Dyke Dialogues

A friend of mine who is one of the organizers invited me to come to this activity. I haven't attended one before and I am quite excited. If you are interested for a worthwhile discussion, please do come. Just read the details below:

Rainbow Rights Project (R-Rights), Inc., in cooperation with Radar Pridewear and The LWord Manila Meetup Group, will be holding its second informal chat/FGD this month, entitled "Dyke Dialogues: A Rainbow Exchange on Identities and Partnerships". It will be held on 20 October 2007, Saturday at the Radar Pridewear Roofdeck, FBR Arcade (above Yellow Cab), 317 Katipunan Avenue, Quezon City.

Aimed at reaching out to the young members of the LGBT Community, R-Rights members will be joined by veteran Lezz activists who want to interact with the new Lezz generation.

The activity will be a light discussion on gender identification and relationship dynamics and how these issues determine the Philippine LGBT advocacy landscape.

porky challenge

I decided to join on my coworkers little game called porky challenge last week. The objective of the game is to lose weight. I was excited to join since I had been waiting for this kind of opportunity for me to get a support group in losing weight. I am always on a constant struggle about my weight. I was so skinny during my childhood however,started gaining weight when I was in 3rd grade up to now. My current weight..whooping 260 lbs and I only stand 5'2 1/2.

The registration fee cost me P500 and every week we have to weight in and if we gain a pound we will pay P50 per pound. I have a good start. I only ate 1 square meal (breakfast) and brought fruits in the office to be eaten the whole shift if I will be hungry. Then, I won't eat anymore when I go home.

Btw, my starting weight before the challenge is 258 lbs (Monday, Oct 1). Last Friday, I was so excited to see if I lose any weight because I felt good and so light which I haven't felt for a long time. So I went to the office clinic and see for myself. I did lose a pound and made me so happy that I decided to celebrate my birthday. hehehe. Initially, I was contemplating not to celebrate it because I need to save money for the renovation of my parent's dilapidated house and also it means I have to prepare delectable foods which are high on fats plus drinking alcohol which is equal to more calories and a busted diet.

Weekends came and I was drunk for 3 days in a row. Yesterday we weight in and I was not surprised when I hit 260 lbs. I was so disappointed and sad which made me ate more when I got home. I hate this hideous cycle. Whenever I am sad and not feeling well, I will eat till I feel like vomiting. P U T A N G I N A!!!

9 WORDS WOMEN USE

I got this on my email and I thought that this is mostly true so I wanted to share this with you. Have a good laugh! :D

1. Fine: This is the word women use to
end an argument when they are right
and you need to shut up.

2 . Five Minutes: If she is getting
dressed, this means a half an hour.
Five minutes is only five minutes if
you have just been given five more
minutes to watch the game before
helping around the house.

3. Nothing: This is the calm before
the storm.. This means something, and
you should be on your toes. Arguments
that begin with nothing usually end in
fine.

4 . Go Ahead: This is a dare, not
permission. Don't Do It!

5 . Loud Sigh: This is actually a word,
but is a non-verbal statement often
misunderstood by men. A loud sigh
means she thinks you are an idiot and
wonders why she is wasting her time
standing here and arguing with you
about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for
the meaning of nothing.)

6. That's Okay: This is one of the
most dangerous statements a women can
make to a man. That's okay means she
wants to think long and hard before
deciding how and when you will pay for
your mistake.

7. Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do
not question, or Faint. Just say
you're welcome.

8. Whatever: Is a women's way of saying
F@!K YOU!

9. Don't worry about it, I got it:
Another dangerous statement, meaning
this is something that a woman has
told a man to do several times, but is
now doing it herself. This will later
result in a man asking "What's wrong?"
For the woman's response refer to #3.
