Los Montañeses

I opened Grindr. There was a new face. Closed-up. Sepia-toned. Kissable smile. Teeth shown with braces. Cute.

I said my usual salutations, "Do you have another face pic?"

I received a photo. Same cute kissable smile but this time non-sepia and non-close-up.

"Yours?" he requested.

OPM: Gayuma

There was this gay group in grade school. They were called federacion by the other students. I do not know if it was self-styled or baptized on them. They were about 8 or 10 members. Actually, I am not sure if they consider themselves as one group. There could even be two groups or two factions within the larger federation.

Two out of three of the prominent among them became my classmates. One was tall and thin. The other was short and average. The third, whom I did not really remember well, was fat.

Trends 2012: Pusong Bato

I did say I like Original Pinoy Music. To some extent, OPM is P-pop or Pinoy-pop.

They say music is the language of the soul. If this must be true, music should be in the native tongue of the listener for it to delve into the deepest of the soul. One could enjoy music with foreign lyrics, yes. Did it became rooted in him?

Campus: Bahay ng Alumni

Exactly two years ago. It was another exhausting yet fulfilling Saturday morning. We jogged around the Acad Oval, listened to a tactics lecture, and did some platoon exercises. The rest of the morning we spent by cleaning the hall.

I could have stayed longer and bond with the other cadets but I was hurrying to get home. D, an architecture student whom I met before that semester started, invited me to a party later at night. I would get home, rest, and prepare for the party.

Trends 2012: Popularizing the DILF

Trends 2012 will make an extended series due to the busy schedule of December.

'Daddies' are generally 40+ year-old fathers (ie. have children) and bulky, tough, hairy, and huge. But that image is for a genre of gay porn.

The beast-DILF need to be domesticated if to be shown on popular media. And so the DILF was slimmed to fit into a longsleeves, gentleman-ed, trimmed, and [who says can't stay to be?] huge.

The best example of Pinoy-DILF I can think of is Richard Gomez and, for the Hollywood-DILF, it's Brad Pitt. If you think otherwise or just want to add please do comment.

The modern-DILF was so, as they call it, feminized that it might border on metrosexual sometimes. Yet popular media didn't stop at that. They continued to introduce DILFs even on children.
