You! Yes, you, Mr. Going Against the Current! This one's for you! :)
For a while already I know I admire you. It's rather inefficient of me to express this now as I was reading your latest blog. I think our minds could intertwine and have a blissful intercourse together.
Such a strong physicality, intellectual prowess and mindful spirituality, things that I see in you. Yes, in you! Very cool, so sexy.
I like you. It's not what I know about you personally. It's my little known facts about you that makes me want more and more, to see you write and express and to interact with you personally that's rather more appealing as I see it. It could make perfect sense.
I don't see you that often & I only get to hear some latest news or happenings about you from your kindred. But it's all served more like an appetizing dish that I want to try and try over again.
Your written expressions in your channel is such an outlet that fills my craving and I see you more and understand you more. I like you for that. The more I read more from your site , the more I could say you & I share a common ground and similarity of thoughts whether muddled or puddled, still its humanely sexy to admit we can cringe and/or pout sometimes. It's our God-given right to do so.
Yes, you! I think you're CURRENTS are strong that I want to be swept away by you! I hope you delight me with your appeal and see it to be inspiring. Cheers!

NUVALI, NUVALI BUT YOU!
It's not a very easy journey to say the least. I had to endure some daily grind, personal setbacks and multitude of hurdles. Amidst all that, I know I'm not suppose to stop as I know this house, this wonderful dream will share more happy memories and fun, sweet and warm times to my family & friends and love ones!
2013, with some grace of God and His divine blessing, is the year of our grand move!
To God be the honor of having and achieving this wonderful Nuvali home of mine!
Come, join me and share with me this milestone!
House warming gifts and well wishes are welcome! :-)

Hospital arrest!!!
Getting sick and to be hospitalized is something that I don't really wish to happen to me.
But there comes a time when things don't go our way, we succumb to stress, contract unwanted elements and eventually be run down!
I am writing this on the bed of my hospital room, spending my time here, recovering. I was sick On & Off for few days before I decided to submit myself to hospital care! I did not want to because I am thinking of so many responsibilities but I realize my health is very important.
This is the first time that I was hospitalized . Aside from thinking about what I am missing at work, there were lots of thoughts inside me that I am thinking about while in hospital confinement; like what will happen to me, who will take care of me, who will cover for me at work, what about my pending house move etcetera!!! In all these, I told myself to just let go for now and things will fall into their proper places. Add to that, I am blessed that my partner was helpful in my time of need and emergency. Some family members rushed to the hospital immediately upon notification while some friends came as well and some sent their get well messages (some were non reactive even when notified, oh well).
On the side:
One funny but I felt offensive tone/remark that I got was a question from an old friend who asked ,"Baka HIV yan?" I knew it was a joke so I amusingly said to him, "Baka nga, at kung totoo lagot ka at nagdilang anghel ka!"
However, I also felt that it's not funny to be joked around with why I'm in the hospital. I told him that I do not like the connotation just because I'm gay I am easily attributed to HIV. I am not specifically the victim of such connotation but all gay people so this led me to give a short but biting lecture of what HIV is and who it can affect (it's not just for gay people my friend)!
My point is, no one should even try to think and say a person may have HIV by virtue of his/her sexual preference. i think, it's plain ignorance for anyone to think that way.
Secondly, hypothetically if I am afflicted with the virus, I don't think it should be a barometer of my ability and personality. That remark may have come as a joke but it's already a pre-judgement that I don't deserve at all. I am not that type of person who discrimates based on character, preference or attitude! So I expect better from anyone who knows me personally or otherwise.
Thirdly, I felt that what if I do have HIV do you shy away from me? I do know that not everyone has the intelligence to know what being gay is about, what HIV is, what being a real friend is, so at least I would expect respect and cordiality!
At this juncture, as I invibe recovery from my illness I do hope with my little opinion it reaches far and beyond to everyone who may read it - to just provide context on friendship, the ability to support any one in need, the modesty to be more careful about what they say or utter to anyone , the ability to respect and not easily think bad of others regardless of their lifestyle or preference!
World peace!

Friends through thick or thin?
Sometimes I can't help but question the friendships that I've made in my life, whether those are deep meaning or otherwise.
I guess it's normal to have those moments when we question the sincerity, the loyalty and the alliance because just like being in a relationship , friendship requires constant assurances on both sides to know and help us understand that we are not just friends when things are good or okay but also when things gets tough.
Even simple gestures that requires significant adjustment by one end to another is a big deal to me. Especially if I am the one requesting or inviting at least I would expect if you really know me you know that if I say I want this or that, and its not a matter that affects the surrounding significantly but more on the subtle side where you can adjust if you want to because I ask you to, you ought to consider that - as a friend to me!
Big milestones in life, just like in anyone's own area, are really requiring support not only from family, loved ones but also good friends. What kind of support? Well, at bare minimum I guess the security of knowing that as a friend , just like what the song said, "you just call out my name, and you know whereever I am, I'll come running.."

Exciting ride of life
It is never late to see that life is good, fun and filled with exciting colors of adventures!
This photo is taken during our Zipline ride adventure in Lake Sebu, South Cotabato in Mindanao, Philippines.
It's never too late to see good places and celebrate the opportunity with people that matters to us. In this exciting ride, my partner & I enjoyed the quick seconds of that recent funventure! If you think about it, the risk, the thrill of doing thiS zipline is not something to be taken lightly. Why? Because any wrong turn could mean disaster! But sometimes, such opportunity with someone may forever be cherished as well for it will strengthen your bond and togetherness!
In the end of it all, we could say that we managed to enjoy life and never let it control our lives by being so entwined with pressures or worry that we might slip! In life, you either stop and never achieve greater heights just because you became afraid to do it. However, I should say to you that you may also choose to lIve life & love it as well as celebrate it. You may do that with or without the luxury of having someone ride it with you.
What is most important at this is that you did it, i.e. enjoyed and had fun in the thrilling and colorful journey of your life!
Have a good one!
