as that 70s disco song goes...

back in your arms
is where i wanna be
wanna be-heeeee [yes, kasama yung birit]
back in your arms
that's my high
hiiiiiiiiigh [birit ulit]

if all we need to know is to not be ashamed to let your loved one know that you want her to be with you and you want to be with her, then what's stopping you to shamelessly admit this?

there just ain't no pride in the name of love, honey. what more in the name of love? listen to bono.

i'm just glad no one stopped me. and her.

no more shame.

i didn't know that the title of this song was "Shame" until they featured it on THE SEARCH FOR THE NEXT PUSSYCAT DOLL last season and the contestant girls just performed this better than i imagined those puki-ket dalls would... (yes, guilty pleasure to watch this show)

nakakatuwa. you really learn something new every day.

here's the rest of the song:

SHAME
[Written by J.H. Fitch & R. Cross]

(If we lose our love it's a shame)
(If we lose our love it's a shame)
(If we lose our love it's a shame)
(Mever gonna find it again no baby)
(If we lose our love it's a shame)
(Never gonna find it again no no no)

Shame
Burning keep my whole body yearning
You got me so confused it's a shame
Sometimes I think I'm going insane
Still I wanna stay
(Back in your arms that's where I wanna be)
Where I wanna be (Wanna be)
(Back in your arms that's my high)
High

Shame
Ooh my mamma says you're playing a game
And what you do to me is a shame
Ooh wouldn't wanna live through the pain
Mamma just don't understand

(Back in your arms that's where I wanna be)
Where I wanna be
(Wanna be)
(Back in your arms that's my high)
High

I can't get enough
(Ooh) Ooh baby enough of that magic touch
Love is in my heart, tearing the rules apart
So why should I be ashamed

Shame
Only love can beat the pain
And if we lose our love it's a shame
Ooh I wouldn't want to live with the pain
Gonna stay forever

(If we lose our love it's a shame)
Oh no
(If we lose our love it's a shame)
(Never gonna find it again no) no (no) no (no) no

I can't get enough
Ooh baby enough of that magic touch
Love is in my heart, tearing the rules apart

Ooh it's a ooh
(Shame)
Gonna stay forever
(Shame)
Only love can beat the pain
No no no
(Shame)
Mamma says you're playing a game
Mamma just don't understand
(Shame)
What you do to me is a shame!

i just have to say this to some colleagues and like-minded people in the west.

come on you guys, let's face it. the president of iran is clueless. is there any doubt? what did you expect? typical of him na e...

for those of you who don't know, he spoke in columbia u in ny and in one open forum declared that "there are no gays in iran." that even made its rounds a late night talk shows like jay leno's. which is funny, and i know for a fact, because not too long ago, i befriended a lesbian iranian, and she was just so amazed at how we here could literally walk the streets in tomas morato and hold hands like that, two girls obviously in love. and we listened to her stories of how inequality still exists in the realities where it hits the most. so to those in the diaspora, maybe it's a bit different for you guys, but back in the homeland, that's another story...

oh well. bilog ang mundo. iikot din yan to our favor.

soon!

so keep calm. and remain fabulous! chos.
