Masyadong Seryoso Ang Mga Tomboy Sa Pilipinas

By
by the lesfriendly girl

Hindi na ko mag-eelaborate. Ipoprove ko na lang. Three cases in point:

1. Meron na bang lesbianang stand-up comic sa Pilipinas? Wala. Puro bakla o trans M-to-F. Dahil ba hindi marunong magpatawa ang mga tomboy? Hindi witty? Hindi naman. Bakit si Claudia Cogan



and other lesbian comediennes, keribels naman?

Actually, may mga kilala naman akong mga bayot na kayang chumorva sa pagpapatawa sa stage. Kaso, baka hindi pa sila nabibigyan ng chance. Or, hindi lang talaga uso.

2. Ano ba ang event ng mga Little Lulu? Poetry reading. Film showing. Forums. Food trip. Talks over coffee. Board game marathon. Mga bandang kumakanta ng lesbian versions ng Bon Jovi at Alanis songs. Mga exclusive party na may mga pole dancers minsan. Ano beh, parang beerhouse lang.

3. Look at our publications. Pag nagbasa ako ng Baklese, hindi na ko makahinga sa kakatawa. Intro page pa lang, kinakabagan na ko. Pero parang walang joke book ang mga byaning sa ating beautiful islands, ati. Literary and Art Folio, meron.

Are you convinced your name is Nicole?

Actually, feeling ko, hindi naman sa wala kaming sense of humor. Wala lang talagang chance. OR, hindi uso.

Period.

PS. Tomboy din ako pero hindi ko kayang lumaban ng sense of humor. So, isa din pala akong case in point. Chika.

    That was an interesting question. Medyo napanga-nga ako. Ba't nga ba? I mean, not that I am trying to stereotype my "brothers", but iilan lang ang comedians na nakita kong mga tibo.

    Is it because of the "being macho" thingy nang mga tibo? I'm sure me mga tibong magagaling sa comedy. Like Margaret Cho? hahahah! Charing!

    yeah oo nga no?

    never pa akong nakakita ng tomboy dito sa Pinas na stand up commedian?

    saka bakit kapag nakakarinig ako ng tomboy, isang lang nabi-visualize ko sa kanila?

    Seryoso.

    hhhmm.. that's something.

    i have lesbian friends that have sense of humor naman. though i have to say some are serious. Especially in relationships, they tend to be suicidal. Bakit, may mga serious gays din naman diba? Yung mga closeted...

    I agree. Maybe dahil hindi nga USO dito. A decade ago, my friends and I was referring a chinese looking girl talent to a talent scout. he turned her down because of her being chinita...di daw kase uso. He even said, meron na raw ba kami nakitang intsik na sumikat dito sa Pinas. pero ngayon...dami nang intsik celebs dito di ba. But I think there's something about the Pinoy Lez culture that keeps womyn from letting out the gas. Calling social anthropologists out there for answers....

    hmm, yes. tama ito. masyadong seryoso ang mga tomboy -- saan nanggagaling ang contagious humor ng mga bakler? at kung contagious siya, bakit di tayo nahahawa?

    aminin din natin that it cuts both ways: iniisip din ng marami na hanggang slapstick lang ang bakla, which is not true ha.

Mga parausang lumang sinehan

By
NAG DESISYON na ang Korte Suprema na labag sa Konstitusyon ang ordinansa na nagbabawal ng short time sa mga motel sa siyudad ng Maynila. Wala na ring balak pa umanong maghain ng apela si mayor Alfredo Lim sa naturang desisyon. Nagbabala naman si Lim na handa niyang ipasara ang anumang motel sa lungsod ng Maynila sakaling may makita sila na pinapayagan na magpapasok ng mga estudyante para magshort time. Pero, teka, ito talaga ang pakay ko, ang mga lumang sinehan sa Metro Manila. Taong 2005, balak ko na itong iparating sa dati kong boss na Kongresista, ang patuloy na pamamayagpag ng mga lumang sinehan sa Maynila. Subalit, may tila tinik sa aking lalamunan na nakabara. Tila, wala akong boses sa tuwing ako ay maghahanda sa aking mga sasabihin. Tila, nakagapos ang aking mga kamay para isulat ang mga hakbang na dapat kong irekomenda para masulosyunan na ito. Alam ko, ikaw ay pamilyar ukol sa mga lumang sinehan sa buong Kamaynilaan. Sa unang pasok ko sa ganitong sinehan, ako ay tuwang tuwa. ...

Who Is Marco Morales?

By
by Reign Loleng Last week, I was able to see a movie called “Booking” and boy was I disappointed. I meant to write a review the film, but during my research I was more interested with its lead star – Marco Morales. I googled him and boy was I overwhelmed with the throng of blog articles (and pictures) about him. Who is he? A friend told me that he was once a part of GMA-7’s Sunday afternoon show SOP and was a singer and a member of a boy group SOP Showboyz. So is he a singer? Not quite. I checked his filmography – not much there – and I noticed that he has appeared prominently in three films - “Booking”, “Butas”, and “Walang Kawala.” All three films are independently produced and let’s be frank about this, they all sell sex. Of the three, “Booking” and “Walang Kawala” are gay-themed and I happened to have seen both of them. So he is actor, then? Let’s check. In “Walang Kawala” he only appeared in few scenes but he is very memorable for showing his goods. He played a macho dancer so a...
