Hi Everyone! Im back! Its been awhile since my last post. Its just that I have been very busy with work etc... as you all know im back here in bahrain again. Doing the same old shit. but hey dont get me wrong, i love my job. teee hee. Even if my hubby's back in Philippines, sob sob, I still find the time to check on him every now and then. As a matter of fact, we have just finished chatting... so I would like to give A BIG THANK YOU to Skype.
On the other hand, my bandmates and I were invited to a get-together at this Island here in Bahrain called "Amwaj" The place is so nice. its like youre in Venice. Anyway, Ill be uploading the photos here soon. But for the meantime heres a group pic of my band in Amwaj Island.
Sometimes, I get commented by friends, usually the straight ones that.. "Ui, sobra na yang pagmamahal mo" or "Hala, OVER na yan" or worse.."Hoy, mahalin mo naman sarili mo" Is there a length or measurement of affection if you really care for one person? I mean c'mon. I'm sure we already know the answer of that question by now. Yet, I'll try to elaborate on that last comment.
Of course, I LOVE MYSELF. We should all do.
The first, most important and best relationship each of us must have is our relationship with ourselves. After all, we are the ONLY person that we are each going to spend our ENTIRE life with. If we do not love ourselves first, then we can not fully love someone else, they can not fully love us, and our relationship will be full of holes.
These holes begin to fill up with ego, selfishness, need, possessiveness, competiveness, misunderstanding and a bunch of other relationship destroying things that happen when we don’t have a loving and enlightened awareness of ourselves first.
Once we each truly understand who we are and why we are the way we are, we then learn to like, love and appreciate ourselves and our individual uniqueness. In other words, we stand in our own light with self-knowledge and awareness. At that point, we will be able to have and experience unqualified, unconditional and limitless love with any and all other beings that we encounter in our lives. This is because, as we know ourselves, we know all others.
Doing so, without any form of judgment, gives us the opportunity to enhance our own and each other’s Lives.
Isn’t this why we are all “here”, and why we have relationships with each other, so that we can have and share our vast and varied Life experiences, to help each other awaken, learn, grow and evolve spiritually, sexually, emotionally? So, if you have had one, are in one or eventually do experience one, view it with love, appreciation and the knowledge that it happened so that you and your partner could each grow and become better and more evolved beings.
So I guess by now you will not ask me why, how, or how did it happen? Just embrace Life with LOVE.
You see, I'll be staying away from my Hubby for an indefinite period of time and sometimes I get to thinking that maybe I'll lose my confidence in myself and will be very desperate even though we have very good communication. But then again, when I think of the immense pleasure once I am going to come home and see his smling face, it is worth going through the pain. Well, I made this post real special for a very good friend of mine, TJ, whose partner left overseas. I know I may not be able to comfort her during these times but I hope reading this might help.
Whoever first said "out of sight out of heart", and many are having a feeling that the intimacy between partners will be lost to a certain extend when they are separated by distance. Still we have to find ways to hold on to our long distance lover. Career can pull anyone across the globe provided the opportunity is grand enough. The durability of a relationship depends on the compatibility, understanding and trust between partners.
Any relation, whether short or long distance, need a sound foundation of trust. Nobody can carry on a relation based on doubts, deception and constant fear of breaking each other’s trust. It is very easy for lying and making innocent mistakes which can make you doubt since you are staying separate at different places. Naturally there is a tendency to be independent when you stay alone but you shouldn’t have separate lives even though you live separately.
When your beloved is miles away from you, remember you are not alone and your partner is also going through the same situation. It is not easy going through the lonely days and waiting for endless night. Sometimes, you may feel like running into the arms of your beloved and sometimes feel like you are waiting for nothing.
I think the secret is just believing in oneself and learn to trust the person you love and focus on the future and make plans to live together eventually. and yes, I believe that long distance relationship really do exist.

As I traveled through life, I lived through all or most of this questions many times over, only to have each career thwarted and curtailed for the simple crime of being gay. I started out anew, summoning up resources I had within me, and some I didn’t realize I had, and each time was a new adventure, a new opportunity to learn and experience life afresh and wonderful in its glory, challenges and disappointments.
Eventually I came to realize that the original career path I had chosen would have led to a boring and spirit-numbing life; that would have been true of any single one I embarked upon. Instead, I have had a richer and more varied life, I have accomplished many more things, and I have made a difference whatever I did. None of this has been easy, and often making the changes and adjustments required much courage, but I think I am a better person for having traveled through life in this way.
On my previous post, I was talking about network sites and that I'm not familiar with Facebook in particular. Well you know what, I could've stayed like that. or never got interested on that site. because I got hooked. I got addicted to facebook (er.....till now). It felt like you have to make it your priority or else its your "Restaurant" or "Farm" business. hahaha. There is this one time that I have been staring at the monitor for 2 straight hours (no kidding) I just observed how my crops grew. I was also waiting for it to be harvested. weird huh? LOL. After that, I felt like my heads about to explode. LOL
Anyway, Im already sober and rehabilitated. so Im back with my blogging.
You know when you're just standing there, minding your own business, and then some song comes on from hell-know's-where, and it just reminds you of your awesome partner (or companion, if you're that way inclined). A few days from now it'll be another memorable day for both of us and I have ran out of ideas on how to surprise him. (silly me) lol. Since we both love music, I thought it would be nice to make a compilation CD for him. I made my own cover of the songs with an acoustic feel. And this time to make it more personal, I will be singing the songs. Please bear with the squeeking and etc... lol. Here's a list of songs that reminded me of my amazing hubby, Pierre. Now, I think it would be nice to share it with you guys. You can download the whole compilation here
Well, as a matter of fact, I'd love to share the details of how, when and why they hit me so hard, but I guess its way toooooo uber personal. hahaha. Just wanted to let you know guys that even now, I can't even think about these songs without gettin' all tore up (sometimes even at work, which can be quite embarrassing!). lol
I find it quite difficult to be unaffected by what people think or say about me. I’m human, I’m a social being. I need other people around me to feel happy, I need them to share my grieve. Of course that means that you have to open up for other people and let them be part of your life. That also means that along the way you’re bound to get hurt or that someone is going to flatter you for the wrong reasons. Learning to deal with that is an important part of growing up. But I also have learned that sometimes wisdom comes in the form of criticism. If you take a minute to think about what people are actually saying, you will find that very often there is an element of truth. You may not like the packaging, but there still is a little present inside. If you think it is worthwhile you can keep it, if not you can throw it away.
Compliments and criticisms are like rain drops striking the roof of a house: they just roll right on off. But if you want you can catch them and use them to grow something beautiful. - Pierre+Angelo
To enjoy life to the fullest by being yourself (in every circumstance) no matter what anyone else says. There’s no need to stress over what other people say, because if one person doesn’t like you, there are still plenty of other people who will… Live your dreams. Know what you really want deep inside and what you really think that is good for you. Some people are not that open-minded to understand the happiness of us, PLU's but having faith and trust on oneself and valuing the uniqueness of others experiences, maybe perhaps the key to bliss.
No one is guaranteed happiness, life just gives us space and time, it’s up to us to fill it with joy and meaning… in the long run, pessimists may be proven right, but the optimist has a better time on the trip.
Please let me know what you think and tell me what makes you grin inside.
Twas quite an interesting question when I was asked by my STRAIGHT friends regarding about GAY LOVE.
Is love a decision someone has to make? Should I decide first before loving a person? Isn’t it that love is not something that you decide upon but is something that comes naturally?
Well in my experience, yes…or it could be. though the feeling is there, you still have to decide if you’re going through with the whole process of loving that person. making your love be for that person. I’m 28 and fell in love with my Hubby 7 years younger than me, I had to make a decision... a BIG decision if I will act upon my love or will I set this one free? I guess if only the love is felt by both, like the person you like loves you too then the only decision to make is will you have the courage to take the chance with it. Once again, my answer would be yes.... OR just take the risk if you really have the "butterfly-in-the-gut" feeling towards that guy. Its better to love and fall out of it than never love at all.
The Michael Jackson Tribute song Better on the Other Side Lyrics and music are a collaboration from The Game, Usher, Chris Brown, Diddy, Polow Da Don, Mario Winans, and Boyz II Men and produced by DJ Khalil According to MTV News, the production was completed on the morning after the June 25, 2009 Michael Jackson death and you can read a line by line description of the song’s structure and the contributions of each individual here.
The song had its debut on L.A. radio station Power 106 on June 26, 2009 on “Big Boy’s Neighborhood” as well as well as on DJ Skee’s satellite radio show, “Skeetox.”
Some of the Better on the Other Side lyrics:
Diddy: “I believed I can do anything / You made the world dance. You made the music come to life.”
The Game: “Who’s Michael Jackson? / You’re Michael Jackson / I’m Michael Jackson / We all Michael Jackson.”
Chris Brown on the hook: “This the type of song that make the angels cry / Look up in the sky and I wonder why / Why you had to go, go? I know it’s better on the other side.”
The MJ Tribute song celebrates and encapsulates the legacy of the King of Pop whose Thriller album was the best selling album in music history and but one of his many accomplishments, recognized by induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, and 13 Grammy Awards and worldwide album and singles sales totaling more than 750 million.
[Diddy talking] I remember the first time i seen you moonwalk, I believed I could do anything, you made the world dance, you made the music come to life
[Chris brown - Chorus] This the type of song that make the angels cry, i look up in the sky and i wonder why? why you had to go, go I know its better on the other side, you were chosen from the start never gon let you go,
[The Game] Whos Michael Jackson, Your Michael Jackson, Im Michael Jackson, We all Michael Jackson, I guess what Im asking is everybody bow their head for a legend dont breathe for a second, now let the air out, grab the hand of somebody you care about, so you can hear my message, my confession, someone tell Usher, i seen the moonwalk, i guess the young thriller touched him, like he touched me, like he touched you, so carry on his legacy, something i must do, so i trust you lighting candles, concrete visuals, me and my brothers listen to jackson 5 in the living room, first thing i did when i heard was call puff, cos him and Mike tried to stop the beef between us, who was us? Me and fifty, that beef is dead, him and Mike Jackson gonna take us to the ledge.
[Chorus]
As Im pouring out this liquor candles start to flicker, when list (?) my air ones, MJ was my nier. Not the one that play ball, the one with the hollywood star, and since im a hollywood star imma tell you my story, [Courtesy of KillerHipHop.com] never had a family that close, never see Barry Gordy walking through interscope, just like me they always had Mike in a scope, no matter what you say, imma love him and hes still dope, let me take you back to 85 when i was in a zone, dancing for my momma thriller jacket with all the zippers on, now im doing 90 bout to crash in this Aston, listening to Outcast, Im sorry Mrs Jackson [Damn - Dope line from Game - KillerHipHop.com] anything i can ever do to better you your son was our king so we wont Corretta you, Im writing this letter to all the Jackson kids, we all Jackson kids, time to let us through.
[Chorus]
[Boys II Men] This the kind of song that make the angels cry, look up in the sky and ask God, why o why why Do we live and let die This the kind of song that make the angels cry, look up in the sky and ask God, why o why why Do we live and let, live and let die. [End]
well, i find myself surrounded by music. music has been my life since I for once a member of a band. I tend to be a bit shy and quiet in social situations, groups, etc. However, one-on-one, I can hold my own quite well. I love meeting new people and
really getting to know what they are about. I'm idealistic and optimistic. I enjoy conversation; both talking and listening. I am independent and enjoy my alone time, but still love spending time out with my friends. I am quite relaxed and easy going. I am extremely loyal to those that I care about and have difficulty relating to those that are overly dramatic without just cause. I believe things can always be simplified in life and thus find high drama very overwhelming and draining of energy.
To put it simply, my idea of a perfect evening involves lots of laughter, good food and wine and most importantly great people to enjoy it with! Honestly, I think that sentence does a better job of describing me than any drawn out, exaggerated description I could write about myself.
