Manila Gay Guy

This morning my Dad was telling me how he lost his phone, yaddah, yaddah, yaddah, and I kinda knew where the story was leading to. Before he even finished, I was on my way to my room and removing the SIM cards from my recently purchased My Phone T22 Duo. Packed up, charged up, here Dad, enjoy. I was smiling. Why? Because aside from being the good son that I am, I was actually itching to get myself another new phone. So on my way back home from work, I detoured to the mall and snagged a shiny new mobile, this time I went branded, and got myself this handsome Samsung Soul B. Oh GAS! (translated: Gadget Acquisition Syndrome) I’m so loving this new phone!

I’m an impulsive buyer, I admit it. Take this for example: I was meaning to buy one of those UMPCs (Ultra-Mobile PCs, those super cheap laptops), justifying to myself that it’s sub-20k (read: dirt cheap for a laptop), and very handy, very mobile, so I can blog anywhere I want. I shopped around, canvassed, and went home with a MacBook. Hahaha!

Then this other example: I was waiting for a friend at Festival SuperMall one day when I chanced upon this shiny new black cellphone: My Phone T22 Duo. The attraction was about it being Dual SIM — both active at the same time! I thought, it’s a great buy (less than 10k), and I can have 2 SIM cards active at the same time without lugging around 2 separate cellphones. In short, I bought one and I’m using it right this moment.

How do I find it? Is it a worthy buy? Do I recommend you gay gadgeteers to follow my example? (Haha!) Read on.

I’m writing this on a great early Monday morning — and because to think is to create — what a beautiful week ahead! Here are some quick shorts I thought I’d share here.

1. Cinderella — Lea’s back on stage, essaying no less than the fantabulous character Cinderella. I’m watching towards its run’s tailend, and I’d say theater enthusiasts here should watch too. If you are indeed planning to watch (or have already done so), why don’t you join this pa-contest? It will give you a chance to be read by no-less than Miss Lea Salonga herself, with bonus USD$100 if you get picked as the top winner! Go na!

2. I am amazed by the reach of this blog. In three totally unrelated instances the past week, I was surprised to find out how this blog has reached places and people’s consciousness I’ve never thought possible. One of these was in a party somewhere high up there and posh in Makati, this girl friend (who didn’t know I was MGG’s author) started talking about blogs. I was just listening, feigning indifference. Then she segued to gay blogs. Ohhh was I listening very intently. Then suddenly she said, “Gay blogs? Top of mind, Manila Gay Guy… my gay friends and I check it out regularly and ogle at those featured men!” (And I thought my blog’s differentiator was its wide spectrum — posts ranging from banal to intellectual… eh yung mga lalake lang pala tinitingnan nila! Hahaha!)

3. As I’ve said, MGG is celebrating its 2nd anniversary on the 28th. I was thinking of changing the look of this site, para maiba naman. Anyone out there who can help me do a Wordpress theme renovation? Give me a holler!

4. Online orders have been pouring in for the 2nd edition of Climax magazine — more than 50 orders have been received here at MGG (from all over the globe, take note!) I’m inundated with processing the orders and I’ve actually asked someone to help me out especially with the payment processing and shipping. Karir pala itu! I have only a limited copies so we shall process shipping in the order the payment is received. All who have placed orders, let’s just communicate through email.

5. With this post I’m welcoming my shiny new MacBook to my blogging world — hay, sarap ng may bagong gadget! Hehehe! Next na pag-ipunan, ang bagong iPhone 3G from Globe!

Have a great week everyone! And don’t forget — WORLD PEACE!

Everybody gets those annoying phone calls. The kind where you sigh heavily, roll your eyes, and make those annoying “blah-blah” hand gestures like some demented muppet that won’t shut up… Believe me, most of us get those calls, too. I feel your pain. Luckily, we have an awesome solution. (more…)

Forget what you know about gays always buying the latest fashions. A recent study shows it’s their desire for the latest gadgets that really defines their spending habits. According to Simmons Market Research Bureau, gays and lesbians are more likely than most adults to have the latest gadgets that technology has to offer and will usually buy them regardless of cost. And why Apple? Because they are the only company that produces consistently sleek, cool, and most of all, FABULOUS, gadgets!

This music gadget comes super cheap at $79 (roughly Php4 thou) — an art piece, super small, and as in any Apple gadget, oozing with coolness. I want one! (Fresh off from Apple’s plants, introduced on September 12, 2006 in San Francisco, California, USA. From apple.com: Apple today introduced the new iPod shuffle, now the world’s smallest digital music player. Nearly half the size of the original, the new iPod shuffle measures just half a cubic inch in volume, weighs just half an ounce and features a stunning all-new aluminum design and a built-in clip, which makes it the most wearable iPod ever.)

Boy Abunda in Top&Bottom Shop

Have you been to the “Top and Bottom” shop in Malate? It’s a gay-owned, gay-operated, gay-themed premier shop for Manila’s fabulous people (us!). They have a fine selection of clothes, accessories, gadgets (ehem, ehem, gadgets, take note! LOL!), etcetera, specifically selected for the gay taste so it’s easy to pick and choose! By the way, I heard that another round of new and hip set of clothing comes to the store this week, so go and have a shopping spree!

Male model on the left is also Top&Bottom’s sales assistant — really cute, I must say! Reason enough to go!

Top&Bottom is located at the corner of Orosa and Nakpil, in Malate.
