Because you are human… just because of the simple fact that you are human, you find yourself heir to an inherent unsatisfactoriness in life which simply will not go away. You can suppress it from your awareness for a time. You can distract yourself for hours on end, but it always comes back–usually when you least expect it. All of a sudden, seemingly out of the blue, you sit up, take stock, and realize your actual situation in life.

There you are, and you suddenly realize that you are spending your whole life just barely getting by. You keep up a good front. You manage to make ends meet somehow and look OK from the outside. But those periods of desperation, those times when you feel everything caving in on you, you keep those to yourself. You are a mess. And you know it. But you hide it beautifully. Meanwhile, way down under all that you just know there has got be some other way to live, some better way to look at the world, some way to touch life more fully. You click into it by chance now and then. You get a good job. You fall in love. You win the game. and for a while, things are different. Life takes on a richness and clarity that makes all the bad times and humdrum fade away. The whole texture of your experience changes and you say to yourself, “OK, now I’ve made it; now I will be happy”. But then that fades, too, like smoke in the wind. You are left with just a memory. That and a vague awareness that something is wrong. [Source]

Do you resonate with this? What do you think? How do you cope?

Recently, there have been only a handful of Pinoy-produced musicals that get raves like this one. And it’s having a special show on Nov. 21. I’ll still be in the US then so I wouldn’t be able to watch, but for those who are lucky enough to be in Manila, go catch it! Go!

PETA’s Si Juan Tamad, Ang Diyablo at ang Limang Milyong Boto has special performances on November 21, 2:30 and 7:30 p.m., at the PETA Theater Center. Call 7256244 for details.

You got it right, you are still here at Manila Gay Guy. I just had to do some changes around here. My web host is again doing funny things. I am doing an experimental work-around by changing the theme. Will observe if this will make the anomalous downtimes go away. My apologies.

I think this letter/story is quite touching, so I’m featuring it here. “Skye” thanks for sharing!

hi migs,

with the consecutive typhoons hitting our country people started to dread the rain. rain shouldn’t be feared nor rejected. the rain itself is not the root cause of our problems. we badly need better drainage and better waste management. i sure hope i don’t sound insensitive and selfish when i say that i love the rain. (i said rain and not typhoons.)

the rain has always been a friend of mine. it has brought me many wonderful memories. i would like to share with you one of them. migs, have you ever felt love slip right out of your hands.. like it was incredibly close that you could touch it, grab it.. but then you somehow lost the chance to do so? this is exactly how i felt with this person.

Here’s the much-awaited conclusion of the latest podcast where we had 2 gay guys (Sam and Johnny) sharing their heterosexual relationships. In this part, the conclusion, we tackle their plans on how to move forward with this peculiar, peculiar situation. Listen in and enjoy (especially the words of wisdom from our intelligent/funny peanut gallery members)! (more…)

Nakakatuwa ang mga bagay na di inaasahan. O kaya, yung mga bagay na nawala na sa isip mo, pero sa hindi inaasahang pagkakakataon, ay bubulaga at titimbuwang sa harapan mo. Magkakahalong kaba, tuwa, kilig, at kung anu-ano pang pakiramdam ang sasanib sa iyo. Ito yung mga bagay na walang kasiguraduhan ngunit alam mong kaya mong sumugal at makipagsapalaran. Dahil kung sakaling suwertihin, kung sakaling mangitian ng mabuting kapalaran, tipo bang tumama ka sa ka-lotto-lottohang lotto ng buhay.

We are all connected. Joined together by an invisible thread, infinite in its potential and fragile in its design. Yet while connected, we are also merely individuals. Empty vessels to be filled with infinite possibilities. An assortment of thoughts, beliefs. A collection of disjointed memories and experiences. Can I be me without this? Can you be you? And if this invisible thread that holds us together were to sever, to cease, what then? What would become of billions of lone, disconnected souls? Therein lies the great quest of our lives. To find. To connect. To hold on. For when our hearts are pure, and our thoughts in line, we are all truly one. Capable of repairing our fragile world, and creating a universe of infinite possibilities.

hi migs. i’ve read one of your posts…and the comments regarding bi married man having relationship with other man. i myself is married with 2 kids and is now in a relationship with an 18 yr old guy with a lot of gf’s… this is my first relationship with another man after 12 yrs of marriage..i am his first. It isnt easy for both of us…we argue a lot… because we dont know how to handle this kind of relationship. There are lots of risk for both of us. i dont want to destroy my family and jeopardize the future of my kids. and he doesn’t want to break his 5-yr relationship with one of his gf. But more than anything we are really best of friends and we don’t want to break the bond between us… we have separated a lot of times but we keep on coming back to save the relationship… sometimes i make the first move most of the time he would say sorry and try to win me back… ron
