The Believers men and women, are protectors one of another: they enjoin what is just, and forbid what is evil: they observe regular prayers, practice regular charity, and obey Allah and His Messenger. On them will Allah pour His mercy: for Allah is Exalted in power, Wise. (71) Allah hath promised to Believers men and women Gardens under which rivers flow, to dwell therein, and beautiful mansions in Gardens of everlasting stay. but the greatest bliss in the Good Pleasure of Allah: that is the Supreme Felicity. (72) O Prophet! strive hard against the Unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be firm against them. Their abode is Hell― an evil refuge indeed. (73) They swear by Allah that they said nothing (evil), but indeed they uttered blasphemy, and they did it after accepting Islam; and they meditated a plot which they were unable to carry out: this revenge of theirs was (their) only return for the bounty with which Allah and His Messenger had enriched them! If they repent, it will be best for them; but if they turn back (to their evil ways), Allah will punish them with a grievous penalty in this life and in the Hereafter: they shall have none on earth to protect or help them. (74) Amongst them are men who made a covenant with Allah, that if He bestowed on them of His bounty they would give (largely) in charity, and be truly amongst those who are righteous. (75) But when He did bestow of His bounty, they became misers and turned back (from their covenant), averse (from its fulfillment). (76) So He hath put as a consequence hypocrisy into their hearts, (to last) till the Day whereon they shall meet Him: because they broke their Covenant with Allah, and because they lied (again and again). (77) Know they not that Allah doth know their secret (thoughts) and their secret counsels, and that Allah knoweth well all things unseen? (78) Those who slander such of the Believers as give themselves freely to (deeds of) charity as well as such as can find nothing to give except the fruits of their labour and throw ridicule on them,― Allah will throw back their ridicule on them: and they shall have a grievous penalty. (79) Whether thou ask for their forgiveness or not, (their sin is unforgivable): if thou ask seventy times for their forgiveness, Allah will not forgive them: because they have rejected Allah and His Messenger; and Allah guideth not those who are perversely rebellious.

How to Have Better Luck with Gay Dating Sites
Online dating is a huge money maker these days and nearly everyone has had a profile on one of these sites at some point. But it can be even harder to find a date on gay dating sites than on predominantly straight sites. The competition on dating sites geared towards the gay community is extremely fierce. You've got to have something pretty great to offer to get the kind of attention you are looking for. Your approach is going to differ depending on whether you are a gay male or a lesbian. So for the purposes of this article, all advice will be geared towards men. I will write a similar article for the lesbian community at a later time. Follow these tips to increase your odds of getting noticed on gay dating sites.
Instructions
1. First and foremost you must consider what it is you are really looking for. Once you've decided you should check into dating sites that are specifically geared for what it is you're after. If you're looking for casual hookups and meeting new guys without anything serious you need to go with gay adult dating websites. This way everyone there wants the same thing and you don't run the risk of leading a guy on with false hopes of a committed relationship. You'll get exactly what you're in the market for with none of the confusion or hurt feelings. But if you're tired of the casual dating scene and are looking to find Mr. Right, then stay away from adult dating sites. You're not going to find love there. You'll only be setting yourself up for getting hurt. Focus your attention on some of the larger match making sites that have established a good reputation or sites geared toward those seeking a long term relationship. For example gkiss.com is a gay personals site where all members are seeking something more than a one night stand. There are a lot of other websites like this out there to choose from
2. Make your photo count! Your main photo on your dating profile is the most important thing. People will tell you that what you say is the most important, but in reality a guy's not going to see your well written biography if he isn't interested in your pic. So choose wisely! A woman may be able to over look an imperfect photo but gay men have much higher expecations. A very well done headshot is your best bet for your main pic. Of course, be sure to include lots of full body shots as well but you want your main pic to focus on your face. This rule doesn't apply to hookup sites, however, in these instances a full body shot is almost a requirement for your main pic. But whatever photo you use, make it good. Don't take pics of you with your ex. Don't put up a photo that's grainy and bad quality. Make sure the lighting is good, that your skin looks great, that your teeth aren't yellow and that your hair is perfectly done. No one wants a guy who can't take care of himself properly.
3. Really think about the content of your profile. This is a dating advertisement. Treat it as such. Make your profile short and straight forward. Don't go on and on about things. Be sure that your profile is grammatically correct and that everything makes sense. You'll only embarrass yourself with a sloppy profile full of misspellings and incorrect use of punctuation. And believe it or not, intelligence can be a huge turn on for many men. Ignorance however, can cause an interested party to hit the back button.

Dimataling
Dimataling is a 4th class municipality in the province of Zamboanga del Sur, Philippines. According to the 2000 census, it has a population of 25,843 people in 4,949 households.
Dimataling is administratively subdivided into 24 barangays.
* Bacayawan
* Baha
* Balanagan
* Baluno
* Binuay
* Buburay
* Grap
* Josefina
* Kagawasan
* Lalab
* Libertad
* Magahis
* Mahayag
* Mercedes
* Poblacion
* Saloagan
* San Roque
* Sugbay Uno
* Sumbato
* Sumpot
* Tinggabulong
* Tiniguangan
* Tipangi
* Upper Ludion
With the distinction of being one of Zamboanga del Sur’s oldest towns, Dimataling is a 4th class municipality that is located some 56 kilometers northwest of the province’s capital of Pagadian City. Its geographical coordinates are 7 degrees 31′ 55″ North and 123 degrees 21′ 59″ East. According to the census, as of 2000, Dimataling has a population of 25,843 people in 4,949 households. All the 24 barangays are distributed over 141.8 square kilometers of land, majority of which are flat lands and rolling lands. Those who want to go to Dimataling will find that it is accessible via land and sea via Pagadian City.
Dimataling was originally inhabited by Muslims during its initial creation on June 17, 1950. Like most of the municipalities and towns of Zamboanga del Sur, settlers eventually came in, although not as many as those in major municipalities such as Midsalip or Aurora. Most of the migrants who came in are Christians, mostly Cebuanos, and until now, both peoples are co-existing peacefully with each other. Muslims and Subanens, however, are still the prevalent group of people and their customs are the ones that a visitor will often see in their first trip to the place.
Dimataling is mostly an agricultural town, with cassava, bananas, and copra as its main products. Since the town is also coastal, by Illana Bay, fishing is also another source of livelihood. The bananas produced in Dimataling, in particular, are quite popular with the neighboring municipalities and even out of the province. Banana production started small, with only several farmers planting the crop. However, upon discovering that there is indeed money to be had with the crop, other farmers followed suit until it became the a major crop of the municipality. The bananas that Dimataling produce are usually of the cardava variety and they are usually made into chips and other banana products.
With the construction of the concrete provincial road that leads from Dimataling to Pitogo, it is assumed that more and more people and industries will find its way into this lovely municipal town.

MeTube, YouTube
Been trawling the deep dark recesses of YouTube lately during my random breaks at the office. A necessary evil, this. Keeping your sanity in the face of 200 page agreements dictate as such.
YouTube. The best thing since sliced bread, then. Never have voyeuristic pleasures been so well-catered for. One website with a seemingly limitless supply of snapshots from other people's lives.
You’d be amazed at the stuff you’ll find there these days. I’ve even devised a game of amusement built around YouTube’s searchable database. It goes a little something like this:
(1) Open YouTube.
(2) Click on the search tab.
(3) Key in the first thing that comes into your head.
(4) Click on the first video that appears.
The results are usually quite amusing.
Last week, the words “lady” and “driver” popped in my head, no thanks to a frustrating encounter with one earlier in the. What I found was this:

The Abusive Relationship
The following is a true account of what happened to my friend. Names have been changed to protect the identity of the persons involved.
Richard, a white gay male who is in his late 40s, have been dating Simon, a Asian gay male who is in his mid-20s. During their courtship, Richard would always ask Simon over for dinner and sex. Richard is just the perfect male specimen and a dream-guy of every young man. He's a gentleman, a good cook in French and Italian cuisine, acquires a vast knowledge about wine, impeccable command of English and other foreign languages and above all, he's very good in bed and Simon admits that it was the best sex he ever had.
You may think this guy seems to good to be true and it's impossible that there is a perfect man out there like him. Well, you're right. Richard does have his flaws; he sleeps around with any guy he could get, even to the extent of going to a neighbouring country just to have fun with other guys.
When he comes back, he would boast on how great his sex adventures was to Simon without realising this hurt Simon deeply in the heart. To Richard, Simon is just one of those guys he have fun with and there isn't any feeling of love being involved and Simon knows this as a fact. In return, Simon would also tell Richard about his great ONS with a guy and that's it!
Richard was furious and upset and he thought Simon was comparing him with that guy and it makes Richard felt inferior about his sex skill but it was not Simon's intention at all to make Richard feel so. He was just doing what Richard has done all these while, by speaking out how great his sex fun with other guys. So why can't Simon do the same?
Richard said it's fine with him that Simon have fun with other guys but it's wrong of Simon to tell him about it. Don't you think Richard is being selfish and ego-maniac? Oh! So now, he is the only one who can talk about his great sex but not Simon? This is unfair! He's making such a huge issue out of it as though Simon is all wrong and he's right.
After that incident, Richard still keep talking about his fun with other guys to Simon. What's his intention? Simon couldn't take it anymore after being psychologically abused and cut off ties with him and blocked him from his MSN Messenger Chat. I'm glad that Simon has finally taken up enough courage to leave him for good but only time will heal the wound.

To Wear or Not To Wear
This is not about clothing but condom. Some gay men prefer to have safe sex and would only fuck or let the other guy fuck with condom but I’m sure every man out there, be it straight or gay would like to have sex without having to wear anything around their penis but it seems to be an impossible these days since the existence of STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) and the most fearing of all... AIDS.
Recently, a female singer from an all-girl group in Germany was charged and trial for having unprotected sex with men without disclosing to the men that she has HIV positive and unfortunately, one of the men she had sex with has been infected with the virus. The irony is the name of the pop group is No Angels.
So the next time you find a hot sexy hunk or a cute young teenage boy from those gay personal sites and wanted to have sex with him, do you believe him if he told you he is clean, and very healthy from any disease? Do you believe his words? What is your prevention from getting any if he lies? What if he’s those who has infected with the virus from other men and he felt angry and wanted to take revenge but he can’t find that guy as he doesn’t know which guy passed the disease to him and so, he take it out to other guys who sleep with him. What happens if you’re the next guy? Are you willing to take the risk?
I know some would say, “Well, we are all going to die eventually. It’s just a matter of time so why bother about such thing. Life is short. Have fun!” Yes, I agree that life is short and we should live life to the fullest but it doesn’t mean we can go risking our lives like that. Honestly, I don’t think anyone would like to spend their old days looking at the effect of the disease on their skin and body. Who wants to suffer at such old age? Don’t you wish to spend your golden age enjoying life slowly and healthily?
No wonder some gay would end their lives once they found out they have the disease because they cannot face the future with the virus in their body. Well, at the end of the day, the decision is in your hands and your future lies in the decision you make today.
To wear or not to wear? You make the decision.

It's finally Over!
After six seasons with a total of ninety-four episodes, I can finally announce that I have finished watching the complete series of the show Sex and the City. I have been deprived of so many sleeps over the months just to catch up on this show.
I don't know what is so addictive about the series even after I've finished watching it. It could be the hilarious lines or the hot men featured along each episode but if you asked me if it's good or whether I would recommend others to watch, my answer would be this-Watch it if you have the free time.
I'm not saying it's not good but I still can't see what makes me attracted to it in the first place. I know, it's a weird feeling because it's either you love it or hate it but for me, I can't even say I like it. When my friend asked how's the show or if I like it, I say, "It's ok."
Honestly, I have never watched any TV show or series in its entire complete seasons. I like the series 24 starring Kiefer Sutherland as the agent Jack Bauer but I watched until the fifth season and never got a chance to continue because my friend borrowed it from another friend and the lending process just kind of stopped. Maybe I should get my hands on it and continue watching because it has only eight seasons and that means three more seasons for me to complete it.
So, what TV series/show have you watched in its entire seasons that you think it's good? Do recommend me some as I'm running out of shows to watch.

Dating=Lying
Why do people lie and pretend to be the best when they're dating someone? Just to impress that person so that he or she would like you in return? And what's next after you got him or her in a relationship? Without realising, you will return back to your normal self. You don't find it necessary anymore to impress your lover because he's yours already.
Let's take a comparison on a heterosexual dating couple during the dating period and after they have confirmed to be in a relationship.
Scenario 1
Dating
Girl: Do I look nice in this dress?
Man: You look fabulous. You're the prettiest.
After
Girl: Do I look nice in this dress?
Man: You still think you're young? You look the same no matter what you wear.
Scenario 2
Dating
Man: What do you want to eat?
Girl: Sushi.
Man: Ok, let's go.
After
Man: What do you want to eat?
Girl: Sushi.
Man: Don't want lah. So expensive.
Scenario 3
Dating
Man: I love you baby.
Girl: I love you too, hubby.
After
Girl: How come you don't say 'I love you' anymore to me?
Man: Eee.... so gross.
Scenario 4
Dating
Girl: We have not been going out for the whole week already.
Man: I'm sorry baby. I have been busy with work. I promise next week I'll take you out, ok?
After
Girl: We have not been going out for the whole week already.
Man: You think I got no work, is it?
Scenario 5
Dating
Girl: How's the taste? This is my first time cooking porridge.
Man: No matter what you cook, it taste sweet.
After
Girl: How's the taste? This is my first time cooking pasta.
Man: You try your own.
Why do we change our tone and way of speech after we got the other half in a stable relationship? Are we putting a mask when we go out dating the potential? Are we pretending to be someone else? Why are we hiding our true self? Why are we trying to be so polite and sweet during the dating period but all those sweet talks are gone once the relationship is stable. Why?

Dating
Girl: We have not been going out for the whole week already.
Man: I'm sorry baby. I have been busy with work. I promise next week I'll take you out, ok?
After
Girl: We have not been going out for the whole week already.
Man: You think I got no work, is it?
Scenario 5
Dating
Girl: How's the taste? This is my first time cooking porridge.
Man: No matter what you cook, it taste sweet.
After
Girl: How's the taste? This is my first time cooking pasta.
Man: You try your own.
Why do we change our tone and way of speech after we got the other half in a stable relationship? Are we putting a mask when we go out dating the potential? Are we pretending to be someone else? Why are we hiding our true self? Why are we trying to be so polite and sweet during the dating period but all those sweet talks are gone once the relationship is stable. Why?

What to Eat?
Have you ever walked around a mall's food court and don't know what to eat? Have you experienced looking at the food menu of a restaurant for so long that you still cannot decide what to order? I have this difficulty and it's not just once in awhile but it's happening every single time I'm in a food court or even in a restaurant.
I can keep reading the menu repeatedly for so many times from cover to cover but still cannot decide what to eat and I'm usually the last one to decide regardless whether I have company or I'm alone. The only place I don't have to worry about this decision making is the buffet because everything is laid out for you to take and eat and I can try a little bit of every dish.
Every time I go to the mall, I will have difficulty in what to eat and it starts on which food outlet I should go to; food court, restaurants, cafe, fast food? If I have decided restaurant, the next question is which restaurant? I will usually stand at the information map to read the list of restaurants listed there and see which one to choose. Next, after I went into the restaurant, the waiter will hand me the menu and I will take so long to choose what to eat.
Do you have this difficulty in you when you want to eat? How do you decide what to eat and where to eat? Any method?

Blood Bath
mga parekoy, received this forwarded email msg this morning. thought of sharing this to all my readers and fellow bloggers. hope this would give us all clearer insight and a peek on the other side of the unfortunate event that shook the whole world yesterday.
Postcripts Of A BloodBath
by Bang Lu Min
(One of the Hostages)
Mr. Mendoza was already upset even before he saw on television what the policemen did to his brother. The other tourists who remained inside the bus were complaining. Wei Ji Jiang wanted to go to the bathroom. Dao Chi Yu was hungry and the rest were just groaning and whining like they have forgotten that our lives rest in Mr. Mendoza's hands.
The hostage taker, as you know him was really nice. He treated us okay and even let the elders and the children leave the bus. He said your policemen treated him unfairly. He was a policeman too and was accused of doing something he had no knowledge of. But your government didn't listen so he used us to get everyone's attention.
Things would have never turned for the worst if he didn't see how his family was dragged out of their house and taken into custody. He was watching the news all the time as we huddled around each other behind the bus. He shouted some words in your language then started shooting in the air. A girl about my age started screaming. Mr. Mendoza demanded her to stop but she didn't understand English. God, he had to slash her neck with a knife just to put her to rest. Her boyfriend who tried to hit him was shot in the head.
Tension was rising. You can see in his face how scared and confused he was. The bus driver ran away leaving him alone with strangers from a distant land. I can see him walking across the aisle, sometimes pointing his machine gun to one of the tourists. But he tried his best not to hurt us, especially those who really cooperate.
I guess its in your nature not to inflict pain on others unless it was necessary. I remember him saying that he will free us before sundown and implored us to forget everything when we return home. But his words don't matter now. The policemen were trying to force their way in, while we all lied down to shield ourselves from bullets. Mister Mendoza blindly shoots at his enemies which I think kept them from rescuing us. I hear sobs under the chairs. Some were even shouting the names of their loved ones even when the air merely eat their words. Kevin Tang tried to escape when the glass door was was shattered, but one shot and he slumped on the floor with blood gushing from his mouth.
Heavy rain pitter-pattered on the rooftop. In old Chinese saying, it means an end to a struggle. Finally, somebody was able to open the escape hatch at the back of the bus. Freedom. But I knew Mister Mendoza was still alive. I knew he was just waiting for a chance to strike back at his enemies. So I told those around me not to escape. Let the authorities come for us instead. Then there was gunfire. He was firing at his enemies with a machine gun. Those who were at the escape hatch fled abandoning us once again. It's like a nightmare with no end and to wake up means a certain death. Then somebody from outside the bus threw a canister. It forced out a black smoke that is so painful to the eyes and putrid smelling to the nose. People started screaming. We cannot breathe. Some ran in front of the bus but Mister Mendoza warned them of stray bullets. It was too late. One was hit on the head, the other was hit on the shoulders. Bullets were now flying. Its like the authorities thought we were all dead. Mister Mendoza finally realizes his mistake and said sorry to everyone, dead or alive. He then ran towards the front of the bus where he would meet his maker. As he passed by my chair with bullets whistling overhead, I clutched my hand on the velvet curtain and wrapped it around my face. All I could think of was to stay alive - for my child who is waiting for me back in Xinjang. I know I will survive,
I will come home.

He was discovered by Joross Gamboa while the latter was performing in Gen. Santos City, where Gerald is based. Joross introduced him to his manager, Jun Reyes, who then brought him to ABS-CBN to join PBB Teen Edition.
He rose to fame when he placed third overall in the first Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition with 293,234 votes. He was billed as the Amboy Hottie from General Santos City.

Jericho Rosales joined Star Circle 4 in 1997. On the small screen, he was featured in several Maalaala Mo Kaya episodes, Pangako sa 'Yo, Sana'y Wala Nang Wakas and Ang Panday. The telenovela Pangako sa 'Yo made him a common household name, not only in the Philippines, but also in other South East Asian Countries as well, such as Malaysia.
He was discovered in a local noontime show, Eat Bulaga, after winning Mr. Pogi, a male looks and personality contest in 1996.
His acting in the episode of Maalaala Mo Kaya (Pasa) earned him his first Best Actor Star Award from the PMPC.
His transition to the big screen was an effortless one and his stand-out performances in critically-acclaimed films such as Tanging Yaman, Bagong Buwan, Noon at Ngayon, Santa Santita, and Nasaan Ka Man sealed his status as a serious actor. His last feature film was the life story of world boxing champion Manny Pacquiao wherein he played the lead. The result was another Best Actor Star Award from the PMPC in 2007.
Having recently reinvented himself as a vocalist, Echo makes music with as much passion as he pursues his other loves: performing and surfing.
His first effort, LOOSE FIT, a self-penned 14-song album with his band Jeans was released in Malaysia in 2007 and eventually was picked up for local release by EMI Philippines. Though it made critics heads turn, his tv and film followers were taken aback by the progressive direction that his initial music foray took and sales were tepid.
His 2-night sold out show, Raw Energy, at the Music Museum in 2007 was well received by both critics and the public. It was this collaboration with Philippine music icon Gary Valenciano that put him on the local music map. “Paglisan,” the first single from his latest album JERICHO, released by EMI hit number one in top-rating radio stations. A follow-up single, “Beautiful In My Eyes,” has started to attain similar success, topping public-request lists in top ranked fm stations Love Radio and Baranggay LS.

Dennis Trillo's career in entertainment started in 2001, when he was introduced as one of the young talents for the 10th batch of Star Circle, ABS-CBN Network’s artist machinery (now known as Star Magic). He was seen in the television soap opera 'Sa Dulo ng Walang Hanggan'(2001) as Jojo the confidante of one of the lead stars. Despite his exposure, Trillo’s career did not really take off.

He was also in Mano Po 3: My Love.
2005 proved to be a more fruitful year for Trillo. He was part of the hit TV adaptation of the Mars Ravelo comic, 'Darna,' where he played Efren/Lalaking Ahas the love interest of both the titular super-heroine as well as her archenemy Valentina. He was later part of the drama anthology 'Now and Forever: Agos,' where he again showcased his acting prowess. That same year he reprised his role for 'Mulawin: The Movie,' and was also in the film 'Blue Moon' and "Blue Moon' as Kyle Pineda.
Dennis was again cast as a lead in 'Etheria'(2005), where he portrayed the Sapirian prince, Raquim. He also appeared in popular television fantasy series aptly called 'Majika'(2006) as Argo, a provocatively clad Salamanca (wizard) with finesse in archery who teaches his protégée Sabina (Angel Locsin) how to hone her craft and become a powerful sorceress. Aside from his television show, Dennis also starred in the horror-suspense film 'Pamahiin'(2006) as Noah.
Recognizing his passion for making music, GMA also included him as a co-host for the network's noontime show 'SOP' where he also displays his talent for drums as part of the show's Starband.
While playing Rod Henson in 'Magdusa Ka'(2008), he replaced Gabby Concepcion in 'I.T.A.L.Y. (I Trust and Love You)'(2008) as Paolo Guzman. After leading the soldiers of 'Zaido: Pulis Pangkalawakan'(2007) he is slated to take the lead in the tv series 'Gagamboy'(2008).

I guess every gay guy feels it already during the early childhood. I did, but with the constant warnings from he people around most gays tend to deny it and try to be straight. About 4 or 5, I knew I was already DIFFERENT, I hated contact sports, that’s why I never learned to play basketball. I’d rather play with my female cousins than the male ones. I was also a mama’s boy, I liked watching her cook, sew, and do things around the house. I also tried to learn these things, I could do light cooking at an early age, I’d look in my mom’s ‘retaso’ and find some cloth that could be made into dresses for my cousin’s Barbie.
But even with these all, I denied what was inside me and told myself I was straight, this is because of the negative things I hear about being gay, yayas saying it’s bad to be gay, uncles threatening to beat me up if they find out that I am gay, etc. etc. etc., and I also saw that gays were usually laughed at and were rarely taken seriously.
That is why I decided to fight it, it wasn’t that hard, I wasn’t really obvious, I was a bit ‘mahinhin’, though. But during that time, I was attracted to girls, I didn’t even looked at boys. Then when I was about 6 years old, I got to watch straight porn; I believe I wasn’t able to sleep, I went down and my parents were watching something I couldn’t understand, but every now and then they would make me cover my eyes. Curious of what I wasn’t supposed to see, I peeked. But even before I did, the moaning has already aroused me. Then I saw something I still couldn’t understand. But somehow, I ended up reenacting what I saw with a female cousin who was younger than me, let’s call her L.
L and I would do it whenever we had a chance, then some time later, another cousin became a part of our little secret. Let’s call this cousin K, a few months older than me, that’s why I sometimes call him Kuya, yes, K is a boy. I guess L did it with him when I wasn’t around since they both attended morning classes and I was enrolled in the afternoon.
The three of us would hang around, and it would not take us long to do things young kids shouldn’t be doing. It was better that there were three of us, that way one could be the lookout. It went on for months, then vacation came, L went to the province with an aunt.
Then one time, while I was hanging out with K, we were alone in their house, we started talking about it, telling each other how we missed L. Both confessing that what we loved most was getting a bj from her. Then he said he’d really love to have his dick sucked, that he’d do anything just to feel someone’s mouth around it. I said, “me too.” He suggested we do it ourselves. And we did. Believe it or not, I didn’t mind what I had in my mouth, I was enjoying the wet feeling in my genital, I was enjoying being sucked. It happened a few times, then L came back, but before the vacation was over, my family transferred to Mindanao.When I got to Mindanao, I was still attracted to girls and I was as mahinhin as ever. But the kids here were different, specially the boys; they would run the few meters that separated their their houses from the sea, and bathe naked. I wondered why their dicks looked different, they were already circumcised at 7, even younger. Then I found myself wondering if a circumcised dick would feel differently in the mouth. I guess this is where, or should I say when, my attraction to boys started.
I started having a crush on some of them. But the bathing naked stopped when pubic hair started to grow, which for some was around grade 4 and 5. But every now and then the boys would find a reason to compare their dicks, I usually leave though, not wanting to show mine because I was still uncircumcised, and yet I am still able to glance at some of them, giving me something to fantasize about when I got home. I graduated elementary without incident, I was an honor student and was expected to behave properly. And so, I did.
By this time, I knew I was gay. But I thought of it as a Gay Tendency, something I've heard of on tv. It was something to convince myself that I wasn’t really gay. I am going through a phase, because even if I only fantasize about boys, when I am in front pretty girls, I still get attracted, even aroused; sometimes…
The succeeding events in high school and college will follow in a different post…
By the way, I thought that it might interest the readers to know... L seems to be a Lesbian, acts like one, talks like one, last time I saw her about 8 years ago, she had a crush on a male celebrity, I don't know if she still gets attracted to men now. K is already married with a kid, but he had a gay lover once. And me, I am still single, very much available, but is still hiding in the closet.

Gay Gene?
MGG also posted something about the ‘GAY GENE’.
Well, let me check my family tree…
Father side:
I don’t think my dad is gay, he is a bit like me (medyo mahinhin, maasikaso) but, I don’t think he is. He had an uncle who was gay though. Then none of my uncles is gay. And of my 16 cousins, 8 of whom belongs to the male species, only one’s sexuality is in question, that makes two in our generation. But then there is L, my female cousin who became a lesbo. So, make that 3.
Mother side:
My mom sometimes jokes that maybe she is a tomboy, because she has crushes on actresses and not on actors. But I don’t think so. She has 3 old maid aunts, 2 on her father side, and one on her mother side. My grandfather’s sisters didn’t seem to be lesbo’s, I guess their standards were just too high. My grandmother’s sister on the other hand, seems to be questionable. My mom’s brother was single for so long, that they sometimes think that he might be gay, but he go married last year. Then, none of my grown up cousins seem to be questionable, I don’t know about the younger ones, I’ve never met them.
My family tree indicates that there might be a genetic factor, on my father side, it somehow skipped a generation. On my mother side, people might have stayed single due to high standards, no one is really obvious, but we can never tell. Even I, have high standards, that have to be met before I marry a woman. You didn’t read wrong, and I hadn’t made a typo, one reason I am still in the closet is the fact that I am still considering getting married, if I can find someone good enough to marry. But with this ‘gay gene’, maybe I could contribute to the propagation of the gay population, at least if my children turns out to be gay, they’ll have an understanding father, who might even be able to help them find their true sexuality.

Unexpressable desire?
I have been spying on a security guard in the fast food area of one of the supermarkets here in Cagayan de Oro for more than a year now. He isn't very good looking, but I find him very attractive. At first I just admired how his uniform brings out his butt, I can't help but look whenever he passes by. Then slowly, I started admiring his smile... His face, innocent-looking, he looks kind and gentle...
I always look at him, no! let me rephrase that, I always stare at him every chance I get; but since I am not out, whenever he is about to look my way, I turn away. I believe he never caught me... But last week, I don't know what came into my mind, I was in the fastfood waiting for a friend, when there he was, sitting right across me, reading something... I stared and decided that I would not turn away even if he lsaw me... And so I did, he looked up, and saw me staring, to my surprise he stared back, my heart began beating faster, I was nervous. Our eyes were locked as if communicating something for almost a minute, then my friend arrived. And I had to behave.
I went back the following day, but he wasn't there. I returned the day after, and he was there, but whenever he passed by me, he would always turn away. Or maybe I am just being silly...
Earlier today, I went to the supermarket. I looked at his usual spot, he wasn't there, but when I turned around, there he was. Walking in my direction, looking at me... Our eyes locked again for a few seconds, then he went back to his area... He passed by my table twice, once he talked to a friend and leaned on his friend's table exposing his butt, giving me a much clearer view of something that makes my heart go gaga...
When he, returned to his area again, I was in thought. Is he aware of what is happening, of what he is doing. Or is it just me? Is it just a wishful thinking? But there is nothing I can or will do anyway. But still, I transferred to a table near him. But there are so many people, I can't stare very long, it would be too obvious, i'd look at him every once in a while and sometimes, I think I see him looking at me too.
I received a text message, and I had to go. When I looked up, he wasn't there anymore, I stood to leave, a few steps before reaching a corner, he passed by, looked at me and smiled... and that's all there is for today... I left with this feeling inside me, like i'm a child with a crush on someone. With some butterflies in my stomach...

Drew Schimmer
The quartet of Andrew Schimmer, Kiel Rodriguez, Benj Besa and Jay Aquitania was introduced in Philippine showbiz via the defunct GMA7 sitcom “Kool Ka Lang” in an attempt to duplicate the success of the original “gwapings” trio of Jomari Yllana, Eric Fructuoso and Mark Anthony Fernandez in ABS-CBN’s “Palibhasa Lalake”. Immediately thereafter, they were given much exposure in the weekly adventure series entitled “Kakabakaba Adventures” and in the movie “Gagamboy”. These projects, however, weren’t able to launch them as stars as anticipated and the four went on with their careers individually.
Andrew was, then, given a chance to shine as a teen star in the teleserye “Forever In My Heart” and “Saang Sulok Ng Langit”. He took a break in 2006 after a bout with several intrigues.
In 2007, he tried getting into bodybuilding by joining the Slimmers World Great Bodies as the representative of the Trafalgar Branch of the fitness center. He was adjudged as first runner up in the competition (Grand Prize was awarded to James Mark Banzon).
Upon his return to showbiz, he was instantly offered a role in the movie, Green Paradise, where he starred opposite Cristine Reyes. Although it required him to do some daring scenes, he had no qualms about doing the flick as he was already prepared in doing so.
His appearance in the bold flick opened new doors for him. He was immediately cast in the popular teleserye “Marimar” as “Fernan” and was included in the movies “Apat Dapat, Dapat Apat”, “Pasukob” and “Resiklo”.
Currently, he is busy taping for the soap “Babangon Ako’t Dudurugin Kita” and the upcoming digital movie “Torotot” which is already in post production.
“Torotot” will allow us to appreciate Andrew’s well-sculpted body as he does steamy scenes with the movie’s female lead, Maui Taylor. In the movie, Andrew plays the role of veterinarian who engages in a sensual tryst with his fellow animal-doctor.
Alfred Vargas
Alfred Vargas, born in San Juan, Metro Manila on October 24, 1981, is a Filipino film and TV actor. Vargas started his career as a member of ABS-CBN Star Circle acting workshop batch 10. From there he had his TV role in the drama soap opera Pangako Sa Yo (My Promise to You) from the same network. But this Ateneo de Manila graduate was acting in theater long before the talent scouts lured him into television.
Undoubtedly his breakthrough role came in the film Bridal Shower by Seiko films in which he was able to display his acting potential as a drama actor. This along with the move to the GMA Network opened a slew of opportunities for the young actor.
This move has seen him featured prominently in three notable shows in Philippine television, the daytime drama Daisy Siete and the fantasy series’ Encantadia (as Aquil) and Etheria (as Amarro). His other credits include Laugh to Laugh: Ang Kulit!; I Luv NY and Ang Pagbabago.

20 Life Lesson I Learned in my 20's.
1. If you’re smiling right now, you’re doing something right.
2. It’s not so much what you say that counts, it’ how you make people feel.
3. The biggest mistake you can make is doing nothing because you’re scared to make a mistake.
4. No matter how it turns out, it always ends up just the way it should be. Either you succeed or you learn something. Win-Win.
5. Freedom is the greatest gift. Self-sufficiency is the greatest freedom.
6. If you catch yourself working hard and loving every minute of it, don’t stop. You’re on to something big. Because hard work ain’t hard when you concentrate on your passions.
7. It’s not about getting a chance, it’s about taking a chance. You’ll rarely be 100% sure it will work. But you can always be 100% sure doing nothing won’t work. Sometimes you just have to go for it!
8. Complaining is like slapping yourself for slapping yourself. It doesn’t solve the problem, it just hurts you more.
9. The one with nothing to hide is always the one left standing tall.
10. You can press forward long after you can’t. It’s just a matter of wanting it bad enough.
11. There’s a big difference between knowing and doing. Knowledge is basically useless without action.
12. In work and business, when they need you more than you need them, you have succeeded.
13. Everything that happens in life is neither good nor bad. It just depends on your perspective.
14. We are all weird. And life is weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we call it love.
15. True friendship and true love do sustain the tests of distance and time.
16. You can’t change who you are. You can only change what you know and how you apply this knowledge.
17. It is okay to be angry. It is never okay to be cruel.
18. Even when you feel like you have nothing, someone else likely has far less. Find them and help them. You’ll see why.
19. Having a thousand credentials on the wall will not make you a decent human being. But genuinely helping one person everyday will.
20. Remember, change happens for a reason. Roll with it. It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it.
