Red Horse

The call was short. He was still working a part-time shift past 9. A similar job of sewing blouses. There was a need for him to send money back to the province and the weekly wage he got from mom would not be enough. He sounded unsure.

My class just ended. I had a three hours free time before the next class. I have to do something to kill time. Good thing this guy from an online app texted me. He's from Montalban. He looks cute on his profile picture. We then discussed over text how to get to his place. I calculated if I can get there and back in time for my next class, although I haven't really been to that part of Montalban.

Multo ng Tagalog 2

*Sagot sa isang die-hard fundamental na regionalist na tinawag akong "evil" dahil Tagalog ako at hindi pa marunong ng ibang wika sa Filipinas.

Basahin ang unang bahagi: Multo ng Tagalog

Hindi si Quezon ang pumili sa Tagalog para maging pambansang wika.

Magsisimula ang kasaysayan ng pagpili sa pambansang wika noong 1934 nang ginagawa ang Konstitusyong 1935. Sabi ng 1935 Konstitusyon, Article XIV:

Section 3. The Congress shall take steps toward the development and adoption of a common national language based on one of the existing native languages. xxx

Ang mga delegado sa Constitutional Convention ng 1934 ay binoto ng mga Filipino. 50 lamang sa 202 mga delegado ang galing sa mga probinsyang Tagalog at ang mga leader naman doon ay mga Cebuano kaya imposible na may monopolya ang Tagalog sa Kumbensyon ng 1934. 96% ang naging boto para aprubahan ang Konstitusyong 1935 sa isang national referendum. Walang monopolya ang mga Tagalog sa isang national referendum.

Some of my classmates were already working on their projects when I arrived.

"Hey! Your clothes are very simple today," a guy classmate noticed.

I was wearing a plain white shirt and dark almost black maong pants.

"And you're quite happy! Have you scored last night?" he teased.

I just kept on smiling and proceeded welding some pieces of metal strips together.

Happy Gym 0!

Regular Sunday morning workout. One of the two first gymmates I knew in that gym was also working out. Rou rarely workout there though. I think he is also a member in another gym.

He used the equipment I was about to use next. I approached him to say hi and tell him I will use the equipment alternately with him. He suddenly asked me if I knew what happened to our common acquaintance.

He really said a name but I did not recognized it. I just knew he was talking about the other first gymmate. He said he was terminally ill. He motioned me to come nearer so he can tell what happened.

TDF: First UP Experience

Finals week na yun. Kaya naman halos wala nang tao sa Gym. Kung bakit ba kasi kailangan talaga isabay ni Caces ang finals ng Weight Training. Buti mabilis lang natapos. Dumeretso na kami ng Men's Locker ng mga kaklase ko.

ABSTRACT Tuesday ng umaga. Nakasabit ako sa jeep mula pa sa Tikling. Nagdalawang sakay na ko mula amin para lang makapasok. Minsan kalahating oras rin yun kaya 'pag nabobore na 'ko sa bagal ng trapik kinakausap ko na lang sarili ko. O kaya kung gwapo yung isa pang nakasabit, hini-hit ko sya. Effective naman pampalipas trapik at manhid ng kamay.

"Good morning bro!" I texted him first thing after waking.

I did my morning routine which included checking updates online and breakfast.

"Good morning too!" his reply after an hour. "I'll take a bath first."

I also took a bath after knowing he was awake.

God Save the King

I was on a tricycle. My eyes were lazy and one arm was hugging my stomach. I came from a meet-up scheduled days before. I was undecided then if I was to go straight to school for an exam three hours early or go back home, eat then take a nap.

The tricycle was about to turn right to our street when suddenly a boy riding a motorcycle to the opposite direction caught my glance. He turned his eyes at me too. The boy's hair seems fuzzy.

Jeeponomics: Cost Analysis

My class finished earlier than usual. I love days like this because I can avoid the afternoon rush - no waiting for an hour to ride a jeep and no need to sabit (see picture below).

PS. Apologies for being absent for nearly half a year and thank you for the more than thousand blog views.

"Did you came?" I asked C.

"No," he quipped.

"What will we do about that?"

"I'll finish it at home."

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.

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.

Trends 2012: Plague Inc.

The world was supposed to end a week ago.
Who would believe that
the end of a long and rather accurate, celestial-based calendar of an ancient American civilization
would coincide with the end of the world?

Trends 2012: BJ and BS

Before anything else, Buko Shake and Buko Juice.
These two are nothing new really but they did trend well this past year.

I won't deny it. I love BJ!
Sweetened is good but I like the aftertaste of the unsweetened variety better.
I love it on the spot, in the nut but a cool one won't be bad after a tiredly day in the sun.

Surprising. It is a weekend-edge holiday but the gym is not even half-filled. I start with my routine. I am in the mood of lifting but it seems my body does not want heavy tonight. At least, the small crowd now is more beautiful than usual.
