Pulang Laso Aftermath

Kasama ang mga kaibigan, pinag-usapan namin ang nakaraang episode ng MMK.

"Pag AIDS, kelangan bakla dapat? That is so stereotypical."

"Pag bakla AIDS na agad? Di pa pedeng tulo muna?"

"Or di ba pedeng lagnat muna o sipon?!"

Siyempre katuwaan lang naman yun. Alam naman naming ito ay isang napakahalagang paksang talakayin at pag-usapan.

"Pero pano ba talaga naghahawahan?"

"Alam ko tatlo lang yan: dugo, karayom (galing sa may AIDS), at pagpasa ng ina sa anak."

"Ang alam ko any body fluids e. Mapa-tamod at laway."

"Pano naghahawahan pag sa lalake at babae. Di ba tamod naman yun."

Lumabas tuloy ang katotohanang kakaunti lang ang alam namin tungkol sa HIV.

"Wag kang mag-alala. 1% lang naman ang chance mong mahawa sa unprotected sex e."

"Yun nga e, dapat di ka umaasa dun sa 1% na yun e."

At least sa huli, tama naman ang nasabi namin.

    dugo, karayom (galing sa may AIDS), at pagpasa ng ina sa anak
    - dugo yes, karayom no not sa needle itself but kung may blood sa needle. Hypodermic needle to be exact. pagpasa ng ina sa anak no ang alam ko kasi namamatay yung cells ng virus pag nasa baby parang may anti ek ek so ang nangyayari hindi ata napapasa sa baby. not sure though yun lang tanda ko sa lessons namin noon

    Ang alam ko any body fluids e. Mapa-tamod at laway

    -seminal fluids yes laway no. kelangan mo ng galong galong laway bago ka mahawa. hindi rin sa pawis at hindi rin sa lamok na pag kinagat ng lamok yung taong may virus tapos kinagat ka magkakaron ka din thats not true.

    Pano naghahawahan pag sa lalake at babae. Di ba tamod naman yun.
    - remember meron ding vaginal fluids ang babae.

    Also.. AIDS is different from HIV.

    AIDS ay ang pagbaba ng CD4 cells nila associated with HIV.

    HIV is a disease. so AIDS is a phase or parang stage (but not all the time kasi you can have HIV but not AIDS) and HIV is having the disease or virus.

    parang naguluhan ako.. haha!

    it can pass pala if a pregnant women is infected with HIV thru breastfeeding, pregnancy, labor and delivery but it could also be prevented via modern drugs para sa baby

    @cyron: oo nga. pero sa ngayon, pag-iingat lang ang kaya nating gawin.

    @shenanigans: thanks. hinanap ko rin talaga siya sa net tuloy. tama naman, 3 general ways of transmission: body fluids, needles, mother-to-child.

Before Coming Out

Lately, I've been thinking of coming out. It's like I want to free of myself of the burden of keeping my identity a secret. But before I come out, I just have some personal conditions I need to accomplish first. I won't be doing these things just to earn people's approval on my lifestyle but more for me being comfortable in the path I've chosen to live.

Mga ilang tagpo ng gabing iyon

Sa mga oras na iyon, tipong game na lang kaming magkakaibigan kung anong mangyari. Inumpisahan kasi nung isang guy na tumingin sa aming direksyon sa may Starbucks sa Greenfield. Tipong nag-uusap kaming magkakaibigan doon sa labas na tables nang sabay-sabay kaming napatingin sa isang lalaking dumaan. Sabay-sabay kaming nagtawanan nang mahuli kami. Pero ang nakakapagtaka ay kahit makalagpas na siya, ilang ulit pa rin ang dungaw niya sa amin. Eh di parang, "trip ata tayo noon." Sinundan namin ng tingin yung guy hanggang sa nakumbinse namin yung isa naming kaibigan na sundan siya talaga para ayaing makipagkape or whatever. Bumalik si friend na hindi bitbit si Kuya. Ang pangalawang tagpo ay noong papalakad na kami sa EDSA kung saan sasakay ang mga kaibigan ko. Tinagos namin ang Greenfield papunta sa direction ng Rob Forum. Sa bandang Flair pa lang may nakipagtitigan na sa aming lalaki. Yung isa naming kaibigan ang tumawag sa aming atensyon. Sabi niya, tigil lang daw muna kami a...

What 2012 taught me..

Yesterday night, my friends and I went out for dinner. During our talk a friend suggested to share our year-end evaluations. Since I've already blogged about how my year went, I was quick to answer his question. His next topic was to complete the statement: 2012 taught me to.... I haven't really thought of the lessons or general theme of the closing year so I got to think about my answer. And here's what I shared. "2012 taught me to just keep on trying. Maybe I'll succeed, maybe I won't. No matter what the outcome may be, what's important is that I have tried that I have exerted effort to reach my dream. Even though I take things a day at a time, not really making long term plans, I still have goals for whatever opportunities and I would make every step to take advantage of that chance. I believe that it's better to have tried (in love, in career, and in life) than to regret not trying at all." So that's it. And with this, I end my 2012 ...
