one of my paid art work…
i’m working at the mall which means, i didn’t have work during the lockdown…
luckily, i have one customer who continually gave me something to paint…
my new talent helps us to survive during this pandemic thingy…
my back story...
nasa late-30′s na ko ngayon at mag-iisang taon palang akong “artist”…late bloomer? siguro, dahil bago ko lang natuklasan kung ano talaga ang gusto ko, kung ano ang magpapasaya sa akin, kung ano ang passion ko…
madami akong gustong gawin, magdrawing, magluto, magbusiness at kung ano ano pa…
graduate ako ng college, nagkatrabaho din pero saglit lang, nag-apply pero di pinalad na matanggap..umabot din ako sa point na, makontento na lang sa bahay at makasama ang long time partner ko…
sa loob ng mga panahon iyon, nagkaroon ako ng depression sa sobrang gulo ng buhay ko o sobrang kalma na wala akong ginagawa para makaramdam ako ng self-fulfillment at direction sa buhay …gang maghiwalay kami ng partner ko…
pamilya ko ang tumulong sa akin para magsimula ulit…dinala nila ako sa neurologist at hanggang ngayon nagtatake pa ko ng meds para sa depression…nag-enroll din ako noon para makapagturo…fallback ko ang pagteteacher dahil yun ang gusto ng tatay ko at dun kahit matanda na, pwede pa…
habang nag-aaral, nagkalakas ako ng loob mag-enroll din sa art lesson sa isang mall…matagal ko nang gustol dun dahil mahilig ako magdrawing pero di natutuloy…
unang session palang, iba na yun sayang naramdaman ko…malaking tulong din sa depression ko sabi ng doctor ko…sinabihan din ako ng boss ko na may talent ako, na may galing ako sa pag-papaint…
nang malapit nang matapos ang session, inalok ako ng may-ari ng shop kung gusto ko magbantay habang patuloy nya akong tuturuan…pumayag ako, kasi gustong gusto ko talagang magwork at sa mall pa…kaya kahit maliit ang sahod, pumayag ako…
habang nagbabantay, araw araw din ako nagprapractice magpainting…ito ang unang beses na nagpaiting ako, oo nagdradrawing ako pero mga doodle lang…hanggang ito na nga, ngayon taon na ito, sinabi ng boss ko na “artist” na nya ko!!!
bottom line: wala sa edad kung kelan mo makikilala ng lubusan ang sarili mo, kung ano talaga ang gusto mo, kung ano ang passion mo na magpapasaya sayo…maliban sa bagong passion at alam ko sa sarili ko na ito na ang gagawin ko hanggang pagtanda ko, na-gain ko din ang self confidence at self esteem..ibang saya ang nararamdaman ko tuwing nakakatapos ako ng painting at nagugustuhan ng mga customer, lalo na kapag sila mismo nagsasabi na maganda ang gawa ko…ito na yun laging sinasabi sakin ng partner ko, makaramdam ng self fulfillment na di matutumbasan ng kahit ano sa mundo…
i really enjoy painting these cuties…

Just Married.
It wasn’t “Wedding of the Year” and it’s not the typical wedding you see on movies and such but everything about our wedding seemed perfect. You may have heard this from almost all people who had just gotten married that, indeed, their weddings are perfect and one can’t really judge what perfection is.
However, I loved the intimacy of our ceremony. It was just me, my wife, and my sister. Calling her my wife, by the way, is giving me that romantic excitement and those butterflies in my stomach.
September 20, 2019. Pre-wedding Meeting.
It was a rainy afternoon. We were collected by the hotel chauffeur from the airport and we immediately went to the hotel-apartment. We sent a message to Andred, the marriage minister, informing them that we were already in South Africa.
We met them shortly after arriving at the hotel-apartment and wanted to offer them something to drink but we literally did not have anything to offer at the moment. We didn’t know where the store was and we’ve literally just thrown our baggage inside the rooms so the living room did not look crowded. Andred and Alison are the proxy wedding coordinators because Kirsty, our main contact person from Weddings Out of Africa, was away for business.
During the meeting, Andred and Alison explained to us how the ceremony was going to happen. They said that the driver will pick us up and we’ll meet at the venue, Bakoven Rocks. Andred had a few questions about our preferences for the ceremony as he didn’t want to make it like a Civil Wedding where it is rushed and is lacking that romantic touch - which, by the way, was what we expected.
Then he asked us if we wanted the ceremony to be more religious or spiritual. Us both being omnists, we preferred something spiritual and factual. We told him that we didn’t want to offend anyone if we push through with religious verses and anecdotes on the wedding and neither of us are religious as well. With this, Andred smiled and asked a few more questions about our relationship, how it started and how long we’ve been together.
He and Alison were a joy to speak with. By the end of the conversation, we found ourselves adoring them!
September 22, 2019.
We had a pre-wedding shoot at Signal Hill and met, for the first time, Jilda, our photographer. Being both Filipino women who are working in the Middle East, we aren’t used at all to be intimate on photos. We don’t kiss and barely hold hands in public. So you can imagine the discomfort we felt while we were there wearing dresses and all glammed up and was told to kiss for the camera. The first 15 mintues was excruciatingly awkward. We were so conscious of the people around us who were looking at us too. Then Jilda told us not to worry because we will not be discriminated there. She said that every second or third couple you meet in Capetown was a same-sex couple. Then some lurkers who passed by were smiling and saying “Congratulations” to us. That was when we started to calm down. People were looking but there was no judgment. It was as if they were just looking at a normal couple who were having a photoshoot. Then on the other side of the mountain, we saw another hetero-couple who were doing the same thing and they both also congratulated us like it’s the most natural thing
To be honest, that was the first time we felt free in our own skin. It was the first time we were acknowledged by strangers to be girlfriends and not as girl “friends”. It was a freeing moment for us both.
September 23, 2019.
10AM-3PM, we went for hair and make-up and by 4PM our driver, Brian, was already waiting for us outside our hotel-apartment. We were already dressed in our wedding outfits and Honey, my wife, was looking gorgeous as ever!
Brian welcomed us and told us that we looked stunning, “Thanks, Brian.” LOL. We got in, tried our best to feel comfortable and were actually NOT nervous at all. On the contrary, we were super excited. We drove about 10 minutes to the location and upon arrival, the photographers and wedding coordinators were already there.
We stepped down from the car and Brian told us that he’ll just be on standby there so we can leave our things. We thanked them and the photographer greeted us while Andred and Alison hugged us. We walked a few minutes towards the big pile of boulders which made both of us laugh because we were wearing high heels. Alison held my hand for support and my sister was helping Honey.
As we were situated by a flat boulder, we were asked to position in front of the minister, Andred. The weather was surprisingly great despite the rainy days beforehand.
No words can describe our wedding. It wasn’t the usual type; there was no entourage, it wasn’t in a church. Excluding the photographers and the wedding organizers, the only guest was our sister. The outfits weren’t blinding white nor lacy (as a matter of fact, we got it off the racks), the champagne non-alcoholic (LOL) and to top it all off… there were two brides.
Andred started reading his script and we were simply blown away with how simple it is yet very sincere. The ceremony wasn’t grand nor was it lavished with romantic anecdotes, but it was sincere.
The Vow.
Having spent night and day with each other for the years we’ve been together, one can definitely say that we’ve been through a lot.
We literally came out to our families at the same time, became OFWs together and learned the ropes in life in the same manner.
I was still a kid in the head when we met and we grew up and matured together. There were times that we learned, laughed and there were even times when we both were miserable and downright low… but we held on knowing that even as the world around us crashed into us - we had each other and its all that matters.
So the vows were said from the heart… they were words that had been etched in each of our souls. We both cried. Not with any specific emotion but with a lot of emotions being felt at once.
After all the years that had passed, we have finally turned into reality a long-aspired reverie that used to seem impossible.
We put the ring on each other’s finger and kissed for the first time - as wife and wife. Mrs. and Mrs. Rabanes.
The wedding itself wasn’t what most would say is their dream wedding, but it was ours. Every bit of the ceremony for us was perfection! The waves crashing into the boulders were our music, our melody. The cool wind brushing to our skin demanded for our embrace and the sun brought out glitter and joy from our eyes.
The venue was secluded and very romantic. It was a dream come true where “I do” was professed in a whisper of authenticity rather than a loud declaration of ownership. It’s everything we dreamed of and more… It’s the beginning of another sequel to the story of our lives.

Being Femme in PH
Hi My name is Megan, I came out at age 22 to Mormon parents in a country where being a lesbian has a stereotype in which I don’t fit in - The Philippines.
I was asexual most of my teenage life. I pretended to like boys because all of my girl friends had been liking boys. In a society where girls are only supposed to like boys, what should a child who has no romantic affinity for either one do? Of course, try to fit in by doing what the immediate society dictates.
As I aged, I started to realize that I like women but I don’t want to look like the Filipino stereotype for lesbians. Having no one to look up to as an example, I began to feel weary. I was afraid to be discriminated by a community that didn’t accept lesbians, and if I do come out as lesbian, I was afraid to be discriminated by the fact that I may not be “lesbian enough”. What am I? I kept asking myself and at the same time trying to forge feelings for a boy I’ve consciously decided to be in a relationship with only because its what was expected of me.
At that time in the Philippines, a femme lesbian is considered a confused woman. To them, femmes are just straight women who wants to experiment and try something different. This is because a “real” lesbian has been stereotyped as someone who cuts their hair short and who dresses and acts like a man. In a heavily Christian country, people look at the people in the LGBTQ++ community with contempt and abomination. “God only made man and woman. No one in between.” This was what I kept hearing growing up.
At the time I met my partner. I began to sum up the courage to truly be myself. With her, I didn’t need to feel obliged with what I am and how I’m supposed to act. She brought out the best in me and I knew instantly what I am. I am a lesbian woman and I don’t need to fit in any stereotype - I am just ME. I used to write in my journal daily about almost everything, so when my parents read it - I was forced to “come out”. My father told me to read the bible and go over the Sodom and Gomorrah verses in it. The days that followed after I came out was just chaotic. I even found out that after my partner left the country for work, my mother got the chance to send her a message telling her that it would be better if she and I were just friends. When we didn’t budge, everyone in the family started ignoring me like I didn’t exist. One even went out of her way to telling me not to introduce my niece to my lesbian friends so she wouldn’t be “infected” by the likes of me. So I made a decision to leave the house because nothing there felt like home anymore - I did not feel wanted.
Even after leaving the house though, I still made sure to come home every weekend and spend time with my family. My partner also convinced me to do so even if my parents still showed disdain and couldn’t even look at me. She told me that if I couldn’t put my pride away, it would only fill more gaps in between me and my parents. Six months into wooing them, my mother had started to soften. She would start by preparing me food before I leave the house or start asking questions about my partner.
I thought it was tough to come out to parents, I realized it’s even tougher to come out to friends. When I came out to my family, I also came out on social media - I guess it was a form of defiance to a culture and community that refuses to recognize the minority that is the LGBTQ. My friends had started to find out one by one and I’ve lost so many of them at once. There were girl friends who thought I was into them all those times, friends who couldn’t accept me for who I truly am, friends who thought that I was probably just going through a phase, and friends who thought that I was only seeking attention. There were a few more people whom I’ve just met who tells me that a guy from the past probably hurt me that’s why I’m now with a woman. In the Philippines, everything has to have a logical reason and unfortunately homosexuality isn’t logical enough.
Although I’ve lost certain people in my life, I’ve never felt freer. I was finally in my own skin, able to be that person who’s always just been casted away in my shadows. The many debating voices in my head had started to disappear and I’ve never looked at the future with more clarity. I’ve become the person who I was supposed to be and am with the person I love whole-heartedly. I didn’t mind that I wasn’t accepted by a lot of other people, what mattered was I am accepted by the people that matters.
Seven years later, I am engaged to the only person who taught me not to be afraid to be me. And guess what? Both my parents are extremely supportive of it. They even processed some documents for us so we can successfully be wed in the next few months.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that life isn’t always rainbows and sunshine but if you go with what your heart truly desire, no matter how bad things may seem and how scared you may be - there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel.
Coming out takes a lot of thought process and the experience is different for every individual. But once you come into terms with who you really are, take that leap of faith and you’ll know that every pain is worth it. Be the kind of woman you’ve always wanted to be, not the version of woman people say you ought to be.
just gotta keep pushing yourself
