At One with Nature

Nature trip at a very low cost...

with a very good friend and office mate, Jonnie

After an ample alcohol booze and without having enough sleep yet, we headed straight at the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife at Quezon Avenue for a change and to be at one with nature. It only happens rarely so why not take the opportunity. 8pesos isn't bad for a park entrance anyway.

Phyron's 1st Anniversary

It was our first anniversary but im here in Santiago City and Rhon is there in Cainta. I was supposed to get back before this day but things kinda got out of hand. It even feels so awkward coz Rhon and I had a little argument over text messaging, i guess we are just 2 people in love trying so hard to make this day memorable but distance blocked the way. Im sure we'll be able to make-up asap. Happy Anniversary Rhon...iloveyou so much!

Men 101: Atom Araullo

An online magazine featured 4 males from the ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs team in its 10 cutest newsmen in the Philippines list.

Topping the list of Spot.ph is TV Patrol reporter and Umagang Kay Ganda host Atom Araullo, who was dubbed as the "prettiest newsman on national TV" for his lean frame, mestizo features and boyish charm.

"Atom Araullo has a face that could convince young girls to be more responsible citizens -- as soon as they stop gushing over how cute he is," the website read.

Not only is he cute, he is also athletic and smart, Spot.ph noted. Araullo is an Applied Physics graduate of the University of the Philippines, where he is a well-known activist.

He's also a champion triathlete and trained in soccer, tennis, volleyball, taekwondo, platform diving, mountaineering and underwater diving.

"Indeed, it's a bonus that he's brainy. Because, really, all he has to do to melt our hearts is to go on air. This Atom is certainly the bomb!" Spot.ph said.

Landing on the third spot is Alex Santos, who is a regular on TV Patrol's weekend edition as well as morning show Umagang Kay Ganda. Despite his "salt-and-pepper" hair, Spot.ph said Santos retains his "boy-next-door" appeal.

"Watching him deliver the news on TV Patrol's weekend edition is a pleasant experience -- even if he's dishing out daunting facts...He makes the news more attractive," the website read.

Also on the list are ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC) hosts TJ Manotoc and Paolo Abrera, who ranked 7th and 8th, respectively.

Spot.ph said it "can't point a finger" on their appeal, but found both men sexy nonetheless.

What BISEXUALITY really is...

Most people believe that bisexuality is an abnormal condition of dilemma, that it is a straight individual on his/her way to being a gay or the other way around. The reality is bisexuality is a legitimate sexual orientation by itself.

Possibly no other term in the sphere of human behavior is employed with such imprecision. Let’s first discuss what bisexuality doesn't imply. In traditional cultures of ancient Rome and Greece many males were bisexual as they were wedded to ladies and had teenage boys as lovers. This set-up was possibly the source of few of the great legendary and lyric verses of Hellenic periods.

First of all, never presume that the bisexual party is into courting you before you validate this with them. A few bisexuals don’t want a fully committed and monogamous union, some others either don’t wish to start a family yet (like a straight, lesbian and gay or relationship) or think they’ll never be satisfied sexually with just one person. Accordingly, you could go forward in your bisexual courting endeavor. Some others who are completely transparent with you can help you save a lot of inconvenience and hurt feelings, but don’t anticipate them to always do that, very often it is your responsibility.

Unlike homosexuality, bisexuality does not seem so unethical in the eyes of contemporary society. You can even find ancient ethnicities wherein bisexuality was normal, and it was not seen as an issue so long as they ultimately got married to someone from the opposite gender. Even though bisexuality does not seem so unethical in the eyes of many heterosexuals, the lesbian and gay community views it in a different way. The majority of gays and lesbians look at bisexuality as a phase of indecision. Oftentimes, they even view bisexuals as individuals who are in refusal of their homosexuality. Actually, there is a joke which goes “Bi now, gay later.” Even though a few bisexuals do become homosexual, this is not a common phenomenon.

One advantage of bisexuality is the fact that it enables a person to engage in completely different psychological and sexual roles. With a lady, the bisexual may be fatherly and aggressive, and with a different man, childlike and unaggressive. With a lady he may be open, pleasant, and confiding, a genuine associate in the complicated relationship, and with a guy he may be cold, mysterious, and animal-like. Or he may be sensitive and supporting with a young man and somewhat rough and aggressive with a more mature woman. Homosexuality may be restricted to lasting human relationships and heterosexuality for temporary enjoyment, or the other way around.

As bisexuality has become more tolerable both in traditional western countries as well as other civil ones like Australia, the United Kingdom and Ireland increasing number of people are admitting their sexual preferences. This implies that as a bisexual you’ve more alternatives, than ever before, in finding your ideal bisexual date. Presently there are even bisexual groups, and huge number of people on-line keen on bisexual activities.

Rainy days are here again. And to keep us protected from the heavy downpours, we bought these. One green, and one brown.
