Manila Gay Guy

It’s Tuesday afternoon and my 0.75HP room airconditioner is working like a full horse. It’s quite hot outside, and I can only thank Panasonic (my aircon brand) and Meralco for making me feel cool and comfy inside my room. I thought of sharing just a few tidbits today — anything I pick up here and there while hopping from one blog to another. Perhaps you can share yours too, as I assume most of you do your own merry bloghopping as well. As you may have long noticed, this blog has more content contributed by others (mostly through comments, submitted letters, and featured photos) than by the blogger himself, so feel free to comment away. Here goes my list:

1. The Dan and Rye Show is back! After a long, 7-month hiatus, my favorite blogging duo is back with their funny and invigorating podcasts! Welcome back dear Dan and Rye!

2. I’ve always been a fan of Miong. Hindi pa uso ang blogging noon, this guy has been publishing content online specifically targetting the Filipino gay community. Salamat ng marami, Miong! And guess who Miong’s favorite guy personality now? Walang iba kung hindi ang Sole Pinoy Survivor — JC Tiuseco. Tsalap!

3. Hindi na bago sa akin bilang blogger ang salitang backstabbing, especially after naively getting into this blogging thing, and having experienced the worst character assassination I could imagine happening to a nobody like me. But look, look, this Chinese blogger suffered a literal backstabbing last February! Headlines splashed: Chinese Blogger Stabbed in Beijing. Susko, naluma ang mga emo-emo-hang backstabbing sa aming mga baklang bloggers. Tunay ngang dumanak ang dugo sa isang ito. Ipagdasal natin na sana ay mas isapuso ng lahat ang tunay na diwa ng kapayapaan.

4. I received a text message from Raffy, one of the organizers of the Rainbow Bloggers Philippines (RBP), congratulating my ManilaGayGuy blog for being voted as the first RBP Blog of the Week. Antaray! Salamat mga kapatid! Pero sa totoo lang, mas gusto ko sanang manalo si Jay Vee (author of Sekreto Kong Malupit and MGG letter sender) kasi ang exciting ng mga kuwento niya sa blog niya. Congrats na rin sa ibang kandidata (kandidata daw oh!) na sina Okrayero, Truevali, at Joms Mugenblue. Mabuhay ang mga bading bloggers of the world!

5. Special feature din pala ang ManilaGayGuy sa blog ng napakasikat na si Brian Gorrell. Sabi pa niya, “Manila Gay Guy blog. He’s been on my bent culture link list for a while now and the response has been fantastic. People just LOVE his blog. MGG blog is hands down my favorite ‘bent’ blog in cyber space. I LOVE the guy responsible for it. So clever.” Thank you, Brian!

6. EXTENDED! Two great shows are having their extended runs. (a) Zsazsa Zaturnnah Ze Muzikal’s 7th run is extended and can be seen again on March 6, 7, and 8. (b) BARE, Ateneo Blue Repertory’s rock opera is extended too, and can be seen on March 3-7, at 8 PM. Get your tickets by contacting them here. (If you get the chance to see Bare, tell Bibo, the actor who plays Peter, he’s such a talented guy. I love his singing voice!)

7. Lastly, I saw a very intimate staging of Bent – To Heat You Up and Cool You Down by the Sipat Lawin Ensemble. It’s 2 short plays in one. Bent is gay, while To Heat You Up and Cool You Down is lesbian. Bent moved me to tears, grabe. If you hear that they’re staging it again, and you have a chance to go — go grab it. Great acting, and really, really touching story.
