Shit posters are the bane of my existence.

My friends...

Sometimes I don’t like my friends because I feel like they’re acting like selfish arseholes, but I still love them at the end of the day.

Confession number 2

I fucking hate teenagers. 

Especially the ones trying to be deep and edgy. (I also hate adults who continue to act like deep, edgy teenagers because it’s just fucking pretentious. I have a good friend like this, and I love him even though he’s a pretentious twat). 

The ones I’ve met are cocky arseholes that I wish I was still young enough to smack the shit out of without it being frowned upon.

Titibo-tibo fever: My two cents on how homosexuality is taken lightly through the lyrics

Today, the song "Titibo-tibo" by Moira Dela Torre is on Spotify's top hits in the Philippines. It has a sweet melody and a catchy tune -- may be enough for you to have the last song syndrome (LSS).

Sweet as it may seem, I find the lyrics troublesome because of how it portrays homosexuality lightly. The lyrics showed how someone's preference could be altered just because of a man's effort. According to John Mychal Feraren's article on Claire Delfin Media, homosexuality is not something that desires to be changed even by the purest intentions of love. As it is, homosexuality is to be accepted, not altered, just to conform to society's standards.

"Walang matigas na tinapay sa mainit na kape ng iyong pagmamahal," did this discourse claim that one's gender could be altered because of lowkey kiligs? Because I do believe that the concept of love is deeper than that.

This goes out to girls like me who have a different taste of preference -- how many times did you encounter a guy saying that he'll make you straight? Doesn't it bother you how society sees bisexuality/homosexuality as a phase?

This song's catchy tune validated the stereotyping of lesbians/bisexuals that our gender is a phase to conform with society's standards -- which is so wrong on too many levels. We are valid, and having a "man" who would pamper you won't make you straight. 

I want to know the thoughts of people like me upon hearing this song. Do you agree that having your "prince charming" can alter your preference? Hit me up, and let's have an intellectual conversation.
