That's ENTERTAINMENT!

When the news broke out that Ricky Martin finally admitted that he's gay, no one was ever shocked. Why? It's just because when his early career began, (Menudo Band, remember?) There were certain gossips, that the Livin' La Vida Loca star has qualities of a potential gay. Admitting that your gay in the Entertainment Industry is not a big deal anymore because it's a common trend especially to those who started their career as a member of a boyband, they've become solo artist, they're album are selling like hotcakes and other stuff. But when they reach the dim lights of their careers, that will be the turning point if they will divulge to the public their sexual preferences. I'm not against that brouhaha thing, it's just that most of the celebrity magazines and networks are putting too much cheesecake journalism to these celebrities. To be honest, I'm very proud of these celebrities who have the guts to face the mere fact that they're gays, proudly gays. They're not afraid to show the world how much sense of fulfilment and freedom they feel because they finally admit the skeleton in their closet. So what's my main point here? That being gay is not a curse, it's not a choice but a destiny you must face with your held up high. So please spare those celebrities in putting them in the bad limelight because of the yellow journalism most of the newspapers and networks trying to convey with the audience. The bottom line of this article, That's what you called ENTERTAINMENT!

At the end of the day, this revelation won't really matter. The man deserved all the respect in the world with more than 60 million dollars album sold, having great humanitarian works thru his non-profit Ricky Martin Foundation and giving us some of the best songs our generation has ever heard.


Ricky is the Man!!!

Remembering my Tatay...

My Nanay and I went to Himlayan Cemetery to visit my Tatay’s grave in remembering his 14th death anniversary. August 29 is the exact date of Tatay’s death anniversary but due to household chores that Nanay and I usually do every weekend, we decided to visit Tatay the following day (August 30, 2010). Yes, it’s been 14 long years that our Tatay left us due to lung cancer but his presence in our lives still lingers on. I was nine 9 years old when he passed away but the memories I’ve shared with my father are still very vivid and unforgettable. I considered my Nanay as the soft-spoken in our family while my Tatay was the disciplinarian. Though my father has a strong personality, I was never scared of him because I know that in his strong character, a good and loving father is what he really portrayed. I heard a lot of good comments about my father that most of our relatives liked him. They’ve said that my father was well-loved by everybody because of his character. Yes, he’s strict, but...

From Silence to Sharing -- My Unconventional Journey and Prioritizing Mental Health

Writing has never been my strong suit. At most times, I grappled with writing slump and the distractions that life unfailingly presents.  But today, before the Year 2023 closes its chapter  (Kathniel yarn? lol),  I'm courageously sharing a piece of my life. A little nervous, but also empowered, as only a few are aware of this.  I used to keep everything inside, but now I'm opening up, and I hope this can help someone else going through a tough time like I did. Life can be tough, especially when you've lost someone, but I want to encourage others to find their strength and keep going, no matter what. STORYTIME:   I had only worked for just  eight months in my former company when they offered me an overseas opportunity during the pandemic's peak. Uncertainty loomed, but my mom's  (BesNay)  contagious enthusiasm encouraged me to step outside my comfort zone. However, life paints a complex picture. I faced the heart-wrenching loss of my mother wh...

Halcyon days in Palawan

It’s been a year since my friends and I planned to have a vacation trip to Puerto Prinsesa in Palawan . Then last May of this year, we availed the nine promo tickets from Air Philippines that only cost 700+php back and forth (Manila to Palawan/ Palawan to Manila).  Our departure was Sept. 23-29, 2010 and we were pretty excited for this trip because all of us were first-timers to visit the beautiful province of Palawan. Months have passed but three of my friends were not allowed to take a vacation leave at their work and some of them weren’t also allowed by their parents. So we’re only six in the group and still, we decided to push this one through.  Palawan is such a wonderful place and I can’t refuse this chance of a lifetime of visiting the province they called the Last Frontier . I heard a lot of good comments and reviews about Palawan and I can’t wait to see and experience it for myself.   ( Credits: google.com for this image ) We arrived there at three o’clo...
