Hatton-De La Hoya: Match made in DreamLand

Monday, May 4, 2009



Taken from the Philippine Daily Inquirer:

"It was no Wonderland but Dreamland for Hatton, who stayed almost motionless on his back for a few minutes while being attended to by two ring physicians. He eventually got up on wobbly feet and left the ring assisted by his seconds.

As a precautionary measure, Hatton was taken to Valley Hospital, accompanied by members of his family and De La Hoya."

Apparently Hatton and De La Hoya's relationship is more than just both of them being knocked out and dominated by Manny (in De La Hoya's case it was TKO, but who cares?), and both of them being handled by Golden Boy Promotions.

Speaking of which, that quote explains a lot of things:

Well, these pics were supposedly proven fake. But a fag can dream. :P

The Randy Prince Philip

Tuesday, April 21, 2009

Most of the Disney Princesses – Aurora, Cinderella, Ariel, Belle, Pocahontas, Jasmine, and Snow White – always come with a matching dashing prince (although in Pocahontas’ case, she had a dashing young captain).

Out of all of these princes, Prince Philip has always been my ideal. Prince Charming (in Cinderella’s and Snow White’s case) was not only a two-timer; he also had no personality at all. Prince Eric was not my idea of what a prince was – he was dingy and liked to dress up in long white sleeved shirts and boots. Aladdin, although obviously acrobatic is really nothing more than an exhibitionist beggar who likes parading his body around (normally I would like this), but he has a rather huge nose. Honestly, I was turned on more by the Sultan’s guards! John Smith, aside from not being a prince, but rather a captain, has great hair, I can’t dispute that. But whenever I watch Pocahontas, I feel as if I’d rather be gang raped by the horny Indian Braves. Beast was a gigantic pussy. Which leads us back to Prince Philip – he not only has great fashion sense, he has a freakin’ lithe body – smooth, lean and hungry!

Yes, I had a crush on Prince Philip since I was 8 years old. I dreamed that he, along with Captain Planet and Wheeler and Dolph Lundgren and Jean-Claude Van Damme, would break into the confines of my large creepy house and take me away. (When I was this age, I thought all you did was kiss, and I did want to kiss Dolph and Jean-Claude’s muscles!)

Anyway, my younger sisters were watching the Disney Channel earlier this evening, when Sleeping Beauty was shown. It was during this viewing of the film that I realized the true character of my childhood crush – he was a regular rake, a Casanova, a horny bastard who not only charmed the ladies but wanted to take sexual advantage of them.

Let’s examine the situation: We have our young innocent maiden – raised in a forest by three odd aunts for 16 years – in TOTAL isolation lest the evil Maleficent hear about her. I doubt she has ever seen a man, nor talked to one. Then we have the worldly Philip, looking great on his steed, obviously an expert huntsman rushing by the forest to reach the Kingdom where he will meet his promised bride for the very first time. So what does he do along the way? Get side-tracked by some peasant-girl singing. And come on, telling a young innocent peasant lass, “Oh! But I met you, upon a dream!” and glibly taking her hand!? What a randy bastard!

Heck, even Maleficent wants a piece of him! I sure knew how to pick them as a kid! :P

Even David Beckham wants to be Prince Philip! To quote his wife, Victoria "David’s Package is Real. ... It is like a tractor exhaust pipe!"

Need I say more?

Out There

Monday, April 20, 2009

I finally told my mom I was gay tonight, and I would like to thank everybody for helping me in this journey to get parental acceptance, yes, no matter how annoying you are, you actually helped somehow, and I only say this sometimes in my life, THANK YOU.

So yes, this post will be long. It was unexpected, she broached it out of the blue, she told me that I could tell her anything and she was obviously going towards my sexuality.

Yes, Mom. I’m Gay.

She cried. She asked what went wrong. And there went the weirdest 3 hours of my life. Our discussion touched every topic of my life. My friends. My loves. My beliefs. It touched who I am.

It was a good thing I knew who I am, and I believe I broached it to her that I am comfortable with myself and my homosexuality, and that, in contrast to my High School and early College self, I have found peace with myself.

To my sisters, I hate you for telling mom and dad about my “crisis” – this just means that they knew about it looong ago, since that “identity crisis” occurred way back. Of course, it was actually just a front to get you off my back, but in a sense, it readied mom for this.

To Kuya, for not talking. You were the only one who kept it to himself, I think. The other two couldn’t.

To the Ateneo, for giving me Theology and Philosophy. I used a lot of the useless crap I learned in Theology to defend myself tonight. My mom’s religious and my knowing the theological defense for homosexuality went a long way in helping her accept it (I think). I also told her that Jesus’ message was one of love. Philosophy taught me to reason – may use ang lahat ng mga orals na yan sa buhay. It taught me to project myself with confidence.

To my High School, you not only gave me the best friends a gay could have, but you also thought me how to think scientifically. I defended myself using a biological perspective tonight, “It’s all hormones and pheromones, no matter how hard you wish it to change, it won’t.”

To M., you asked annoying questions when you learned I was gay. It helped somehow. To L., you may be black and homophobic, but you dealt with it. :P To J., you’re an idiot, but I blatantly used you tonight, telling mom all about my straight kabarkada and how THEY dealt with it, specifically you, J., coz I told her, “Si J. nga, he wanted me to undergo hypnosis treatment!” Yes, Mom said sana you straight assholes where her kids na lang. But I told her, “Eh this is who I am, and if you do not accept it, I am sorry!” She thought about it.

To Dear Daisy, Fat Muffins, JarJar, darbie, hellhoe and Lost Girl, thanks for being there, you were my “straight friends” who understood me and “they promised not to tell anyone and keep it to themselves. Ayoko din naman na kumalat no.” Of course I know you told some people. But I also know that you somehow kept it to yourselves din. :P

To the guys who know I'm gay but don't give a shit about it, :P thanks for not giving a shit about it. You know who you guys are.

To Wikipedia, the news, and all the brave gay guys out there, for making me realize that I’m not a freak. That I’m a guy who likes guys and that’s what I am no matter what anybody says

To E! YES, YOU! I told Mom ALL ABOUT YOU! HA! She started talking about her fears about HIV, and I said I have a friend who has HIV, in fact it’s a superstrain, and I told her that you started working in NGOs and stuff and your advocacies.

To Loud and MH and Datu and Mugen and E again, for being my homosexual (EVEN YOU LOUD) sounding boards. :P A fag needs fag friends too, he cannot live on straight people alone.

To the Civetic One, Mom knew about you. Apparently one of my sisters talked about you already, madalas ka kasi dito sa bahay. I used you too. I told her about your mom and how shes trying to reconcile her faith with her love for you.

To Dad, for, well… I think you removed a lot of my effeminate tendencies. J Hahaha. I remember you teaching me to not be limp-wristed. I’m sorry I lied to you when you confronted me last December, but I was afraid and it was biglaan. Of course I’d deny it.

To Mom, for being understanding and at least for listening to me. You are not to blame, I told you that tonight, neither you nor daddy. I believe that homosexuality is something you’re born with not something that the environment influences you towards (although it’s arguable). It went a lot better then it did. You got mad because I didn’t tell you about it earlier and cause I didn’t ask for help. I think that my being like this is something I needed to deal with on my own. You told me it’s wrong, against God’s will, etcetera, etcetera, but you listened to what I have to say. You know, I would have run away If you confronted me about this when I was younger. I could have committed suicide. I told you that I already had an “escape plan” in case you found out. At least you listened. And in the end, I hope you understood.

The night ended well I think.

It’s hard for a gay guy to tell his parents that he is gay.

It’s hard for a parent to accept it too.

I cried tonight. YES THAT’S HARD TO BELIEVE. It took awhile, Mom cried kaagad, right when I told her, the confirmation. It took me longer to do it, but I did too.

I’m out of the closet to the people I hold dear in the world, there’s nothing else I can do but wait and see what the new day has to offer.

Strangely, as I'm closing this blogpost and preparing for sleep, Eminem pops out in my mind.

"I'm sorry mama, never meant to hurt you, never meant to make you cry but tonight, I'm cleaning out my closet."

Apparently, even a fag like me can relate with straight homophobic white rappers.
