i just got another blogpost published unfinished. my apologies.

been self-censoring myself lately (wanting to post certain things only to chicken out later) kaya heto: wala akong ma-post so I'd go with the usual flow of pink-blogs muna. hehehehe.

Taeyang


been surfing around for K-Pop lately (no, thanks to Sandara Park and their catchy 2NE1 songs) until I came across this hottie from Korean boyband, Big Bang.


i know he's just another RnB clone: he sounds (moves, and projects...) like Usher, Chris Brown, or Omarion (without the scandal, i hope); and, looks like Kris Lawrence with the cap on.


his biz name sounds quite funny to us Pinoys (he's Young Bae name sounds better) until I read that "taeyang" means "sun."



needless to say, the guy's hot. so enjoy the vid and drool:



pagselosan kaya ni jeje ang taenang'yan? don't think so... confidence daw sya.

i'm groggy from lack of sleep. even now, i still could not believe it.

• an e-library of bestsellers, including complete sets of Harry Potter, Bourne, Tolkien;
• a library of political, philosophical and military books, literary masterpieces...
• poetry collections
• collection of "naruto" manga from chapter 1 downloaded for over two years
• up-to-date "atland" comics by nate piekos
• full series of "heroes" from season 1
• complete season 1 episodes of "fringe" given by a friend

all sorts of files i have kept all these years in an external hard drive, apparently lost.

• scanned copies of all certificates, including school diploma, employment certificates
• poems and short stories written as early as 1991 only a chosen few has ever seen or read
• own pictures collected for more than ten years including some taken exactly 28 years ago

the list is excruciatingly long. and these are only the things i remember. how could i have possibly lost it?

• files of all various organizations from 2003
• photos and videos of family, loved ones and past relationships
• a matrix of internet/email accounts complete with passwords
• a copy of a very incriminating video made five years ago where you appeared in

and then, the list gets juicier:

• some uncut "Indie" movies
• nude photos and "XXX" videos collected since 2001
• jeje's nude photos

just imagine the implications if some enterprising hack gets a hand on this.


should i start killing myself now?

ibat-ibang kamatayan ang bumulaga sa lolo ninyo nitong nakaraang araw na parang haller, ako na yata ang susunod.

kanina, ala-una ng madaling araw, nakatanggap ako ng text: 'patay na ang asawa ni Ka Pat'. makiramay daw kami. pinatay ko ang celfone at natulog ulit.

hindi ko naman kakilala 'yung asawa pero siempre, bilang kasama ni Ka Pat, awtomatik dapat ang sinserong pagpapaabot ng "condolences." in short, magpadala ng mensahe ng pakikiramay, maglikom ng abuloy, etc. wala namang problema dun. at ginawa ko naman ito, the moment na nagkaroon ako ng chance na mag-email.

kanina lang, nakatanggap ako ng tawag mula sa isang nakasave sa celfone ko as "txtmate." nagdalawang-isip ako na tanggapin ang call, hindi dahil dyahe makipag-phonepal kung nasa opisina, pero hindi ko talaga matandaan kung sino ito.

pero nabosesan ko naman sya kaagad: isa syang dalaga naandito malapit sa akin na inireto sa akin noon ni Ka Pat. matapos ang formalities (kumustahan, etc), tinanong ako tungkol kay KaPat.

sabi pa ni 'txtmate' na habang nagkukwento daw ito na patay na asawa nya: "para namang masaya pa sya."


nagpost pa din ako ng pakikiramay sa grupo: isang maiksing-maiksing mensahe nga lang na parang Twitter update.

tuloy, naisip kong magandang magtayo ng tindahan ng plasticware. dahil i'm sure, madami akong pwedeng-pwedeng i-display dun.

i thought i've had enough of SEBs (jerjeran) and i am few things more mature now with these realizations...

1. massage and sex is best enjoyed separately. for some, sex after massage may the best therapy for a tired body.

but parttime masseurs i became close friends with told me "not to book a masseur, if you only needed 'sex'". kasi daw either the massage or the sex part would suffer. papagudin mo sya sa kamamasahe, so hindi na sya mag-eenjoy sa sex part. kung mauna naman ang sex, pagod na sya before ka imasahe, ikaw naman ang hindi mag-eenjoy.

2. hindi lahat ng nagsasabing "masarap ka," gusto kang maka-sex. need i say more?

3. it is not rude to refuse. you dont have to go to bed with just about anybody you meet or anyone who asks, so why force yourself just for the heck of it? or, nahihiya ka.

if you don't like what you've seen, heard or felt, ask the guy to join you in praying the rosary instead (no kidding!). or if you're in HK, ask him to go with you to Volume.

4. things you should not forget: an extra underwear, lube, condom, toothbrush, and extra money hidden inside your shoes. the first three are common must-haves. but i hate kissing men who reeks of pizza or dinner, so i'd politely ask him "if he wanted to brush his teeth" (now you know why i always have a stock of them in my desk, jejejeje).

also, i remember meeting one who asked me for pamasahe and i ended up having to call my mom so we'd both have enough money going home.

worse is when you'd meet a thief who'd run away with your belongings (fortunately, this never happened to me, yet). worst if ma-Chito Sequerra (SLN) ka. yaikks!

5. you dont have to say "i love you" on the first date. naman. i really hate people who do this, the same way i dislike people who'd message you on friendster and chat then think you are already lovers after a few exchanges.

6. you're not supposed to wipe your face after makipaglaplapan (torrid kissing). "its impolite," sabi daw ni emo kay echo (kwento lang naman ni echo sa akin).

somebody told me this before and i could not disagree with emo more. but then again, i hate it when i'm dripping saliva so i wipe it very, very discreetly on the bedsheet.

7. "milk" is always meant to be swallowed. sayang naman kung itatapon. 'chos.

8. not all you do for him would be reciprocated. it is always better to ask him if he gives head first, so you won't expect that he'd reciprocate. if he doesn't, its better not to give your 100% best performance so he'd not ask you out again.

9. receiving is way, way better than giving head. get real. giving being better than receiving only works at Values subject in school, or in religious yadda.

10. just because he says 'i love you' while doing it, does not mean you have to say 'i love you too' in return. especially if you know in your heart, its all bull. cmon, be honest and tell him that its all for sex (libog lang!). you'd hurt him more by leading him on.

the most memorable part of my recent vacation was Pagudpud.

we only reached Saud beach which is nearer to town than the Blue Lagoon (which I heard is better).


just the same, its still enjoyable. the beach is never crowded and the general mood is rustic and laidback, with plenty of nearby areas for sightseeing and photoshoots (the Bangui windmills, the Cape Bojeador lighthouse, the various waterfalls).



and there is no nightlife! so as the sun sets, you can just sit back, drink your beer and doze yourself to heaven, especially after travelling that far (more than 12 hours from Manila).

with this guy around (jejejeje), you'd surely enjoy sightseeing.


the only drawback (aside from the getting there blues) is: you won't find any food or refreshments after the restaurants close at 8PM! so if you go there, make sure to stack up on beer, snacks, and food.

finally, pagudpud is best enjoyed for a few lazy days. but if you go there just to stay for a day and a night (tulad ng ginawa namin), good luck na lang.

pagud lang pud! as in...

PS. if you wish to visit, please get in touch with Ronald. an able guide, he can take you to the cheapest but not less comfy accomodations. the town has imposed a flat rate of PhP 600 on guided tours courtesy of the tricycle drivers. in any case, here's his photo and phone number ~ 09216769525.
