe in a [...]
Hope
Posted in Livin La Vida Manila, Thoughts, tagged typhoon ondoy on September 29, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Busy through much of Friday night, I fell asleep in the wee hours of Saturday morning to what I thought was the refreshing sound of raindrops on my balcony.
I awoke 10 hours later to news that Metro Manila had received a months’ worth of rainfall in only 6 hours. The city that I love was [...]
How I Met Your Father — A Continuing Love Story
Posted in Thoughts, tagged the teddybear, Thoughts on July 18, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Of the thousand and one things I want to write about: my recent trips, deaths, births, weddings, health scares, and general hat ass-ery, I found these bits and pieces in my old drafts folder and felt compelled to dust it off and see what it looks like in the light…
This one is for our [...]
Back from the Third World
Posted in Thoughts, tagged lacoste, shopping, want on July 4, 2009 | 1 Comment »
To… well, the third world. But at least I’m in my comfy apartment.
I have a bajillion and one stories to tell and probably more pictures to post but I just want to say that Nana has finally been laid to rest.
And I can go back shopping. Starting with this:
Goodbye, Nana
Posted in Thoughts, tagged goodbyes, nana on June 23, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Dearest Nana,
You taught me to find tenacity in the face of grief, to find the joy in the pain, the find the light in the dark. You are strength personified, and today I celebrate your life.
Today you are finally yourself again, unencumbered by wires and tubes and bags and bandages. Today you see Pop-pop again [...]
A Small Bump
Posted in Thoughts, tagged break ups, depression on June 11, 2009 | 5 Comments »
The sun is setting.
I can’t think of a more appropriate analogy to end the hell that is today.
The sun is setting.
After seven years, the sun is setting.
My world is aflame, collapsing in big clouds of ash and dust around me.
I stand here quietly watching it fall apart. Numb. Stoic. In shock.
A tear clears a path on my [...]
That’s Right. It’s Been a Year.
Posted in General Funniness, Thoughts on June 6, 2009 | 6 Comments »
Didn’t even realize it until now. Jeez. This day is all about new realizations.
Methinks blogging for a year has dulled my perceptive abilities, but oh well.
I’m basking in my betterthanyouness.
Happy Bloggiversary to me!
Letter to My Kids
Posted in Thoughts, tagged open letter to my kids on June 3, 2009 | 6 Comments »
I’ve got a bajillion and one blogs in my google reader from all parts of the planet. Some of them are in LA, some are in Utah, some are in Australia, some are in Manila, and some are in places so far forlorn I can’t even pronounce them (these are usually filled with pictures of [...]
I Die A Little
Posted in GLBT issues, Things I Don't Understand, Thoughts, tagged gay issues, GLBT issues, hate, lgbt issues, No to Prop 8, prop 8, Proposition 8 on May 27, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Amidst the ensuing turmoil when California decided to UPHOLD Proposition 8, I couldn’t help but just fall on my knees and cry hard.
Today, in California, and in many other parts of the world, I am a second-class human being.
In Seattle, I would have a hard time finding a place to grab a beer without the [...]
Whoring vs. Masturbation

The internets is fun. Today I ran across a website from an old acquaintance dedicated solely to her upcoming wedding.
True, weddings are a joyous ocassion, and I’m not trying to be bitter or anything (of course by saying that out loud you can tell I kinda am), but seriously: a website? The invitation will suffice, thank [...]
In Other News…

Obama signed an extension SCHIP. According to the SF Chronicle:
The measure, which calls for increasing SCHIP spending by $32.8 billion over four-and-a-half years, will be funded by a 62-cent-per-pack increase in the federal cigarette tax. The bill will provide coverage for the additional four million children by 2013, while continuing coverage for seven million children [...]
Nothing To See Here… Move Along…
Posted in Thoughts on January 29, 2009 | 2 Comments »
So it’s 5pm EST, which is 6am in Manila. I’m wrapping up my laptop and calling it a day. Disconnect my VPN, shut down my Outlook, and open up my Google Reader.
Goodie! Texas Blue Bonnet has a new post!
I totally walked right into that one. Next time, Csquared, give a gay a warning, k? The [...]
Waking Up

Martin Luther said on that fateful day in 1963…
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
This is what it must be like to wake up.
Today is a magnificent [...]

The Crackberry Weekend
Posted in Thoughts, tagged Crackberry on December 5, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I lost my little Obama about a week ago and I thought I’d go nuts. This is my little Obama:
This was a “Blackjack” device from Samsung. Boy do those pesky Koreans know how to rip off or what? I mean seriously, “Blackjack”? Couldn’t think of anything to trump “Blackberry”?
So this week I thought I’d make [...]
Random Snippets

Snippet 1:
World, meet Tag and Phoebe.
I recently brought them bling in the form of collars. Yes, the collars were meant for cats, but that’s nothing an awl and scissors can’t fix. You’ll notice that Tag’s got a dignified plaid collar, and Phoebe’s got a flowery collar with a bell.
Tag’s taken to laughing hysterically curiously amused [...]

First off, shout-outs are due to VAMp (seriously, you need to start blogging again), Divanna (stop facebooking and start a blog already!), Csquaredplus3 (I heart you, Pumkin! I think I replied to your email, don’t know if you got it), and Deidre (that’s right, your big curls DO bring all the boys to the yard!) [...]
Rainy Days and Mondays Always get me ROBBED

Oh. My. Fucking. God.
I came in, dropped my keys in the key bowl, put my two phones and my wallet on the bookcase in the living room, and crashed on my bed.
Two hours later, I wake up to the front door hacked open and both phones INCLUDING MY WALLET WITH ALL MY IDs IN IT
GONE.
LA-DEE-FUCKING-DA
