Tag line





"Is your straight man gay enough to be a man?"

I smiled after skillfully reading this tag line written on the shirt of a young man with tattoos and a long hair holding his little daughter's hand and the suitcase on the other as they throd their way to school. I assume, the dad will accompany the little girl for schooling. It is evident that the dad and the daughter is used to this event. -a routine probably. They seems to be dearly talking to each other. I really find it cute.

Was that young dad made that personalised shirt for himself? Haha or a gift from the wife. Well, none of my business. It's beyond my power to jump off the ride I am in now and dare to get the answer from him. (Kaya minsan gusto kong maging mind-reader or an oracle maybe eh)

The thing I can deal on as an aftereffect is the thought of delving deeper onto the tag line.

When a he becomes a she for an outcome of a personal choice or a decision he has to take.

Let me go ahead and address the latter one on this pre-hand part, maiba lang lagi nalang kasi yung una yung idine-describe eh.

A result of a decision that one has to play. It would probably be for a househusband when a man has to take the duty to be the mum under whatever circumstance: a single dad, a husband with a working wife, or a man who has an ample time to do the duties of a mum...and so on. These guys would dare to beat the eggs & have it poached, fry hotdogs, toast a loaf, and brew a coffee on a chilly morning, would be sure of attending to the kids before heading to work, would endure to clean up the kitchen, tuck the bed, swept the floor, go to the market, do the laundry on a hot afternoon every weekends,  and would mind to cook for dinner, fix the table, and tag the lights off on a consoling night.

Aren't they like rare Pokémon to catch?
True, as it is not every day you'll see that kind of dads who will be standing side by side with his son or daughter giving a kid a break-a-leg kiss as a school program will start,  a dad waiting in line for an hour to fetch his child, and a dad delivering a 'baon' (Nakakamiss makakita ng ganito in a school premise) Salute to these guys!

Ini-huli ko talaga yung una kasi medyo sensitive. Cos I will be taking off the word 'straight' and this will leave you with: "Is your man gay enough to be a man?" (Sana di ako mabato ng kamatis)

From an article entitled "Ang Ipis na Feeling Butterfly" (folio, 2015) I read, the word gay colloquially coined as 'bakla' is referring to a person who is 'takot' or 'duwag'. But technically on my lit-understanding gay highly means happy. When a he became a she as per option of freeing oneself and embrace their happiness it is indeed being gay and being happy.

Gays can be equated to joy as well. They can make you laugh even they themselves aren't happy. They can care more than they care about themselves. And some times being abuse because they give more than what they have.

But unlike rare Pokémon, they are every where: TV shows, movies, commercials, fx, trains, mall, food chain, kahit anong propesyon, at minsan katabi mo (wag mo nang tingnan mahahalata tayo...mapaaway ka pa) They can make people smile and some times giggle (kung mala-Chris Evans and John Lloyd lang naman ano ka pa? Eh di nganga). They promote positive outlook towards life by unfettering oneself.

How did I say that gays became men they can ever be? There are some gays who chose to build a family with a woman and have their own kids, living to be who they are but aren't neglecting the duties to be dads. There are some gay couples who adopt children, functioning to be what they wanted and loved eventually sharing the love of being a whole family. And some gays, performing as the soul for their biological families. Pushing their best to be worth every single events that unfolds to serve as bread winners for their tatay, nanay, kapatid,  pamangkin, kapid-bahay, at even just a kakilala. These people wouldn't falter giving out themselves selflessly. So hayaan nalang natin ang pagsasaboy nila ng ganda sa sanlibutan, ang kumontra at dedma sa pansitan. True! --bawal and nega. Salute to these gays!

Boiling down to the specific, a man is man enough until they live gay enough to stand on things that they ought to without limiting what one can do. Live to be limitless. Live free.

Drafted Names

It took time for me to scribe these lovely names.--I hope they won't let me down.

A week before today I started to think and to scribe the names of a few people close to my heart for a dream I wish to fulfill few months from now.

The list is composed of ...
-A strong-determined lady from Bulacan
-A good pair of loving mother & child
-A work oriented SME and the Team Lead Boyfriend
-A love-birds from UK and WF
-A super-duper beautiful breadwinner sweetheart
-A kindhearted brilliant son (from my 2010-11 class)
-A good free spirited kick out lad (from my 2013-14 class)
-A literary sweetheart from good ol'days
-A Padre Pio devotee 'girl'friend
-A baby-for-keeps (from my 2010-11 class)
-A fit-spirit loving mom for her Heaven
-A sweet lovely daughter (from my 2010-11 class)
-A silent smart girl with dimples (from my 2010-11 class)
-A caring sweetie (from my 2013-14 class
-A guitar sweetie (from my 2013-14 class)
-A simple intelligent stude (from my 2011-12 class)
-A beautiful-gourgeous-pretty anak (from my 2011-12 class)
-A boyish family-support sweetie
-A super teacher mom of 3 lovely kiddos
-A sexylicous teacher mom of 2 princesses
-An Artistahin-by-name wanderer
-A duty bound super-teacher
-A faithful youngster-servant
-A loving mom of 2 from Cavite
-A great florist-dancer
-An out-going but detailed man from Ilocos
-An enthusiastic frater
-A priest-to-be

I have chosen them because I know they love me (assumera ako) and they won't think twice in saying YES to me. But of course, I shouldn't feel bad if one of them would decline or ignore my 'request'. It isn't their obligation anyway.

It isn't bad to dream of a dream and make it real. I know how blessed I am with people who are blessed as I am. I know how to be cherished and to be totally loved...this time, I wish to share it by words and by action.

If in case, these people wouldn't respond I promise to still fulfill my promise (to myself) to share my blessings to the community I will be visiting on December.

RERUN

I saw them...they reminded me of you. I have to turn my head down. I can't help but smile with a pinch of pain from within. It was the way we were, the way we've been.

Now, we are but strangers.

Before...
We are enveloped with unexplainable happiness when we are together but it has to end. As it must. Indeed.

Because...

We are alike but different. We are perfect together but we are not meant for each other.

You know better of me... of 'us' and we know far more than the latent you are better off me...off 'us'.

It's sad, as you are the sweetest sin I could ever win but has to forsake.

I know it isn't known to you...
At times, I long for you... your company as it completes me.

Though it's over,  I can't help but to tickle the memories. You are one fine me.

I am afraid that one fine day we'll meet. A touch to those pinky and your good hair smell. Your hugs and kisses. A taste of relief, and a taste of passion,  will remind me of the sense of belongingness. K.
