Manila Gay Guy

Here’s a series of letters I received from someone who calls himself “ILoveAlec” a Pinoy gay guy in Malaysia.

Hi Migs,

I’m a big fan of your site. I always read whatever you put there. I’m the guy that hates drama hehehehe. I’ve been wanting to write you for the longest time but can’t find good story to share until yesterday Nov 8, 2008.

I’m currently in Malaysia for a short visit. Yesterday I went to see the Petronas out of curiosity because I’ve been hearing a lot of good words from people who see it and also from the movies. (more…)

Here I go again, my perfunctory trip to the US. I’m writing this post while waiting for my flight to Los Angeles, California. I was a bit emotional leaving the house kanina, knowing I’ll miss my partner during the 3 weeks that I will be away. Haaayyy… and so just as I finished packing my stuff this afternoon, I went bloghopping. I found a treasure of a song, just right for the moment — it’s Kirsten Dunst singing Dream of Me. Beautiful song! I dedicate this to my partner, Marco. Why am I writing this very personal post? Well, I figured it’s just right for me to declare my love to the person who I have been with for the past 6 months — too bad I’ll be away when we celebrate our 6th monthsary. Mahal, in front of the 40,000+ readers of my blog, here’s the song “Dream of Me,” and I dedicate it to you. Advanced happy monthsary! (more…)

Love can make the most logical and coherent of us bend and melt, leaving us a mangled, deformed blob. Is it right or wrong? Experience tells me that is not the right question — for love is given that power for a purpose. Love, just like fire which serves so many good purposes, can sear, scorch, and char. On that note, let me invite you to listen to this beautiful, beautiful song from the official soundtrack of the equally beautiful gay-themed movie “Shelter.”

Would you, in the name of pure and pristine love, share your house with your lover, and his wife?

Erine, fellow ka-MGG, is a nurse based in London. His lover of 7 years, Nevin, also works as a nurse in London and shares the same house as Erine. Nevin has a wife and kid back in the Philippines. Trouble starts when one day, Nevine suggests to bring his wife and kid to London, and create a triumvirate union out of Erine, the wife, and him. What do you think? Read Erine’s letter to get his side.

hi migs…

first of all i want to give credits sa blog mo for nice contents. im writing this letter bcoz lately medyo bothered ako and i think i need some sort of payo from u as well as for your avid readers.

im erine who works here in london as nurse and proud to be gay. my story starts when i met this guy who is my present ka-relasyon way back 7 yrs ago pa while i was on my holiday sa manila, lets just call him nevin. presently kasama ko na sya dto sa london works as nurse like me. i know i had a big part on his success sa buhay ksi the time na nkilala ko sya financially problematic sya kc ang lola nya lng nagpaparal sa knya that time, illegitimate child si nevin and wlang support tlga from his parents so ang lola nya ang nagpalaki sa knya. We start of being friends and sympre later on nagkaroon kmi ng relasyon more than friends. I know the fact na stop nga sya i offered him to continue pagaaral nya sa nursing course and willingly tinulungan ko sya kc he’s on 2nd year na nmn and syang. And alam ko din he has a bright future and sort of helping him pra maayos future nya. While i was abroad i supported him all the way sa studies nya till he graduated in 2004.

The notoriety of faggots has astonished the Philippine society to the point that through the years it has successfully secluded the gays – boxed them into harsh stereotypes. No wonder most gays would rather hide with the facade of straightness. And who could blame them? Look at that Babaylan flaunting his/her false womanhood. Look at that butch rug-muncher sitting at AS Steps grossly kissing her femme partner. Look at you. Look at me. Of course they’re disgusting! They’re deviants for God’s sake! And we don’t want to be deviant; we want to be straight like the rest of them.

Once upon a time, early on in my exploring days when I still had so much doubts, inhibitions, and hang-ups about myself and my sexuality, I had an Eyeball (EB). It was no ordinary EB. It was an EB in Boracay. It was an EB with a Boracay local. (more…)

On a flight from Manila to San Francisco, I saw a familiar face in the plane some rows away… after some time I recognized him. It was William Thio! I thought his Damayan stint on NBN Channel 4 was over until I chanced upon eavesdropping on him when we were disembarking. A chikadera flight attendant was chatting with him, and the conversation I overheard was something like this: (more…)

Does gayness define you?

I have been busy travelling the past days, all for my day job in the corporate world. The other side of being busy travelling is lots of idle time in airports and in airplanes; during those idle times my mind becomes extra-reflective, meaning I get to have the luxury of pondering on things I normally take for granted.

Out of the blue, this question popped in my head — does gayness define me? There are 2 ways I attack apparently difficult questions like this: by looking inside, and by looking outward. I looked outward first. (more…)

Poor Rep. Foley. In the chat transcript that follows you can see that he is just an ordinary horny gay man. The only thing is that he should have known better, that his actions are so inappropriate especially that he is dealing with underaged teens, plus the fact that chat transcripts can so easily be saved and published, just like this… (more…)

Due to the alignment of the stars and the planetary chorva, I again found myself hanging out at Greenbelt today. I watched Repertory Philippines’ The Boor and The Proposal, a pairing of two funny one-act Chekhovs. It is one of those “just okay” plays I’ve seen, and maybe the more notable and relevant thing to say is that I watched it with hordes of college students (required to watch by their professors, probably friends with the Repertory), peppered with some hunky, juicy, good looking ones!

After the play, while waiting for some friends to arrive, I checked out Coffee Bean — and yes, I think I’m obsessed — to see if Gepoy was there. Take note that this is my fourth straight day to be in Greenbelt, my fourth straight day trying to check out Coffee Bean to get a glimpse of Gepoy my fine looking cutey barista. (more…)
