I’m writing this on a great early Monday morning — and because to think is to create — what a beautiful week ahead! Here are some quick shorts I thought I’d share here.

1. Cinderella — Lea’s back on stage, essaying no less than the fantabulous character Cinderella. I’m watching towards its run’s tailend, and I’d say theater enthusiasts here should watch too. If you are indeed planning to watch (or have already done so), why don’t you join this pa-contest? It will give you a chance to be read by no-less than Miss Lea Salonga herself, with bonus USD$100 if you get picked as the top winner! Go na!

2. I am amazed by the reach of this blog. In three totally unrelated instances the past week, I was surprised to find out how this blog has reached places and people’s consciousness I’ve never thought possible. One of these was in a party somewhere high up there and posh in Makati, this girl friend (who didn’t know I was MGG’s author) started talking about blogs. I was just listening, feigning indifference. Then she segued to gay blogs. Ohhh was I listening very intently. Then suddenly she said, “Gay blogs? Top of mind, Manila Gay Guy… my gay friends and I check it out regularly and ogle at those featured men!” (And I thought my blog’s differentiator was its wide spectrum — posts ranging from banal to intellectual… eh yung mga lalake lang pala tinitingnan nila! Hahaha!)

3. As I’ve said, MGG is celebrating its 2nd anniversary on the 28th. I was thinking of changing the look of this site, para maiba naman. Anyone out there who can help me do a Wordpress theme renovation? Give me a holler!

4. Online orders have been pouring in for the 2nd edition of Climax magazine — more than 50 orders have been received here at MGG (from all over the globe, take note!) I’m inundated with processing the orders and I’ve actually asked someone to help me out especially with the payment processing and shipping. Karir pala itu! I have only a limited copies so we shall process shipping in the order the payment is received. All who have placed orders, let’s just communicate through email.

5. With this post I’m welcoming my shiny new MacBook to my blogging world — hay, sarap ng may bagong gadget! Hehehe! Next na pag-ipunan, ang bagong iPhone 3G from Globe!

Have a great week everyone! And don’t forget — WORLD PEACE!
