Request

Recently got an email from a long-time blog reader requesting if I could post pics of myself during my teens. He's curious to see what I looked like.

Well...request granted. I apologize for the haircut. LOL! ;-)

Keep in mind that I spent my teens in the late 80s up to the early 90s. I was born in 1975.

Who would have thought that a kid who had spent 7 years of elementary education and 4 years of high school, in a school run by strict Catholic nuns would turn up to be the blogger that you are currently browsing right now. Haha! Lagot ako sa mga madre. LOL!

This is why I do not intend to attend any more reunions.

I didn't enjoy high school anyway. High school's only saving grace was my crush!

High school crush, I love ya! LOL!

Hindi ka mawawala dito sa aking puso't damdamin. Naks!

Bakit hindi mo ko pinapansin noon? Bakit??!!! Sipain kita diyan eh. Hehe!

The First Picture Of You - Lotus Eaters

Facebook

Oh the exciting world of Facebook.

It has certainly changed the way we live our lives.

It has so many amazingly wonderful uses. You can you use it to...

1. Stalk your friends and their friends.

2. Stalk your ex and his/her friends.

3. Accept 1000+ friend invites from people you hardly or don't know at all to prove to the world

that you have lots of "friends."
4. Create a second Facebook account to add more random people.

5. Post statements and photos of the stuff you have or recently bought to remind others of the things that they lack.

6. Upload a photo album consisting of a hundred plus pictures of your recent vacation...which nobody will look at.

7. Post about a recent bad experience  (i.e. a heartbreak, a lover's quarrel, a bad day, the smelly guy in the metro rail)  in the attempt to get public sympathy.

8. Use a profile photo wherein you're wearing next to nothing to convince people that you are hot.

9. Post photos of yourself on the beach wearing Bench briefs (Pinoys only) instead real swimming trunks or boardshorts, because you are such a studly catch in your colorful brief huh?.. Yes you are... Yes you are!

10. Quote phrases from the Bible to make people believe that you're a good person.

11. copy/paste a Hallmark greeting card quotable quote to match your emotion for that time. I.E. a heartbreak, a bitter separation, matters of the heart, a new lover.   

12. Post even more photos of yourself for stalkers to steal and use in other websites.

13. Update your status every 15 minutes to prove to the world that you have no life.

14. "Poke" people to death instead of sending actual messages.

15. Add random people in your  list and not communicate with them....ever.

16. Reject friend requests from ugly people thus destroying their self-confidence. Only accept the good looking ones.

17. Post vague statements (i.e. *sigh*  or i'm feeling...never mind, or hay buhay... or kaasar) to attract attention...you attention whore you...

18. TyP3 L@yk d!z to attract a league of jejemons.

19. Press the thumbs up button on your own status and statements.

20. Post a photo of a bag, shoes, calculator, panties, eggplants, miley cyrus, justin bieber whatever and then tag your friends to it...much to their dismay.

21. Constantly invite people to join you in Farmville and other FB games to annoy them.

22. Ask people to try an imaginary application that will allow you to see the people who viewed your profile.

23. Post the location and map of the place you've just checked in to make you look cool, and for stalkers to locate you, and for other people to avoid you.

24. Embed videos that will not play in FaceBook.

25. Post videos of Charice, any barely half-Pinoy Hollywood celebs who cannot even converse fluently in any Filipino language, beauty pageants, and so forth and so on, and then shout out to the world "Proud to be Pinoy!" because Filipinos are so easily proud of the least important matters and they choose to ignore the bigger mess going on in their country.

Oh Facebook, what shall one do...or won't do without you. LOL! :-)

PS

A few days ago. I was checking my blog and noticed that there was a visitor from Chino Hills, CA

on my live traffic feed. Reminds me of someone :-) I'll never forget ADP.

High 5

Throughout the smiles and tears we shed,

through the anger and laughters that followed,

it's amazing how our journey continues to be long

and sometimes difficult,

and yet wonderfully rewarding at the same time.

Whoever thought that two people who only met online, trying to mend their broken hearts

would eventually come together in real life and last this long?

Happy 5 years to both of us.

May our journey together through life be as long and colorful

as it possibly can....

PS

...and as long as you keep serving

me with your delicious food, we'll be OK. LOL! ;-p

Masungit ako 'pag gutom eh. Hehehe!

Progress...

Yes, stomach still needs some work. No, I'm not aiming to have 6-pack abs. I just want to tone my bod again. Whenever I watch my YouTube videos particularly the oldest ones, I feel ashamed of myself for letting my tummy inflate. LOL! Medyo lumobo eh.

I think my biggest mistake wasn't really the food I was having (food was only the small part of the equation) but my motivation for working out. These last few months, my motivation wasn't to maintain my physical fitness, I've stupidly placed unnecessary pressure on myself because I wanted to look good for other people, people who aren't even important in my life. As a result, working out felt like a chore, I didn't enjoy it, and I became lazy doing it. Mid-life crisis I guess.

I started going to the gym when I was in my late 20s. Back then, my main and only goal was to be fit so that I'll be less sickly. I wasn't concerned about other's opinions whether they liked my body or not which is probably why I enjoyed working out and why I've gotten good results out of my workouts.

Anyway, I've already come to terms with myself. I've accepted the fact that with age comes physical changes that I have to adapt to. My metablolism isn't as high as it used to be so I have to balance what I eat. I'm a lot happier and relaxed now when I workout. I'm not conscious about the opinions of others anymore, especially with the way I look. I already have partner who loves and accepts me and gets horny whenever I take my clothes off. LOL! Hahaha!  

I've had my share of "the scene", time to let the younger ones have a piece of it. 

Maybe I can mentor them. LOL! :-) 

It's so hot! Summer is in full swing. I'm glad I live here in the province, far away from the

scorching heat of the city.

It's sooo hot! It's probably too hot to even have sex. LOL! Sex talk na naman? Haha!

Oh no! I can't believe I've just said that. Please allow me to correct my previous statement. 

It's never too hot to have sex, especially if it's with a hottie hot stud! Haha!

Have a wonderful and hopefully less sweaty summer day, unless...you're having sex. LOL! :-)

I Miss Ya ;-p

I miss my......flat tummy. Haha! 

Ano, astig ba dating? Nasa pag-eemote lang yan. LOL! ;-)

That's me around 2009.

I'm trying to get back into that physical state again as far as my waist is concerned but it's quite difficult. My waistline used to be 29 inches. Now it's around 31 inches of flabs. Oh! No!

Why???!!!! Why do I love eating......forbidden food! Haha! Bakit kaysarap ng bawal ;-p

It's so annoying that whenever I sit, I feel my stomach beginning to bulge and fold. LOL!

I know, it's part of aging (gaining a tummy), I am going to be 36 this year after all but it's still a little irritating nonetheless. 

Why do we have grow old! It's so annoying! Grrr!!! ;-)

Grabe, walang wala na sa kalendaryo ang edad ko. Kainis!

A few asked me why is it that whenever I post shirtless pics am I always in the same room.

Well, that's my personal gym at home. I sometimes take pics of myself after a workout to see whether my body is improving or not.

 The equipments aren't that expensive when I bought them years ago. It's my gift to myself. The multi-gym, weights, and bench all cost me less than P25,000 (around $600) which is about the same price as a mid-range smartphone. It's a health investment.

I'm not fond of going to commercial gyms. Too many distractions & I hate waiting in line to use weights or equipments. The treadmill is from my youngest sis. She left it when she and her husband moved in to their own home. She doesn't want to use it anymore since she's more into pilates and dancing.

By the way,some guys actually emailed me regarding my joke about umm...possible petpet boylets! LOL!

OK! OK! If anyone else is interested, a screening is gonna be held at the Quezon City Memorial Circle this Saturday at exactly 12 midnight. My assistant, the fashion czar of Masbate, Mr. Mitoy Poreno will be there with his mahiwagang measuring tape to evaluate and umm..."measure" the possible candidates. ;-)

 Applicants must be 18 years old and above and I just want to stress that anyone "measuring" below 6 inches shall be a ground for instant disqualification! Hehehe! Anyone caught wearing Bench briefs shall be imprisoned in my dungeon, and anyone claiming to be bisexual shall first have to undergo a compulsory lovemaking session with my lady assistant, former Ms. Wurrrd 2nd runner up Ms. Goofa Gutierrez to prove if he's indeed  bisexual. Haha! ;-p

However, unlike other searches, the search for Toyo's Mr. Petpet Boylet 2011 rewards candidates that have scandalous pictures and videos circling over the internet by immediately promoting them    into the semi-finals. Hehehe! Ano pa hinihintay niyo? Apply na! Bilis! Haha! Coronation night will be broadcast live this Sunday on Eh-Be-Es/Se-Be-En network. LOL!

Afternoons...

 ♪ Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite, looking forward to a little afternoon delight ♫

LOL! I wish I can have my share of some hot afternoon delights but life has become boring. It has turned into a routine of going to the office and then going home.

I'm at the very top floor of my house. It's where I usually chill at the end of the day, checking my messages & emails on my iPhone while enjoying the cool breeze and watching the sun set. Naks! :-)

I'm so bored here in the province. Kakainis! This is such a sleepy provincial town and everyone (the cute ones at least) seem to be hiding in the closet. Grrr! Why are they hiding from me? Haha! LOL!

My favorite "funbud" from Kiwi land was here a month ago. I wasn't able to meet him. I wasn't feeling well and also there's conflict in our scheds. Huhuhu! Arteng katawan 'to. Walang pakisama :-( He's the only guy that I do not need Ryan's approval to go out with because he's also good friend of ours. *sigh* *sob* *weep* Yummy pa naman ng katawan non ;-)

Anyway, I have a new umm..."prospect" LOL! Kaya lang 20 lang ang age, baka gawin akong daddy. Hahaha! Hay naku, dati ako ang twink, ngayon papa na ang tawag sa akin. Sadyang, tumatanda na po ang inyong lingkod. Inyong lingkod??!!! Haha! He's quite young though, only 20 AND he calls me daddy! Goodness! Most of the guys hitting on me lately are from the 20something age range. I'll just turn him into one of my petpet boylets. LOL! The more the merrier because sharing is caring. Haha! Kasalanan po kasi ang maging swapang at masugid po akong naniniwala sa kasabihang "sharing is caring" kaya I'm willing to share myself. LOL! Loko-loko. Lagot na naman ako kay kumander. Biro lang ummm...semi-biro lang ;-p

Ballads 1970-1979

I've received a number of emails requesting me to do another countdown, particularly regarding 70s music. The decade has some great music by the way, but the fashion is ummm... Hehe! Enjoy listening :-)

Hello

Kamusta? That means "Hello" by the way. Back to the gym after a loooong hiatus. I got sick as I've mentioned in my previous posts. I'm showing my umm...cleavage? Uuuuyyyyy... Hahaha! The strange thing is, my muscles shrunk but my tummy grew bigger when I was recovering. Oh no! Ryan kept feeding me with his delicious cooking. It's all his fault. LOL! Why do I also love eating rice so much? Huhuhu! Kasalanan din ni kanin. Hindi kasi kumpleto ang kainan kapag walang kanin diba? Anyway, I've switched to brown rice. Good luck to moi ;-p

Valentine's was boring. We didn't even go out. I didn't even get any flowers! Grrrrr! LOL! Sabi ko sa kanya maski santan or gumamela masaya na ako. Basta may flowers. Ipagpag niya muna, noon college kasi may nagbigay sa kin, pinitas lang niya sa campus 'di man lang pinagpag, kinagat tuloy ako ng langgam. Kinagat ko labi niya in return. Haha! ;-p I told him he could pick any flowers from the garden. Doesn't have to be a rose. Just make sure they don't have any ants. If the ants bit me, I'll bite his lips in return. Gently bite his lips I mean. LOL! 

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to settle for his three words; "I love you."

I love you too and I love you all especially my 5 loyal blog readers. Used to be only 4, now they're 5. Toyo you are slowly climbing up to success. Hahaha! Love ya! Mwah! ;-)

Love Songs 2000-2010

This is the final part of my countdown blogs.

We've covered the 80s and 90s, now we're covering the first decade of the 21st century. Next time I do another countdown will be on 2020. My goodness! I'll be 45 by that time. I wonder if I'll still be as flirtatious as I am today. LOL! Kaalembongan na naman. Ang aking opisyal na bulaklak ay ang Alembong. Haha! I chose these songs because they remind me of certain men in my life, both past & present. LOL! Men talaga no? Plural? Lagot na naman ako. Kurutin na naman niya ako sa singit. Antipatiko! Happy Love Month! :-)

Meal Time Prayer :-)

Dear Heavenly Father,

Please don't let these carbs go to my waist,

and the fat blemish my face.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,

Amen ;-)



Just finishing my second order of a king-sized crab. I know! I know! Cholesterol.

I will refrain from eating crabs for a month. Huhuhu! I love shellfish. Takaw ko no? ;-p
Photo was taken during the Holidays before I got sick.
I was sick for the first 2 weeks of January. Cough + cold during the first week. Fever on the 2nd week. Was advised to rest & take it easy on the third week.
I'm glad I'll be able to go back to working out again on Monday. I want to get back in-shape.
Need to buff up once more, I had unwillingly lost too many pounds when I was sick.
From my normal 130lbs. I'm down to 122lbs. which isn't right for my 5'7" height.
Oh well...I now have a reason to food binge. Soy milk and chicken nuggets here I come :-)

Aklan

A short video of my recent visit to the province of Aklan.
Happy New Year! :-)

Boracay



Recently went on vacation in Boracay Island located in the province of Aklan. It's one of the top tourist destinations here in the Philippines. I haven't been to Boracay in years. These sceneries are but a small idea of what you can expect to see should you visit it. The island offers lots more beautiful sites to see and experience. The people are of course very friendly too. Retiring in a place like this is one of my dreams...   

♫ now we can walk... now we can run...

♪ now we can stay all day in the sun...

...just you and me ♫

♪ and i can be...

part of your world... ♫

Yeah! Yeah! I love The Little Mermaid. Hehehe! 

Nakakarelate kasi ako sa story niya. Nakakarelate?!!! LOL! ;-P 

Happy Holidays!!!!

Ballads II

In my last video blog, I presented some of my favorite ballads from the 80s.

This time around it's the 90s turn.

The 90s wasn't a happy period in my life. Fortunately, it had great songs that helped me get by back then. 25 memorable ballads in 10 minutes. Enjoy listening :-)
Ricky Martin...Tommy Page. I love you!!! LOL!

Currently recovering from a stomach flu. My fever is gone but my tummy still acts up

from time to time. This is such a nasty experience. It's frustrating having to go to the bathroom every few hours. I hate every moment of it. Ang sakit na ng pwet ko, pati bayag ko lumaylay na. Hahaha! Dios mio!

Why is God teasing me again? LOL! I'll just have to laugh it off or else I'll only get more frustrated.

Three days of stomach flu can get a toll on one's body. My body has shrunk. All of my efforts to get my bod beach worthy by December, wasted! Hay buhayyyy... I'm very careful with what I eat, I don't know why & how I got this.

Yung mga makakadate ko sana this month, cancelled ko na. Kawawa naman ang mga boys. Baka magtampo na sa kin ;-)

Well, guess I have to eat a lot and workout...a lot once I'm fully recovered.

Stupid life's trials.
I'll just think of my new crush, I'll feel much better :-)

Apples of the Eye

Ryan's back to his old vice/smoking so that means I'm going back to my old vice too....cute bois. LOL!
Decisions! Decisions! Been getting "friendly" (fine! been flirting! lol)  with two guys lately. Both are cute. Both are either residing within or next to my town. Both are from good backgrounds. Hindi mga mukhang ikakahiya sa mga friends i.e. 'di pipitsugin. LOL!

Problem is, I can only choose one.

Guy # 1 is a nurse. Ewan ko ba, malapit sa akin mga nurse. I have dated nurses in the past. They always score big points when it comes to hygiene and they score further more when it comes to performance. They know how to pleasure their man. Human biology and anatomy are their fortes in the first place PLUS I love seeing them in their uniform...and then taking it off. Hehehe! Kinky huh? Wag lang nila akong iinjectionan ok? Bawal! Hindi ako nagpapainjection. Masakit. Once lang ako nagpainjection out of curiosity (by Ryan). Ayoko na. Sakit ng pwet ko for 3 days. I'm a giver not a receiver. My backdoor is for exits only. LOL! ;-)

Guy #2 is a professor. Based on my experience dating educators, they know their way inside the classroom but only know a few tricks playing in the sack. LOL! Guy # 2 is SUPER cute though.

Ryan usually only gives me permission to play with 1 guy, after that it'll take a month or more before he allows me again. Will I be the naughty patient or the teacher's pet? Ooohhh the hassles of flirting & kaalembongan. Hahaha!!!

Anyway, I've still yet to get the go signal from my loving partner/commander/gwardiya sibil/Ryan. LOL! Kelan kaya niya ako bibigyan ng "release forms?" Haha! :-)

Now and Then

I wonder if time has been kind to me.

 Have been quite stressed lately, making me feel old. Feeling ko losyang na ako. LOL!

I feel like retiring from "the scene." After all, I am 35.

Pero yung mga interesadong umeksena sa buhay ko eh sila na lang maghanap sa kin. Hehe! :-)

I think there's gonna be another high school reunion but I don't feel like attending it.

Besides, I'm avoiding a certain umm...batchmate/summer fling ;-)

It will be too awkward if I bumped into him.

Baka ibang bumping kasunod na mangyari na naman. Hehe! The bumping might turn into a grinding and a whole lot of pumping. LOL!

Awww....

My baby boy is sick :-( Enzo has dermatitis.

He has to wear that silly Elizabethan collar until his skin condition is cured. Looks like a satellite dish to me. LOL! Don't let those puppy eyes fool ya. Once you remove his cone, he turns into this very hyperactive pooch ;-) Get well soon baby! Mwah!

On another note. I'm pleased to announce that Ryan has finally quit smoking. He hasn't had a cig for a month now. He got sick (fever) for a week and in that span of time wasn't able to smoke or had the urge to smoke. I told him to take it as an opportunity to quit the nasty habit, which he did. Hellelujah! Haha!

Still on another note (or in tagalog - nota. LOL!), I've been getting emails asking me what my biggest mistake was and how I overcame it, a la Ms. Universe 2010 question. Mga badush talaga, adik sa pageants. LOL! Gay men are so into pageants huh? ;-)

Anyway here's my answer: One of the biggest mistake I had ever made was to let a guy cheat on me not once but twice. I overcame that mistake by kicking him out of my life and then f@#king his fling later on. Problem solved. Thank you ladies and gentlemen and have a wonderful day. LOL! ;-)

Ballads

It's been a while since I've last video blogged. By the way, I was dressed in such a way because I was about to go and attend a formal event.

I didn't put on my suit yet because it's too warm :-) This video blog is about my favorite ballads from the 80s. Did your favorite make it in my list? ;-) In my next blog I'll present one from the 90s and from this decade. So sit back. Relax... And Reminisce...

Singapore

A short video clip of my recent visit to Singapore. Enjoy :-)

Sick?

And the diagnosis is......Toyo's currently suffering from "repression!"

That's right! I'm repressed...from playing around!

Ryan's job is now home-based! That cat is always around. The mouse can't play. The cat doesn't wanna play too bec. he's always tired from work. Huhuhu! Mouse gotta play at least 4-5 days a week ya know? ;-p

I told Ryan that he and I are already in our mid 30's. We only have a small window of opportunity left to enjoy the young ones. LOL! Once we turn 40, it's all downhill. Most gay men say that 40 is 50 in gay years, and the gay scene always puts a premium on youth, which is a sad fact. Oh no! Lagi daw siya pagod because of work, ayaw naman niya ako payagan makipaglaro sa iba. Ano ba yan?! Swapang. Sakim! LOL! Share mo naman ako sa iba Babe. Kailangan ko na magpa change oil. Haha! Share me babe, I have plenty of love for everyone. Dati naman pinapayagan ako, nagmemenopause siguro kaya masungit lagi. Hehehe! I call upon my loyal blog readers....all four of them (Haha!) to stop Ryan from repressing and oppressing me. LOL!
