Akei and PG4M to Visit Home for the Golden Gays

In celebration of Manila Pride 2011, PinoyG4M and Akei will hold an Outreach Program to Home for the Golden Gays.

Much like Golden Acres or Home for the Aged, the Home serves as a refuge for the elderly but is targeted towards the elderly gay. What better way to celebrate this Gay Pride season than to give back to help those who were there before us.

This is an open invitation for anyone who wishes to help us help the Home. Anyone who wants to pledge any amount, you may contact Lanchie at (63) 917 365 9620 or send an email to lanchie@gmail.com.

For more information, you may visit the links above.

Minsan nabigyan ako ng isang laruan
Na siyang ikinatuwa ko naman
Ikinasaya, kaya napaglaruan
Hanggang sa ito'y napagsawahan.

Napagsawahan hanggang nakalimutan
Ni kung saan ko huling iniwan
Hindi ko na matandaan
Maaaring doon, maaaring diyan.

Hanggang isang araw aking nakita
Ang laruan ko, hawak ng isang bata.
Sigaw ko, "bata, bata, akin yan a!"
"Hindi ah! Akin 'to," sagot niya.

"Eh, sa'n mo ba yan nakuha?"
Tanong ko naman sa kan'ya.
"Dun o," sambit niya
Habang nakaturo sa basura.

Napatunayan kong yun nga ang laruan ko
Dahil ang basurang kanyang itinuro
Ay mga laman dati ng aking kwarto,
Mga pinaglumahan, pinagsawahan ko.

Samantala, biglang lumapit ang isa pang bata
At inagaw ang laruan ko mula sa isa pa.
Doon ako napaisip nang bigla
"Pinagaagawan nila yun e luma na?"

Kasabay nun ay bigla kong nadama,
Selos! Matinding selos sa kanila.
Sa isip ko, "akin yun ah!
Bakit ngayon nasakanila na?"

Habang sila'y nagaaway aking pinagmasdan
ang laruan kong kanilang pinagaagawan.
"Luma na nga pero akin pa rin 'yan!"
Paulit-ulit s'aking isipan.

Sa huli naisip ko na lang,
"Sino man maglaro s'aking laruan,
Kung saan-saan man ang kanyang mapuntahan,
Akin pa rin ang laruan na 'yan."

Para Kay B1

You deserve to find happiness and I don't want to be the one who will stop you from doing so. I may not ever be ready for what you are expecting. If you wait for me, you might just be waiting in vain.

You still have a long way ahead of you while I had been damaged a long time ago. Don't let me stop you from being happy. It's difficult for me to let go of something very special to me, but I already am full of cracks. A tighter grip on me might make me break and the pieces may just bleed you. I'm sorry. I really am.

You'll eventually find someone who can love you and treat you better than I can, someone who you can truly be happy with.

It's not easy to let you go, believe me, but I realized I won't be good for you. If you continue holding on to me, I can't promise that you won't get hurt and I don't want to see you get hurt. Especially not by me.

Letting you go might be the biggest mistake I'll ever make but I don't want to be selfish anymore. I've told you before that the reason why I stay with you is because you make me happy. I'm happy when I'm with you, but I realized you won't be truly happy just loving me. You deserve to be loved back.

Out there, somewhere, someone can love you the way you deserve.

Right now, you say you're okay with all that. You say that I should just let you love me and you'll be happy that way, but you're just drunk from what we had. Eventually, when you find another someone special, you'll realize you can be happier than you are with me.

The Juna Monologue: Uber Random Thoughts for the moment:

A double-decker peanut butter and strawberry jelly sandwich, a cup of coffee, a stick of cigarette, and Basia's Clear Horizon playing in the background for breakfast. Breakfast? Hah! I haven't even slept yet so this should be counted as - uhm - midnight snack? Since I'm supposed to have slept hours ago but still haven't and instead am eating?

Sometimes I hate the night shift but I've gotten so used to it after living like this for several years, I've even gotten used to hating it. Go figure!

Oh, dear! I just remembered I have almost a month's stack of dirty clothes but haven't had the time to get them to the laundry shop. No. Actually, I've just been too lazy to do that. Now I'm running out of decent clothes to wear so I'm gonna have to finally drop by the laundry shop to have 'em washed.

I also need to shop for grocers. Our cupboard's almost empty. I wanted to make an Omelet earlier but found no eggs and I was too lazy to go buy some. Scratch that. I was too lazy to dress (since I'm only wearing boxers at the moment) to go buy.

Cigarette's all burnt out. Let me light another stick...



*puffing smoke*

I should quit. I've been planning on quitting but never gotten around finishing up the plan. Oh, well. Planning is too tiring, so what the heck!

Jeez! I'm such a lazy ass, I know.

Wait! This is supposed to be a thread for my one-liners, right? So this shouldn't be here, right? But it's my thread, right? Am I making any sense?

No, I guess not. I never make sense, anyway. I wonder how the people around me could survive my ranting! Sometimes I feel like my thoughts have absolutely no coherence. I guess that's why I only come up with one-liners. Just to be on the safe.

Speaking of one-liners and this thread, I can't even remember how this thread came up. I just know it's Bananafish's fault why this thread exists but I can't remember the story behind it. Was there even a story? Or was this thread just another random thought? Maybe I'm just a random thought and I don't really exist!

Oops! There I go again. Rant! Rant! Rant!

Someone make me stop! Please!

Now I'm just typing along and my fingers are actually just hitting the keys without thinking. I think I'm just typing in rhythm to Basia's "An Olive Tree" which is now playing in the background. It's such a conducive music to type to.

Err...

"Conducive music to type to"? What the hell was that?

Bitter Haikus

This land had been parched
and had so long awaited
for the rain to pour.

Its cracked surfaces
longed for a taste of raindrop.
So long ago dried.

It looked up above
to the high heavens and prayed
for rain to pour down.

And when the rain came
to quench this dry land's thirst,
it came quick then left.

Once parched, now it's mud
but will eventually dry
sooner or later.

Limos

Barya lang ang hinhingi ko.
Baryang ‘di mahalaga sa’yo.
Baryang pantawid ng gutom.
Baryang maibibigay mo.

Kahit maliit na halaga
Kaya kong dyan magtiyaga.
Mapawi ko lang ang uhaw.
Ayos na. Kuntento na.

Hindi ba talaga maaari
Konting barya’y maitabi?
Makukuntento naman ako
Sa baryang kahit kakaunti.

Kung ‘di talaga maibibigay.
Sige, dito lang ako maghihintay
Hanggang magkaroon ka na,
Hanggang handa ka nang ibigay
Baryang kukumpleto s’aking buhay.
