Departure

Good news. I got the job! At last. After that long hour trip, I never failed to get the job position... I'm currently at Davao preparing for my documents (SSS, TIN, Philhealth), medical certificate, etc, as requirements for employment. It's just sad that I get to spend my last week here completing my documents and going to the city instead of spending quality time with my family, especially my parents.

I thought of this day as boring and as tiring as always, but I never expected the cuties that flashed through my eyes when I was accomplishing the documents for my job. Hahaha.

I. Clearance

First off, I headed for the police station near San Pedro Church because I was applying for a police clearance. Police men greeted the usual: "Good morning sir. Asa mo dapit muadto?", to which I replied "Magkuha ug police clearance boss". He then stretched his arm and pointed on a building with a blue trapal and lots of people. "Didto mag apply sir" he said. It was a smooth process because it was still early in the morning and fewer people were present at the time.

There was this part of the application wherein they need to take a picture of you for the police clearance (which was a shocking 80 pesos!) Lito Sy lang ang peg?! As my number was called, I entered the room with my co-number bracket (because picture taking were divided into groups) I looked around for cuties and I saw this guy:

He looks a little bit like Rocco Nacino on this angle. Haha. Basta. Crush ko na siya. <3. When it was his turn to be taken a picture, I was looking at the encoder typing his name on the computer. His name was difficult to memorize so I never bothered. I have his stolen picture anyway, so no worries. :)


II. The Bank Guy

I went to a bank along claveria road because I needed to ask something about my bank account. Being that it was just in claveria area, I just walked it out because I thought it was near. I rarely ride a jeepney if my destination can just be walked, even if the sun is scorching hot. 

The guards did their usual checking of backpacks and then I entered. I looked for someone to inquire about my problem and I saw a lady inside her office space without a customer, so I took the opportunity to speak with her. As she was explaining the solutions to my problem, I can't help but notice this cutie standing right next to her office. Here he is.

If you go to 'that bank', I'm sure you'll also notice him because most of the employees of this bank are ladies. Less men. Haha. And amongst those men, he stood out the most. Kuya! What's your name so that I can stalk you?!! Urrghh. Are these signs that I shouldn't continue leaving Davao and immediately cancel my job application? Hahaha

III. Public Assistance Officer

After inquiring at the bank, I decided to leave ASAP because I wouldn't want the 'bank guy' to fall in love with me. And I wouldn't want any attachments whatsoever when I leave this city next week. Char lang. 

Still savoring an image of him in my mind, I wandered merrily along the streets of Claveria and headed for Philhealth office which was infront of Magallanes Residences. They have a Public Assistance office outside their office for people to use when they get lost or doesn't know the way around the place. So naturally I followed the people that were making a line to wait for my turn to ask for direction and processes for becoming a new member.

When it was my turn, I went to window 1 and the man that greeted me defeated the rest of the men that I saw earlier that day! I don't know if he was half or a pure foreigner, but he didn't look like filipino at all!! He looked like an "ARABO" with fair skin, or was he German.. I'm not sure, but those eyes! It's like it can penetrate through my body and soul. Despite the fact that he was sitting, I can see that he was bulky in frame and tall, at a 6 feet estimate. My voice cracked as I asked him the "how to's" in the place and the immediate reaction was a laugh and a smile on his stubbly face. That heavenly smile. P*ta. "Pa hospital niyo ako please kahit walang philhealth. Ma ha-heart attack ata ako dito" I told myself. He gave me documents for me to fill up and told me to go inside the office for the payment section..

After the process, I got outside and made a last glimpse of "window 1" and noticed he wasn't the one 

sitting there anymore. I looked at my wristwatch and saw that it was past 12 noon and thought that maybe he was having his lunch break and, as I walked for the exit gate, I saw a tall man. I looked up and saw that it was him. I was right. He did take his lunch. I watched him walk his way back to his office. I was too amazed and frozen in place that I forgot to grab my phone and take his picture.. That moment was so embarassing because the security guard was watching me the whole time. Sarap sabihan nang: Mind your own business nga guard!. 

IV. The Ride Home

Tired from the walking, talking and filling up of papers, I rode the jeepney to go home. I thought my day was ending but then I saw a cute image of father and son.. Cute isn't it? Haha. But wait, look at the father's right hand. He's holding the phone the same way I hold it when I'm inside a jeepney taking pictures of cute male passengers. Coincidence? Hahaha. I'll let you decide for that folks.

This is davaokiddo, saying that I'll miss Davao and most especially my blog. It would be a long time for me to write another post when I start working, so maybe it's safe to say that this would be farewell for now. Till we meet again guys! Keep safe <3

I can always be contacted at davaokiddo@gmail.com. 

Goodbye Davao :(

There are still things you don't know about me. So I'm sharing to all of you who I am piece by piece, as something remarkable has happened in my life just recently.

I already graduated and got a college degree on a well known university in Davao. My line of work involves manpower. That literally means that I work in an industry where I get to socialize with men. Men who use their muscle power and involves sweating. I guess from that statement alone you now know what my job is. Aside from manpower, I get to work in far places, which is why my work involves travelling. Both of these are good.

Being in a far place helps me unravel my independence. For once in my life I want to do things wherein nobody watches my back. I can do whatever I want and I won't be afraid if I did something deviant from society because nobody knows me in that place. And that place my friends, is where I am headed this Monday, September 22, 2014.

Maybe, by the end of this month I would be working in that place. It's truthful to say that I'll be leaving a part of my life here, as Davao says: Life is Here. Indeed a life I will leave here, and a life I will start anew on the City of Island Adventures. To my followers, see you on Davao Bus Terminal this 22nd if you're also travelling to the same place. <3 <3 I'm travelling alone by the way, so if I experience an 'out of this world' encounter, then I'm sure I'll share it with you guys here on my blog. Hahahaha. (Just kidding).

This is davaokiddo, preparing my backpack for tomorrow's adventure. Till my next post guys. Keep safe. 

PR: Mr. N

O-M-G! After almost months of having this Planet Romeo application, I finally found a cute guy here in Davao. Well, technically he's in Davao but he's not Dabawenyo. He is half Filipino and half Syrian, which means he looks like a middle eastern cutie. He was the first to initiate the chat, despite me having a profile picture of a car wheel. (What are the odds?)

His profile says he's 24 years old, with a height of 5'5, and weighs 125 lbs living at a dormitory near DMC. He says he just recently moved here for the past 8 days for work. When I saw the word DMC, my mind quickly thought of him as a medical student (FYI for the non-dabawenyos, many Indian nationals work/study here on the field of medicine), but he says he works as a consultant in a company which I will not name. Hahaha. He also said he never got drunk, EVER! (liar), and asks for a picture of me, which I actually did and sent him one. Although I'm not sure why I sent it. I don't normally do that. Never. I just had a feel that he was different. And indeed he was!

After sending the picture, I asked him why is he working here when his dad is Syrian and the greener pastures is certainly not in the Philippines. He replied, stating that Syria is not stable and has war. (How foolish of me! Bulok kaayo ko!! askbsnbjrebk!!!)

He then proceeds on telling me that he hasn't been on Abreeza yet and asks me if I wanna hang out with him. He says he wants to be with locals in Davao to get familiar with the place, and tells me he was recently at Zigubu bar in Torres with some of his co-workers. I even called him this morning to confirm if he was really the guy on his profile in PR and it was really him. He was so fluent at english that I felt like I was speaking to a pure foreigner. Although he says he know Filipino/Tagalog, he doesn't want to practice or show me the way he speaks (I don't know why..)

By the end of our conversation, he was already set to go to GMall and says he was going to try the Dance Revolution game at Gameworx. He again repeats his 'request' and says I can come and hang out with him. OMGGG! But I replied that now's not a good time.. We exchanged numbers by then and I bid goodbye. I'm hoping that he will call me back after his trip to gmall, but I'm not going expect too much after he saw me on cam. Well, let the waiting game begin. :))

If ever we'll meet in person, this will be my first time to be in public with a guy that I met on PR, "Honesto, promise!"  I don't know what his intentions are but I'm pretty sure I can handle whatever the events may unfold. What motivates to meet him in person is that he's not from Davao, and whatever happens between us if ever, will remain a secret. The closet would still be safe with me.

BTW, he kinda looks like the guy on the picture, but he's way more gwapo/handsome.

Wish me luck guys! This may be my very first interracial same sex relationship ever! Haha. 

*crossing fingers*

If you wanna give me advices on how to handle this situation (lol), you can always email me at: davaokiddo@gmail.com. Keep safe guys. Lovelots! <3 <3

Red Alert!! (RED HOT 100)

If straight guys made female red heads a sex symbol, then why the hell doesn't the male counterpart given the same treatment? I don't understand the logic of the west but for an eastern guy, I am a total redhead addict.

When I was young, I always fascinated about redheads. I can even vividly remember when I was a kid, I watched this p*rn video about a delivery man who was redhead. He was the first redhead I saw on a gay film and he instantly turned me on. He was so hot. (He was a TOP). There's something in their pale freckled skin, and shiny red hair, and those penetrating eyes that turns me on automatically. So when I heard this exhibition going on in London, I went berserk and searched the internet what all the commotion was all about, then BANG!

If my eyes had orgasms, it would have been a tremendous mess. I just saw the most epic exhibition (so far) in my life. If I had the money, I would certainly go to this exhibition myself and have pictures with these hot models! I could even buy the goodies (art book, calendar, shirts) that they were sell during the exhibit.

Thank you THOMAS KNIGHTS, for making the female and gay community feast on these gorgeous guys! But beyond the showing of the skin and sex implications of the exhibit, I think the true message here is to show the bullied redhead community that they are recognized and adored by many. :)

I wish this would be the start of an era where "ginger" is no longer an insult, but rather a compliment and a privilege for the few to have. (I SERIOUSLY WISH THERE WERE MORE REDHEADS IN THE WORLD).

Here are my favorites:

Last but not the least, my crush. <3 PUSO!!.

All of you can date me anytime!! <3 <3 <3

Durian Vendor

Trust me when I say this: It looks like a c*ck. Hahaha

It's now 10:10 PM here in Davao City, Philippines and I can't sleep. I've been reading a novel the whole day and now I'm spending time updating my social accounts on the web... This is insomnia.. I'm just worried my pimples wouldn't show up again. (My pimples usually show when I sleep late).

When I was scrolling my twitter homepage, I saw an image of a Durian which made me remember a story that I should have posted a week ago during my stroll at San Pedro.

I was at a Jollibee branch near the city hall and it was past 12:00 noon time. I was so hungry so I ended up eating at the cheapest restaurant my mind could imagine and that was at Jollibee. I ordered the usual: burger steak with three lumpias and a pineapple juice. It was unusual for me to see the store crowded with too many people but then I remembered it was lunch time. After about 10 minutes of lining up in front of the cashier for my food, I walked up the stairs and saw a sweet spot for me to sit, next to a couple which was also my age range, and both were so attractive. I usually take snapshots on these situations, but my hunger told my brain that it's not the priority right now. Right now, I should eat. So there I was, happily chewing on my meal and aborted the mission..

I was almost halfway on my meal when the couple decided to leave the store. As I was watching them, the guy stared at me intently while holding the girl's hand, his eyes told me: "get off creep, she's my girl". If only he knew I wasn't looking at her. Hahaha... Shortly after a few minutes, I too was also finished eating and decided to go home as well. Seeing that I was on San Pedro St, and since that road led straight to bangkerohan, I took the time to just walk on the straight path to ride a jeepney home (another giveaway to where I live). That way I can spend time exercising and save money (which by the way was 8 pesos only) for not riding the jeepney.

I saw nothing special on my initial treck down the familiar road. The street was still the same as it was when I was a kid. Still the same pawnshops. Still the same pirated DVD stalls. I even saw the same scenario of men playing chess at the sidewalk, with other men encircling them like it was some type of religious ceremony.

I was nearing the end of my journey, drenched with sweat, when I saw a guy that instantaneously quenched my thirst. It was in front of the Bombo Radyo office and the D'Morvie Suites. It was a push cart stall with the typical rainbow colored umbrella above. It displayed durians. There were two guys who sell this but one stood out the most.. He was the one cutting the durian. He wore a white sando that matched his sun kissed skin, and a pale blue shorts in knee length. He had a frame of an athletic Urggh, I think I just j*zzed my pants! He also looked like he had spanish ancestry, with his pronounced nose and thick eyebrows. At a rough estimate of 40 years old, this guy looked hot as hell..

By now I was still subconsciously walking, and by the time I grabbed my phone, I already walked past them. I tried to take a picture but there were many people, and some were looking at me. It was again an abort mission scenario, so instead I just looked back at him and remembered his face.

"I will come back" I told myself. "When the time is right."

If anyone is reading this that lives near the area, kindly do me a favor and take a picture of him for me so I can share this to our little community. Many thanks in advance!!

Davao City is so true with its words when it said "Life is here". Well, it's time to sleep. Goodnight guys. Keep safe. This is davaokiddo, signing out.

CND: Mike Espino

Hi guys. From now on I will be starting a series of posts about my crushes, and it's called CND or Crush Ni Davaokiddo for short. Haha. It's hard for me to share with someone that I have 'guy' crushes considering I am discreet so therefore, sharing it here will be a great solution for that problem. I may even get to know more about these guys from you, if you personally know them. You can always message me on my email: davaokiddo@gmail.com

So here it is. My first entry on this series of blog posts.

Mike Cedrick Gutierrez Espino

Currently, my facebook shows me that we have 47 mutual friends. I tried adding him the moment I saw his account on fb but failed because I think he has too many friend requests to begin with, so now I just follow him. Anyway, I first saw him on my facebook home 2 years ago. An fb friend posted a picture of him, and being so curious I clicked and discovered this handsome guy. (If you're reading this Mike, you're so handsome!!!) See that nose? Taas masyado ang ilong niya. And the eyes! *drools*. He's still studying at Ateneo de Davao University, taking up MassCom (i think) which makes his face and course so compatible. Pwede na siya mag artista! lols.

The Luckiest Day

When I was still studying, I always ride a jeepney at Ateneo to go home. (Oh, clue na yan ha kung saan ako nakatira). During those times I still stalk his facebook account so I know what he would look like when I see him personally. So there I was, waiting for a jeepney, tired from a haggard day of doing so many things in school, when two guys rode the same jeepney I rode in. These two guys were directly in front of me. Despite the very dim environment (because it was night time) I can clearly see that both were wearing Ateneo uniforms. One was a really huge, chubby guy talking with the guy on his side. As I looked at the guy he was talking to, my eyes went huge.. It was him! Mike in the flesh!! Shet! I wasn't really staring, more like making plenty of glances at him. I think he noticed because at one point, he stared at me, along with his friend. I was so nervous that time so I stopped my glancing.

Normally by this time I usually sleep inside the jeepney but NO I didn't. I took this opportunity to observe him, until he stopped at Shrine Hills and bid goodbye to his friend. (At least now I know where he lives). I never saw him again ever since. :(

On a plus side, he was also a boyscout during his high school years, like me! He was by the way an alumni of DRANHS.

There! Haha. Now you know. That's it for now guys. This is davaokiddo, signing out. Keep safe!

Going Downtown

Today I was from Victoria Plaza to buy something and appreciating the cold temperature in contrast to the hot atmosphere outside. After my 'shopping' I walked around to stay inside the arctic like state of the mall and, while I was walking on the upper floor, I came across a pet shop near Rocky's Barbershop area. My world suddenly transformed into the realm of Game of Thrones.

For the new information of everyone, I am an avid fan of GoT. Arya, Daenerys, Jon Snow, Cersei. I can give you a brief autobiography of this characters in a blink of an eye. You name it! I was suddenly reminded of GoT because of the HUSKY I saw inside a cage. He was so cute! If I had the money, I would probably bring him home with me and let him stay 24/7 on my air conditioned room. He was so playful especially when the girl employee let him go outside to eat and drink water.

 Here are his snapshots. :)

There was also a cute Shih Tzu (i think), and a cat which I can't identify the breed. I was actually enjoying myself watching these cute creatures play around when my peripheral vision caught another cute creature. Hahaha. He's not so GWAPO, but he has some sex appeal. Which I liked. Haha. Here he is, feeding the fish. Sorry if it's only the back, I get to conscious if I attempt to take a picture with them facing the camera. I get too scared or panic a lot. Hahaha. But I'll try to do better next time.

For the guys near Victoria, I suggest you go to the pet shop and do me a favor: kindly ask his name, instagram, facebook, and twitter account. For research purposes. lol.


Heading Home

Being tired for the day, I rode the jeepney going home. I was seated at the middle portion when I saw a cute sight. Almost comedic actually. Here.

What can you see in the picture? Yes! You guessed it. I rode a "bukot-bukot" jeepney. lol. I don't understand why other people prefer to ride an "uso-uso jeepney" full of passengers compared to an old looking jeep with a few passengers. Where's the logic in that? Haha. But the main point is not on the jeepney, it's on these two passengers here. It reminded me of my younger self. I'm like the guy on the left when a cute guy rides a jeep and sits face to face with me. Haha. I can't keep a straight face, so to avoid blowing my cover, I usually look outside. Hahaha..

That's it. My day at a glance. Keep safe guys. For all the closets there, never worry. You're not alone. This is davaokiddo saying goodnight. If you wanna talk to me, or want to share something, email me at: davaokiddo@gmail.com

When Two Discreets Meet

This day is officially added on my list as one of the "worst days on record"! Urgh! I'm still shaking because of the anger that I feel right now. The story goes like this.

I'm completely doing my daily routine, doing household chores, watching movies on TV or my laptop (if you know what I mean), and of course, socializing on my gay app. As I was browsing the "guys near you" list, someone messaged me like this: (Sa ____ ka talaga nakatira?). Thinking that he would go to my area, I quickly responded: (Oo. Dito ako sa _________. Bakit magpunta ka??). I was so excited because I thought he was heading to our place when suddenly he responded like this: (Ah, magkita nalang tayo sa ______). I was like, huh? What if he was a POSER!? And I would risk my safety if I go to an unfamiliar place. This certain guy chatted me long before and I can feel that he was also like me, a SUPER DISCREET GUY. So I told him: (Oh, akala ko kasi papunta ka dito.. lol.) The conversation continued doubting each other's profile pictures and formulating methods on how to prove each other's face. Then I told him what I learned when I was in Manila recently.

"You can prove someone's identity on a social app by making him take a picture of himself holding a piece of paper and writing on it your username. "
So I told him to do that, but he declined, worrying that his picture might be seen by many users on the gay app. He suggested instead that we both exchange our instagram accounts with our privacy turned on, so that when I try to follow him, he can immediately identify and see my account. His plan was pure genius because in that way, he will know that someone is legit or not by viewing the number of POSTS, FOLLOWERS, and FOLLOWING list on the account. It was a dead end. I would not risk giving my account on him.  For a split second I imagined the amount of damage it would do to my future career.My social status would be shattered if someone knew I was gay. And so was he. What interests me of him is that we are both alike. We are so cautious when it comes to revealing identities. And we are both aware of the consequences that would follow when doing the wrong move.

I had to say no. So I told him "No. Baka next time nalang siguro." And just like that, we bid each other goodbye, not knowing when our next conversation will be.

I hate being like this. I hate hiding. I want to reveal myself, but if I do, my world would be torn to pieces. Why can't the world accept us for what we are? Why, of all the places, was I born here? On a country where homosexuality and bisexuality is treated as a disease?! How many years should I wait for the country to accept PLU's? When?

Char. Nagdrama ako. LOL. Alisin na ang negativity! I'd have to live like this until kaya ko pa. Well, that's it for now guys. If you have something to share with me, you can email me at davaokiddo@gmail.com. Stay safe everyone. Lovelots.

Pare Mahal Mo Raw Ako - Official Music Video

Yes! I've been waiting for this music video to come out since the lyric video was posted on facebook. The video truly captured the essence of the song. It shows every closet gay guy's dilemma of having a really cool friend that later on, you developed feelings for!! Urrgh! The one doing the lip syncing is really cute. You know who he is? Michael Pangilinan himself!! Such a cutiee. <3

For those of you who does not understand Filipino, the song is about two boys who are closest best friends. It turns out though, that one of them isn't straight and he fell in love with his friend.

I hope this will win in this year's competition. We should show our big support for this very well created piece of work by voting for this song guys! LSS mode activated.

Presenting, the official music video



For PLUs out there, please help spread this video. :) Again, many thanks to Michael Pangilinan for his wonderful voice that helped give depth to the song.

Keep safe guys,

Skype Dilemma

You know when you chat someone really good and you gave him your skype username, only to figure out that you cannot see the guy anymore?! Why? Because of what I did.

I uninstalled my skype application on my phone because I was having problems downloading another app. When I was in Manila, I tried to install skype again but I can no longer log in on my account! If only I knew that I cannot log in anymore, I wouldn't uninstall that app. I've met and saved all of the legit and good guys on that app, and now, I can no longer have contact with them. Forever! Oh the agony. :(

Back to zero. Starting a new foundation again. I'm currently creating a new account again and hopefully, they will find me. Like a princess in the story Cinderella, or the fish named Nemo in the film Finding Nemo. By the way, for the information of everyone, I'm now back in Davao City, but hopefully I'll be back next week to have some 'sight-seeing' because I haven't experienced it during the recent trip.

To end this, I give a tip to my co-closet guy readers: Do not attempt to delete your skype account if you cannot memorize your username and password! Just don't let anyone touch your phone for your safety or, you can buy the LG smartphone wherein it has a different password for the guest called: "Guest Mode", for hiding the good stuff from your friends who wish to use your phone for a quick text or call.

Keep safe guys. It's a sad day indeed.
Lovelots,
