Pansol Pool Party

Pansol Pool Parties

I'm attending a pool party this weekend and though I have been to a few pool parties in Pansol before, I still have many concerns about what may possibly happen. Of course there will be an overflow of alcohol and activities, but what really gets me are the kind of people who will be there. I'll be updating this entry as I go along further but for now, this is how I feel about it all. Might still change later on but who am I to say.

CLUBBING | OBar Pasig

OBar Pasig Gay Club Manila

So last Saturday, I met up with some friends to celebrate the birthday of some club members. The evening would have been perfect as there were lots of attendees but the bar only serves beer - I know, disappointing. By 2am, got bored and decided to move to another place. We thought of going to Poblacion - to Agimat to be precise but it was already closed by 3am. Until we spontaneously decided to move to OBar. At 4am, we reached the bar.

Agoo, La Union

Ever joined a random trip of gay men somewhere outside of Manila? This weekend, I decided to check out the scheduled LA UNION trip of a group I saw on Twitter and here is how it turned out and here is my travelogue.

CLUBBING | Top 10 Gay Clubs in Metro Manila

Top 10 Gay Clubs in Manila

Curious about discovering the trendiest and most vibrant LGBTQ+ hangouts in Manila? You're in for a treat because this article has got you covered. But before we delve into the details, let's take a quick trip down memory lane - for the longest time, the gay scene in Manila was centered in Malate. Yes, Orosa Nakpil Avenue, where people from all walks of the LGBTQ+ spectrum would gather on weekends. This was the pre-Grindr era, spanning from 1995 to 2005, when the excitement revolved around the bustling club scene. However, Malate lost some of its shine for various reasons, prompting the crowd to seek out alternative venues.

JOURNAL | Why "Hero" Is A Social Construct and Should Be Re-Examined

 Philippines National Heroes' Day

It's National Heroes' Day in the Philippines.

Something I would have overlooked if not for some related posts in Twitter. Right now the Philippines is starving for heroes they can look up to - at least sensible heroes who fit the bill, and not some self-proclaimed hero who promises to liberate the poor and implement changes (e.g. corrupt politicians) but a hero who looks after the welfare of the land before self. 

I can't think of anybody else aside from ex-Vice President Leni Robredo. She's such an inspiration to most Filipinos who have dreams of making our lives a better one. Although she has not won last presidential election, my hope did not die that maybe someday through her works and inspiration something good will come out of it all.

JOURNAL | Why Body Dysmorphia Should Not Be Tolerated

Bigorexia, Body Dysmorphia

Yesterday, I just settled my monthly gym membership fee and it has got me thinking whether this spending is all worth it considering that I only use the gym twice a month - pretty expensive for an effort to lose weight just because I feel awfully overweight these past few days. My belly has started to bloat that I could not even see my pubes because it is blocked. The good thing is I can still tie my shoe laces - back bent (although that has also started me feeling a bit struggling).

Confident, Grateful, Self Aware

On Being Grateful

Do we actually realize how blessed we are? Or do we feel privileged in thinking that we are entitled to what we have? On my next SPACE session, I will be dealing with the subject of gratefulness. As one of my friends once told me, becoming grateful and recognizing that there are so many things that we should be thankful for - is a step toward achieving harmony with the Universe.
