Fuck You All!

"Fuck You All!" by Lyka Bergen

A Jackson Pollack style painting attempt by yours trulala. It reminds me of how beautiful yet complex (my) Life is. Easy on the eye but tortuous Life that is. Why the Title? Wala lang. I can think of nothing good (today). 

You can do your own Pollack here. Move lang ng move! Click lang ng Click! You'll find striking results. Splendid! Tse!

Strange Unhappy Feeling

Once in a while, I will receive a text message from step-sister Ekra saying: "Happy ka ba?" This I will know that Ekra is thinking too much about Life again.  The texting will lead to a discussion of how to get out of this situation, the strange unhappy feeling that we often both undergo from time to time. Ekra thought its all about what he is doing now. His heart is not into it. But should doing things he love can really end his quest for happiness? Hmmmm......

Ekra loves to travel a lot. He's been to Brazil, Amsterdam, Hawaii, and recently, The Grand Canyon but I still keep on receiving those "Happy ka ba?" text messages up to now. I believe there is something more that he is looking for. Just like me, the strange unhappy feeling keeps on coming back. 

This morning I woke up with Mama O's loud music playing outside. The song, "Do You Know Where You're Going To", being played all over again. 

Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to?
Do you know?
Do you get what you're hoping for?
When you look behind you there's no open door
What are you hoping for?
Do you know?

I kept on trying to drop off a little bit, but the song annoyed me too much and so I decided to get up... with a frown. I remember Mama O's strange unhappy moment in a Korean Restaurant 2 days ago. Over a bibim bap, he said: "There something in Life ive been missing. I need to do something but i dunno what it is". 

----O----

I am writing this post because this strange unhappy feeling is haunting me more and more lately. It surprises me that I am not alone. Ekra and Mama O mirrored the mood. Now I thought, is it because of our age? Is mid 30's the time to reflect and re-assess Life? What do we lack? What are we looking for? 

Until I read Kiel's I Am Not Holly post. He captioned a line from the film Breakfast At Tiffany's and these are the words that hit me the most: 

"You’ve got no guts. You’re afraid to stick out your chin and say, "Ok, life’s a fact". People do fall in love. People do belong to each other. Because that’s the only chance anybody has for real happiness".

Pause. Natahimik ako. Ito ba ang kulang sa buhay naming tatlo? Ito ba ang hanap namin? Ito ba ang kaligayahan na hanap hanap namin? Leche! Napa-sisp tuloy ako. Is it Love the right medication to take for this strange unhappy feeling? Or is Love that triggers this affliction? 

Ang sabi nga ni Nina Nastasia in our Song of the Week (Check sidebar): 

"I dont believe in the Power of Love...... And I am not alone".  

Basta ang masabi ko lang: Tse! Sa may mga Jowa! Charot!

Leanne Marshall: More than a week ng diniclare ang Leanne as winner sa Project Runway pero fresh pa rin sa akin ang pagkapanalo nya. Paulit ulit ko kasing pinanood ang unedited runway show ng bruha sa youtube (click here to watch). Deserving naman talaga sya sa mga eleganteng pleats nya.  Kay Korto or sya, kahit sino sa kanila. Buti na lang at hindi ang malditang Kenley. 

Is it just me ba na talagang nabuang sa Music na ginamit ng Leanne sa finale? Hanap ng hanap ang Lyka kung ano man yun. Finally na-discover din. Its actually from her Musician BF, Nathan McKee. Ang title, Cookie Breath. Paulit ulit kong pinapakinggan ngayon, 3 days na! Listen here.  Photo Credit: Project Rungay

BoA: Ang bruhang Koreana. Pop Superstar ng Asia, i-conquer na ang America. Nakapag record deal ang BoA! Tinalo ang Charice! Eh syempre maganda. At di pa bilog ang mukha. Chos! 

Up Tempo Dance music kasi sya, kaya yun! They are going to do a digital version of her song  Eat You Up. (Listen to the orig version here).  Kahit di ko type ang music genre nya, sana successful sya. Bihira kasi ang mga Asyang sa larangan ng Western Pop Musika. Sana di sya matulad kay Coco Lee. Tsugi kaagad. Ma-BoA ang Koreanna! 

Ma-BoA!!!!!!

Jessica Alba as Hannibal Lecter. O di ba, maldita? Pa cry cry pa ang bruha! Effective ang campaign! Best Actress in a Picture ang Jessica. Declare Yourself! Register to Vote ang drama. Akala ko kasi early Halloween treat ito ng gagah. Di pala. 

Sa susunod na Philippine Election. Pwede ang campaign na to. Kukunin si Jessica as Hannibal. This time, si Jessica Soho na! Oh di ba mas bongga?

Lakshmi Menon: Gagah gagah! Taraaay ng gagah! Tse! Inggit lang ang Lyka sa Supermodel ng Bongga-lore! Ang skin kulay. Ang Kawadjan Lips. Ang body frame. At di mo malaman kung Espanola, African, Arabiana, Latina, Asyang or Amazona.  

This year, Lakshmi becomes the sole face of Hermes; Opens the fall Givenchy couture show in Paris; And closes the spring Ohne Titel show in New York; Appears in French Vogue Editorial, photographed by Mario Testino; Walks for Jean Paul Gaultier, Stella McCartney, and D&G; And recently featured as Top-ten newcomer of the Season by Style.Com...   Landi nya di ba? Tse! 

Ekra's Afro 

Thandie Newton as Condoleeza Rice. Nalokah naman ako dito. Look at the hair. The vivig! Di masyadong wagi. Mas pwede sya as one of the characters sa mga nobela ni Anne Rice. Or di kaya mag plant na lang sya ng Rice. 

But then again, knowing Thandie's acting capabilities (especially sa Crash), wag muna magsalita ng patapos. Panoorin na lang ang W ni Oliver Stone at saka na ang paghuhusga.

Odd Gay Couple

Kakatapos ko lang panoorin ang Italyanong pelikula na may pamagat na L' Imbalsamatore (The Embalmer) at may moral lesson din akong nakuha dito. Eto sya......

Ang straight ay para sa kapwa straight lang

At ang bading ay para sa kapwa bading lamang.

Yun na! When it comes to finding a partner, wag ng pilitin pa na ma- In Love ang mga Papang Straight sa atin at baka matulad tayo kay Peppino (ang bakla  sa pelikula na natsugi dahil sa pag-ibig). Di ba kalokah? IMO, tayo pa rin ang talo sa huli kung papasukin natin to. 

Remember ko tuloy ang kwentuhan namin ni Bananas. Ito kasing baklang to, may crush na super gwapo. Eh hindi nya raw alam kong papano landiin ang Papang gwapo. Isa lang ang advice ko sa kanya. Eto....... 

Ang maganda ay para sa maganda

Ang pangit ay sa pangit.

Natahimik ang bruha. Akala ko nagalit. Kaya dinagdagan ko na lang kaagad. Eto.....

Ang matatalino ay para sa matatalino rin

At ang mababaw ay sa mababaw lamang.

Kaya kung Matalino ka at Pangit, pwede mo maangkin ang Papang Gwapo. Ito'y kung sya ay matalino rin. 

Napa-agree ang Bananas. That means........ Pangit sya! Chos! (Mare, Jokla lang at wag magalit. Kasi... Ang mga mababait ay para sa mababait. At ang pikon ay Pangit!

Na-ikwento ko to kay Mama O. Iba naman ang comment ng bakla. Eto ang sabi nya..... 

Ang Mayamang baklang pangit ay para sa Papang gipit!

(Ano ba yan Mama O? Palitan yan dali! Palitan!)

Abangan...

Bored ang Lola  Ekra nio.

Some sketches I made a month ago, I found them today while scouring through papers and clutter in my room.

I guess we're coming up with Season 4 mga bakla.  Right Lyks?

ABANGAN...

Remember this?

Ang tataray diva?

Now, this!

Male models Marlon Texeira, Andres segura, Tyson Ballou, Marcus Schenkenberg, and Terron Wood for mag Hercules. Hmmm... No colors? Boring!

Eh wala kasi sya!

Nasa London kasi at nag ala Oprah. Umeksena sa Africa Rising Event. Shirtless! Wagi itong pinsan ni Obama!

River and Lake: The Conclusion

(Part of series. See previous entries below)

Chapter 6: Lake Asks Why

Silence in the Lake when River left. But not peaceful. The sound of the crickets chirping didnt bother him. He's thinking. What was that all about? He wanted to to know why River asked him that question. They dont talk about feelings. Never. And why now? When everybody is drunk. And after those alligator flirting. Why does River want to know if he likes him? 

Lake thinks its not because River likes him. It is because River is looking for assurance. The certainty that he is still as grand and upscale as his sister Amazon and beautiful and distinguished like his brother Nile. Is that what River wants to hear from him learning from the prattling ducks and the fanciful buffalos that he likes him? If he is right, pity is what he feels for River. But he could be wrong. He doesnt want to think and feel like this about his friend. That is why he needs to talk to River. 

Chapter 7:  Hush, River. Hush  

Lake thinks he need air. He went outside to get some. There he finds River lying sobering up. He didnt leave after all. He has no place for the night anyways. Lake lays next to him. River hugs him and put his head on Lake's chest. Lake extends his arms for him and ask him why he wanted to know if he likes him. And there Lake finds out the answer to the question that is bothering him tonight. 

River says: "It is because its nice to know that someone loves you. It is a nice feeling to be liked". Lake was absolutely right about River. He needs the assurance. Pity confirmed, he gives the worst response a friend can give to River. "Since you need the love you want, ill give that to you.... I Love you".  Lake meant it as a love for a friend but it was already received differently by River. "I knew it!" River responds smiling. Lake immediately regretted what he have just said. But he decided to leave it that way for now. He's going to talk more about this with River tomorrow. Tomorrow, when River sobers up. He just want River to sleep happy tonight. So hush now, River, hush..... until he hears his snore. 

Chapter 8: No Ripple. No Wave. 

Lake still next to River sleeping, thought of the fuck he just did. This will make River believe more of the thought of him liking River. He knows that he has no feelings for River but friendship. This hugging and embracing didnt not cause a ripple or a wave for him. It didnt cause a school of fish to get excited. It's all caring for a friend and making him feel good.

This good intention for his friend River should have not been demonstrated. He just realizes he is River's ego-booster. All the while, he is River's ego-booster. That is how River sees him. A guy who likes him. And that makes him feel good. It is OK to be an ego-booster to a friend but not this way. Oh no, not this way. Suddenly, Lake's gut feels uneasy. He feels nauseated. He leaves River sleeping outside. He goes back to his room and sleep with an upset stomach. He's definitely going to talk to River tomorrow.

The next day, Lake wakes up with an uneasy stomach still. He finds out River is no longer there. He left early. Lake didnt have the chance to talk to him. No chance to explain what he meant last night. Lake vomits.

Chapter 8: The Icy Wind Arrives

Days have passed. Silence. No paper boat messages sent from both sides. Meanwhile, the icy wind arrives. The friendship gets cold. The waters of the River and Lake.... frozen. 

- the end-

Epilogue: I am Lyka and I am Veronica Lake. 

River and Lake: Chapters 3 to 5

(See Chapters 1 and 2 below) 

Chapter 3: River and Lake Became Friends

Lake and River became friends. They will often meet and share thoughts about things they adore, which are usually alike. They share history of how they were formed, what they have conquered and who have conquered them. The joint wild flow of the River and the tranquil waters of the Lake is a chemistry to revere. For Lake, the fluidity is no longer romantic, it is pure friendship now. 

Lake's physical attraction with River on their first meeting was like Naomi venturing into acting..... It didnt last. Lake's fanciful romantic mind-set is no longer present. River becomes too familiar for him. It is no longer how River looks like now but it is how he is as a friend. There's never been any sexual tension on Lake's part. No emotional attachment. It was all Thelma driving with Louise for him. Lake is just happy having an outlet via the River. 

Chapter 4: Lake On River

River is often misunderstood. His depth can only be measured by diving into it. The deeper the dive, the deeper you will know him. The River is unstable. There are times that it can be turbulent and times, slow-flowing. Its current is unpredictable. Among neighboring bodies of water, only Lake can understand him. It would always be Lake who will defend him. 

Swimming can be fun on the River but drifting wood and floating debris can sometimes be harmful. Lake has learned how to avoid them by hanging out with River too much. It was never an issue for him. But the sensitivity. Yes,  River is sensitive. And Lake is too. They squabble because of this but the issue would always be resolved. Another thing is, is when the River overflows, where inhibitions gone by substance,  chaos and controversy take place. River cannot control himself to behave. Lake thinks he does this to feel better about himself. And Lake doesnt like it.

But despite all these, Lake thinks River is a good friend. 

Chapter 5: River of Revelations

River loves to flow around young and newly-formed lakes. Our Lake would often see River flirting around. And Lake would be happy for him whenever a young lake or brook or creek would respond. This is one of the ways how Lake realized that he's not that into River. Jealousy or Heartbreak never existed. 

One big party night, River is drunk. His flirting continues. There seems to be no one who responds. Lake went home early. Back to his solitude. It was calm until River opens the door, still drunk. Lake on the chair and River kneels in front of him. "Do you like me?" asks River. Lake smiles, "No". River asks again with a little force this time. "Do you like meee? I know and i am not ignorant. Your friends told me you like me". "I dont like you" responds Lake. "Even as a friend?" says River ... Lake is a little bit annoyed now. "Yes, I like you as a friend". River hugs Lake and says.. "I like you too.... as a friend". 

Lake thought the drama will end now but he was wrong. River didnt stop. He grabs Lake's arms and tell him: "Look at me in the eyes and I will ask you again.... Do you like me?" Lake looks at River's eyes and say... "No."  River gets up and turns to go fast without saying anything. He didnt hear Lake saying... "Wait!"

Itutuloy.......

River and Lake

Chapter 1: Lake

Lake is a kind of person who likes to build castles in the air. The serenity of his room is his own refuge. He fantasizes a lot about meeting this guy who will rescue him from his own wretched placidity. He dreams of a cool love possibility without action. An image of a brilliant moon on his waters. Awaiting discovery and without doing anything, he dreams and dream more. Lake is pathetic. Lake is a yawn. 

One fine day, Lake read about this River somewhere from the East Side. He sends him a paper boat to say hi. It happens that they are somehow connected though the WWW (wide water web). They both decide to meet. Lake, with his imaginative inclination, has been abstracted to the possibility that this is the guy he has been wishing for. He is hoping for an outlet. He agrees to meet this River. He is excited. 

Chapter 2: Lake Meets River

Lake arrives at the Theatre early, the place where they have agreed to meet. With Lake's fairy tale vision of meeting his Prince, all the creative juices from When Harry Met Sally and Pretty Woman combined, is at tow.

They didn't meet until the show ends. With paper boat messages, they both describe what they are wearing so to recognize each other. River sat on the end of the Theatre which is 4 rows above where Lake is sitting. With lights on now, Lake stands up and look towards River's spot. And there he is.... The River and his wave. 

"Hi I am River"... He is tall and cute and confident. Lake likes it. Lake finds him cool, exactly what he dreams for for a man. Their waters has merged by shaking each others hands. The ice on the Lake melts. 

Itutuloy.........

Happy Birthday Jezebel!

Happy Birthday to Ms. Jezebel Patel who turns 27 today!


Ang sabi nga ni Bill na tatay ni Chelsea, "When our memories outweigh our dreams, we have grown old". At ang masabi naman ni Ernesto (sa pic)... "Your pounds outweigh your dreams!" .... Chos!

Happy Birthday Jezebel!!! And sorry, overage ka na for Bb. Pilipinas! Tama na ang pa-cute. Dahil hindi ka cute. Beautiful ka! Its time for a change, girl! Vote for Obama! Ching!

Pangit

I felt bad kasi nalaman ko na may part two pa pala ang Gatas Ni Lyka (see previous story below). Di lang pala yun ang sinabi ni Butch. Di lang pala na gagamitin nya na lang muna ako dahil gipit sya. Sinabi nya rin pala na "Pangit" ako. I felt bad kasi bakit may mga kwentong ganon? Bakit may issue na ganito? As if niligawan at sinuyo ko ang Butch. Eh hinde eh! Sya nga yung text ng text sa akin. Ang masasabi ko lang.... Helloooooo? Philippine Airlines, How can I help you?

Ang Gatas Ni Lyka

Yesterday night when I was trying to sleep, i felt pretty odd. Di ko alam kung tatawa ako or magalit. Ito kasing si Jezebel may chismis sharing before matulog.  

The mermaid doesnt usually stay that late. Everytime na Mama O and I arrive from work, which is minutes before midnight, Jeze is already asleep. We dont share much time together since i wake up late in the morning, and she'll be already out and working at that time. 

But last night, sinugud ako sa kwarto. May Chism raw sya. She started by warning me not to get offended. Ano naman ito, I thought. Sila na ba ng crush ko? Eh wala naman akong crush sa ngayon. So all ears and medyo nervous ang Bergen sa isasabog ni Ms Patel. 

But before anything else, rewind muna tayo. A lot of months ago, may bitbit na mga friends si Jezebel sa bahay. Pinocchios (Pinoys). Sina Butch at Sissy (di tunay na pangalan). Sila ay mga twinkies ... Hmmmm actually, pa-twinkies. Maybe in their early twenties. Bading syempre! 

Si Butch ay pamhinta at si Sissy naman you know na. Masaya silang kasama. Naging close kaming lahat. Lalo na si Butch. Character sya! Galaw lalaki talaga at feeling gwapo sya at panay pa-cute ha. Pero in fairy ness, may fez naman sya, kahit medyo majubis at pandaka pygmea. Ang sabi pa nga nya, lahat raw ng mga kaibigan nya, babae man o lalaki, crush sya. O di ba character sya?

Sinasakyan namin ang kalokohan ni Butch. Lalo na ako. Everytime na may party sa bahay, invited sila ni Sissy. Interesting characters kasi sila. Everytime na magpa-cute si Butch, flirt back din ang Lyka. I am not sexuallly attracted or lalo na, emotionally attached kay Butch. Ako, game lang kung game, pero walang meaning ang lahat na yun para sa akin. Laro lang talaga. Kung may mangyari man, eh di good, eh kung wala, kebs! Masaya kasing mag flirt paminsan-minsan. But eventually, tinuring ko naman siyang kaibigan. 

A few months earlier, i received flirty text messages from Butch. Eh ang Lyka naman, flirts back din. SEB raw kami or something like that. At ako naman game. If i was that serious, talagang nagpakita na ako sa kanya at drive ko na ang bahay nya, pero hindi eh. I know he's just playing  this teasing game at ako ang kalaro nya sa larong ito. Kaya di ko sineryoso. Our teasing texts then turned into friendly ones naman. And it remained that way. I told Jezebel about this at no comment lang ang gagah.

And now, back to the chismis. Nag-usap raw ang Sissy at Jezebel last night at may revelation! Ask raw ang Sissy sa kanya kung nag te-text ba ang Butch sa akin. Jezebel confirmed it. At eto na nga. Sissy told her raw about Butch. Si Butch raw ay gipit ngayon. Kahit matulugan raw wala. Dami ng inutangan ang butch. At eto ang climax: Sinabi raw ni Butch kay Sissy: "Gagamitin ko na lang muna si Lyka!" 

Gosh! Ano ito? Kalokah! Wahahaha! feeling ko tuloy ako'y isang matandang bading na ginagatasan ng batang mhin! Siyet! Ganon na ba ang image ko? Di ko ma take tooooh!

I am not upset because of di pala ako type ni Butch at pera lang pala ang habol nya sa akin. I am upset because tinuring ko syang kaibigan. And at the same time, upset ako dahil gatasan pala ang tingin nya sa akin. 

Kaya di ko alam kung magalit ako or tawanan ang lahat na ito. Pero, mas more akong tumawa habang nakahiga bago matulog. But before that, nag-usap kami ni Mandaya Moore-Orlis. Sabi nya: "Eh di gamitin mo rin sya!" Isa lang ang masasabi ko, ayaw kong makipag-sex sa partner na di ako feel. Walang kwenta yun!

Ang ending, Minura-mura ni sister Jezebel ang Butch sa telepono at hindi na sya invited sa Birthday Bash ng Mermaid sa sabado. Wahahahaahah! At ang sabi ko naman, it really doesnt matter. I didnt lose anything. And lets give Butch the benefit of the doubt. But thank you, Jezebel dahil mahal mo ang ate mo. Viva!

At para kay Butch at Sissy..... Tse!

Dear Jericho

Dear Jericho,

I wish you were there to experience the awesomeness of it. The open arena of UC-Berkeley's Greek Theatre was full. People like you and me were just so excited to see and feel them, Live! This was my second time, but i was much excited like my first. 

It started with Parachutes from nowhere. The group of 9's opening act initiated the hallucinating mood machine. They sound absolutely like them. Gibberish too with the Jonsi vocals but less empyrean. Ekra thought it was the quartet playing already. It was a nice and appropriate kick off. But it was less piercing compared to my experience with Amiina opening for them in Cleveland years ago. (Listen to Parachutes here). 

Then, there was them. Svefn-G-Englar, the song that made them who they are now.  Marie smoke started to float everywhere like gossamer veils expelled from the lungs. I dont understand why people have to submit to drugs to enjoy the already-trippy sound of Sigur Ros. I dont buy it!  It's an insult to my favorite band ever. Chos!

Glosoli followed next. Then Hoppipolla, Ny Batteri to Saeglopur. I was glad they incorporated old tracks in this concert for I thought their recent album is not at par with their previous ones These were old tracks which my concert cronies (Mama O and Ekra, and maybe Jake) were much familiar with. 

But it was the last four of the setlist that made Zeus a bit emotional. In the middle of Inni Mer Syngur Vitleysyngur, the clouds were getting heavy.  That is how heartwarming it was. Then  Hafsol stirred the demi-gods a little bit more with Jonsi's emotional instrumetation. Then it started to rain during Gobbledigook, not from the Gods yet. It rained confetti all over. Amazing! It was a celebration of bliss. I thought I was somewhere nice. I thought I was back in my Mama's womb. Worries gone. For a moment. Regression. Amazing!

Then the Encore. Sigur Ros said, let there be rain, and there was rain. And we saw it, and it was good. Popplagio (The Pop Song) made Zeus cried happy tears. The rain couldn't have come at a better time. It added drama to the whole euphoria. Everybody went home wet with an awesome experience. Amazing!

You should watch them live, my beautiful Jericho! But am so sorry to let you know they're not scheduled to visit Hong Kong this year. The nearest you can get is Japan at the end of October. I really want you to see them live. Absolutely magical!

Your cute buddy,

Lyka B.

PS. Ini-inggit lang kita! Tse!

Yffar Blocks The Boobs

Yffar hindered Megan's chance to own her second TiTi. With his symbolic TiTi comment against her polychromatic one, the voters gave him 57 points, at odds with The Boob's 31. Kiel's acrid comment is Third, with 28 points.

Congratulations to Yffar for winning the September 2008 TiTi Award (LTE's Best Comment). His comment has full of TiTi written all over it, literally and figuratively. It explains why we should continue our own little TiTi Search. Because, everybody deserves his own "other" TiTi. Here is the winning comment:

"Kailangang manatiling matigas ang TiTi gaya ng paninindigan at opinyon ng mga mambabasa. Sa mga hindi pa nakakatikim ng TiTi, konting tiyaga, malalasahan nyo rin ang tagumpay. Sa mga nanalo, hawakan ng mahigpit ang TiTi. Baka maagaw yan sa inyo. Pangalagaan ninyo ang TiTi ipinagkaloob sa inyo. 

Ang TiTi ay huwag hayaang mawala, sapagka't marami ang mawawalan ng kaligayahan. Dapat laging nakatayo ang TiTi bilang tanglaw ng mga taong nais magbigay ng makabuluhang komentaryo. Ang TiTi ay nagbibigay buhay... Ang TiTi ang pag-asa... Mabuhay ang TiTi!! Mabuhay!!!"

You should have known Yffar by now for spearheading The Rainbow Bloggers Philippines. Or maybe from his narrative series "Larawan" and recently, "Rosas" from his blog, The Rainbow Halo-Halo. But I've known him in a different way,.... hating Cristina Aguilera crooning Beautiful every time I visit his blog. (because I dont have to be reminded that I am beautiful all the time. Chos!)

Congratulations Yffar and may you enjoy your TiTi!

To Megan, we dont intend to be sexist in this blog. "The Boobs" is such a positive byname here. If in any way we offended you, blame it to your cousin Mugen who started all this. Mabuhay ang Boobs!

And to Kiel, kelan tayo mag-date?

And that concludes our September 2008 TiTi. Tse sa inyong lahat! 

"Sinubukan kong mamuhay na parang tunay na lalaki. Sumasama ako sa tiyuhin ko sa ibang bayan para magkabit ng kable ng kuryente. Nagpipintura at nagkakarpentero din ako kasama ang aking tatay. Nagmahal din naman ako ng babae. Lahat iyon ay nagawa ko na. Nguni’t hindi pa rin ako nasiyahan. Hindi ako ito. Ibang mundo ang nais kong galawan…Ngayon….Masaya ako bilang ako". - Yffar

TITI Nominees: September 2008

Yeees! The TiTi is back!

After a month of pag-papahinga sa piling ni Pat (July 2008 TiTi Award Winner), time na ulit para maging active ito. 

Tinanong ko ang sarili ko, "Dapat pa bang ipagpapatuloy ang TiTi Awards? May relevance ba ito? May idudulot ba ito sa mambabasa? Sa Blog na toh?" I decided na sana to donate it na lang sya kay Gregorio F. Zaide or di kaya sa National Museum of the Philippines, until naka-chat ko si Gibo.

Sabi ni Gibo, huwag raw muna dahil hindi pa sya nakapag-TiTi. Kaya for my friend, Gibo..... Advance Happy Birthday! Chos!
