Dubai Diaries: Page 3 (Part2)

Basahin ang Part 1 first kung di pa ito nabasa.

Mga isang oras din akong nagyosi na walang Enya or Clannad dahil nasa tabi na ni Chubs matulog ang mga New Age Divas na toh. Sabi ko, isang yosi na lang at babalikan ko na si Anne Rice at ang kayang castrato... ng bigla na lang may dumaan sa harapan ko. Si Papa Police! The Raging Stallion. Naka-dishdasha (Arab robe). Off duty na! Dumaan, wala pa ring smile pero may salita na.

"Salaam Alaikom!" sabi nya. "Salaam" sagot ko. Yun lang at dumaan lang talaga sya. Sabi ko sa sarili ko. Wala to. Wala! Halfway na sya sa sleeping quarters nilang mga Police at huminto ito. Doon sa madilim na area. Sa empty quarters na part. Umupo doon at nagsindi ng sigarilyo. Wag munang matulog Lyka, wag muna!

Chain smoking ang drama ko. Pero sya isa lang at wala ng sindi ulit, doon pa rin sa kayang inuupuan. Pero eto na, nakaharap sa akin at pinagmasdan nga ako. May patayo may paupo ulit. Alam nya na pinagmamasdan ko rin sya. Halos tulog na ang lahat except sa mga night duty officers na nasa lobby ng Station. Ang sleeping quarters... nasa likuran. Nasa likod kami ng station. Tahimik malayo sa lobby. Kaya, medyo safe!

Punta kaya ako ng toilet. Dalawa ang shower rooms/toilets dito. Ang isa ay malapit sa aming room at yung isa naman ay malapit doon sa mga rooms ng mga Police. Medyo mas malinis yung sa kanila. Kaya mas bet kong doon umihi. Pero yung totoo, di puno ang bladder ko. Iihi lang ako for the sake na madadaanan ko sya patungo sa malinis na toilet. At yun nga ang ginawa ko.

Habang palapit na ako sa kanya, tumayo si Police Papa. Binati naman ako, "Hi friend, do you have an extra cigarette". (In Arabic ha!). "Yes" sagot ko habang bumubunot ng extra cig for him. "You can't sleep?" sabi nya "Come with me".

Ano ito? Ito na toh! Pumasok si Papa Police sa isa sa mga empty quarters. At ako naman di ko alam ang gagawin ko. Checked ko muna kung may tumitingin. Baka nagising si Chubs. Wala. As in Wala! Kaya go na ako.

Ng pumasok ako sa room.... nakita ko ang hindi makakalimutang scene sa buong Sex Life History koh ever! Si Papa Police at ang kanyang dishdasha (robe). Ang hem sa baba ng robe ay sumasabit sa India Arie nya na super galit hardy boys. Of course, wala ng underwear. BIG-atin ito and the dark color complimented the white robe talagah. At ang hirit ni Papa: "Do you want this?" Gosh! Napaluhud tuloy ako. Amen!

First of all, Lollipops fernandez lang talagah ang plano ko for Papa Police. Sa dahilan na (1. Mas mabilis ito at di messy. 2. Di ako naka-pag prepare (You know what i mean) and 3. Walang comdomnation!). Police Papa enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed the Lolli-Pop. Maingay si Papa. Moaning here and everywhere. I was a little bit worried at baka may makakarinig. I was scared but at the same time ecstatic.

He held me.... at pinatayo. Standing ovation na kami. Then, he kissed me like I was his long lost girlfriend na puta from gapo. Ang mga kamay... pinasok na sa shorts ko sa likod. At doon ko nalaman na iteresado sya sa pwetty koh! Oh-no.

Umupo si Papa. Hinubad ang dishdasha. Holy-Geez-Gosh-Wow!!!! Pang Raging Stallion Porn talaga ang katawan. At si India Arie ni Papa, reading-ready na. "Sit on it" sabi nya.... Anetch????? Ano ito? I cant do this. "Papa, all i want is Suck Efron". Ayaw nya! He wants Tu-fuck Shakur! Ayoko! Walang kundum! At baka hinahanap na ako ni Chubs dahil baka may tawag na ang Ambulansya. Pero ayoko ring iwan ang Raging Stallion na toh. Pagkakataon na rin toh. All i want is Suck Efron lang talaga so i make luhod again to do it. Pero talagang ayaw na ni Papa si Lollipops fernandez! He wants Pene-lope Cruz na talagah!

No! I cant do this. So, tumayo na ako at aalis na sana. When i was near the door na.... biglang may humugut sa likuran ko at pinaharap sa wall. I was facing the wall with him at my back. Hinuburan na ako. I fought back pero sobrang malakas ang papa na toh. Nasasaktan na ako. Grabe ang kapit nya sa mga arms ko. Very forceful sya and I know na libog na libog na sya. Concentrate Lyka, concentrate. Dont Panic. So i thought of something.....

"OK," i told him. "Let's do it. You dont have to force me, Im hurt" sabi ko. "Im sorry" yun lang ang sagot nya at ako'y ni-release. "Go sit, while I undress" sabi ko. At habang nakatalikod na sya para umupo, super takbo na palabas si Wonder Woman. Wala ng ikot-ikot pa. And there, nakaabot sa kwarto, hingal. Si Chubs tulog pa rin, still with Enya sa mga tenga nitoh.

-----O-----

Epilogue:
That was the closest i got sa experience na ma-rape. Hindi ako makatulog that night. Besides, sa masakit talaga ang katawan ko sa ginawa ni Raging Stallion sa akin, I was worried also na baka babaliktarin nya ako. Isumbong sa kapwa Police na I did seduce him. Na ako ay isang puta. Baklang Puta (mas worse kay sa puta). Pwedeng ganon. Possible mangyari yun. Baka ako makulong. Kaya di talaga ako makatulog.

Nang bigla na lang may kumatok sa pintuan namin. OMG! Ito na ang katapusan ko.

"Hadis!" (Accident!) "Nurses! wake up!" "Chubs! Gising! May tawag tayo". Bilis bihis kami ni Chubs kaagad. Go sa ambulance at go sa scene. Nang nandoon na kami, big accident nga ang nakita namin. Chaos! Tatlong kotse ang involved! First responder kami. Isa na kaagad ang patay, dami pang injured. Lumabas ang pagka Florence Nightingale ko, in an Emergency Setting. Nakalimutan ang sakit sa katawang dulot ni Papa Police kanina! Action kung action!

Pagod kami ni Chubs after the tawag. Alas singko na ng umaga ng nakatulog. Pagising the next day, lunchtime na. Sa mess hall, habang kumakain kami ni Chubs, bigla na lang sya nagtanong. "Ano yang nasa arms mo?" Gosh, at doon ko nalaman na puno ng bruises pala ako. " Wala yan," sagot ko "sa tawag natin yan kagabi". "Aaaaah!" ang tanging masabi ni Chubs.

-the end-

(for the record, eto na ata ang pinaka-mahaba kung post. Kasing haba ng kay Raging Stallion! Chos!)

Dubai Diaries: Page 3

Warning: Medyo Bastos

Ambulance Nurse ako doon sa Dubai. Ang mga ambulansya doon ay under sa Police Department. Every week, iba't ibang stations kami naa-assign. Kung saan may police station, doon din kami. Pero once a month naman, we are assigned outside the city. In the outskirts of Dubai kung baga. Doon sa mga desert towns na medyo me kalayuan. 4 days and 3 nights kami doon. Housed in those towns' Police Stations.

Dalawang Ambulance Nurses ang pinapadala every 4 days in each outskirt station. Swerte ka kung Pinoy ang kasama mo. Para naman may maka-chika ka. Better pa kung bading na katulad mo. (Pero yung ibang bading, ayaw makasama ang ibang bading. Competesnya raw. Ill explain later.) Kung minsan chakang Egyptian for the whole 4 days ang kasama mo sa kwarto. Di ba kalokah yan? Sobra pa ang hilik ng mga toh. Para ma-aliw ang sarili, magbasa ka na lang ng Anne Rice. Or di kaya Ken Follet kung paminta ka. Chos!

So eto na. Minsan, na-assign ako sa outskirts. Salamat naman at kasama ko'y Pinoy din. Straight ito, chubingbing. Me asawa't anak. Tawagin na lang natin syang Chubs. Pagkatapos ng report from the previous assigned Nurses, tulog kaagad ang kasama ko. Ako naman walang magawa kaya istambay sa labas. Yosi habang nakikinig kay Enya (Discman lang dahil wala pang IPod noon). Chaka ang mga Police dito. Matatadush! Kalokah. Di wagi ang duty ko dito. Sana walang tawag ang Ambulasya sa buong four days para naman vacation ang drama sa desyerto ni Lyka.

Doon lang ako sa labas. Inumpisahan ko ng magbasa kay Anne. Cry To Heaven. Page four pa lang at nahinto na ako. May dumaang tumatakbo sa harap ko. Arabong Police. Off-Duty. Jogging ang drama. Leche! Ang gwapo! Tumingin at walang smile. Hmmm.... maghintay muna si Anne at ang kanyang Castrato.

Everytime dumaan ang Papa Police, nakatingin ito sa akin. Wala pa ring smile. Yosi pa rin ako. Wala ring smile. Pinagmasdang mabuti si Papa Police. Naka-shorts at naka sando. Malaki ang katawan. Parang porn star ng Raging Stallion. Lokang loka ako. Dark skinned pa man din. Leche! Wala talagang smile, puro tingin lang. Ilang beses naulit ito everytime napadaan sya sa harap ko. At nahinto na lang tinginan naming dalawa dahil kay Chubs: "Pare may yosi ka pa?"

Ayon! kwentuhan ever na lang kami ni Chubs. Lahat ng problema ni Chubs nakwento nya na. Pasalamat sya at walang Emergency na nagaganap sa town na yun. Otherwise, wala syang advice na makukuha sa akin.

Buong araw ang kwentuhan namin ni Chubs. Sa kwarto, sa labas ng kwarto, sa mess hall, sa labas ng mess hall, kahit saan. Di ko na nakita si Papa Police ulit. Asan na kaya sya? Until dinner time, sa kitchen, habang kumakain kami ni Chubs, nakita ko ulit si Jogger Police. Naka-uniform na ito. Ahaaa! Afternoon shift pala sya. 1PM to 9PM pala ang duty nya. Ngayon, alam ko na. May pag-asa mamayang gabi. Chos!

Gabi na. mga 10PM. Kwetuhan pa rin kami ni Chubs. Sa isip ko naman. Chubs! Matulog ka na! Eh ayaw pa. Kakainis naman. Anyways, di ko naman sight-tsina si papa Police ko. So OK lang. Sa labas kami istambay ni Chubs. Yosi here and more kwentuhan there. Bitbit ko pa rin ang walkman ko. Tanong ni Chubs kung ano ang CD ko. Enya, sagot ko. "Parinig" sabi nya. Ayun pinakinggan. Type ng bruho. As in like nya raw. Pampatulog. Sabi ko, sige hiramin mo. At ayun napag-isipang matulog na ni Chubs. Bitbit si Enya. Tanong: "Eh Ikaw?" Sagot: "Mamaya na ako".

Mga isang oras din ang yosi-tambay ko ng nakita ko ulit ang Raging Stallion.


Itutuloy.... Bukas naman at antok na ako!

Jezebel's Fall

This is Project Runway_LTE's Behind The Scenes. From Season 1, Jezebel's fall. Watch.



Ayan! Ayan! Nag ala Miss Quimbao kaya nanalo. Tse!

Project Runway-LTE Season 2 Result

Project Runway-LTE Season 2 result:

Winner: Ekra Tan (52 Points)

The Mustard Triumphs!
Ekra's incorporation of yellow mustard color nylon on everything and anything was agreed to be delicious by the majority. The color pattern, the variety, the origami- styled execution (accdg. to Jay Aureus) and the new hair! Everything went well with the mustard. The collection triumphs! And from now on, it's Mustard on Everything, Pls!

Ekra's innovation and creativity plus her detailed rendition bestowed her the Project Runway Season 2 trophy. The "proportionality and balance", "the vibrance and the fun", and the "originality". With Ekra's design, You can now have anything and whatever, provided you sprinkle it with a little bit of mustard. Ang sabi nga ni Mark Twain: "...try the mustard, a man can't know what turnips are in perfection without mustard".

Mustard-Lovers: Ernesto, Blue, Yajnat, James, Kiks, Jay Aureus, Mel Beckham, Gibo, and Yffar.

Second Place: Mama O (40 Points)

Good and Evil shown Opposite Views
Mama O's The Devil and Miss Prym dresses got mixed reviews. Paulo Coelho says "People want to change everything and, at the same time, want it all to remain the same". That is what exactly happened to Mama O in Season 2. Her decision for change was a fight between good and evil. Subtle vs Crazy. Like the townspeople of Viscos, her dresses displayed a fight between good and evil. To change or not to change. That is her question.

Craziness was added but Mama O's simplicity signature remains obvious. This is maybe why she got mixed reviews. She got divided votes from the judges. Like Ms Prym, her decision to kill or not to kill for the gold was passed on to the jury's consideration of letting her win. That left her in Second Place.

Those who struggled between good and evil with Mama O: Kawadjan, Fuchsiaboy, Wilberchie, and Rik32Miles

Third Place (Tie) : Jezebel Patel and Lyka Bergen (34 Points each)

The Plastic is no good friend with Lace.
Laceymaplasticalooza was a concert flop. It was supposed to be a festival of freedom, life, love, and music just like Coachella or The Burning Man. It didnt deliver because the two main line-up didnt go together, Plastic Electronica and Lace Divas. It was like Hip Hop merged with Rock.

Season 1 Winner Jezebel failed the attempt to win consecutively. Her Laceyma-plasticalooza was considered as an extension of her Geisha Ballerina collection by the majority. Her Bjork opening number made a mark though. But despite all the negative criticisms Ms Patel is still happy with the outcome. She borrowed a line from her bestfriend Bjork: "I am a grateful... grapefruit!"

Laceymaplasticalooza Attendees: Bryan Anthony and Reyna Elena

The Superheroes Who Cant Fly.
This is the only Superhero movie that didnt leave a mark. Lyka's Superheroes Wives didnt fly high. Actually, most remained on the ground. Beaten, wounded and doomed by their nemesis. The judges felt the script was okay but the execution was tacky. The tying and knotting made an impression that the movie was a "Pito-pito". It was like Love In The Time Of Cholera. Beautiful book, ugly movie.

"The execution was misunderstood" according to its director. She is not being defensive. She is just making a point. "But it was made for the moviegoers and not for the critics". "It was made for entertainment... just like any Superhero movie is all about". "I love my movie and I'll stand to that". "And just like Queen Hippolyte says, I always tell myself: "Go in peace my daughter, And remember that, in a world of ordinary mortals, you are a Wonder Woman."

Superhero Fan: Bituin

------O-----

Congratulations to Ekra Tan for winning Project Runway-LTE Season 2. Thank you all for taking part and the support for this project. Abangan ang Season 3 next month. This is your host, Ms Sastre Mananahi, saying...... Ingats!

5 Thoughts Today

1. I dont take care much of myself lately. Sister Ekra does her swimming slash boys-in-trunks- watching regularly; Baby sis Jezebel does her treadmill every morning while listening to Chicken Carey; and Mama O even hired her own $70/hour Peruvian personal trainer besides having her daily doses of testosterone and protein shakes. And back home in the Islands, busy Kelly doesnt need it with her skinny frame. Sexercise with her young BF works wonders. But me..... ignoring Bowflex.

2. I feel so old. And feeling so alone. Blame it to Gibo and Kiks. I was dragged down, attached to their posts on aging. But Kiks has his casual sex and Gibo has Syria. (FYI, Syria is not female. Tse!). I wonder kung saang park ko na-iwan si Libido. I think I should steal some of Mama O's testosterone syrup. I feel tired without doing anything. And these bitches calling me "Kuya" at work. Di ako sanay! Obagi cannot hide the lines. I'll switch back to Prevage. Mandaya, its your turn.

3. Am so away from the flock. My cousin sent me pictures of my nephews and nieces from home. 'Drea was the Baby Queen in our town's fiesta. Ang ganda ng bruha! Asan pa ba nagmana? I wished I was there to design the gown. Chos! Then, there was them. Pictures of everyone from home. Mom, Dad, my siblings, all... The Album Leaf's Over The Pond (see Song of the Week) plays in my ITunes simultaneously with the pics slideshow. Di ko namalayan napaluha ako! Gosh! Miss ko na pala ang Pinas. Leche!

4. Blogger Friends. Kalokah. I spent almost 5 hours chatting with Fuchsiaboy last night ha. Sa 2 years ng LTE, i gained friends that i havent met before. Kahit online friendship lang, we shared thoughts, advices, katuwaan, etc like normal friends do. I already spoke with Jericho, Kiks and Gibo sa phone. (Mga paminta ang mga boses! Tse!). Have been YMing with Kawadjan, Mandaya, Bananas, Maruja, Yajnat, Mrs. J, Bryan Anthony, Yffar, The Zen Bitch, Kiel, Bituin etc. And of course, met Jake and my now baby-sis Jezebel in person. At higit sa lahat, minsan, I fell in love with one of the above names mentioned. Ayoko ng i-elaborate pa. Tse!

5. Fourth ako sa Project Runway-LTE (so far). Venga ang mga critics. Kalokah! Matataray ang jury. Jury Vega talagah! Fierce ang competition. I remember joining a National Cooking Contest when i was young pa. I really wanted to win. Nakaka tense yun. As in interview ever ako ni Ali Sotto about my Art of Cooking at ang mga judges, including Rina Jimenez-David, ask ng ask ng Q's. Pressured ang Lyka at that time. Very competitive!

Project Runway-LTE reminds me of my experience in joining that contest. Kalokah! Kaka-tense. Ang kinalabasan sa cooking contest, Third Place lang ako among 8 contestants from all over Philly. Medyo disappointed ako sa ranking (siguro dahil bata pa ako at immature noon) until nalaman ko a week after na na-feature ang Recipe ko sa MOD Magazine. At ang winner and second placer, Hindi! Wahahahaa! first ako kay Rina Jimenez-David, editor ng MOD. Tse!

Anyways, Project Runway- LTE Season 2 is still going on. Be the judge. Voting ends Friday. SEE NEXT POST.

Thank you to all the support, bitches! Salamat sa 2-years na okrayan, landian, at sa lahat na kabaklaang dulot nyo sa blog na toh! Kung wala kayo, di tatagal ang blog na toh. Hikbi. Drama! Tse!

LTE's History of Present Illness:
LTE (Las Tres Estrellas) started with 3 sisters, Lyka Bergen, Ekra Tan and Kelly Carson. Each has their own blog dati. Blogs that were more personal at walang kabaklaan. To express each one's faggotry, napag-isipan na mag join forces at gumawa ng Fag Blog. Thus, the birth of Las Tres Estrellas. Naging masaya ang mga bading at na-aliw ng husto. Ngayon, itong si Mira Oracle, gusto ring mag join. Kaya lang Tres lang ang Las Tres eh. Pumilit ang bruha kaya ginawa na lang sya naming Mama-San. Kaya Mama O na ang tawag sa kanya mula noon.

In the early months of our second year, si yours trulala na lang ang sumusulat. Naging busy ang Ekra at Kelly sa ewan. Nawalan na ng ganang mag-post. So dapat, maging solo na ketch as advised by fellow bloggers Kiks and Jericho. Kaya ang LTE ay naging The Lyka Bergen Show na.

Pero in fairy ness, Love ko ang aking mga step-sisters and dapat part sila sa 2nd Anniverary special na toh! Kaya changed ang name ng Blog na to from now on to Lyka Bergen and her Stepsisters. Pwera na yung "wicked' dahil given na yun. Chos! Bitchy stepsisters na lang. Mas bagay. At tsaka meron pa! May bago kaming step-sister. Baby stepsister ang tawag sa bruha. Her name is..... Jezebel Patel. New adopted daughter ng Mama O from Agra, India. (Idol kasi ni Mama si Angelina Jolie. Jeze, sister, welcome!

This is Las Tres Estrellas Redux. Ang pagbabalik ng samahang stariray! May the force be with you all!

Lyka Bergen and Mama O say Thank You! (Ayan lumabas na ang tunay na anyo ng mga middle-aged badings! Pwera ke Ekra, na di pa raw ready magpakita ng mukha. 24 hrs lang ang life-span ng pictures na toh. It will self-destruct tomorrow. Vavoooo!).
Note: Tapos na. Naiba na ang pic. sorry sa di nakaabot! Tse!

The Day Jeffrey Dahmer Ate Pat

I was at the 1st Pinoy gay bloggers conference (chat) last night. Magulo ng una pero naging organized naman eventually. Voted facilitator si Gibo of Penang, Malaysia. This, dahil sya ang pinaka matanda. Ching!

Bongga ang list of attendees. Kawadjan of Bangkok, Fuchsiaboy of Cambodia, Kiks and Jericho of Hong Kong, at Bananas of Davao. Bukuhan special. Okrayan here and Landian there. Sapawan ng kani-kanilang kwento. Especially Bananas na mega talkative. Nasobrahan ata ng Rice Wine sa lobby. Inis naman ako dahil super fucked up and internet connection ko. Di tuloy ako makahabol sa kwentuhan. Ang topic? Si Pat at iba pang hot Pinoy gay bloggers sa buong mundo. Oh davu? Chisms toh!

If you want to join our next Pinoy Gay Bloggers Conference (chat). Invite nyo lang ako sa YM ninyo (lykabergen@yahoo.com). Wala pa namang specific date pero kung meron man sa susunod na mag-organize at kasama ako, ill try let you in through my account. O di ba? The more Demi Moore, the ugly betty-er! Mabuhay ang Pinoy Gay Bloggers! Tse! sa inyong lahat!

LTE Runway Result

Project Runway: LTE Season 1 Result:

Winner:
Jezebel Patel (63 points)

2nd Place (tie):
Ekra Tan (34 points)
Lyka Begen (34 points)

Third Place:
Mama O (31 points)

Voting has ended. Gibo concluded the voting count. Jezebel Patel is the clear winner. Nilampaso kaming tatlo. Thank you sa mga lecheng Judges. Chos! (Kung di sana sa votes ni Gibo, second sana ako. Tse!)

The truth behind the scenes:
Over sina Mama O at Jezebel sa budget. $36 and $31 respectively. Ekra spent $16 for her fabrics. At ako? $13. Jezebel didnt use any bed sheets or curtains for extra fabrics in her collection (the original concept of Project Runway: LTE). The rest incorporated those.

The duvet that i used for my Wedding Dress which Rik32Miles thought was cheap-looking was all but a challenge to my aesthetics. ... I mean, Jake's aesthetics. He was the one who designed it for me. It got mixed reviews. As in extreme reviews. Either you will love it or hate it.

Mama O's short dresses stood out according to Kiks, but it didnt help her in owning the runway. Ekra's Gray dress was a winner. I personally liked it too. I bet it won Best Design overall. But it was Jezebel's Geisha Ballerina opening look that set the winning mood. The blueprint and the progression of her creations were such a kick-ass. Everybody thought her craft deserves the win. All but Kawadjan (who chose Ekra as winner), Yajnat (who chose me) and Mac_rom_t84 (for Mama O).

The after-thoughts:
Mama O thinks her muscled legs ruined her entire collection. Ekra thought she's going to get good reviews from Fuchsiaboy but instead, got thumbs down from the designer. But she still is faithful in her work. She said she knows her art, execute it and enjoy the outcome herself. Praises from others are just icing on the cake and negative feedback for improvement. Jezebel was just happy for all your support. I am glad to see her smiles back. And for me, I enjoyed editing the video show as much as designing and parading my collection on the runway. Doble-saya for me!

Thank you all for the support. I hope you enjoyed the show.

Again, congratulations to Jezebel Patel for winning Season 1 of Project Runway: LTE. And ladies, Watch out for Season 2 before the month ends. Handog namin sa inyong lahat as part of this blog's 2nd Anniversary. Tenkya and Vavoooo!

Clap! Clap! Clap! Bravo! Wagi! Potah, ano ba yun? Tse!

Now, be the Judge. Rate the designers from Winner to 4th place. Remember this is not ANTM. We are looking for the Best Designer, not the Top Model (We know naman kung sino ang wagi dyan, noh? Hello? Insecure-mode itoh!). This is all about creativity, style, cohesiveness, and panache. This is not who you know, dahil pang Job Fair lang yan.

The more honest your opinions are, the more we appreciate it. Lait na kung lait, mga bakla! We are all ready for those because Fashion Has No Mercy.

Auf Wiedersehen. Ingat!

(Note: Judging should be 1st to 4th for if not, your vote wont be considered as valid. We would also lyk to know which design from all the creations presented you think is the best.. and worst. Tenkya!)

TiTi Winner: July 2008

Welcome to our 23rd monthly TiTi, LBS' best comment award. Once again, one bading will own and bring home a TiTi tonight.

I am so glad everybody came. I see a lot of Titis everywhere ha. In fact, I just held one backstage kanina. Chos! But there is nothing compared to our very own Crystal TiTi Trophy. Maraming syang pinasaya. Maraming pinaligaya.... Uh-hmmm... excuse me lang po, di ako makapag- concentrate sa speech na to dahil sa green leafy veggie - gown ng Mandaya Moore-Orlis sa front koh. Kalokah! Tita Mands, how are you? How's your three TiTis? Pinupunas punasan mo pa rin ba?

Anyways, lets proceed. Mahirap ang month na to dahil may nag-tie. All of the votes were already counted except for Mama O. Thus, it was her to break the tie. So here's the result.

And the TiTi for July 2008 goes to..........

The Winning comment:
(Pat on Love At First Sight)
"Tigas at first sight. That's what I believe in".

Congratulations Pat! Ang gwapo mo. Tinigasan at first sight talaga ako sa yo! Come up na here to receive your TiTi and do make J.D. Salinger proud. You are not a Caulfield for nothing. But please, limit the profanity in your acceptance speech. Viva!

This is Pat's first TiTi. He won not because na tinigasan ako. Nanalo sya dahil sa mga votes ninyo. Pat, Pare! Sorry at nilagay ko ang photo mo dito without your permission. Just let me know kung ayaw mo at delete natin. Okay ba, Pare?

Official Result:
Pat: 38 Points
Kiks: 37 Points
Black Mamba: 22 Points

Again, congrats to you Pat. May you enjoy the shiny shimmering TiTi forever and ever, Amen.

"I don’t know where this idea is supposed to go. It’s that thing when someone wants so much to make kwento about he got to be gay, but then he gets so excited about the narrative that he suddenly stops. This is that". - Pat, from his blog, Pat Sessions

TiTi Nominees: July 2008

This is the last TiTi (Best Comment) Award for the LBS's Year 2007-2008.

Today starts our month-long celebration. This blog turns 2 this Month. Yehey! (Kunwari masaya na. Tse!)

But before the Grand Titi Award for the Year 2007-2008, let us complete the year with the July 2008 TiTi nominees. And so here they are......

I didnt expect that the post Gay Loom can excite interest among Pinoy Gay Blog readers. I thought that Christianity versus Being Gay is just my personal soup to waste. But with all the reactions made, Gay Spirituality has become more ambiguous to me.

But there were really memorable lines that casted the beam. So here they are... our July 2008 TiTi nominees. The same subject, the same issue, different perspective. Starting with.....


Yffar

"For I know that God is a very loving father, and he created me this way, so why question it? I dont need a crappy religion to dictate what I should be".

Lyka says: Oo nga naman. Bakit ba God created you that way? Kalokah!

Kiks

"Remember it was men who wrote the Bible. And for centuries, its meaning has been interpreted and used differently - either to empower or to suppress. We, gays and everyone who knows its liberating powers,... use it to emancipate".

Lyka says: Si Mariah ata ang God mo, Bakla! Emacipation ka dyan.

Yajnat

"Religion guides our actions and even creates violence".

Lyka says: Ang ganda ni Yajnat sa picture! Very Miss Trinidad and Tobago. Pero take note: Pang Miss India ang sagot! Tse!

Black Mamba

"I was in a (live-in) gay relationship with another girl for more than 3 years before I met my husband. My family and friends literally disowned me. At the time, I used to care hell a lot more about what other people thought about me. And that made me very unhappy...... After realizing that NO ONE has the right to judge or criticize my choice, I started ignoring what others had to say about me. No verdict should be passed - not by the church, not by society, and definitely not by yourself..... Mabuhay ang third sex!"

Lyka says: This is the bravest comment ever made in this blog. It simply shows that Black Mamba really doesnt care of what you say or what her family and friends will say. Ang ganda mo Ineng! Wa ko say!

mac_rom_t84

"If God has made us all different, why would He want us to be all the same?"

Lyka says: Ay malay ko. Ask God. Chos!.... But seriously, i dunno. Maybe He wants to test us?... It would be a boring world if we are all the same. Wiz entertainment value.

We're supposed to have only 5 nominees but the comment below is too deserving to be included. His comment doesnt say anything about God, or the Bible but it says of what he believes in. Here he is, our sixth nominee......

Pat
in Love At First Sight

"Tigas at first sight. That's what I believe in".

Lyka says: Pat is not included because he is cute. He's included because tinigasan ako at first sight. Chooooos!

-----O-----

Pls vote for your Top Three sa comment section. Your votes plus the LTE votes decide the winner. Good Luck girls!
