THE POEM UNDER PRESSURE!!!

Another Night for inventory but this time it is in our Showroom in Sharjah, UAE. I arrived there with smile on my face and thinking that Im not that pressure about my life here because its fair enough. But then, around 2Am, July 6, 2007 when I started to sit on the rag section and all of the sudden my mind became empty.

I was also looking to someone but it seems he's blurred but when he came in front of me, it was my boss asking me to do the work since its very late and we have to finish our inentory. But prior to that... Im not just looking but instead Im thinking! Creating a poem base on my feeling that night!

I hope that you like the poem that i wrote and it really has my full emotion and I dont know why.... Maybe you may analyze or if your a poem addict, you can send a comment and interpret the entire poem....

here it goes...

MIDNIGHT

by: Me

Some part of me is soon to di,e

Some part of me is soon to fly,

It makes me weaker,

It makes me wiser.

Love is killing me far away from home,

Love is giving me hope for goal,

Goal that losing

Goal that dying.

Sunrise, Sunset

Sometimes, Some left

Sickness, I felt.

Each flowers that blooms,

Turns red doom

Is it the end?

Is it depend?

Oh God! I felt,

The love is melt.

I, soon to die and cry

I think what's the reason why

I try, I tie,

I cross, I hide,

I walk, I sight

The morning light

Try to hide

the feeling inside

Now, I cry

I dont know why....

THE PRIDE!!!!

Well its month of July and the Gay Pride around the world are now starting but some just finished with a very wonderful parade!!!

It is very essential to be part of this parade and celebration!!! It is the time when all of the gay people in the world start to unite and fight for the freedom, equality and diversity that we wanted long time ago!!!

In the Philippines, still, the gaypeople are not that united because of the inside discrimation (meaning: they discriminate each other) and this is a very sad fact that we need to admit! I attended the gay pride party last 2004, 2005 & 2006 and i miss this year's gay pride party... Thou most of them attend the party to look for someone to hook up or someone to meet for possible one night stand or a one night for forever romance.

To tell you honestly, one reason why I joined Mr. Gay Philippines 2007 is not only for the position or for the title just to come to US and c0mpete for an international competition but to show the world that we homosexuals can be a role model and give a positive image in our own community. Im a hidden activist, you know?!!! But thats my mission i think... Not only to accept, but to be visible to the public that we also need the same right that the straight people have...

Right now... its really hard for me to go and fight especially if you are in an Arab country where gays are not allowed.

Thou I miss this year's pride, I beleive that accepting myself as a real, true gayguy.. I know that deep within I commemorate and proud that I belong to this community... But then, I ask many gay people to support the projects, objectives, mission and vision of our community and be united so that we can live equally and have a great life not only for ourselves but in the future with ur partner and family...

HAPPY PRIDE EVERYONE!!!!
