wow!!!! its one of the best article i’ve ever read….

Oh my god galing din kami ng pagudpud MIGS (close!). We left Manila April 2 early morning. We went to Blue Lagoon nothing spectacular, malinaw lang yung water yun lang, dusa sa layo nakakapaGUD talaga. Tipong pag-uwi nyong magkakaibigan magkaka-away na kayo hahaha.

this post reminds me that i really should set up another blog so that i can share my own experiences anonymously. thanks, migs!

amen to that!

Ay naku MIGS, di ba souvenir photos are taken with you and the place as a background.
When will we see the real MIGS captured in photo?!?
purr…purr…purr…

Your post reminded me of how much fun it was hanging out with friends, getting slap happy and just being silly over the weekend in Palm Springs for the White Party.

How very true, especially because support systems for many needs and causes are still limited in the Philippines (just my observations, please correct me if I’m wrong - actually, I hope I’m wrong) for those in need or disenfranchised. In North America, there are all kinds of networks, support groups and organizations, both private (charities and volunteers) and public (government), for those who need them. These support systems are there for those who need support, council, advice and referral or simply to lend an ear. Individuals can vent their anger or frustrations, or get hope and encouragement either anonymously or participate in a more interactive group setting. Hopefully, some of these services, in not too distant future, will also be available for the individuals suffering alone and in silence in the country.

So bakit hindi ako invited sa Pagudpud? Humph!

awkie…puede ba gawa tayo ng group yung mga andito sa mgg???

masarap at masaya ata if we can meet like once a month and go bonding and all…

thats a gud suggestion jholou (related 2 jhumong?). Pero im not out kaya secret society ba 2 (like an underground group, hehehe)

josh tse (jhumong ka dyan) hihihihihih

at ndi eto secret kasi as of the moment ang nakabasa na ata e 700…ahahhahahahah

magmaskara na lang ako when the grand meeting happens hi jholou, san nakaya si andrew?

How true… sometimes my bi friends becomes my outlet of frustration/depression. I dont know how i can live my life without them.

Migs u been good sharing ur brave thoughts in this blog but i am just wondering when wud u be brave enuf to show some pictures of yours… baka naman kc nakakasalubong na kita sa mall makapag bigay pugay man lang aketch!

Apir tita!

ay akala ko naman may pictures from pagudpud … kadramahan na naman pala! kakambal talaga ng drama ang mga badingding!

when will I be brave enough to show my pictures? hmmm. is that really necessary? shy ako eh. hehehe. ipagtanong ninyo na lang how i look like. apparently some readers here have seen me gallivanting around.

ever since i watched few episodes of queer as folk back in United States, I knew Ive got to have a circle of gay friends. It seems to be fun.. Kase Im out to my friends but not to my family..

hello josh…

so ano kailan ba unang pagbobonding natin mga guys???

One of my frustration is not to have other friends like me. Its always me and my bf. It would have been better kung meron din akong kausap who can understand my situation.

davidarc homosexuals are friendly in nature…use that…

i LOVE this entry!

this made me realize that having gay friends is important.. haven’t really had the chance to meet new gay friends since highschool…

jholou, i disagree. some gaymen even hate and badmouth other gays.

anyway, it’s such a comfort to be with other gay men who have the same level of thinking as you do… i know many PLUs but i only have a handful whom i call friends — true friends who helped liberate me and who are friends in the true sense of the word.

I just completed 4 seasons of Queer As Folk, so pinag-iisipan ko talaga yung concept of gay friendship. From my experience, there are just some things unique to gay men that is hard for straight men and women to relate with. Take for example my male barkada, I can’t talk about my gay experiences with them unless I remove all taints of M2M sex on them, since mandidiri sila (hehehehe, although I do it anyway just to annoy them.) My female friends on the other hand, I can tell my stories to, especially since they are yaoi fans, however, they cannot (being female) experience M2M sex or anything related to it themselves, so there are still some things that may not comprehend (the stress of coming out; the need to cruise and get laid; etc etc). I agree with renzo that it would be really liberating and comforting to have gay friends who know what you have experienced and can give advice on how to deal with it.

Sa idea ni jholou, hahaha. “The Grand MGG EB” To come… :)) If ever this happens, makikita ba natin si migs in person or mamaya, he’s gonna go in a mask hahaha. Friends tayo Migs World peace guys.

am jst content to read all ur blogs guys…ang saya, all i can say s…”AMEN” to all ur opinions may point ang bawat isa and kailangan talagang may kaibigan ka (NO MAN IS AN ISLAND) maging straight man cya o hindi….gay-straight friendship can happen and really exist…speaking fr my own experience…i got a lot of straight friends, male and female & i can feel their sincerity, respect and warmness as friends..walang halong kalokohan lol.
Sana magkita tayo Migs dito sa US kaya lang nasa Sanfo ka nandito naman ako sa east coast…New Jersey to be exact….tu2loy ka ba dito sa East Coast? U have my e-mail add maybe i can meet w/u when u will be here.

so, migs, did u enjoy Pagudpud? What does the place offer?

cheers!

i’ve had the experience of seeing his picture dun sa mga naka-link sa site ni vince lopez and i must say that migs is good looking. kaso when i tried viewing the link again the following day, nawala na yung pic ni migs. sayang. i wanted to see his face again kasi di ka magsasawang tignan (i kinda like bearded guys kasi).

The first person to know about my gender orientation was a male college freshman classmate, a straight guy, who went on to become an international model. “I am gay”, I simply told him that. And he never reacted differently. He accepted me for what and who I am, and we even became good friends. The other straight guy who knew about my sexuality was also a college classmate, and just like the former, he accepted me and welcomed me as one of his friends. We have remained good friends and he has remained supportive of me, despite my unique lifestyle. Before I confided in them, I thought I would receive a harsh or a violent reaction or treatment from them, knowing almost all straight men would not want a gay guy for a friend or for keeps. I was dead wrong. I have been so thankful to these two guys who treat me as their equal and as a normal person. It is only my own family - my parents and siblings as well as my kin - who does not know I am gay.

Since my removal to the metropolis, I have never had any close friends, gay friends for that matter. What I have earned, though, are virtual gay friends who are as discreet and manly as I am. They are nice to me and we keep in touch via occasional text messages. I have always looked forward to forming an enduring friendship with a gay guy, who will stick with you through thick and thin. Though I am alone, I am not lonely, and I enjoy my life, my career, and my time.

in frankly speaking we need gay friends if they r for our own gud but if not much better loose them and without them…wala kasi akong gay barkada na as in close kami and we share each others experiences and evrything and stuff.., i may say im alone as sort of that..work, church, market place, house… sa cafe during my off ganyan lang lagi..i guess d ko pa nahanap ung frndshp ko na gay din na mkakarelate sa kin…i hate kasi those gays na unethical kung magsalita evrywhere…says bad words and mga bastos ung sinasabi….ok lang if ur in a private place…d ung even public knows bout ur bad attitude….thts it…Migs ur right coz even a child tinutukso ako until now.., though im 25 yrs old already….
