Remember This?

We started blogging in August 2006. Walang magawa tonight kaya napag-basa ako ng mga earliest posts namin. After that, napa-punta ako sa mga earliest posts ninyo. Dyoskoh! Kakatuwa ang mga sinasabi ninyow! As in 2-3 years old na, very classic!

Remember this? (With some matching old pictures):

(I) Woke up disoriented this morning. I don't exactly remember my dream but it was something to do with some expected changes in my life. A friend told me that being in a comfortable and safe position in a person life can also mean mediocrity. And i don't want that. -Fuchsiaboy, January 16, 2006

I am happy to be out. But i must say, i am still dizzy from the hallucinating feeling of freedom. -KIKS, April 4, 2007

The legend is true afterall that fags of all shapes and sizes converge in Puerto (Galera) during the Holy Week break (which makes the whole affair far from "Holy"). I remarked to Joven that if and when a bomb or tsunami hit the beach during that time the entire gay population of Manila would be decimated. -Kawadjan, April 18, 2006

When I have a gloomy mind, I see all the misery and suffering in life and the ugliness of it all, but when I see the world with a happy heart, everything seems to be beautiful and sunny and bright. - Gayzha/Jase, October 26, 2005

Big_dick23 said he wants to eat banana. And not just a banana. He said he wants nothing else but my banana.- -Bananas, July, 2006

Maganda ang mga bakla: The couple of nights I've been out with some friends, I was kinda struck by the sheer beauty of gay people..... This may be a premature observation. I've been out of the closet for years but I never really went out of the room. - Jericho, January 3, 2008

Minsan, i just wish i don't wake up na lang. Don't u ever think of that sometimes? Weird noh, pero i really do.. Sana, I have the strength to get out of my bed na. Ang ingay ni Jennifer Hudson sa background! - Mel Beckham, March 29, 2008

Puta, Kolboy, Bugaw..... Snatcher, Holdaper, Kidnaper..... Kaskasero, Kurakot sa gobyerno, MMDA na di marunong magmaneho.... Polusyon sa tubig. Polusyon sa hangin. Polusyon sa isip ng tao..... Parlorista, Paminta, Sosyal, Pasosyal.... WELCOME TO MANILA! - YJ, October 18, 2008

Gawd, my posts suck. They're like, trash. No wonder why I don't get any comments. Well, I haven't been feeling right lately anyway, so whatever. -James, January 28, 2006

-----O-----

Tama si James. Our posts suck! CharooooT. Masarap balikan ang masarap na nakaraan. Mahirap nga lang kung ikaw ang babalikan ng chakang nakaraan. Kaines yun! So ayan. Mag Lovingly Yours, Helen na kayo (yung iba later na nag start, kaya Princess na!). Sulat lang ng sulat mga bakla! Gow!

Mr. Panda Bear

Happy Birthday Panda Bear!!!!


Here's to you......

Sartorialism

Yes we have na the book. 

The Sartorialist is blogger-photographer Scott Schuman's collection of photos documenting fashion from the streets of the most hip cities out there. Sabi nga ni Mario Testino: "(This is) the place to be seen". 

You can be a fashion statement yourslef. Get noticed. Be seen! Who knows, Mr Schuman is just around the corner. You dont have to be Heidi Klum, Johhny Depp or me! Choooos! 

Go lang ng go! 

Male ka man or Female

Androgynous or the Unknown

Young ka man or Old

Black (wearing white) or White (wearing black)

Si Kanye ka man or si Iman (chos!)

Go lang ng go mga bakla! But remember, dont try too hard. Just be yourself. Express the Lady Gaga in you! Your personal style might be in page 475 of the next book. Malay mooooh! Katulad ng Lola nyong ito. Napasama sa Sartorialista!

Win ang turban and the belt! Davu? 

Those were only 11 photos among the 500+ featured in the book. Go get one na mga bading! Tse!

But wait! Again, get caught with your own flair. Just like Jezebel Patel here na kararating lang from work @ 9 PM. Pictured not by Mr. Schuman but by yours trulala! (Sa loob nga lang ng bahay dahil madilim na sa labas). 

Kaye, Kaye, Kaye...  we bought this for you. But let us enjoy it first for a while. OK? The postman from Penang has not arrived yet pa naman, di ba? DHL from SF to Bangkok costs something din. Sana may LBC kayo dyan. Ching!

Black and White II: The Don aka Fuchsiaboy

by Lyka Bergen

To Whom It May Concern,

I dont get Ekra's take on The Don in Black and White (see previous post). Just like Jezebel on Kawadjan, I respond with disgust and a nauseous photographic malabsorption. I cannot stomach the angles, lighting, composition, and gosh, where is the Dramatics?

Remorse to the delight and praise Ekra is getting from such clueless public. What a shame!

Dont get me wrong, I am no professional photographer but the subject, Fuchsiaboy, looks more notable and high fashion in my photos. If you dont agree, you will never get a chance to spin the wheel to win! Tse!

To my beloved step-sister Ekra, I echo Jezebel's two wise words...... in English:

Madafa Ka!

Lovingly yours,

Lyka

----O----

Disclaimer: Chika lang!!!!! For competition sake lang ito. Para may scandal na bago. Love ko yang sister Ekra ko. Ching lang ang sulat above. Ano ba? Hello?

Anyways, here's my take on Project: Fuchsiaboy in Black and White.

"The Disordered Wall of Bi-Polarity"

"The Look of Silence"

"My Toes, My Knees.....

....... My Shoulder, My Neck!"

The Khan Look: Genghis and Kublai (pwede rin si Odette)

"Carry My Lovely"

More of Fuchsiaboy's Elements:

Gay, Bi-Curious, and Straight-Acting

Thanks Fuchsiaboy for your face & effort. Winner ka!

Ang sabi nga ng inggeterang Kawadjan: Nag sex raw ang Kapre at Nuno sa punso. Bottom ang Kapre.... and the product? The unique features of our precious Fuchsiaboy! Bravoooo!

Ang Kawayan... Bow!

EKRA ALERT!

One of the stars of the Thailand visit was Miss Independent, Miss Congeniality, Miss Photogenic, Miss Understood, Miss KAWADJAN!!!

Camera ready ang fotah as I took pics of her sa Reclining Buddha Temple and surrounding areas. Recline ako ng recline para lang makuha ang best angles ni Miss Tapia.  Bongga ang jawline at walang effort mag pout, therefore she is, as her blog announces.    

So without much further ado about this nothingness, here is something that can give Sugar and Nicole a run for their career.  Take note, walang wigelyas o make up ito.  Pure Beauty lang.  

Enjoy the pics!

Love,

Ekra

PRESENTING... THAILAND'S PRIDE & JOY!

One of my faves. Classic Kuh Ledesma daw.

Ba ewan ko, wala naman si Darna sa taas!

Uhm Hmmm!

The power of semi-pout lips.

Huwag po kuya.. Huwag po!

AND HERE'S MORE...

Ayan, kayo na ang humusga.  According to Fuchsiaboy, not fierce enough daw (may halong inggit).  At nang intriga pang may hidden desire daw ako kay Kawadjan.  Pati si Lyka may intrigang ganyan sa akin. Tseh!  Dahlings, she is just a force of nature, beautiful inside out.  Pero actually this is what she looked like when we first met:

Yes, skandalosa sia ng slight, parang naka kita ng ukay ukay ng Balenciaga at Marc Jacobs ang bruha.  Paano naman eh buong araw nia kasama ang kanyang nanay, na hanggang pwet ang haba ng hair.  Mana sa ina nga naman!

That's all mga bakels.  Sa uulitin... 

Ekra.

Thank You Glitters!

I'm almost too depleted to write but I had to let you know how much we appreciated all blogger friends who took part in our wonderful trip to Manila, Bangkok, Siem Reap, and Iloilo. We're still talking about what fun we had with you: The Lifestyle Asia shoots at Angkor Wat, The glass smashing at Bed Malate, The throwing up at Burger King -Silom (was it?), Judging Mr Paraiso 2009, etc.

To....

Empress Maruja: I hope we can have some more Mojitos next time so you can tell me more about your hadas from Batangas to Navotas!

Kiel: I got the shirt at Khao San. Exactly the same shirt you were wearing the day we met. Remember, the one I like? BTW, your gladiator shoes will be delivered to you by the designer himself. Regards to Papa!

Pat: Sayang. You know i wanted you that night. Chos! (So we can talk more. Yun lang. You were so quiet kasi. Where was Caufiled's profanity?)

Yajnat: Akala ko tuloy, matagal na tayong magkakilala. Ms. Friendship talaga ang beauty mo, 'day! So, may nangyari sa inyo ni Ekra? I wont go back with you to Bed na. I didnt know, iskandalosa ka pala! Tse! and thank you sa beaded purse. Binigay ko sya sa lola ko. Perfect sa mga mahjong sessions nya. Ching!

Mugen: Hello and Goodbye pala ang drama mo. Daig mo pa si Cinderella. Or baka may booking lang na naghihintay? But thanks for dropping by.

Yffar: Ipagpapatuloy ang laban ng mga bakla! (Regards to Oliver at ang tahimik nyang BF).

Wiberchie: I lyk your innocent smile ha! (With flipping ng bangs!) o di ba? Winner ka!

Mrs J: Mare! Usapang Showbiz and Fashion tayo ulit. Salamat dahil kahit working girl ka that night, attend ka pa rin ng FAMAS. As in naka Red Gown ka pa ha! Regards kay Ruffa!

Kawadjan: I wonder if there was no you and Bubbles in Bangkok. Baka nasa massage parlor (with happy ending) lang kami everyday ni Mama O kung wala kayo. Thank you for bearing the flag. We truly enjoyed BKK (the gay way) because of you. All those fascinating Soys and your sparkling personalities. Very truly Asia.

Fuchsiaboy: The Gold, Incense, and Myrrh were not enough as presents from the Three Queens to the Prima Don-na. Not only for the discounted hotel accommodation and services but also for the hospitality, effort and time that you gave us. The DP Necklaces and the Welcome dinner too. Our Lifestyle Asia's Cambodia photos will be out soon. Viva!

The Spool Artist: Salamat for the two nights of cocktails at Linga. Your Art is wicked. Together with Fuchsiaboy, you have both inspired us to live our creativity. Only you have to drive carefully next time! lol. Say hello to F. Palangga from LTE travel and Tours.  

Luis Batchoy: Gosh! Judging Mr Paraiso 2009 with you was an experience talaga. I thanks you! (sic). Contestant No 7 was sexy sa bikini and production number but super chaka ang talent ha. Natakot ako doon! Over-all, Nos 5 and 8 should have won. But si No. 6 pa? I heard dahil bagets sya. And BTW, naloka ako sa solo dance number mo! Talo mo ang Beyon-tse! Tse! 

Maui/Dawn: That was short, huh? Tinakot mo ang date ko sa mga English mo, Ning! Thanks for the San Mig Light. And next time dapat go lang ng go, bakla!

And of course...... 

Kelly: My dearest step-sister, Kelly. I know you were busy and congratulations on your promotion. I always enjoy your company because you listen... (to the song here in my heart... Charot!). I love you, Sis! Kiss Enzo for me! Mahaaaaay! 

To all of you, glitters, we so appreciate the hospitality. Anytime you are out our way, please don't hesitate to stop in and stay awhile!

(Sa experience na toh with fellow bloggers, Lyka decided not to die and continue to blog! Tse sa inyong lahat!)

Astro Boy

[picture deleted per request]

"Astro Boy"

Feb. 4, 2009

San Francisco

"There you go, Astro Boy! On your mission today! Here's the countdown and the blastoff! Everything is go Astro!...,"

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!)

The Rainbow Connection

Bakit Rainbow ang symbol ng Kabadingan? Bakit hindi Horse or Frog? Bakit hindi Sapatos or caricature ni Dorothy? Or di kaya Stars or, or.... or.... Dahon? Bakit Rainbow nga ba?

Dahil ba makulay tayo? Dahil siguro masiyahin tayo? Or di kaya "Hope" ang ibig sabihin nitoh? Or di kaya may Pot of Gold tayong idudulot sa mga Papa sa tabi tabi? Chos!

Siguro, dahil may iba't ibang klase ang pagiging bading. May Class, Subclass, Infra-class, (at wa Class). May Family, Genus, Species, and so on.

Sa buhay kong ito marami na rin akong nakilalang bading. At isa lang ang masasabi ko, hindi tayo lahat pareho. 

May bading na gustong maging babae at meron namang paminta. Merong nadiri sa sarili nyang titi at meron naman diring diri sa titi ng kapwa bading nya. Merong proud dahil bading sya at merong kinahihiya ito. Merong gustong maka-dyug, Straight lang at meron namang Straight-looking lang. Merong Topsina, merong Bottomista, at meron ding Versace. Meron na sex lang ang laman ng utak at meron ring 40 na at virgin pa, kahit tsupa di pa nakahada. Karamihan mahilig sa Fashion at meron ding baduy. Merong Pa-girl na deny to death pa rin ang kabadingan nya. Meron ding pa-butch na di bagay. T-Bird ang kalabasan nya. 

Meron din raw na Bi at meron ding Bye-Bye Titi via Surgery. Ipasok na rin ang mga curious chu-chu na nakailang dyug na sa kapwa lalaki, curious pa rin. Merong hate ang kapwang obviosang bading at meron ding wa paki. Merong mahilig kay Regine at meron naman Pa-Rock ang drama. Merong Beauty Contest addict at meron ding wiz kilala si Geraldine "Pebbles" Asis. Merong mataray at meron ding pa-demure. Merong scared at meron ding hindi scared. Merong naniniwala na sila ay pwede pang maging Straight at meron naman tanggap na bading sila straight to death. And so on... and on.

Kabadingan nga talagah! Ibat iba ang classification. Parang Halo Halo sa Chowking. May Saging, May Mais, May Ube, May Beans, May Leche Flan..... and as one.... MASARAP!

Kaya join na sa Rainbow Bloggers Philippines. A Group Blog of colorful Pinoy Gay Bloggers all over the world. Its a blog of our own where we can post anything under the Rainbow. It's also a directory of "Us". 

Ang sabi nga ni Kiks...... "Coz we are more than just Yellow Pages"  Tama ka Kiks! Di lang Yellow but Roy G. Biv tayo! Now Gooooooo and embrace Mr. Biv! Gooo Pinoy and say Tse! All together now!

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!

Fuchsiang Ina!

Fuchsiaboy started it. Echoed by Kawadjan. At ang yours trulala, di magpapatalo!

Fuchsiaboy: The original


Kawadjan's Version


Lyka Bergen's Third rate

O? Diva Vungga? Kalokah ang mga bakla. Gay as is GAY-a Gay-a. Fuchsiang Ina! Sino kaya ang susunod?

-----O-----

Scala and Kolacny Bros sounds cool. Check it out at Lyka's Song of the Week sa sidebar with their version of U2's With Or Without You.
