JUNE PRIDE

My favorite Fabcasters, McVie and Gibbs Cadiz with their other fabulous friends have been talking about "coming out" in their recent podcasts. It is an interesting and enlightening topic that hits me straight to my apdo and balun-balunan..

choz..;D

Being 'semi-out' (if there's such a word ;D), is living a double life. A co-worker, who happens to be a close friend, recently told me that one of my students last year asked her if I was gay, she answered the question with a story of me and his brother sharing the same girlfriend (which was true by the way ;D). The student was left dumb mouthed, but I told my friend that if ever the nosy student asks her again about my gender, she should tell me, so I could answer her myself:

Me:  Neng, tinatanong mo kung bakla nga ba ako? Ang sagot e isang malaking OO at excuse me mas makinis ang balat ko sa balat mo at di hamak na mas maganda ako sa iyo!

Tarush! choz lang..wishful thinking baga..hihihi ;D

But kidding aside, I would like to share this video as my contribution to Pride Month entitled: Reteaching Gender and Sexuality

Taas noong Iwina-wagayway ang Rainbow Flag!

Rampa na mga 'teh!!

SEVEN CAPITAL SINS: WRATH OR ANGER

Wrath (anger, hatred) 

Inappropriate (unrighteous) feelings of hatred and anger. Denial of the truth to others or self. Impatience or revenge outside of justice. Wishing to do evil or harm to others. Self-righteousness. Wrath is the root of murder and assault. Dante described wrath as "love of justice perverted to revenge and spite".

Everybody I know thinks that I am fearless.. some of my co-workers even became afraid of me because of my temper. There was an incident a few years back when something went wrong with my SSS contributions that rejected my loan. I was already expecting that money and when it happened, my top blew off and silently I got hold of a cartolina and continuously pounded it on my table until it was smashed into tiny pieces. When I regained composure I realized I was doing it inside our Faculty Room with my co-teachers looking at me really shocked.

Some of my students even see me as a terror teacher. When I was still new in the job, whenever a student makes mistakes I will hit on his head or stomach. My principal even hid me from an angry German father who wants to confront me because I asked his son to kneel in front of the class because he did not attend the Sunday Mass.  The student was not even Catholic. After that school year, the student was transferred out of our school.

I remember a message I got from a good looking young man in Facebook a year ago. 

Young Man: Kilala kita! (I know you!) at di ko malilimutan ang mukhang yan! (and will never forget my face) 

Me: (shocked) how do you know me and why?

Young man: You were the teacher who hit me on my head using as textbook!

Me: What?! I never did that!

Young Man: I will never forget that day, I was in Grade 4..

suddenly it dawn to me..I did do that..in another school were I was assigned to teach in Elementary.

Me: Oh...I remember now..I am very sorry, I don't have any words to say to justify my wrongdoings.

Young Man: Sir, I have long forgiven you..don't think about it.. I was just messing with your head. 

Me: Thank heavens, nothing happened to you that traumatized your childhood.

Young Man: No Sir, nothing that serious happened. I just never forgot you and that incident.

The last time I saw this young man was in website of a known photographer that specializes in sexy poses of sexy men. I think Felix is his name.

Anyway..

But truth is I am a coward, I don't like confrontations. The last time a father of a student, who I thought, understands my work in the school who we both graduated from, wanted to confront me because he thought I was picking on his son. Though the confrontation never happened,the father continued on harassing me, even calling me names and cursing me. I became depressed, because in my mind I was just doing my job. I thought of quitting and my smile faded. I became more ill-tempered and unkind, until my present Boss talked to me which leads to the creation of this blog.

With the new school year, I am also sort of in a new beginning. 

I am smiling more often now.



P.S. And I will not go far as this..

and the winner is via the putikan is.....pak! ;D

SISSY

We just celebrated Father's Day the other and everybody remembered to greet their own fathers.


But if you are a parent, will you do the same to your son?

His brother and sister tried to helped him, but they can only watch and cry with him..

How far will you go to make your son's or brother's life "normal"...

or you really don't know him..being gay is not science..gay is a person, a human being...

FOREBODING

I don't know what it is, but I can feel it in my guts, something is wrong or something bad is waiting to happen. I hate whenever I feel this way, call me crazy or plain paranoid, but it scares the hell out of me.

In addition to that, I have noticed something different with the traffic statistics of my blog's viewers/readers these past week, usually they come through the great blogs of Boss Idol Soltero and Madame Mel Beckham in droves, but lately the traffic changed completely and I don't know the reasons.

Should I be concern?

Should I be paranoid?

or I have to calm myself down and ignore everything I feel and notice.

WTF!!!

GOOD NEWS!

That was what I read today.

It was about an International Conference against child abuse, which will be hosted by our country at the end of the year and to be held at SMX Convention Center of MOA. Organized by the Child Protection Network Foundation (CPN), the annual conference will have the theme: "Creating Safe and Caring Environments for Children".

Read all about it:

MANILA, Philippines - Hundreds of delegates from the Philippines and around the world are expected to attend the annual Ako Para Sa Bata (I Am For The Child) Manila Conference to be held at the SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia Complex, Manila from December 5 - 7, 2011.

Organized by the Child Protection Network Foundation (CPN), the three-day conference with the theme "Creating Safe and Caring Environments for Children" is set to discuss key issues and feasible measures to effectively combat child neglect.

"Child neglect is one of the most prevalent forms of child abuse. We forget abuse is not limited to the physical aspect, there are also many environmental factors that threaten the emotional wellness of children," said Dr. Bernadette J. Madrid, MD, Executive Director of CPN.

Last year's conference proved to be a success as it was attended by more than 650 participants, including representatives from government and non-government organizations (NGOs), domestic and international law enforcement agencies, medical professionals, academia, as well as parents, social workers, youth and children organizations and the media.

"We will be presenting a comprehensive review of the latest research, on-the-ground experience and different perspectives in tackling child neglect. By bringing together the diverse groups we hope to come up with recommendations that are inclusive, practical and doable in the Philippine setting," said Dr. Stella G. Manalo,Organizing Committee Conference Chair.

The two day symposia will tackle a wide range of topics including: media, sex and violence; proper media diet for children; family values in children; preventing child neglect and child endangerment; safe havens for children in times of disaster / in areas of conflict; caring homes; changing Filipino perspectives in adoption issues; non-violence in the school; and safety in the field, in court or at home.

Post Conference Workshops will be also conducted by the Philippine Society for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Philippine Society for Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics, Society of Adolescent Medicine of the Philippines, Inc., PsychConsult Inc., and CPN itself.

"The nation cannot afford not to prevent the abuse of its children. Through proper support, training and resources, we can ensure every child gets the bright, safe and healthy future they deserve", concluded Dr. Madrid.

The Child Protection Network Foundation is committed to ensuring that all children in the Philippines and throughout Asia are protected from abuse and neglect. Its mission is to enable child protection specialists and child protection unites (CPUs) achieve excellence in serving abused children and children-at-risk. The foundation shall serve every abused child with compassion and competence ensuring that all abused children and children at risk are safe, healthy, and developing to the best of their potential within a nurturing family environment.

*If you are a victim of child abuse and would like to seek professional help, you can contact the organization through their website: http://www.childprotectionnetwork.org/. 

It is not too late to tell your story and seek for help. 

You are not alone.

But I noticed something while browsing through their published researches, (not that I am being too petty or what) they all focused on young girls or children in general and little are said or mentioned or studies that focused about the ordeals of abused  young boys, physical or sexual. Just asking. ;D

MALAYA

patudsada: This blog have no intention to malign the celebration of our country's Independence Day today..lighten up!








Have you been asked about your underwear preference?








In where do you feel FREE? As in like a bird freed from a cage:

TOWEL

bait-baitan muna ulit akitch mga teh hane..hihihihi ;D



In preparation for the start of our classes ( yes po, di kami kasabay ng karamihan..sa june 13 pa kami magsisimula) and before we have our first faculty meeting, a priest was invited to speak to the faculty. I've heard many spiritual talks before and I thought it will be like that..borrrriiinnng..

But, it was totally different. He compared the importance of a teacher with a towel,

he said that like a towel, a teacher should have the following qualities:

• it must be wide that can hug the whole body and not like a bimpo that can only wipe a small space
• it must be absorbent
• it must be reusable
• and must be for cleansing, in other words, for healing

pak! may nangbato na naman..tinamaan akitch! choz!

and the we proceeded to an activity wherein we have to wash each others feet which symbolizes our commitment to serve each other not only because we have to as dictated by laws or commands, but because we are FAMILY..working together for the good of our students...

another ten months...this really is it...

napapadalas yata  pagiging mabait ko ah..hmmmmm...

DAYFLY

bait-baitan muna akitch mga teh hane..hihihihi ;D



In our life we have moments that we feel that the God we believe in has forgotten us because of numerous problems we experience...








and whenever I feel that way, I learned to look and observe the earth that surrounds me and then count my blessings..








like this Korean young man, who most of his existence felt like a dayfly..sa wika natin..BANGAW..

indeed music is the language of the soul..

binuhay mo ang katawang lupa ko kuya! pak na pak!

BIGGEST LOSER

I was with a girl-friend (who is also in the plus size) last Sunday, when we saw an old friend. Happy to see him, we approached him and exchange pleasantries.

Us: Hi! How are you sir?

Old friend: Hello! Nice seeing you here. I thought both of you were picked as finalists for the Biggest Loser competition.

OUCH!


Me: (to my girl-friend) E sabay kaya nating daganan ang damatans na itich ha?!

Yesterday, while talking with a co-teacher, he suddenly asked me:

Co-Teacher: Kuya, di mo ba naisipang sumali sa Biggest Loser?

(OUCH AGAIN!! masakit na ha!)


Me: Anak ng pitungput-pitong kuba, e unahin ko kayang pag-isipan kung pano kita ipapatumba ha?












And that afternoon, I joined my best friend in waiting for his son to finish his swimming lesson when his brother-in-law (who I detest) out of the blue blurted out:

Pakialamerong Bakulaw: Dapat P, sumali ka sa Biggest Loser, sigurado papayat ka don!


Me: (while giving him a ngiting aso) Naku, di ako papasa dun, masyado pa kasi akong magaan para dun..(sabay talikod, at pabulong na sinasabi: E di ikaw sumali, pakialamerong bakulaw!hmp!) 

And what started this domino of nakaka-wrinkles of unsolicited questions and advices...





Earlier this week, I was talking to former students about our present programs in school when they both noticed something.

Former Student 1: Sir parang may bago sa itsura nyo ngayun?

Former Student 2: Oo nga sir, naninibago nga ako sa inyo..

Me: Ano ba yun? Ano bang nakikita nyo na di ko nakikita?

Former Student 1: Alam ko na sir! Namamayat kayo!

Former Student 2: Ay oo nga sir! Namamayat nga kayo..MAY LEEG NA ULIT KAYO O!

Me: HUWAT DA PACKAGING TAPE?! Magsilayas kayo sa opisina ko!

Today I invited all these people for lunch and served them ginataang BOTCHANG BANGUS, pritong BOTCHANG BANGUS, and rellenong BOTCHANG BANGUS, fresh from Taal, Batangas and Pangasinan!  

!BWAHAHAHAHA! cue thunder and lightning !BWAHAHAHAHA!

Choz lang mga teh!

IT CAN MAKE BOYS WHO DRINK IT GAYS!

furthermore,  chemicals in plastics alter the brains of baby boys, making them "more feminine", say US researchers.

UNDECIDED

I promised that I will write about it and could have written about it easily, but something in me is preventing me from doing it. 

Why am I struggling? Are there things that should be left unsaid and just be forgotten like a horrible nightmare?

BAHALA NA SI BATMAN!!

MASTER

Warning: This will be a long one, so please hang on..

For the longest time, educating our youth about sex is still debatable. On the side of the “Anti” Group, they tell us that by doing so we will only ‘pollute’ our children’s minds and end up f*cking the next person they meet. They fear that their raging hormones will overshadow the values that our ancestors have instilled in us if we will teach them about sex. 

On the other hand, the “Pro” Group say that educating our youth about sex will teach them what to do and preserve the same treasured values of our ancestors.

Let us take for example the subject of masturbation. In an article, of a certain website it says that many experts and studies prove that masturbation is more frequently enjoyed during the teenage years than any other period in our lives. This is mostly due to the strong fluctuation of hormones that always come along with puberty. The act of masturbation can actually alleviate the strain of this growing up build up as a necessary part of one’s development. In short, if knowledge of oneself is the beginning of wisdom, ergo, masturbation makes us wise.(ipagpalitan talaga!)

However, the wisest sages in the world would not necessarily agree with us. Majority of the major religions in the world say that lust or libido, those heart-palpitating and blood-rushing junctions that nature equips us with, is bad. Masturbation is the fulfillment and the prelude to lust in all its many forms, thus it is bad at best and sinful at worst. Clearly, the world is not too kind on masturbation inspite of the many benefits that we can get from it.

If you belong to one of these major religions in the world, say, you are a Catholic or Christian, you will be taught, “masturbation is a seed wasted,” as if you won’t producing more than enough in your lifetime. If you happen to be a Mormon, then you will be taught that your body is a temple, a holy shrine, and that masturbation is a desecration of such sacredness. However, wherever religion you may be, at the end of the line, if you are religious, masturbation is wrong. Moreover, even if you are not that zealous about your religion, the contemporary perspective about our friend masturbation is still grounded on these early ideologies. What’s more, if we are cooped up in an environment where majority of the world’s population still believe in some sort of an organized religion.

However, contrary to these beliefs, teen masturbation is very prevalent in our world today even if they are spent in the cloisters on individual privacy. Our generation is even more exposed to such practice because other that the fact that the observance of moral codes have somewhat collectively loosen, our priorities have also shifted. Before, people got married at such a young age for the lack of better things to do. Today, society does not pressure us to get married until we can somewhat stand in our own feet as we strive to finish school and have a stable job.

With this turn of events, teens must be able to control or at least temper down their sexual desires for an even longer period. And this has become a strong social trend especially since it helps teens in their growing up and in exploring more their identity and sexuality.

Remember:

1. Masturbation is not evil, dirty or harmful – it will not make you go blind, drive you insane, turn you in to a pervert, stunt your growth, give you an STD, make you sterile or get you Pregnant.

 

2. Both guys and girls masturbate; it is a normal and healthy part of sexual development.

3. Masturbation is a very personal thing and should not be done in public places or around people who are not willing partners (think safer sex activity).

4. You are normal if you masturbate, normal if you wonder about it but don’t do it, and normal if you never give it a second thought and don’t do it – it is one of the few things in life that is “normal if you do and normal if you don’t”.

5. Masturbation may make sexual intercourse more enjoyable because you will already know what it takes to “please you”.

6. Masturbation alleviates stress and releases endorphins (the pleasure hormones) in to your system, making you more relaxed.

Now back on sex education, my final take on it:

PAK!!!

EDUCATION

While our lawmakers are debating about the RH Bill, less than a month from now millions of our youth will be trooping back to school. Enrollment is still ongoing for most of the schools most specially the private schools. In our small town with a population of forty-five thousand, we have at least six private schools and two National High Schools, naalala ko nga yung joke na if you want to put up a business that will make you rich, then put up your own school or religious sect. In fairness with the school that I teach, kahit private ito, mababa pa rin ang tuition, with twenty thousand pesos, bayad ka na for one school year which includes a complete set of books! May government subsidy pa on the side yan mga mader! San ka pa..(sipsip!)

However, in spite of the facts there are still who cannot pay the full amount and owe back accounts amounting to more than twenty thousand. Now that it is enrollment time again, parents will do anything so their children will have a good education they deserve. Just the other day, I was in Cebuana Lhuillier to send my payment for some ka-ekekan I bought, a man greeted me and inquired about our school’s enrolment  and his child (it seems that he sends his child in our school, sa totoo lang di ko tanda yung anak nya!). Then the woman in the counter called his name and gave him the money in exchange to the jewel that he pawned. Before going out of the shop, in a hush tone he said that he would be using the money for his child’s enrolment.

Honestly, parang kinurot ang puso ko sa insidenteng iyon. It is unfortunate that some children take their parents’ sacrifices for granted and instead of good grades, puro heartaches and headaches ang isinusukli nila sa mga sakripisyong ito.

I only have one wish for this coming school year: may it be a stress-free year! Ching! Asa pa talaga ang lolah mo!
