WINTER SOLSTICE MY WORLD

Yesterday, June 21st was the shortest day of the year here in Melboure. Yes, its is Winter Solstice. When i was still studying science in elementary, I thought of this word as very mystical and even errie, not only because there is no winter in the Philippines – but the word solstice I pictured in my mind as belonging to the category of wizards, witches and sorcerers.

Anyway, winter solstice is an event when the sun reaches its most northernly position in the sky and Melbourne gets just 9 hours and 32 minutes of sunlight. Which really translates to zero sunlight for me since I go to work without seeing the daylight and going home already dark. Well, actually I get almost an hour of dimly lit sun when I go out for a walk during my lunchbreak.

Today, while having my lunch in a foodcourt, a burning bush in the form of a girl/lady/woman suddenly appeared and sat with her friend infront of my table. Munching on my yummy ravioli and spinach salad, I was mesmerised and my thoughts were on a blog by David regarding people who could/would dare wear orange and do not look like prisoners. Now this girl does not only wear fiery engine orange, but also dyed her hair and eyebrows orange to match. To top it all, she wore a big man’s shoes, and then an old rugged pants, and over it she wore a bali dress, and another layer of material and then the Orange dress or jacket. She also wore orange make up. I don’t think she is a junkie, a circus girl or anything really weird, she could actually be a store clerk, bank employee or a manager for the word serious is written all over her face.

Or maybe she is in love!!!

Now, I think the winter solstice affected the minds of some melburnians, somehow, in an errie way, as i suspected before! And this cold cold weather actually freezes the brains and make people act and feel like zoombies.

WHEN MY MAN BOOBS SHAME ME!

Its really high time for me to go the gym, or do some running around the park. Pronto, ensugueda!!!

I have been so unbelievably lazy and re-laxed for the past months. My appetite is up and winter makes me stay in bed and just watch tv as much i want possible. In short I have become a certified potato queen, literally!!! And that is horrific!!!

This morning, as the train passed by, I saw an attractive looking girl with a black bag and big boobs standing and wearing a jacket that is quite familiar.

Also a green bennie and a scarf that looked like mine, or actually the one that I am wearing.

When I looked again, the girl with the big boobs wearing the jacket and scarft that are familiar is no other than sleepy me. OMG!!!!

I’m totally shocked, i did not know myself anymore. What is shocking is that I am having man’s boobs. My partner N has teased and commented on this a few months ago when we were having shower together.

I just dismissed this sordid idea since how on earth would i develop one or two when I am skinny as hell. But then that was just the picture of myself in my mind that I chose to be there. What is real is that fat big boobsy moi!

I must admit (chicka) that I looked like this when I was still younger!!!

And definitely, I want this look back (Echeng!!! )

I actually want to have that skinny starving look of the children in the slum areas of Manila.

You might think it is funny, but it is true!!!

A KWIN’S BDAY

Monday last was the Queen’s Bday. I really don’t know what that means but then a holiday is a good enough meaning for me.

I know that the current Queen of England celebrated her birthday on April 21st.

So what is this queen’s bday on monday? My friend Geranium said that it is actually a birthday celebration in honor of all the Queens. And anybody can be a queen in their own right. Right?

The word “queen” has been used profusely lately to describe gay guys like “queen” because they do not only look like queens but they act like some sort of queens. Specifically drag queens!
The following are photos i took a quarter ago during the midsumma festival. And yes there were hundreds and hundred of queens during that day in the park, celebrating their own queenly queerly birthdays!



















Izn’t it FANTABULOUS?
