I have to admit that like most Pinoys, I've toyed with the idea of leaving this seemingly godforsaken country. But the desperation is not so great as to make me make the Big Move yet. My friends argue that you could work day and night and not own a house in RP whereas you could easily own a car and other comforts in a country like America. However, I think there are things here which I wouldn't exchange for any other nirvana in the world. For instance, I wouldn't trade our glorious weather and the infectious laughter of our people for any of those high-tech appliances ... Continue Reading...
Men Loving Other Men
(Author's Note: I have gazillions of published articles and have kept about half of them. I thought this old article was interesting enough to be recopied in this blog, in the light of my recent post on 'Brokeback Mountain' and the subject of sexuality.

Seafood overload & time out with a dear girl friend
with eileen Been euphoric the past few days because I've had bonding sessions with a person dear to me. I consider Eileen one of my 'bestest' friends but unfortunately I only get to see her every few years since she's now based in the US with her good-looking pilot husband.

I hope I can still look as good as you when am already 44!" ... Continue Reading...
