GUMISING KA MARUJA!

“Mata, mata, mata, mata !!!!”  My mama had been shouting like that everyday everytime at 5:00 in the morning when we (five kids) were still going to elementary school in the Philippines.  She goes without failing at the same time with the rising of the sun and the “tilaoks” of the roosters. I hated it then, because this meant that we have to do all the assigned tasks but first has to brave it up for that first splash of cold water in our still warm sleeping body - awakened!  It was always a shock but you are supossed to feel better afterwards, she would always say.   But even now, I shiver at that thought!  Were we in an army camp?  And my mother being a teacher, could also be the bride of Hitler and she has already started her role when she shouted her alarm.

(BTW - these mormon guys are really HOT!, worth dreaming about. Click here for more HOT mormons.  But where are these hot mormons, the only ones I saw are fat big  chubby ones …)

 

 

Fast forward today - my mother’s nagging voice has been effectively replaced by the equally irritating sound of the alarm clocks, my mobile alarms and sometimes N’s “wake you up call” (I told him one time he reminded me of my mother).  I hated waking up in the morning especially during winter and I’ve never been a morning person as far as I can remember.   But then, you have to get up and out of that comfortable donna and drag yourself to the bathroom to take that hot shower - (which is a good transition somehow, much much better than those ice cold water in the Philippines). 

Nothing lasts forever.  Even that most beautiful sleep.  Something somehow should wake you up!  But recently deep in my slumber I sometimes wish I would be waken up once more by mother’s stacatto voice heralding the start of a new day  ”Mata, mata, mata!”.  Or would you rather be waken up by either of these two hot mormon guys attached  Am I missing something?

A PERSONAL PAUSE … AND A POSE!

 

PAUSE 1: THE OMG POSE

OMG. omg, ohhh may gaaaaddd!!! … it is past mid year again and 2008 will be gooone !!!  And yet here in Melbourne with the winter going on it seems like time stands still and frozen.  Very ironic ngah!  My brain is not working and the only thing that make me wake up to go to work for the past weeks was to check what was going on with the Miss Universe.  Ang vavao ng lolah !!!  Yes, I am obssessed fanatic and I have been posting some bashful comments in various forums.  And now that it is gonnnne - what is life after the pageant ???  I have been a total social recluse … BTY This photo was with the Binibining Pilipinas Melbourne contestant.  She did not make it too, just like Jennifer!  So strike a pose!

PAUSE 2:  THE DARK QUEEN POSE

I have been laxed too with my drag activities - I dunno … there are so many drag queens now in the Asian scene and maybe my drag angel agent is busy somewhere!  But never mind, I had time to relax and read some books and just eat, sleep and getting fatter …  I think I want to do something like a Dark Queen Joker chanelling the late Heath Ledger

Actually, I am depressed since I am getting fat - or I am getting fat because I am depressed.  Whatever!!  This cholesterol chain has to stop somehow … I stopped smoking for (long) while now and I think with this healthy living (minus the exercises and the gym) makes me gain more calories quite easily - not good for my drag career … hmmm I actually like Dayana’s make up.  I just need to practice her smile…  pose!

PAUSE 3: THE PA CUTE AKO POSE

And it is very hard but at the same time rewarding to become a gay mum or dad to two cute, adorable and yet full of energy puppies who loves and adore meh … Honestly, my heart goes tap, tap, thap whenever they are around … but sometimes when I want total peace and serenity while singing some Leah Salonga songs these two won’t stop barking, azzz in kalowka cheniz …   It is now more than six months … and having these two new members of my family, somehow lessens my recurring homesickness and paranoia panic attacks, and helping me to find peace and home where I am, not discounting of course the ever present presence and support from my loving husband/lover/partner and friend … Che!  Pose !

 PAUSE 4 : THE PLASTIC SMILE POSE

The light at the end of this winter tunnel is my holiday to the Philippines … yes! I think this will be my next stop! Just like life  … in the amazing race … !!!

And while typing this just a cute thought occured to me… if something happens to me then who will take care of my blog ??? (As if?)  Do I have to include this in my will and testament?  Who will inform my readers and my friends in the blogging world ??? or will it just keep on writing by itself ???  (As if it is so important.)  Will my ghost continue writing or updating it ??? And who will receive the award - in case I receive a posthomous nomination?

I wonder Pause ….
