11:00 pm	From yukitsu Just dropping by to post this little comment thingy that yukitsu put up in her own blog. Intriguing results, because I don't think I even know some of the people on this list. ( Who comments the most on this journal? ) Current Mood: curious (18 Comments |Comment on this)
10:45 am	Your Song: WIthout You Oh my gawd, there MUST be a God, because Victor Basa is doing a four-week series playing a gay guy. A GAY GUY! The majority of fags in the Greater Manila Area — me included — must be having apoplectic fits right now. Sure, there is the unfortunate decision of pairing him with Joross Gamboa, but I can overlook that. !Warning! This post is going to be replete with capitalization. ( Two gays,a girl, and shirtless pictures of Victor Basa ) Current Mood: horny (15 Comments |Comment on this)

12:15 pm	MST TIME! It's been ages since I posted an MST of any sort on this here blog, and now I bring a doozy. No, it's not some obscure novel that few people have heard about. No, it's not some poor student's entry to a school writing competition. It's a column from Brian Gorell's favorite section in The Philippine Star. It's from Supreme. You see, guys and gals, this guy thought of reviewing Cormac McCarthy's "The Road", and while there certainly isn't anything wrong with that at all, there is something very wrong with the whole way he goes about it. MST-ing this lovely, lovely work will be: *Walter Klemmer from The Piano Teacher, he of the 7-inch dick and the sexy spit. * Gaspard from the "Le Marais" segment of Paris, Je t'aime, he who is sexily Parisian. *Moi, and you guys already know who I am. ( The fun is under the cut ) Hungry for more? Read his review of Elie Wiesel's "Night", where he compares riding the MRT to the experience of taking a boxcar to Aushwitz. FOR REAL-REAL, NOT FOR PLAY-PLAY! It's over here. ETA: ( Now with fabbity-fab-fab pictures! ) Current Mood: ecstatic (6 Comments |Comment on this)

1:25 pm	Vaginas everywhere! I am trying to write a book review for the paper that I work for, and it is close to giving me an aneurysm. It's a self-help book, and there's nothing wrong with that, but this one is even more trite, and reads like it was written by one of those guidance counselors who delude themselves into thinking that they are still "hip" and "down with it". What's worse is I can't put all of this in a review since it is published by a local publishing house, and my editor doesn't like me slamming anything produced locally. I can let it rip if it's a foreign publication, but local books get a free pass. I have instead taken to watching local television, since our cable connection has been disconnected. Not because we weren't paying the bills, mind you, but because Sky Cable is upgrading and requiring everyone to use their godforsaken digiboxes. If it hasn't happened in your locality yet, be prepared to see nothing but white noise on your screens. ANYWAYS. ASAP '08 has been taken over by vaginas, or more appropriately, vaginal washes. It's been one Lactacyd sponsor after another. What's funnier is that the guys are hosting the show. Other than sticking their dicks in them, what do guys know about vaginas? This post has no point, really. * * * * * I will be working for a new company on Tuesday, and I will talk more about it in upcoming posts because I have a feeling that the whole lot of you will love where I am working right now. Discounted goodies will be made available to all! Current Mood: uncomfortable (12 Comments |Comment on this)

8:48 pm	Quivering with anticipation The desktop is sorta, kinda working again. It cost me a pretty penny, but most of the kinks have been worked out, and just one lastseeing to is needed, if my brother and the computer shop people are to be believed. What does this mean for my One Reader, who even at this moment is growing even more uninterested in my daily, unblogged affairs? I honestly have no idea. I may be putting up some pictures, though.

11:20 am	This is what happens when you lock teenage boys in a house While it took the first season of Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition several episodes before going on to discuss its housemates' penises, Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus is wasting no time. Alex Anselmuccio It's only the second episode and Alex Anselmuccio already wants to be circumcised on air. Sort of. Checked out the official site and it appears tonight's episode will be one featuring the boys telling each other their circumcision stories. Yes. It appears that Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus still holds the crown for gayest show on Philippine television, without actually being gay. Current Mood: ecstatic (4 Comments |Comment on this)

9:20 am	Seriously I knew it was popular, but this popular? If you look hard enough, there are a bunch of teenage English school kids--not half-Pinoy,mind you--dancing it. I am amazed, without any trace of irony or sarcasm. Current Mood: shocked (8 Comments |Comment on this)

9:00 am	Dropping by Hey guys! My computer's still dead, so I am once again using somebody else's property. As such, I only have time to direct you to a dirty W. H. Auden poem. An excerpt: "By soundless bounds it extended and distended, by quick Great leaps it rose, it flushed, it rushed to its full size. Nearly nine inches long and three inches thick, A royal column, ineffably solemn and wise. I tested its length and strength with a manual squeeze. I bunched my fingers and twirled them about the knob. I stroked it from top to bottom. I got on my knees. I lowered my head. I opened my mouth for the job."

7:55 pm	A sad ghei is sad My computer is broken, hence the lack in updates. Am only online to notify everyone about it,whilst I look for money to buy the needed stuff. Turns out our computer is way old already, because when we sent it to the computer place, the people actually told us that the parts our computer had weren't manufactured anymore.

1:45 pm	First day of freedom! I'm on leave! TODAY! I DON'T NEED TO SHOW UP AT WORK! AIIIEEEE!!!!! So what if it's overcast outside and I'm not exactly swimming in money? So what if I really don't have any activities planned so I can enjoy my days of freedom? So what if I'll be spending some of those days getting my pre-employment requirements in order? I'M FREE!!!!!!! I CAN TROT OUT THE CUTEST TURTLE IN THE WORLD ANY TIME I WANT! LIKE NOW! * * * * * Other than actual gay men, is there anything gayer than frat boys? * * * * * Remember the gayest flight ever? The Advocate tells us what went on during that long trip to Sydney Mardi Gras. * * * * * We Are The World. In Japan. WATCH IT NOW. Current Mood: ecstatic (Comment on this)

11:10 am	I did not know this Apparently, Italian men grab their crotches for good luck. "Anyone who has seen a hearse go past in Italy, or been part of a discussion in which some terrible illness or disaster is mentioned, will know it is traditional for men to ward off bad luck with a quick grab at what are delicately called their 'attributi'." If I touch an Italian man's crotch, is that good luck for me or for him? It doesn't matter now, though, as public crotch grabbing is now outlawed in Italy, Towleroad reports. ( Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and what may be crotch-grabbing. Yes, you read that right ) * * * * * Another thing I found out today: Bookshelves are just like Facbook. EzraKlein Archives, Nerd World, and Inside Higher Ed tells us that "bookshelves are a medium of social interaction... a format for the 'performance of self,'" "The reading of those books is entirely incidental. The question becomes how we'll project all of this when Kindles takes off and all our books are digital." says Ezra Klein. I'm poor so I don't have a book shelf. Is this why I'm a social outcast and can't get laid? Current Mood: happy (14 Comments |Comment on this)

11:10 am	Link dump! OMG, I'll be on leave in a matter of days! Celebrate with me! * * * * * It's got eyelashes, people! Read more about the gayest flight ever over at Towleroad. I want to be on that flight, for serious. * * * * * Writers over at the Washington Post have their own game room, Gawker reports. They have a foosball table, air hockey, and a Wii, to quote the post. If my former place of employ provided me with those distractions I would never leave. I wouldn't get any work done either, but that's another thing entirely. * * * * * Lastly, check out these two strips: Garfield Minus Garfield and Arbuckle: Garfield through Jon's eyes. They really do make Garfield look a lot more trippy than it actually is. Current Mood: optimistic (11 Comments |Comment on this)

12:40 pm	Evil Incarnate I haven't been online as often as I would like because I tried out Vista and I have to say that it is a blight on the face of humanity. My computer crashed so many times I almost had nausea just watching it turn on. To those planning on upgrading, I'd suggest you wait. Am not really a tech expert, but wow, was that a bad experience. * * * * * ( Zac Efron=boy kissing? ) Yes, it's days old, but this photo circulating around the internets is supposedly of Zac Efron kissing another boy. I don't think it's him, but the picture is tres cute, oui? I got this lil' tidbit from Towleroad. * * * * * ( Marion Cotillard and Forrest Whitaker ) * * * * * Daniel Radcliffe just bought his second New York apartment for $4.9 million. I don't even have enough money to pay for rent. This warrants an emoticon: :( Current Mood: sleepy (5 Comments |Comment on this)

10:30 am	Them crazy celebrities I know there are Tokio Hotel fans in my flist, so I just thought I'd alert you guys to the fact that they're featured on Gawker right now. Also, in another spectacular instance of fandoms colliding, did you know that the White Witch of Narnia is getting it on with an elf from Middle Earth? This story from The Daily Mail talks about Tilda Swinton's arrangement with the 67-year-old father of her children John Byrne and her male companion Sandro Kopp. Aside from playing a centaur in the Narnia movies, it appears that Kopp also played Gildor the elf in LOTR. * * * * * I'm off to a job interview later this afternoon, so wish me luck guys!

11:15 am	A better tomorrow? Surely, surely, the fact that I have been able to watch three movies the past week -- two in movie houses and one on disc -- is a sign of a better tomorrow? A tomorrow with more free time and less stressing out and clumps of hair falling in the shower? The three movies I watched over the week were Juno, Jumper, and Death in Venice. I watched Jumper last Wednesday, and quite honestly had very little expectations about the film. I wasn't impressed by the trailer to begin with, and was basically watching it because I needed a break and it was the only movie screening at a convenient hour. Also, Jamie Bell. ( Are you ready to Jump? ) * * * * * On amehanashi and morethanfiction's birthday weekend (which was basically Saturday night) I watched Juno, which everybody and their mother has been raving about since God knows when. ( I'm telling the truth, swear to blog! ) * * * * * Finally, I just watched Death in Venice a few hours ago. I got my grubby little paws on Death in Venice thanks to the lovely amehanashi, who really is way too good to me. I had just read the novel a few months ago, and was particularly interested in seeing the film version. ( Beautiful, beautiful boy ) Current Mood: okay (2 Comments |Comment on this)

12:30 pm	A few of my favorite things Prompted by the destruction of yukitsu's fragile childhood memories, I thought of listing down some of the tasty treats I used to spend my money on when I was just a wee little fagling. Lugaw When I was just a little boy (in Sweden! Sorry, inside joke), my summers would usually be spent in my province of Marinduque. Aside from owning the place where I stayed in for two months, my relatives also had a sari-sari store and a butcher's stall in the local market. If I was in a good mood and hadn't spent all night reading, I would get the privilege of accompanying my relatives to market and help them set up. ( Motorcycle rides and lugaw ) Suman Later on in the day, when the sun was already up and the customers had finally thinned out (the majority of them usually come early in the morning to buy their meat and groceries), the same uncle that bought me lugaw would then buy me suman, a local sticky rice dessert. ( Suman and Snickers ) Current Mood: nostalgic (12 Comments |Comment on this)
