| Happy 4th of July! |
Jul 3, 2008 9:13 pm
103 Views |  | It's a big celebration day in the USA today. And what am I going to do? I have no idea yet. Maybe I'll see the fireworks display in the evening. I do know I will visit some of my family members. I guess this day has a lot of significant history to it, but I never did well in History class in school. So, I can't really tell you much. I'm sure you can Google search if you are really that interested. People just light a lot of fireworks, and have barbeques with family on this day. And everyone has the day off from work.  |

| Gay Pride Celebration |
Jun 26, 2008 3:17 pm
180 Views |  This weekend my town is having their annual gay pride parade & celebration. I'm looking forward to it. Do they have this every year where you live? What is gay pride, you may ask?
 Gay pride or LGBT pride refers to a world wide movement and philosophy asserting that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals should be proud of their sexual orientation and gender identity. Gay pride advocates work for equal "rights and benefits" for LGBT people. The movement has three main premises: that people should be proud of their sexual orientation and gender identity, that sexual diversity is a gift, and that sexual orientation and gender identity are inherent and cannot be intentionally altered. Marches celebrating Pride (pride parades) are celebrated worldwide. Symbols of LGBT pride include the  rainbow flag, the  Greek lambda symbol, and the  pink as well as black triangles reclaimed from their past use. | |

| My First Filipino Love... |
Jun 16, 2008 6:10 pm
315 Views |  | Although I had never met a Filipino in real life, I will never forget the first time I saw Paolo Montalban on television. It was 1997 and he was in a made-for-tv movie called "Cinderella." When he sings the song "Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful?" I feel like he's singing it to me. He makes my heart melt like buttah  ! I could watch this movie over & over again. And thus, my love for Filipinos began all because of my crush on Paolo Montalban. |

| I Am What I Am |
Jun 8, 2008 5:22 am
Mood: EMPOWERED!, 237 Views | . I am what I am
I am my own special creation.
So come take a look,
Give me the hook or the ovation.
It's my world that I want to take a little pride in,
My world, and it's not a place I have to hide in.
Life's not worth a damn,
'Til you can say, "Hey world, I am what I am."
I am what I am,
I don't want praise, I don't want pity.
I bang my own drum,
Some think it's noise, I think it's pretty.
And so what, if I love each feather and each spangle,
Why not try to see things from a diff'rent angle?
Your life is a sham 'til you can shout out loud
I am what I am!
I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses.
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces.
There's one life, and there's no return and no deposit;
One life, so it's time to open up your closet.
Life's not worth a damn 'til you can say,
"Hey world, I am what I am!"

| I'm sorry I'm not the virgin you expected me to be... |
Apr 24, 2008 8:54 pm
Mood: pissed off, 384 Views | Well... I don't know how to explain this. I won't say any names, but I got a nasty e-mail from someone here on FFF because they were upset about my previous post. I was reprimanded for having sex! And I was even asked what my dead lover from 2001 must be thinking about all this. All I can say to this FFF man is "I'm sorry i'm not the virgin you expected me to be." I'm 44 years old, I've been gay my whole life, so of course, I've had and do have sex from time to time. Not as often as I'd like to have, but it does happen! I'm also sorry to inform you that I'm not saving myself for you. I'm not saving myself for anyone. If I'm horney, and I want to get my rocks off, I'm going to do it. Perhaps you would live a better life as a Catholic priest, but I am not a priest. I'm not an angel, I'm not a saint, ... I'm just me. What you see is what you get. I appreciate having FFF friends. I enjoy engaging in meaningful conversations and learning so much about people on the opposite side of the Earth from me. But to reprimand me for being who I am, or place unreasonable expectations on me,... well, that hurts my feelings.  | |

| He's Just Not That Into Me |
Apr 20, 2008 9:48 pm
Mood: blah, 369 Views | | I met a guy a few weeks ago. We kissed and had sex for a few nights. I really liked being with him. Now we just keep in touch via e-mail and occassional phone calls. But, I'm always the one initiating the commmunication. I can tell, he's just not that in to me anymore. I should just let go, but a part of me wants to hang on...and keep in touch. But, by keeping in touch, I know it will only lead to more heartache. I've been down this road before with other guys, so I'm familiar with the routine. I wish I knew how to just leave the moment we once had as a happy one, and move on from there...but a part of me still wants more. oh hum! | |

| My Pet Peeves |
Feb 3, 2008 8:54 pm
Mood: annoyed, 449 Views | | When I go to the movies with my friend he always does the same things that bother me. I don't mind if he talks during the movie, but I do mind if he says things that spoil the movie. He likes to predict what will happen next in a scene we are watching, and he will loudly announce his prediction. For example, if it is a scary movie, he will say out loudly "oh, I bet someone is hiding in that closet and is going to jump out!" And, wouldn't you know? Someone does jump out of the closet. And I do not feel scared or surprised by the movie, because my friend has ruined the scene. I have told him to stop doing that, but he doesn't listen to me. I need to remind myself next time that I shouldn't go see movies with him anymore. It isn't worth seeing movies with him. | |

| New Year's Resolutions |
Jan 7, 2008 10:45 pm
Mood: bored, 386 Views |  | My New Year's resolution is to do new and exciting things for this new year. So far, I've met some very nice people here on FFF...so I guess that was one new and exciting thing of done. I've also helped my mother take down her Christmas decorations, and I've spent time visiting family members. But those aren't new things, nor would I consider those to be extremely exciting things either. Perhaps I should be more specific in my goals, and I'll be able to work toward them better. Hmmmm... I don't want to make the goal difficult to attain, so keeping the goal vague provides some room for mistakes. I'm usually fel happiest when I feel as though I've brightened someone else's day. So, that will be my goal. To be much more friendlier and to smile at strangers. I'll start with you ... if you're reading this right now, this smile is for you!  |
