Won't Back Down - help repeal Prop 8



http://www.wontbackdown.org

Even though the California Supreme Court upheld Prop 8 and same-sex couples can no longer marry, we won't back down.

Kim Kardashian's Reaction to H8


Kim Kardashian (Keeping up with the Kardashians) took to her official website to voice her disappointment on Tuesday morning's discriminatory ruling against gay and lesbian Americans.

She says:

"Today the California Supreme Court decided to uphold Prop 8, outlawing gay marriage in California. This really makes me sad. I thought we were more forward thinking than this, and I'm disappointed in the Supreme Court for being so closed minded. Everyone.. gay, straight, bisexual, transgendered, EVERYONE should have equal rights to marry who they want to. I have many gay friends and all I want is for them to be happy, yet this is just another obstacle in their way. Now they must continue fighting to be granted a basic civil right that many people take for granted. Shame on you, California! We must all continue to fight the h8!"

Gibbons vetoes domestic partnerships bill

CARSON CITY – Gov. Jim Gibbons has vetoed a domestic partners bill to give gay couples some of the same rights enjoyed by those who are married.

The governor said Senate Bill 283 “would effectively bypass that constitutional mandate by allowing the rights and privileges of marriage to be bestowed upon non-married persons.”

Sen. David Parks, D-Las Vegas, the sponsor of the bill, said previously he would talk with leadership to determine if an attempt will be made to override the veto.

The bill was approved 12-9 in the Senate and 26-14 in the Assembly. A two-thirds vote is required to override the governor’s veto.

The governor also vetoed two other bills, dealing with regional planning in Washoe County and setting standards for medical care for state prison inmates.

So far the governor has disapproved nine bills this session and he is starting to catch up with the record of 12 vetoed by Gov. Bob List in 1981. And the governor is just getting the tax bills that he promised to veto.

The domestic partners bill provides couples, either of the same sex or couples of opposite sex who are not married, such rights as community property, responsibility for debts and the right to seek alimony in a split up.

A couple would be required to register with the Secretary of State’s Office and pay a fee. The bill says a private and public employer would not be required to provide health care benefits to a domestic partner of an employer.

The governor said the Nevada Constitution, in an amendment approved by voters, provides that “only a marriage between a male and a female person shall be recognized and given effect in this state.”

Gibbons said, “I believe that because the voters have determined that the rights of marriage should apply only to married couples, only the voters should determine whether those rights should equally apply to domestic partners.”

Voters in 2002 approved a constitutional amendment that a marriage should only be between a man and a woman. Supporters of the bill said this was about contract rights and not about marriage.

The governor said many of the same rights granted in the bill “are readily available today by way of private contracts.”

The governor said this veto “should not be taken to suggest that domestic partners are in any way undeserving the rights and protections.” He said he recently signed Senate Bill 207, which prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation.

The governor also disapproved Assembly Bill 473, which requires the state Department of Corrections to adopt regulations on medical emergencies and the provision of medical and dental services to prisoners.

He said these requirements are already in the law. He said existing law already requires the director of the Department of Corrections to take “proper measures to protect the health and safety of staff and offenders in the institutions and facilities of the department.”

The governor said the corrections director is already required to establish standards for personal hygiene of offenders as well as standards for medical and dental services.

Assembly Bill 473 passed the Assembly 36-6 and the Senate 18-3.

Gibbons also vetoed a bill to require Washoe County to require in its comprehensive regional plan the amount of water that will serve the population.

The governor said existing law already ordered that regional planning in Washoe County must take into effect conservation including the use and protection of water resources. He said this bill is “redundant and unnecessary.”

Assembly Bill 119 cleared the Senate 27-14 and 12-9 in the Senate.

Equality


When will people realize that men are create equal and are all equally entitled to whatever basic human rights?

No one asked for the church or religion bodies to alter their teachings or whatever, the only thing we ask for, is that we are protected by the law.

And yet, conservative religious freaks everywhere spread out religious craps to protest the legislation of Gay Marriage.

God create men equally. God loves everyone equally. No one in this world should be deprived off his/her rights.


Will they ever understands??

California Upholds Proposition 8


The Supreme Court of California has officially upheld the anti-gay marriage Proposition 8, which was passed by voters last November. Backed by conservative and religious groups, Proposition 8 limits marriage to a man and a woman. However, 18,000 gay marriages performed in 2008 will be upheld. The CA Supreme Court's 6-to1 ruling was announced at 10:00 AM PST with the release of a massive, 186-page document. The Court voted unanimously to preserve the marriages of nearly twenty-thousand gay couples. Only Justice Carlos Moreno (formerly the only Democrat on the California Supreme court) voted to strike down Proposition 8.

NoH8 (No Hate) Campaign



All over California (and across the U.S.), dozens of rallies will be held in reaction of the state Supreme Court's decision this morning to uphold Proposition 8.

Gay and lesbian residents of this state are being denied the same rights, privileges and protections that heterosexual couples have when they marry civilly.

That is NOT right! That is not fair! That is wrong wrong wrong!

This is about equality!

The Lady Noire Affair by Christian Dior



The Dior fashion house broadcasted on the Internet a 6 minute 30 second thriller on the 20th of May, directed by Olivier Dahan starring Marion Cotillard, muse of the legendary Lady Dior handbag.

Marion play a wonderfully dressed femme fatale and it’s almost like watching a 6 ½ minute Hitchcock film.

The idea behind the campaign is to turn Dior back into an iconic brand, with products that have a true iconic status.

On the mini film John Galliano commented:

“We wanted to capture the glamour, the intrigue, the heroine and the mysterious allure that radiates around her, Marion has brought the Dior woman to life. She is incredible.”

A print campaign will accompany the film and there may even be another chapter to the it.

I know for a fact that my mom will faint of excitement for she absolutely adores the bag!

Upset

I feel lighter all over after languishing some burden i've been carrying while at the same time loathing for the past semester.

Despite that,
i still feel hollow and empty,
and slightly on the fence of being very upset...over nothing.
Jeez...

I'll post about them when i have the time to do so.

Hollow

I don't know what's gotten into me today,
i just felt like a piece of crap throughout the day.

After chatting with June just now,
i kinda felt better,
but i still couldn't shake away the hollow, empty feeling
that's been haunting me all day...

Sigh...


So many obligations,
yet,
i felt lost,
without any sense of direction...


P/S: i want one of the Albert Einstein bobble head which i saw in the Nights At The Museum 2: Smithsonian Night trailer. They gave me a chuckle or two.

Hilary Duff - Fly

Any moment everything can change
Feel the wind on your shoulder
For a minute all the world can wait
Let go of your yesterday

Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing and take control?

[CHORUS]
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life
And start to try
Cause it's your time
Time to fly

All your worries, leave them somewhere else
Find a dream you can follow
Reach for something when there's nothing left
And the world's feeling hallow

Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing and take control?

[CHORUS]
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life
And start to try
'Cause it's your time
Time to fly

And when you're down and feel alone,
Just want to run away
Trust yourself and don't give up
You know you better than anyone else

Any moment everything can change
Feel the wind on your shoulder
For a minute all the world can wait
Let go of yesterday

[CHORUS]
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life
And start to try
Fly
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life
And start to try
'cause it's your time
time to fly

Any moment, everything can change

I want a Hermes Jypsiere!!!



While my mom is the proud owner of 2 Hermes Birkin in blue and pink togo and a Kelly, it took her more than 4 years to get the bags. Jeez... To think that people are so crazy about some stuff made out of leather...well, at least that's the way my perception is...until i laid my eyes on the gorgeous Hermes Jypsiere Messenger Bag.

The bag is somewhat a messenger bag carved out of a Birkin, but its design is simple, unisex and subtle, which is a breathe of fresh air compare to bag that literally splash their logos all over the bag, which could get a tad boring.

So, being the naive dude i always am, i asked my mom to check out the bag for me at a Hermes boutique, guess what? The friggin bag cost the same amount of money as a Birkin!!! Jeez... And on top of that, there's a wait list as well. Sad... One could only hope... Sigh... Now i understand why people are so crazy about Hermes, they have the "oomph" which makes people go all agag with their presence. Subtle, trendy yet classy. Ahh...if only i were Posh Spice, who, according to some media myths, she herself owned up to a hundred Birkin and Kelly. I want one in coffee togo leather!!!

Hellish Summer Heat

Heat scorch down,
fiery as hell;
i smell,
i sweat,
but i ain't losing fat;
moaning sound,
all around,
complaining of the goddamn heat,
with stinky feet,
and sweaty cheek;
i gotta say,

I HATE SUMMER!!!!!

Fendi Floral Box Clutch


I'm always a Vuitton-Gucci kind of guy, so Fendi never really works for me, but when i lay eyes on this gorgeous little clutch at purseblog.com, i know i had to blog about it. It's gorgeously designed with silk roses on the exterior, which are all in a very soft, sensuous color and they exudes a very elegant yet flirty fashion. The price tag, on the other hand, well, let's just say it's not really worth it. LOL!

I know my mom would hate it, since she loves huge hobos which she could basically stuff everything inside without giving much thought.

Duh.

Ah, it's been quite a while since the last time i blab about how horrendous my life is. Well, ya'll know how my life is (well, figures, as if anyone reads my blog anyway), busy busy busy with a schedule jam-packed with tons of obligations.

Anyway, despite all those stuff which i bit on but are all too much for me to chew, to say the least (man, and yet my new year resolution was to NOT say yes to EVERY SINGLE request), i guess it's the right time for me to at least make a little update of my life. (Duh, as if anyone cares, at all, and that's the reason why i don't care if the title of this particular post doesn't make sense at all, since NO ONE CARES!)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the past few weeks, my daily diet consist of gulping down some stinky, grainy, powdery stuff with protein powder, along with 8 pills per meal every single day. Why? Let's see.

High blood pressure, check~
Urinary tract infection, check~
Bladder infection, check~
unusually fast heart rate, check~
Migraine, check~

CHECK CHECK CHECK!

I felt as if my whole body is slowly melting, falling apart.
No more coffee, no more rubbish food.
But, one thing i noticed about myself is that,
i kinda got bloated. Maybe due to my lack of exercising.
As if anyone cares about how i look or how fit i am.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And speaking about my body. Well, for a start, i have a LOT to complain.
To be honest, i am like the least superficial person who cares more about the physical attributes of a person than their inside. For a fact, i'm totally on the opposite side of the fence. Lately, i just couldn't get over the fact that, me being the average looking Joe who doesn't have the killer pecs or model-esque looks, is completely INVISIBLE to the world.

Walking down the 100m stretch of the dorm's hallway with my friend Viecie, i felt invisible, like totally void of the surrounding. No one acknowledge my existence, but when they sees Viecie, their whole face light up, they smile at him, they chat up with him. Whenever i walk down the hallway alone? I'm lucky if i could even get the dogs sunbathing on the field to look at me at all!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the countless times, i tried real hard to convince myself that people do actually appreciate me as an individual, and gives me the opportunity to do something that they believe i could do well.

Uh, so wrong.

Last week was a prom thingie for the graduating seniors. Prior to the event, no one approach me for any assistance at all. Now i know why. The day of the event, i was asked to be in charge of the DV camera (the easiet, most useless job). I know for a fact that Roy from my class was set to perform, but when i saw him onstage along with a band and looking all polished and everything, i got sour and envious.

Does anyone knows i could sing well and hit the right notes along with exact pronunciation? Does anyone care to even ask? I want to be in a band, i want people to know, that i could also sing. I'm not jealous of them singing on the stage or anything, nor i crave for limelight attention, what irked me was what followed.

I was asked to audition for the role of Prof. Higgins of the play - My Fair Lady. I know perfectly for a fact that, the ONLY reason the'd even want me there was because of my native-like English pronunciation. If i was judge solely on my looks, well, don't count on them to even give me the time of the day.

Am i that ugly? Am i so average, that people actually doens't think i could sing? Are people really that shallow?

What kills me was the fact that Roy, armed with his HORRIBLE pronunciaion, was asked to audition as well! Go figures.

My self exteem just got squash, hard.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I met a dude on some friendship/dating site.
Yes, shamelessly, i admit i use those cheesy websites to get to know people, albeit that i don't use them often, as in the last time i went on to the site, it was 3 years ago. I was having this really nice chat with a guy who sound really nice, so everything went real smoothly, and then, he asked for my picture. That's when things fall apart.

I gave him my blog, and the moment he saw what i look like (i have pictures of me here), he blocked me. Yeah, mark this, less than one minute i gave him my blog, he blocked my account!!!! Fuck! People are shallow. Do i really look all that ugly?

For one thing, this isn't really the first time. First, Hall TYS that sick son of a bitch whom i dumped 4 years ago, Zark the DH dude who sent me all the wrong signals, and dumped me with no apparent reason nor any form of explanation, and of course, Henry/Henri who doen't seem to be that much keen on nudging me ever since i came back from his place. Figures.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So what is the upside of being loaded and armed with a brain? Who cares my wallet is a thousand dollar Armani? Who cares that i own Vuitton? Who gives a fuck that i'm actually filthy rich and could easily buy them into liking me? No, for one thing, i make it a point for people to like me for the person i am, not the materail stuff. That's why i wear the smae clothes a few time a week, i use a cheap 990 bucks Nike messenger, and i keep my Gucci and vuitton away, not wanting to be superficial for flaunting them. What do i get in return? Ignorance from people, brushing me off like i'm not worth their time.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm tired. Of them, of everyone around me.
Everyone can go and screw themselves. Especially the person with either one of the 3 names i mentioned above.

Peace out!

Keith Olbermann Comments on Carrie Preejan securing her pageant title



Mr. Olbermann, you are friggin' awesome!

Miss California Press Conference following the decision to let her keep her Pageant title



Miss California USA: Carrie Preejan, in her own words after Donald Trump and the panels of the Miss California Pageant people decided she would keep her throne of Miss California.

Freedom of Speech has its limitation. Does she even know LGBTs around the world have their "freedom" to even live taken away. If preposition 8 passed, where does the freedom of the LGBT community?

Respect?

Where is the respect that LGBTs around the world rightfully deserve?

Come Make Pink Dot at 5/16



Everyone should have the freedom to love, regardless of sexual orientation. But fear, ignorance and prejudice often stand in the way. At PinkDot, we believe the first step to overcoming these barriers is for open-minded segments of society to come together. If you too feel that LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) people deserve to express their love just like any other Singaporean, please join us at Hong Lim Park on 16 May 2009.

In this video, straight Singaporeans from different walks of life come together to talk about the LGBT people in their lives. Among the known faces are celebrity blogger Xiaxue, actress Pamela Oei, actors Lim Kay Siu and Lim Yu Beng, Dave Tan and Amanda Ling from local band Electrico, as well as Pink Dot's ambassadors Neo Swee Lin, Rosalyn Lee and Timothy Nga.

I cried watching this. I know for a fact that most of the people featured in the video are straight, but still, they go all out by supporting the cause of the LGBT community. A fact on why it is so different from the Taipei Pride March is that Taipei Pride steers more to a more flamboyant and sex route, which, to me doesn't really help in straighten the perspective of the public towards us. Thank you, Pink Dot for organizing such a wonderful event, and most of all, i want to thank a special person (whom i seldom speaks to but i still cherish him as a dear friend) for sending the link to this video and alert me about the event.

2NE1 - Fire



I've always been a fan of really banging music in the vein of GaGa...think Dance-Hall electronica with a really great killer beat and some awesome thumping.

Introducing K-Pop newest sensation, 2NE1, a girl group from Korea who interpret every styles and substances there is in the GaGa storm and made it their own. This song is truly MAJOR! I've never like Korean pop songs, but they changed my mind!!! Bring it 2NE1, more!!!

Britain's Got Talent: Jamie Pugh - Bring Him Home [off Les Miserables]



What the hell is wrong with America's Got Talent?
I mean, Britain's Got Talent spewed out REAL talents like this one over and over,
American's were...to say mediocre is an understatement.

Introducing- Jamie Pugh, a dude from Wales who drive a van by day and deliver pizza by night. He claimed to have never sing to a live audience before in his life, but his rendition of Bring Him Home of Les Miserables was tear-jerking and painstakingly gorgeous.

Check him out, he could well give Susan Boyle a run for her money.

By the way, it seems Les Miserables is the new must.
If only other shiteous reality show could produce actual talents which tops one another. Can't wait to see which other breakout star the show is gonna bring out next week.

Just What I Need (Sarcasm)

Due to some health issue,
i was not able to cycle at all.
Guess what those skanks said about me?
Well, nothing, but they make faces that says
"You're a piece of crap."

Guess what, just because i wasn't there
"helping" out with their stupid rendition of "Puteri Gunung Ledang"
doesn't mean that i didn't want to go or was in any way acting out.

Well, i'm tired of explaining,
and, i'm glad i went to watch Wolverine at the theater instead of
slaving myself over the critically panned performance.
(yeah, my friends who did go, all said it was crappy food and crappy performances, and they'd much rather get themselves a beer and some snacks at some bar.)

Another thing that irked me is that those skanks won the Sisters School Poster Contest.
Ok, i'm a fairly...fair person,
if the work is any good, i bow,
but the thing is,
theirs was like shit smudging a piece of paper.

I'm not saying mine was the best,
but i got no credit for spending time translating Spanish bits by bits into Chinese
just for my Universidad Central de Venezuela poster. I mean, even the one for CY-Fair College was waaaaaayy better.
And they said the prize money is for some charity expedition to Sabah.
Well, if they were anyone else, i'd believe it,
but since its the bunch of Skanks, that's like their way of saying "showing off" expedition of "pretend to be nice so people will notice them" expedition.

God, just what i need.
A bunch of SKANKS!!!!
