Apparently, the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) has reprimanded Willie Revillame for allowing two gay men kiss on national TV on it's November 16th episode. According to news, this decision of Marissa Laguardia (MTRCB Chairman) was due to complaints they received.

I would deem that HYPOCRICY at its finest.

Continue denying the EXISTENCE of GAY PEOPLE in the Philippines and we - the gays - would continue on fighting for our rights. You say that the PHILIPPINES is a FREE COUNTRY? The actions of MTRCB proves otherwise. The GAYS in the Philippines aren't FREE. First they took out the TV show entitled "OUT!" and now, they are banning kissing on TV because of the person's sexuality. And for what? Is it due to "IMMORALITY"? Is it due to pressure from the complaints made by the viewers? Is it due to it being deemed "WRONG"?

Chairman Laguardia and the rest of the HOMPHOBICS out there. IMMORAL things and WRONG things are not SYNONYMOUS to each other! Try researching the very basic definition of those TWO words before taking action. Your BIBLE may not allow GAY PEOPLE, but there is such a thing as SEPARATION OF CHURCH and STATE. One's religious beliefs must not INTERFERE with the actions of the GOVERNMENT.

Continue bringing us GAYS down and and you will see us STAND UP... EVERYTIME!

I can still remember the times when Britney Spears was singing "Baby One More Time" and then Christina Aguilera showed up and seduced everyone with her single "Genie in a Bottle". They were the big names back then when we were growing up. And now seeing these new artists such as Demi Lovato, Taylor Swift and even that Miley girl.

I can't help but feel like i'm 15 again... Those were the times life was simple then.. What I had to do then was just study. TIme really does fly fast.. in a few more years, i'll be 25, and it wll be more than 10 years since I first heard them sing...

I wonder if there would be a kid today who would write about this same thing after ten years. What would be that like for me?

I really don't know what to say about you.. as I was only a kid when they say you did happened... But even though I didn't know what you were like completely, I would want to say thank you, if only for being our President.

Leading the country is a tough job, I would imagine, and from what I've been seeing on TV, the people love you and respect you so much.. May your legacy live on forever..

REST IN PEACE.

Halos makatatlong beses ko ata inisip kong anong isusulat ko para sa blog na ito para sa JUNE. Yun una kong post dapat, may kinalaman sa INDEPENDENCE DAY. Yun lang habang ginagawa ko ang konsepto ng post for that, hindi ko nagustuhan ang tutumbukin nya, kaya I SCRAPPED the idea. Naging cheesy kasi yung post. Yung pangalawa namang post may kinalaman sa PAG-ASA at ang kanilang walang sablay na forecast ng mga bagyo [insert sarcasm here.] Yun lang, nakapag RANT na naman na kako ako sa facebook so tama na rin yon don. Until, TODAY...


TODAY can be considered one of the biggest news to hit this decade. Bakit kamo? It's because TODAY, MICHAEL JACKSON died. Oo nga't namatay rin sina FARAH FAWCETT and ED MCMHAN, pero sa ating mga Pilipino, mas naging maimpluwensiya si MJ.

Naalala ko pa nung bata pa kaming mag-pipinsan at pinatutugtog yung mga kanta niya. Sikat na sikat pa non yung HEAL THE WORLD nya. And sa totoo lang, it was one of the songs, I could sing when I was a kid (aside from Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You). Kakaiba lang talaga yung feeling, as in SURREAL ang feeling ko ngayon dahil sa balitang yan.

Michael Jackson has been in numerous scandals. Including the child molestation issue, and his ever-changing look. He has been criticized heavily and he was even planning a big comeback tour. Alas, the tour will never happen.

According to my friend in the US, a vigil has started to happen. He will always be remembered as that sweet kid that sang lead for the JACKSON 5 who became eccentric as he grew and who was supposed to reestablish his name as the KING OF POP.

May your soul rest in peace MJ. You have touched many lives, more than you will ever know.

According to ARTICLE V, SECTION 1 of the 1987 Constitution, Suffrage may be exercised by all citizens of the Philippines not otherwise disqualified by law, who are at least eighteen years of age, and who shall have resided in the Philippines for at least one year, and in the place wherein they propose to vote, for at least six months immediately preceding the election. No literacy, property, or other substantive requirement shall be imposed on the exercise of suffrage.

Yeah right.

While SECTION 2 states that the Congress shall provide a system for securing the secrecy and sanctity of the ballot as well as a system for absentee voting for qualified Filipinos abroad. The congress shall also design a procedure for the disabled and the illiterate to vote without the assistance of other persons. Until then, they shall be allowed to vote under existing rules as the Commission on Elections may promulgate to protect the secrecy of the ballot.

And another YEAH RIGHT.


Everybody seems to be excited about the idea of voting for next year's PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS. I for one am NOT. TV stations here in the Philippines have started to convince people through students that it is right to vote. Well, although it is CORRECT to vote, it is more CORRECT (if there is such a thing) to VOTE for CANDIDATES who are JUST and TRUE.

Unfortunately, I have yet to see an OBAMA in Philippine politics. During the voting process, people will experience the tremendous heat of the sun, long and winding lines, and a very tightly packed voting precinct. And I am not planning to waste my time on someone who will just WASTE my HARD EARNED MONEY.

The government charges heavily on taxes. More than 1/5 of my salary goes to the GOVERNMENT. And for what? There are certainly no improvements anywhere. The Philippines is still a mess. Everywhere looks like a dump. Poverty has not improved. And certainly public schooling has not improved. Would I want the next president to do the same? Would I want the next president to just sit around and steal all my hard earned money? NO, DEFINITELY NOT.

This is a CALL TO ALL THE COLLEGE STUDENTS who have BRAINS. DON'T VOTE. You'd create a better tomorrow for the PHILIPPINES.

This is sort of the transcript of what transpired between ME and Mr. WENN DERAMAS at FACEBOOK. lolz...

R****  is finally home  im gonna watch angels and demons later..i hope its good as the book! or perhaps visually entertaining  is it?

Wenn Deramas at 3:41pm May 15
Mas Entertaining ang BFF!

R**** at 3:43pm May 15
direk  i will watch it. promise!

Chris Go at 4:39pm May 15
i think movies should not only be entertaining but be intellectually stimulating.

Wenn Deramas at 4:46pm May 15
OH! baka pag gumawa ako ng "Intelectually stimulating" Sumabog ang utak mo!

Wenn Deramas at 4:51pm May 15
Sana lang pala may sasabog muna bago ako gumawa, baka wala rin naman at puro pa intellectual lang sayang ang pera!

Chris Go at 4:56pm May 15
I doubt it mr. deramas. ^_^

Wenn Deramas at 4:57pm May 15
Really Chris Go You may Go now!

Chris Go at 5:00pm May 15
you can't even take criticism can you?

Wenn Deramas at 5:01pm May 15
I do, pero pinipili ko din.

Chris Go at 5:10pm May 15
hmm.. from the looks of it, you don't and you rely on insults just to make your point, which in my humble opinion, is FUTILE.

Wenn Deramas at 5:17pm May 15
well said, I wish you well!

Chris Go at 5:22pm May 15
yeah, you too ^_^

-----

No wonder, ganito ang movies in the Philippines. Pinalalabas nila na indie raw ang gay films nila, just to SELL.. and no wonder an ENTERTAINING movie seems to be better than a movie that is Intellectually stimulating, because we allow people like Mr. Deramas to continue on creating movies fit for, READ: UNICELLULAR ORGANISMS.

I'm sorry Mr. Deramas if my brain function doesn't stoop down to wherever yours is.

As an educator, I can't just allow movies to be ENTERTAINING Period. They should ALSO be intelligent, smart, witty (and all other synonyms.)

PS: I asked you if you CAN'T take criticisms well.. and you answered me with I DO? C'mon, you're a director, you should know better than that..

I can't see the difference. loolllllzzzz... ^_^

I thought I have given up on the Philippines because I had this notion that I've seen it all.. At least, what the Philippines has to offer.

Living in Manila, particularly in Caloocan where pollution, flooding and crime is rampant, I often screamed I WANT OUT!!!

I thought, what can this country offer me aside from jobless and homeless people?

I wandered.. wandered.. and wandered some more...

Until me and my friends came by Vigan, Ilocos Sur after a 10 hour drive from Manila. An unbelievably surreal place Vigan was. It was as if the land was trapped in time. The houses erect were from the Spanish period, the streets were made of cobblestones, there were horse drawn carriages and yes, the city was FREE FROM POLLUTION!

Actually, looking back, it felt like not only did I step back in time, but more so, it felt like I flew to another country. We stayed in Vigan for only a day, but the memories and photographs were worthwhile.

After the encounter with Philippines' past, we had to move on the next day to Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte. The journey was about three hours from Vigan by land, which was very long and yes, very winding.

Pagudpud is another story. Unlike surreal Vigan, Pagudpud is like a paradise. Clear blue waters and skies, fresh grass and proud trees surrounded the area. The beach is one of the best I've seen, with waves that seem to never end, and sand that was as fine. Pagudpud is not only proud of its majestic beach but what the beach can offer to would-be guests. Vendors selling anything from hand woven bracelets to pearl necklaces are everywhere. Hotels selling a fresh catch of the day is everywhere.

And one more thing Ilocos Norte has given us is their HONESTY and INTEGRITY. One thing missing in Manila nowadays, unfortunately. My brother unluckily lost his mobile phone during our trek to go to Kabigan Falls. All of us though that it was the end of his Nokia P990i. But after calling his number a few times, we were able to get a hold of the person who found his mobile. To make the story short, we were able to retrieve the mobile phone from the guy. If that would've happened in Manila, my brother's sim would have been thrown out, and it would have been replaced by the founder's sim.

Promise, I'll upload pics soon!

I'll have fond memories of our Vigan and Pagudpud trip.

to my MMDa, to my friends C, M, B, and to my brother; let's do this again next year! ^_^

Make You Feel My Love

by: ADELE

When the rain
Is blowing in your face
And the whole world
Is on your case
I could offer you
A warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows
And the stars appear
And there is no one there
To dry your tears
I could hold you
For a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you
Haven't made
Your mind up yet
But I would never
Do you wrong
I've known it
From the moment
That we met
No doubt in my mind
Where you belong

I'd go hungry
I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling
Down the avenue
No, there's nothing
That I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging
On the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
Though winds of change
Are throwing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing
Like me yet

I could make you happy
Make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends
Of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love

--- I always imagine you whenever I hear this song.. I love you ♥♥♥

Kung tatanungin mo ako kung kamusta na ang boyfriend ko.. isa lang ang isasagot ko.. DON'T.

Naglalakad ako pauwi sa novaliches-bayan kanina galing sa bahay nila nang bigla akong mapaluha ng kaunti.. Yeah, call it acting.. or whatever, pero it was one moment in my life na i realized i'm falling in an endless pit.

Work's filled with too much gossip than I can handle, my father is forcing me to marry so that he can have a grandchild, my boyfriend's still not well...

Nakakatuwa ano? When I was a bit younger, I never imagined this would happen to me.

Ano ang point ng blog? Walang point.

This life is f**ked up as I thouht it was.. and much more!


I just don't want to live in it anymore... I REALLY DON'T.

Have you ever felt that you're so down that you can't go lower? Have you ever felt that you're falling in an endless pit?

I feel as though the life in me is slowly draining away.. I am feeling very lonesome. Alone.

I don't know how to change things, to make them better.

I wish you were here and that you were well.

But alas, you're not.

Should I dream of a better future? A future wherein there would be no problems?

If mom's right, it only happens when you pass away..

Should I pass away? Should I?

I'm slowly dying anyway..

Should I continue on killing myself slowly in agonizing pain? Or should I just end it all swiftly?

Either way, everything's dark now.

And if I do wake up tomorrow morning, it's still gonna be this way...

When I do blog it's always about the negative stuff that's happening in my life. Sabihin na nating dito ko nilalabas ang sama ng loob ko..

This blog is no different... (Nagkabati-bati na nga pala kaming magkakaibigan pero I don't think i have posted anything...)

It has been 3 months now ng magkasakit siya.. At hanggang ngayon di pa rin siya gumagaling... I have been telling myself na gagaling siya, and I have been praying tremenduously. Kaso hanggang ngayon, on and off pa rin ang fever niya. I don't understand it.. all the test that was done sa kanya have returned negative naman... Pero there's still that lingering feeling of worry and depression.

Parang pakiramdam ko napaka useless ko.. parang wala naman kasi akong nagagawa aside from emotional support. Oo nga, I can give emotional support, pero I don't think makakagaling yun ng 3-month's worth na lagnat...

I'm not posting to ask for help, kasi the doctors have been so kind to us and is really helping to sort things out...

Ang kailangan ko prayers.. I know it's a bit weird coming from me.. Knowing my religious background and all, pero I've lost all hope at least sa hope na may makakatulong na tao...

I really don't know what to do...

Kaya kung mapapansin ninyo, ang friendster ko may isang malaking X na picture eh...

Everything's changed, and everything is changing day by day.. Sana makasabay ako.. and sana we can get out of this alive...

Pray for us...

Pray.

This is for my baby...


The sun has set tonight so beautifully
The stars are dancing, smiling happily
The moon is weeping with pride and joy
For her stars are no longer boys.

Let's fly up together like ivory doves,
For we too are stars meant above.
Let us go now let's not hesitate
The moon is calling I don't want to wait.

Things would be better if we were on air.
For we would know we would bear.
Let us dance and smile like stars so happily
For we know we would be together for eternity

Well, the thing that happened happened already. Alas, nothing has been agreed upon therefore, nothing has changed.

And feeling ko, mas grumabe pa ata ang pagtatalu-talo namin...

They want me to say sorry kasi feeling nila PINEKE ko ang pagkakaroon ko ng asthma para samahan ang boyfriend ko pabalik ng Manila. I had asthma then, that is what's true. Kung ayaw nila maniwala then I won't force it to them.

Thanks for the friendship.. siguro ganito rin ang nangyari kay MUTYA BUENA when she left the Sugababes..

Sa sobrang gusto ko yata sa kanya, ultimo ang friendships ko natulad na rin sa aking singing idol. Hahaha..

Natatawa ako ngayon kasi I feel that I can breathe again, parang wala ng tinik sa lalamunan ko. At least alam kong nagtatampo sila sa akin. But I WILL NEVER SAY SORRY FOR CHOOSING TO GO HOME WITH MY BOYFRIEND.

Looking back, kahit wala akong asthma, sasamahan ko pa rin siya pabalik. That would be - in my opinion - the best thing to do..

So, pano ba? HAPPY NEW YEAR NA LANG SENYO GUYS! I'll try to have my new year as happy as possible.

I'm really looking forward for 2009. And kung ano ang mga kaguluhan pang darating...

So for my "buddies" (may apostrophe kasi i don't know kung magkakaibigan pa kami or not)

Here's a song for you...

Sugababes - Conversatio's Over

Did it start with an obsession?
Where's the writing on the wall?
I can see through your deception
Through it all
I see clearly now
For too long you've had it your way
For too long I've tiptoed round
Finally we're face to face boy
No drama now
I'll stand my ground

Chorus:
Now the conversation's over
And there's nothing more to say
I've had my time with you
So hear me now
I won't stay
It's my turn to walk away

No point in talking round in circles
Or trying to read between the lines
I saw you dancing with the devil
I'm not blind
Don't sympathise
Cos for too long you've played your own game
For too long I've stood and cried
It's time I changed the combination
I'll be fine
Won't change my mind

Chorus:
Now the conversation's over
And there's nothing more to say
I've had my time with you
So hear me now
I won't stay
It's my turn to walk away

I've found the strength to finally say it
What the walls have heard a thousand times
And I just don't want pain
I know I'll go insane
I've reconnected my mind

Chorus:
Now the conversation's over, yeah
And there's nothing more to say
I've had my time with you
So hear me now
I won't stay (I won't stay)
It's my turn to walk away

Chorus:
Now the conversation's over (it's over yeah)
And there's nothing more to say (to say to say)
I've had my time with you
So hear me now
I won't stay (I won't stay)
It's my turn to walk away

Walk away
Walk away

Though not necessarily apt for the moment, since it's not about a boy and a girl but amongst friends, it still sums up what i feel. so there. ^__^

HAPPY 2009 everyone!

I never actually imagined it would happen pero nangyari nga ang mga nangyari at heto nga, di kami nag-uusap nina R_ _ at B_ _ ngayon.

Ano ang pagkalakilaking dahilan? It's because of the BAGUIO thing.

Let me give you a backstory...

Ganito kasi yon...

Nagplano kami na magpupunta kami ng Baguiong magkakaibigan. actually ako ang nag-initiate nun. Kasi feeling ko it would be something new dahil never pa kaming nagpunta out of the city ng kami kami lang except for Tarlac. Sa Tarlac naman kasi eh may friends kami kaya ayun parang second home rin, so I can't consider it really an out of town experience..

So ang mga kasama dun si R_ _ , B_ _ , Me and my boyfriend plus two girls na sina M_____ and P____ . So ang plan was to go to Tarlac muna to visit our friends there tapos diretso na sa Baguio.

My boyfriend told me na di na siya makakatuloy sa Baguio dahil sa may sakit nga siya, and dahil sa sakit nya, bawal siyang malamigan. So medyo nag-dalawang isip na ako kung itutuloy ko ba talaga itong pagsama ko sa Baguio dahil sa condition ng boyfriend ko.

Pero sa awa naman ni Lord, natuloy pa rin kami mag out of town.

So ayun nga natuloy ang pagpunta namin sa TARLAC. Masaya naman ang lahat. nag xmas party kami dun and what not..

So after two days sa Tarlac, it was now time para pumunta ng Baguio as planned. SO medyo talagang nagdadalawang isip ako kasi alam kong mag-isa lang ang boyfriend kong babalik ng Manila. And to think may sakit siya.

And as FATE would have willed it, nagka ASTHMA ako bigla on the day na aakyat kami dapat for Baguio. So di ako natuloy sumama. Nakabalik ako ng Manila ng walang problema..

OR SO I THOUGHT..

So ngayon, malaman laman ko, nagtatampo na sa akin si B_ _ at R_ _. Dahil di ako nakasama sa Baguio.

Ang tanong ko lang, nakita nilang dalawa mismo kung anong hirap ko nung may hika ako. Nakita nilang singa ako ng singa, nakita nilang di ako nagsasalita, tapos ultimo si B _ _ nakita akong nagpabili ng gamot kay boyfriend ko.

So ang confusing sa akin is that, ano ang dahilan ng pagtatampo nila? Kasi I really don't get it.

I even tried communicating with them about what had happened, binati ko si R _ _ ng MERRY CHRISTMAS. tapos sabi ko pa, labas kami nitong nakaraang SABADO para makabawi ako.. I never received a reply.

Si B _ _ rin, bago pa siya nagpunta ng Hong Kong nag PM ako sa kanya. Though nanunuod siya ng TV nun.. usually pag nagPPM ako nagrereply naman siya. Pero unfortunately, di rin siya nagreply..

So WHAT AM I TO THINK? Kaya nag lie low rin ako. I wasn't even speaking with the TWO GIRLS because of that incident. Kasi ramdam na ramdam ko yung TAMPO nila, but of course, I NEEDED CONFIRMATION.

Question lang, DO I HAVE TO SAY SORRY FOR MY ACTIONS?

Do I have to say sorry na nagkasakit ako? Na, I chose my to go back to Manila 1.) because of my sick boyfriend na alone magbabyahe pabalik and 2.) ako mismo may sakit na rin?

Sabihin na nating it's due to PRIDE. Ma-PRIDE akong tao eh. I never say sorry lalo na pag alam kong wala kong mali..

Can you please tell me kung may nagawa ba akong mali sa actions ko? Because if so, I'm REALLY willing to say sorry.

Medyo gulat pa rin ako sa mga panahong ito habang sinusulat ko ang blog na ito...

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT ONE OF MY CLASSMATES in college has a KID already!

Yeah, I know what your thinking.. "So what CHRIS! Anak lang yan. Lahat ng tao nagkakaroon nyan"

Yun nga eh.. nag-contemplate ako bigla sa mga ginawa kong bagay for the last year. Si J_ _ _ _ _, nakagawa ng bata, ako naman gumimik sa malate?

Parang naisip kong biglang parang napaka nonsense ng mga pinaggagagawa ko sa buhay for the past year. Sa totoo lang, nitong end of the year lang naging sorta "STABLE" ang trabaho ko.

Have I grown to become the intelligent and cute (wag aangal, blog ko to! shet!) guy i wanted to be? Parang feeling ko hindi pa... i'm already 22, pero kung ang iba pinuproblema na ang pagbili ng gatas ng kanilang mga anak, ako ang pinuproblema ko pa, ay kung ano ang mangyayari sa next issue ng Naruto Shippuden.

I'm sulking because I want to become matured, kasi pakiramdam ko, naapektuhan ang trabaho ko.. (though pakiramdam ko pa lang naman yon, it's still not apparent)

Kaso, aantayin ko pa ba na maging apparent ang pagiging childish ko?

Naalala ko tuloy sa TESDA when I took the exam for National Certificate II in Commerial Cookery.. ang palatandaan sa akin nung assessor, "CHILDISH". as in naka-note sa papel nya na childish ako! and I was already teaching then! Grabe!!!

HOW DID MY PARENTS  DO IT? Argh...

HOW DO YOU GROW UP?

I have stopped posting on this blog temporarily as there is nothing interesting to rave or even rant about lately.. well, until now that is...

As most of you would know.. I have blogged mine and my friends' lives here; and for so long, i have blogged about many different and exciting encounters during our college lives...

Most of us have already graduated.. and is currently facing the harsh reality of the "REAL" world.

The point of this blog?

This is a blog for my dear friend J_ _ _ _, who has been my best friend for almost 4 years now. I am writing this blog for him because I know that I will miss him dearly when he leaves for Jeddah on the 16th. I know he won't be able to read this, but I know that he knows we - his best friends - will always be with him during his encounter in the middle east.

I'm actually sad that he's leaving, but mixed with it is a bit of happiness that his dreams are slowly but surely, coming true. I just wished he could postpone his departure until after the 21st so that he can join us in Baguio for our Christmas party...

J!!!  WE'LL BE MISSING YOU UNTIL YOU RETURN!!!

See you in two years BUDDY!

I'm currently in the state of transition. I recently left work (after a very bad alibi) for a better paying job.

I have apprehensions about the job actually, and I am scared of the thought that I may not be able to do the job properly. As many of you would know, I'm only 22. And after a year of teaching and four months of working for a certain cruise ship company, I don't think I'm fit to become a PROGRAM COORDINATOR at all.

I mean, yeah, I graduated with honors, CUM LAUDE that is, but I believe I lack the experience. Even if I do finish my masters degree and my PhD degree, I would still lack that one bit. I would still be in the dark about what a real academic program coordinator is supposed to be doing. According to the job description, I am supposed to ensure quality education of the upcoming students of Cruise Ship Services Management of a particular college. And the thing is, this particular college has affiliated itself with an AMERICAN COLLEGE therefore making its standards seemingly impossible. Now, what would a 22-year-old-program-coordinator-wannabe like me would do?

Though I am glad that CHED's (Commission on Higher Education) counterpart in the United States has approved me to be a faculty member of the said college, but being a PROGRAM COORDINATOR is another thing! This time, it's really BIG!

Well, I suppose I've been wanting to become a manager of something for too long now; and I suppose GOD gave this to me as if saying 'you wanted it, now you shall have it', as if in the movies..

CRAP! HELP! ANYONE?
