Ongline #277 Ten Sweet Years

Sun, 01 Jun 2008 12:12:47 -0500

Bruce and I celebrated our 10th anniversary last Friday.
It's almost a miracle to have him on the show and talk about how we met. I'm so glad you did.
I hope you'll enjoy a little part of our relationship, and a little part of me that's so important to me.

Ongline #276 Bitchy Poems

Sun, 25 May 2008 15:50:27 -0500

Walking down memory lane with my college roommate Henry.
We used to make up bitchy poems for our teachers. I have always wanted to record our poems while we still have them in our heads. It may not mean anything to you, but oh boy, was I enjoying myself during this recording with Henry.
Don't worry if you don't get it. I don't expect you to. :D

Ongline #274 Goals Come from Purpose

Sun, 11 May 2008 16:55:49 -0500

Happy Mother's day to everyone! And yes, you are included!
Male-Female parents better than the rest? Or is it love that's more important thing in a family?
Responding to what are goals, what is my life's purpose.
Coming to terms with changing friendship with Steve.

Ongline #273 Change

Sun, 04 May 2008 23:15:05 -0500

Not the cheeriest of myself, so I went on and talk about deeper crap. Change of job. Change of friendship. Purpose in life.

Over the weekend, when I was cleaning my face, I saw reflections of myself in my eyes. I just thought it's so cool. So I snapped some pictures of that. And how apt that I get to use this image for this podcast. Searching for self. Looking at myself through my own eyes.

Maiko delivered cuteness

Thu, 21 Feb 2008 19:53:10 +0000

Maiko had been back from Japan for a few weeks. But yesterday was the first time I get to see her. She’s been busy, I was too. She delivered these cute hand-made bean-bag-like cuteness to me. Very sweet of her. I’m so glad she’s back. I have been missing having her around. As I’m getting older, I truly learn to appreciate genuine close friendships. Maiko is top of the short list.

Podcasting is about connections

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 23:06:09 +0000

Today, I was touched by two podcasts.

Nick Thomas shared a very intimate part of him, and no I’m not talking about sex.
“173 The little boy inside”

And Rich from Herro Flom Japan shared a story that touched me so deeply. He shared the birth and death of a special friendship. It’s unfortunate that he had to pull the episode down for personal reasons. Oh boy, can I relate to this experience.
“Another post deleted.”

Shows like these get me going with my own podcasts. This is what had drawn me to podcasting in the first place.

On a lighter note, I was at the gym, all alone at 2:09am, and an email came into my iPhone. It was a listener’s comment:

on this early blue monday moring no listen ur podcast show , my life can’t going on…
2.09pm…thanks god u post ridi…

Another reason why I do the shows. I truly appreciate those who share, and those who appreciate what I share.

Thank you…

Comparing Fat

Tue, 20 Nov 2007 03:07:50 +0000

Almost 11 months ago, I started exercising.
It wasn’t easy. I worked really hard, and I’m still working on making it a natural routine for me.
I think I may be getting the routine part in the near future. As far as natural, at this point, perhaps it’ll never happen.
I was playing with iPhoto on my new iMac and found some older photos. I like to put together a side-by-side comparison to motivate myself to continue exercising. Since I am not doing any diet, and exercise alone takes a while to see results. But I think you can tell from these pictures. If you can’t, go fuck yourself! Just kidding. Not really. I work my ass off, and I still do.

Morning Chai

Fri, 09 Nov 2007 18:50:54 +0000

Chai always snuggles with me in the morning as I’m waking up. I took this picture yesterday and I thought I’d share it with you to balance out some of my anger and complaints.

Go out and love. Let’s start a spark of hope by going back to the basic — love and humanity.

The "T" is last for a reason

Thu, 08 Nov 2007 18:33:04 +0000

I am so disappointed again.

I don’t even know by whom.

ENDA passed the House of Representatives. But without including the transgender community. My heart aches.

When you think about it, many times we can keep our same-sex partner or our sex life outside of our jobs. Many of still do that. But if you are not as lucky to be a passing transgender person, you can’t just keep that quiet.

Shouldn’t we put the T in front of LGBT for ENDA at least?

Sad, but true. I guess the letter “T” is there at the end of LGBT for a reason. We care for them last. I am very sad.

(Of course, I have a feeling that Bush will shoot it down. That’s why we don’t negotiate with scumbags. We should just do what is right. Not just somewhat okay.)

We are fucked

Wed, 07 Nov 2007 18:34:17 +0000

I woke up today with the news of a gay sex raid in Penang.
I am saddened by that. Not for gay sex. They were using condoms for goodness sakes.
Don’t even judge these 37 men. I am so disgusted by how the society treat us. I don’t care if you’re having sex in a monogamous relationship or a group sex. The issue is larger than that. We are being attacked as a group of people. Gay people are being attacked.

What the FUCK!

I thought that’s going to be a horrible news I’ll get today. Was I wrong.

The Democrats are apparently going to let Mukasey become our new Attorney General. How hard is it to recognize that water boarding is torture? He refused to say so. I wonder why? Bush nominated him. I wonder why he’s not taking a stand?

Why are the Democrats letting this happen? I am so hurt and frustrated. How are we suppose to choose now? The horrible or the slightly less horrible? If the Democrats lose in the general election next year, it is their own fault.

FUCK! We are fucked.

Shake it Sheikh

Wed, 24 Oct 2007 19:14:05 +0000

I haven’t been paying too closely an attention to the first Malaysian angkasawan (astronaut) news much.

Yesterday was the first time that I get to look closely at this first Malaysian astronaut.

His name is Sheikh (prounounced like “Shake”) Muszaphar Shukor.

Come on people. Whether you’re gay or straight, you have to admit that he’s HOT!

So handsome!

Inevitably, I started looking for more than just pictures. Found some videos in YouTube.

I’m not judging or anything, but my gaydar went blip-blip-blip.

Perhaps it’s just wishful thinking. I’m attached and all. But what do you think?

Here’s a thought.

What if you’re that goodlooking, that well-known for being the first Malaysian astronaut (I can think of other spelling), and gay?

There is a quote from and article saying:

Sheikh Muszaphar, whose good looks have also landed him modelling jobs, said he had a sweetheart but she understood the demands of the mission.

Now, would the “sweetheart” necessarily be a woman? Or is the press just assumed? And in the article, it was “had” not “has”.

We are talking about a Malaysian in Malaysia. Representing Malaysia throughout the world. A muslim Malaysian. Being gay must not be as easy.

What did I just ramble on?

Did I mention he’s HOT?

Would you rather be gay and happy or famous and successful and being closeted?

I had to send my car to the shop today and took a bus to work. After taking the wrong bus, I ended up walking the rest of the way to work. And I found this big pile of yellow rice with a pair of rubber gloves.

Blame your own hypocrisy!

Don’t shame me. Don’t shame my being. Don’t shame my being gay.

I am proud of it. And I live my life with dignity.

It is your self-righteousness that is shameful.

It is your hypocrisy that is disgusting.

None to do with my being gay. None to do with gay sex. I’m proud of everything about my being gay.

Hypocrites, suck it! (not the good way)

Thank you please.

Almost Set

Tue, 17 Jul 2007 19:14:43 +0000

It just needed time. Yesterday was the time. Support and love from friends helped.

This morning I woke up without the cloud of worries and concerns. What a fucking relief!

The amazing thing is, nothing changed. In fact, my sister is back to the hospital. She’s okay. She needed more treatments. I spoke to her last night. She is more at peace than I was. I am learning. And other things are still the same too. I just stop obsessing about them. I’ll let things fall into their own places at their own time. I’ve given enough and have decided to be nice to myself.

I am not declaring victory in my emotional struggles, but I’m certain almost set.

Amnesty International Applauds Stay of Execution for Troy Davis

Tue, 17 Jul 2007 17:02:25 +0000

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL USA
PRESS RELEASE

July 17, 2007

Amnesty International Applauds Stay of Execution for Troy Davis

(Atlanta) — Amnesty International USA (AIUSA) applauded today’s decision by the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles to grant a 90-day stay of execution to Troy Anthony Davis, who has spent 15 years on death row for a murder that he denies committing. Davis, 38, was convicted despite the lack of a murder weapon or physical evidence linking him to the crime.

“Let today begin a new day for truth and justice in Georgia,” said Larry Cox, executive director of AIUSA. “We call upon the Georgia Parole Board to recognize that in the United States, one is innocent until proven guilty — and in the absence of such proof, there is no acceptable choice but to grant clemency. The Board must recognize the flawed logic of executing a man who may be innocent.”

Troy Anthony Davis, who is African American, was convicted in 1991 of murdering Mark MacPhail, a white police officer. The prosecution based its case on the testimony of purported “witnesses,” many of whom allege police coercion. Seven of the nine non-police witnesses for the prosecution have recanted or contradicted their testimony in sworn affidavits, and nine people assert that one of the two who hasn’t recanted is actually responsible for the murder.

Despite this, Davis’ habeas corpus petition was denied by the state court on a technicality — evidence of police coercion was “procedurally defaulted,” that is, not raised earlier, so the court did not take it. The Georgia Supreme Court and 11th Circuit Federal Court of Appeals deferred to the state court and rejected Davis’ claims, and earlier this month the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear his case.

“We are deeply saddened that the MacPhail family has suffered such pain and hope that today’s decision will lead to a fair and earnest search for justice,” said Sue Gunawardena-Vaughn, director of AIUSA’s Program to Abolish the Death Penalty. “Now that the Board has issued a stay of execution, it is time for authorities to reopen their investigation and seek the truth. Only in that way can society honor the memory of Mark MacPhail.”

Amnesty International has long-standing concerns about Troy Davis’s case. In February of this year, the organization released a 35-page report, “Where is the Justice for Me? The case of Troy Davis, facing execution in Georgia.” In recent weeks the organization has mobilized its worldwide membership and collected thousands of letters calling for clemency for Mr. Davis.
