We don't understand our name at all, we don't know its history and yet we bear it with exalted fidelity, we merge with it, we like it, we are ridiculously proud of it as if we had thought it up ourselves in a moment of brilliant inspiration."

Affirmations, no matter how small, are like like funny flashbacks.

Yes, there are a lot of things photographers must do to stretch a concept. In this case a broken thumb and a static lamp post. This was a model portfolio shoot with HENRY NILLOS. I remember this day un-fondly because I literally broke my thumb while balancing for an angle.

Headed to Malate to grab some drinks and fully sulk in the party streets for some target for our verbal attacks. Ended up browsing through some kinky store with dildos and edible underwear. The nice sales lady was in the mood of lecturing us the use of anal beads and the difference between lubes which was interesting because she sounded like she was reading it straight off from a cue card. Hehehe

Joined by Phoebe and her friend, the delectably bubbly-yet-dignified-in-a-suit-during-daytime friend Michael, we headed up for Kylie Minogue Night at Makati Ave. Mai and Vinnie were on their way. I was with Mike and King. Eric was able to do a late entrance.Point of Info, Fahkri a.k.a Dr. Slut is a Kylie devotee. He was born from a Kylie Tree, fell through its Kylie branches, landed on a

Arriving next was Sisa Primashinta from Indonesia and Mohamad Rashidi bin Mustafa Kamal aka Eddy from Malaysia. We took on a less chaotic approach and decided to welcome them to a dinner at Dampa by the Riverside outside Mall of Asia. Nonetheless, we turned the place inside out. With Sisa's cheering performance and our own rendition of the Band's singing and the excessive amounts of photo ops, I

Finally seeing Ota Eri from Japan and Jalleh Jessie James from Singapore.We boarded Nippon Maru. And I can almost hear somewhere in the back of my head Celine Dion was screaming a medley of Titanic's My heart will go on and It's All Coming back to me Now as I walk my way up with my own official soundtrack.Sick.Sadistic.Shallow.

We have noticed this pattern.That every time we ended up in Carafe, it was due to some tragic loss or some life-changing, career-ending cosmic decisions.Flashback: * Berne, my frequently-mistaken-for-a-gay-guy friend met up with his girl-slash-friend to comfort her after discovering her long time bf has secretly bore a child.

There are times when you wake up one day and realize that you have to choose another host body because the one that you have right now is starting to resemble like it's going to implode into a black hole. So, with Mike, King and Tracy in tow, we headed to Blue Rackets and threatened our fats to extinction, which in reality wasn't much of threat since my fats were smart enough to know that this

Still battling a bitchy hang-over, I took a cab home fully realizing that the sun has finally stuck its finger up my butt. So I woke Mike up and decided to give him the tour to the Saturday Market at Valero Park. As usual, the place was reeking with rich condo tenants selling fruit juices and over-priced pasta, obviously just for the fun of it, and yuppies parading around with their status

Boredom.Nostalgia.And in light to the spirit of true Greek fashion, the god in me decided to rekindle the festival of my cohort, Dionysius, who is, of course, known for his wine. In Pinoy-speak, that would be the Octoberfest in Metrowalk.

Singing for me is actually something that comes unnaturally. Like bearing conjoined twins or having three nipples.It's one artistic venture that is not part of my genetic composition. More often than not, I get away singing musical pieces with theatrics and incessant mid-chorus commentaries. Like faking a crustacean accent and sing Under the Sea or gush out the guttural lines to Born to be Wild

And yes, I add another year on top of more than two decades of deconstructing the face-lifted social cheekbones of life. And though I still have not been bestowed the gift of immortality, I find the gratification of being remembered render the same effect. Booyah!

It was one of those gut feel.The same thing girls get when they are expecting their monthly hemmorhage, or how some animals sense rain is coming, of when you have this weird inclination to break the glass case of a fire extinguisher, and smash a teammate's head against the red tank.So out of indigestion (gut feel, gets?)
