Tsinitoboy of UAE writes
I love OFWs. Why not naman, they are our country’s silent heroes. So when I received this letter from Tsinitoboy of the United Arab Emirates, I published it right away! It’s not a typical “I have a problem” letter, rather it is a sincere sharing of thoughts, happenings, and feelings. Pasalubungan natin ng masigabong palakpakan ang liham na ito mula sa isang kapatid na nagta-trabaho sa UAE, at kung maari, aking pakiusap po lamang, na bigyang pugay siya sa pamamagitan ng pagbati at pag-iiwan ng komento sa post na ito. Mabuhay ang mga OFW! Mahal ko kayo! I love you from the bottom of my hypothalamus!
Hi Migs,
I’m an OFW working in the UAE and I’m an avid reader of blog. Ever since I discovered your site, no day seems to past without me checking on your site. It has become a habit of mine to start my daily routine by looking at your site if there are any updates or comments. What I find amusing is actually the comment section on each of your post (I also like the way you tastefully present naked men & other mind tickling topics). Wherein some of your readers engage in a battle of wits through debates (I’ve been into one just lately on the topic of “Gays go to Hell”) or just plainly taunting each other like a bunch of gay kids. I would like to share to you our lives here working in the desert sands.
Censorship
One thing that I’m always thankful & glad of, is that your site had passed the censorship of the internet here in the UAE. Did you know that most sites that pertains to sex & homosexuality are blocked here? Even some pages from Wikipedia are unavailable such as the entry for Anal Sex. Which is actually ironic since a great number of Arab guys (totoo palang malalaki sila!) like to have anal sex with Asian guys (especially Pinoys, whether straight or gay). They always admire our smooth skin unlike them who are pretty much covered with hair (kakatakot pala pag sobrang hairy ang guy, parang werewolf). And they call obviously gay men as “ladyboys”. Nakakapagtaka lang eh, kahit straight or paminta ka papatusin ka pa rin nila lalo na ang mga patan or Pakistani. Dahil kaya, masyado na marami na paminta na OFW (sa mall pa lang andaming kabaro) kaya akala tuloy ng mga mokong lahat ng Pinoy ay ganon? Minsan nga naiisip ko na baka pati mga straight na pinoy dito ay pumapatos na rin kasi bukod sa gwapo na ang nag-aalok eh alam mo nang malaki talaga ang kargada *shrugs*. Sa mga taxi driver pa lang, tanda ko apat na indecent proposal na ang natanggap ko sa kanila sa loob lang ng ilang buwan yun ah (super tanggi to the max ako karamihan kasi may BO kahit na gwapo).
Hooking Up
Sa nightlife naman dito sa Dubai, para ka ring nasa Pinas tuwing weekends (Thursday & Friday). At karamihan ng mga bars dito mga pinoy ang mga banda, kaya para ka na ring nasa Malate. And frequent tambayan ng mga PLU ay yung Chikkagrill dito sa Dubai wherein jam packed lagi as in tayuan ang karamihan. Actually bawal ang homosexuality dito sa UAE, kaya karamihan nagpapaka-mhin kasi kulong hahantungin mo at lalatiguhin every friday pag napagtripan kang hulihin ng mga Pulis. Nevertheless, active pa rin naman ang sex life ng mga kalahi natin dito. Usual hunting grounds dito ay ang friendster at ang chat. After that kuhaan na ng mobile number and then eyeball na and the next is depende na sa inyo kung sino ang may available place. One friend ko nga ipinagyayabang na in five months time nakasex na nya ang 30 katao kaya lagi ko advice sa kanya na practice safesex syempre mahirap na magka-aids, deportation pa naman kaagad parusa dun pang positive ka. According sa source ko na nagwowork sa isang leading newspaper dito, may isang Pinoy na nadeport na dahil dun.
More Power
Living in the Middle East has its ups and downs. Una, yung kikitain mo dito hindi mo kikitain sa atin with the same line of job (masyado malayo ang diperensya at minsan wala akong ginawa katulad ngayon hehehe!). Dito halos mabibili mo lahat ng gusto mo; you can get a car here in less than a year kung gugustuhin mo & most pinoys here have a laptop(kahit sa supermarket nga makakabili ka ng laptop). Malayo ka nga lang sa family mo (although pwede mo sila isama), sobrang init sa summer (40°C walang binatbat ang el niño) & kailangan makisalamuha sa mga ibang lahi na usually mababaho (Indians whom we call pana & Pakistanis/patans) at kakaiba mag-English (kailangan barok ka para maintindihan ka nila). Hanggang dito na lang po thanks very much and more power to you and your blog
Regards,
Tsinitoboy

THIS IS A MUST READ: Y Tu Mamá También (And Your Mother Too) was a story of two young men who thought with their big penises, who consecrated every moment with amiable lewdness, and who went into a unique sexual journey to manhood (or queerhood).

hi. i’m also a filipino based in dubai. not all arabs smell bad (bad to our cultural perception, that is). the male locals, the real arab residents of UAE, smell really really good and are very clean.they would actually put filipinos to shame. they are actually consciously clean that one thing that you immediately notice is how well-manicured their toes are. locals usually wear sandals so you get to see their feet.
April 30th, 2008 at 11:19 am
interestingly, in my line of work, i noticed that only the uneducated ones do smell. the ones who got education know how to take care of their bodies. and besides, i think the younger generation of all arabs (locals, syrians, lebanese, etc.) are conscios about their bodies already. at tama tsinitoboy, everywhere you go, sobrang daming papa.

tsinitoboy
Glad to have heard from you!
Im sure u will survive well there in the desert!
Good luck on all ur sexual endeavors!
Enjoy MGG to the MAX! (Too bad walang Xtube dyan! Hahaha!)

Sa Jumeirah Beach, sa gabi pag nasa tubig ka; wag kang sisigaw ng Darna dahil hindi ka aahon ng hindi warak ang bahay “evs” mo; best day to go is on Thursday night; panalo ka don; basta smile lang ng smile..hehehe
May Disco na libre dyan sa may malapit sa St,Mary’s bayun, wonderland, danceland; anung tawag dun?; kalimutan ko na…anyway, dami ring hotties don, libre pa entrance
Pag alas 3am na at wala ka pang booking, wag ka sa Al Rigga dahil maraming kalaban; punta ka sa Al Reef Lebanese Bakery sa Karama; sure dun, makakakuha ka ng mga hotties; sa likod lang nun ako tumira dati eh..hehehe
goodluck

Thanks very much migs for publishing my letter and thanks for the comments fellow readers. Yup, tama si middle east, the emaratis (locals) are very clean and sophisticated. Kakaiba ang appeal nila kasi very refined talaga (lalo na si Prince Hamdan!!!). Syrians and Lebanese are the hippest, parang mga runway models and that includes Iranians also. All in all well-endowed silang lahat *giggles*.
April 30th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
Nice insights! My ex is in Dubai and we haven’t really been exchanging emails much so I really don’t have any idea what is the kind of life there with people like us, so this piece is kinda informative. Thanks!
April 30th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
hay naku ako din naka experience ng molestiyahin sa taxi dito sa dubai…pero kaka excite ang nangyari…lahat ng sinabi ni tsinitoboy tama!!!!ahehehe
April 30th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
punta ako ng UAE. Sama Kayo?
April 30th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
well, marami talagang gwapo dito sa dubai. as in madami. tama ang sinabi ni tsinitoboy, tingin ata sa lahat ng pinoy eh pumapatol sa m2m. they even know the name ‘bakla’ lalo na sa mga other nationalities na may experience na sa pinoy. minsan a taxi driver suck me inside his taxi at 2pm papasok sa work. nag-park lang dun sa likod ng isang building na walang masyadong tao at sincuk nya ako. syrian ata un. ang dami daw ng ‘water’na lumabas. hehehe. minsan matatawa ka na lang sa mga words nila. kailangan maging barok sa english kungdi, di kayo magkakaintindihan. minsan dati, kahit naglalakad ka pauwi sa flat sa gabi, may sasakyan na hihinto sa yo.. malilibog talaga mga tao dito. pero one point in your life, kailangan mo ng mag-steady sa isa… iba pa rin makipag-love making ang pinoy.
April 30th, 2008 at 10:23 pm
hehehe..galing nmn po..
hmmm..ang sbi po ng aking propesor. ang amoy daw ng isang arabo o sabihin nating bumbay ay hindi tlg mabaho. ito ay ang kanilang pabango. sa pagkat, hindi tayo sanay sa ganitong amoy, mdalas ang amoy na ito ay naamoy lng natin sa mga taong may BO kya nakakalasifay nating may BO sila kahit bgong ligo. sabi din nmn daw ng mga bumbay, ang mga pinoy din daw ay may amoy kaya minsan kahit na alm nilang mabango sila masa mabuti pang magdoble ng damit kesa malait pa ng mga pinoy.
April 30th, 2008 at 11:13 pm
Tama si middle east,yung mga arabong rich,malilinis sa katawan.Yung mga local arab lang na walang pera ang mababaho at di marunong maglinis ng katawan.Dito din ako sa Dubai now,maswerte si tsinitoboy at bongga ang sexlife nya.2 years na ako sa June pero until now,virgin pa rin ako.May takot kasi ako lalo na at alam nating well endowed ang mga arabo.Pero pagdating sa face,mahuhulog talaga ang panty mo.
April 30th, 2008 at 11:18 pm
that was nice to hear from tsinitoboy. and speaking of arabs, nangyari rin yan sa akin. was on a working holiday many years ago in morocco (di pa ako chubahita non) when these two arabs made a proposal. wholly crap, i locked myself sa hotel room for 24 hrs sa takot. wala akong balak na gang bang, heheheh
April 30th, 2008 at 11:43 pm
Correct!! The odor of Indians and Pakistanis and most Middle Easterners are intrinsically detestable. I wouldn’t live in India, Pakistan or the like even for a million euros or Adonis! Not to generalize but really, most of them smell bad. Maybe because of the spices they eat, lifestyle, hygiene, or it’s just their natural pheromones. LOL.
I find tsinitoboy interesting because of his comment on the priest’s comments about homosexuality. He’s quite contradicting.
May 1st, 2008 at 12:41 am
I’m glad you posted this letter Migs, kasi I can relate sobra. I am in Canada, and type ko tlga mga caucasians o puti, nagtataka ako kasi mga nakaka sex ko straight, yung tipong babae tlga gusto nila. pero since i am slim , maputi at makinis eh pinapatos nila… sinasuggest pa ng iba na i cross dress which I can never do. Once na matapos o they cum, parang nag iiba sila as in hindi ka na kakausapin… hay naku, bakit kasi ang popogi ng foreigners hahahahah.
May 1st, 2008 at 1:00 am
Kalokah ang tsintoboy na toh!
Gaya nga ng sabi nya, living in Dubai(and th eother emirates for that matter) is just like living in Manila, pati traffic pareho.
Wala masyadong nakawan, and you’d feel at ease when you are at the streets. You can buy the nicest phone and gadgets and use them outside. Expensive luxurious cars are common and designer labels are everywhere.
Dubai also tries to have all the pinakas - largest land reclamation, largest mall, largest airport, tallest building at kung anu-ano pa.
Yun nga lang Dubai is a very expensive city to live in.

ive been there a couple of times na din.actually, my family is based in abu dhabi, uae so halos every six months i go there to visit and just to have my residency ok.may isang beses, paakyat ako sa flat namin, may biglang pumasok na cute na lebanese ( lebanese men are usually goodlooking).so 2 lang kame sa elevator, so deadma. but when i looked at him, he was jerking off pala and was even eyeing me to do something with it. ewan ko ba kinabahan ako, bumaba ako bigla sa next stop ng elevator even it wasnt my floor pa. moment later, sabi ko sa sarili ko, “shoot sayang un, anlaki pa naman”…

hi. i’m also a filipino based in dubai. not all arabs smell bad (bad to our cultural perception, that is). the male locals, the real arab residents of UAE, smell really really good and are very clean.they would actually put filipinos to shame. -I agree. I grew up in the UAE and ang mababaho are the indians and pakistanis. not the local arabs
May 1st, 2008 at 11:27 am
ano ba ‘yan, in demand ba tayo among mga middle eastern folks dahil sa pinoy beauty/malakas ang appeal or ‘coz we’re easy and notorious for being cheap? i hope it’s not the latter. i live in a neighborhood (in the u.s.) with a lot of egyptians and i’ve noticed that i get more attention than usual. some are outright manyakis. sorry, i don’t care kung malaki kung manyak naman. (ok, egypt is geographically north african but it’s still mostly muslim.)
in terms of amoy, what most people don’t realize is whites are among the worst din when it comes to b.o. pinoy ang pinaka-focused sa paliligo. that i can say without any bias.
May 1st, 2008 at 11:47 am
I guess i dont need to further elaborate what was written there except that there a lot of gay as in loud gay in dubai and i happen to be one of them and some of designers friends hindi lang paminta. its a matter of how well do u behave infront of them as for me. im happy to be our of Dubai and enjoying a good compensation pacakge given to me here in kabul.
May 1st, 2008 at 1:17 pm
wow… nainspire naman ako. gusto ko na tuloy pumunta sa dubai haha
May 1st, 2008 at 1:25 pm
to lonelygayboy: glad that you noticed the contrast on my personality with regards to the other posts. It shows that I’m a gay boy who tries to balance my spirituality, love & life, and still trying to be the best that I can be.
To peppoi: thanks for mentioning about Jumeirah beach, madami talaga dun at marami kang pagpipilian. Tama ka dapat lagi kang smile, para maganda aura mo at maka-attract ng good fortune.
To the other UAE folks there, napansin nyo na ba na kapag cutie ang (pinoy)guy, usually gay or bi din sya? Mga 80 to 90% yung chance na ganun sya di ba?
May 1st, 2008 at 1:38 pm
as a son of an OFW who works in saudi arabia, i would always be told by my dad that saudi is such hell of a place for homosexuals (though he doesnt know that i’m one), practicing non-islam religion would get you discriminated. ..in the other hand, i have my relatives who work in dubai and they would tell me about the openness of UAE, with bikini-clad girls, cohabitation of religions, underground prostitution and gay pageants. I think Dubai is still better than riyadh by miles..way, way more open than KSA.

well at least this is not another gtagic sotry of a gay drama queen. i like the way how he says things are, no drama. nag-aapply ako for a job in UAE but agencies haven’t called me. hay buhay. alam ko meron dyang mga arabong papa pero work ang hanap ko. yoko ma-deport (the shame), malatigo (buti kung masochist ako), makulong, or worse, mapugutan ng ulo (beheading or castration). Plus the big reminder - HIV+ or AIDS.

gtagic sotry = tragic story

to tsinitoboy: I’m glad you said spirituality and not religion. It’s good to be spiritual. Enjoy yourself in Dubai. I hope more Muslim countries open up like UAE and Dubai.

gusto nila mga pinoy kasi malinis saka masikip yung alam nyo na. pati mga pinay saka chinese (pokpok) di tulad ng mga kalahi nila na maluwang daw..siguro ginawa lang ni lord na proportion yung size. haha
May 2nd, 2008 at 2:16 am
comment @ lonelygayboy: FYI, DUBAI is part of United Arab Emirates and not all states (city) in UAE are open… BAHRAIN is much open compare to UAE… Thanks!!! No Offense meant!!!
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:24 am
i remember yun sinabi ng husband ng one of my closest friends (he works in dubai) — the locals there are really well-manicured and good-looking. puede ka maging bading dun (sabi niya) kasi ang popogi ng mga tao dun. i guess he mentioned something about his stereotypes of arab men as mabaho. some are, pero yun nga, yung mga locals daw talaga really look good and smell good. ayaw daw niyang papuntahin ang kaibigan ko dun at baka hihiwalayan daw siya heheh of course, she visits him there regularly.

ay parang gusto ko na tuloy sumunod sa friend ko sa dubai. Na excite ako sa story mo Tsinito boy.. weehehehehe
May 7th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
Addition to my letter, bago ako napadpad pala dito I already heard rumors of the fornications and adulterous lifestyles of our kababayans here. May mga instances daw na a married person back home gets involved with someone else here. May nagkakabit (mapa-lalake or babae man), nabuntis si misis pero si mister nasa pinas, pinalitan na ni BF si GF na nasa pinas at marami pang iba . Pero nagulat ako sa na-discover ko nga pagdating ko dito, tila mas marami pa yung m2m action kesa sa mga nabanggit ko (naipakita ba ito sa movie na Dubai?). Na-alala ko tuloy sinabi ng father ko bago ako pumunta dito “Baka pagdating mo dun ay maging bakla ka?”. “matagal na po” sasabihin ko sana hehe kaso di pwede hehehe. Now I know what he meant when he said that to me.
Pero I remind you, working here is not always like living in a gay wonderland, syempre may mga hardships din dito. Kailangan ma-deskarte ka rin sa buhay dito para maka-survive. By the way I found a way to get around the pesky censorship here. Which makes me think if I should be thanking Him for the gift of proxy & Hotspot Shield? hmmm…
May 9th, 2008 at 4:56 am
hahaha! This reminds me of my older sister’s story about what happened in Dubai (She’s an OFW there working in a bank). Nwei the goes like this she received an e-mail which if translated it would look like “My dog past away last Thursday” but the true thought of the mail is that the one who sent it was requesting/reminding her about the bonus that was discussed last Thursday. When I heard the story I really laughed. Another incident was with her fellow friend Male engineer. She said her friend was asked by a fellow engineer which is a local it goes like this “coming or not coming?”(are you going to work or not?) her friend just said “coming”.

Hi Tsinitoboy, i am contemplating of going to Dubai just for the experience coz i really heard a lot from my gay friends whose in there enjoying their life as in sex life, i just don’t know if you have to pay or being paid…lol but nevertheless, just thinking of how they enjoy their life esp. their sex life i guess in which i don’t have in here sa US(or i just don’t like caucasians)yah, i guess so for i’ve been here for 5 yrs now but don’t have a single sexual encounter(imagineeeee!!!!)am i choosy, guess so, don’t want them(o baka ‘la lang makuha o magkagusto sa akin…huhuhu)but don’t go out in here, wala naman kasing barkada na mga gays, puro work lang dito sa tate, kaya is it okey if i go there and work kahit one yr lang at ng maranasan ko naman itong buhay ng gay sa Dubai, i like the beauty of Arabs minus the smell if meron nga, but most of all i like Pinoys if dyan ako makakakuha ng magiging papa ko why not, para maiba naman at di naman ako tumanda ng virgin, what do you think? is it a good idea, i’ll be going home anyway in 5 yrs time sa atin, just to do all the things that i want to do at siguro isa ito sa gusto kong gawin ang magwork sa Dubai coz open city naman sya and to experience all this things, so payong kafatid okey ba, if available ka nga total type ko naman ang mga tsinito why not…hahaha btw, im a nurse here, madali kaya ang makakuha ng work dyan as a nurse.Take care and it will be nice if i can meet you sa Pinas or punta ka rito sa US.
