TCCS – The Chuva Chienes Show 17 – Be Our Guest. Twitter and blogger friend @la_kapitana (AKA Reyna Elena) and @Chuva discuss the beginnings of Reynaelena.com
I am very pleased to have been granted an interview with Reyna Elena of Reynaelena.com. If you are familiar with this blog at all, and if you’re a regular listener to our podcast, you may have heard that he’s one of the reasons why I am a blogger. I have been trying to get him to guest on my podcast but have failed to do so due to our conflicting schedules.
Reyna Elena (known as well as @la_kapitana on) Twitter has finally given us the royal interview. Our stories go back to the very beginning when we all started blogging. Pardon the noise and the barking dogs in the background. I decided to leave the interview as raw as it is to give you the experience as well.
Listen to what he had to say….and where our friendship started.

The truth behind the Marquez Foot Stopping Controversy! (VIDEO) – It takes a lot of practice! Ha!
Okay, Manny Pacquiao won. No bitterness here. Juan Marquez was on the hot seat last month due to a video that surfaced catching him red-handed, using a foot stopping trick that gave him the edge over boxing great Manny Pacquiao. How did Juan Marquez get so good at it?
Watch the video below:
(Thanks to Green Mango [GRNMNGO] for the upload!)
If you enjoyed that, you will enjoy the next video as well. A video of a real dancing COP in Manila. This is how we roll!!

Thanksgiving is here. Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.
If you still don’t know it yet, Thanksgiving is a big holiday here in the US. It’s a time when family gathers together and eat themselves to death.
Yup, turkey is the main symbol for this holiday – but I am not particularly fond of turkey sooooooo, I am serving my first Thanksgiving dinner ever!
TCCS – The Chuva Chienes Show 14 – Be Our Guest. Twitter friend @hamviloria and @Chuva discuss Ms. Shamcey Supsup – The Delayed Reaction…
Hello folks! Sorry for the delayed publication of this podcast. I was going to publish it in time for Ms. Shamcey Supsup’s homecoming to Manila after taking 3rd runner up at the Miss Universe Pageant 2011 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. However, with work and all the things going on in my life right now, I wasn’t able to do so. Editing a podcast takes a bit of time and this is the only time I was able to lock myself in a room and do the editing.
Sorry for the delayed reaction but I thought that it was still a good conversation to have so I am publishing it even though the news is already stale.
I hope you’ll enjoy listening to the conversation as well….

TCCS – The Chuva Chienes Show 13 – Be Our Guest. Featuring @hamviloria and @Chuva discuss “Filipinos” Who we are and what makes us a unique culture.
Filipino? Why is it that Filipinos feel united regardless of where they are in the world? Why do you think Miss Philippines-Universe gets the most votes during the Miss Universe Pageant year after year? Because Filipinos will vote for their own no matter what.
Why is that? What gives unity to Filipinos all over the world? What is it in our culture that unites us? Listen to Chuva and Ham as they discuss why this is the case. Our podcast today is dedicated to all Filipinos around the world.
You may watch this award-winning short film as well as a pre-requisite to the discussion:

Hello TCCS Listeners! Here’s the second half of our interview with Professional Hairdresser, Ham Viloria.
Like I stated in the last podcast, Part 1 – I had to cut this into two parts because I try to limit my podcast into one half hour episodes to not bore any of you. Hopefully our topics are good so far and you will be willing to return to listen some more.

TCCS – The Chuva Chienes Show 7 – Be Our Guest. Podcast redemption for Ham Viloria Part 1
The Chuva Chienes Show is getting a lot of feedback now from listeners. Our guest for tonight, for the second time on TCCS, Fabulous and Professional Hairdresser, Ham Viloria.
It’s our way to try and save the last podcast filled with technical difficulties on both ends. Nagkaloko-loko ang connection namin and Ham, a perfectionist, wanted to redeem himself by asking for another guesting at TCCS.
Since ang bait bait (super bait) ni Chuva, we welcomed another phone call from Ham Viloria. The conversation turned out really well that it took us a whole hour to finish our conversation. That is why we are splitting the podcast into two segments. This is part one, just so that listeners won’t get bored. Huwag sana kayong magsawa.
Listen in and please do provide your feedback at the comment section below, para naman alam kong may listeners kami… hahaha!!

TCCS – The Chuva Chienes Show TCCS Podcast 5 – The Technical Difficulties of Ham Viloria – Ha!
At long last! From the beginning of the podcast to the end, I have had nothing but technical difficulties with this one.
It started as a simple podcast arrangement with one of my Twitter friends who would like to call in to TCCS – The Chuva Chienes Show – and discuss whatever subject matter that would come up. We set up a date and a time where he can call me only to find out that the technology that was supposed to help us make things easier, made things worse.
@hamviloria is a Twitter acquaintance who’s heard about The Chuva Chienes Show from our circle of friends on Twitter. He was quick to volunteer to call in and speak to yours truly, Chuva Chienes. I promptly agreed and the call was set.
Namputcha… when the time came, we were met with one problem after problem. First, the computer he was supposed to use to call me on Skype was out of order. We tried another way by using his blackberry, downloading the Skype app while he called me on my iPhone which already had the app. All was saved right? Not really.
Listen to the podcast and you will understand what I mean.
It wasn’t all that bad. It turned out really well in the end and I was pleasantly surprised to hear @hamviloria’s voice for the very first time. Pramis, ka-boses niya si Bryanboy. Haha! But we had a fun time talking and he is a pleasure to talk to. I really wish we had more time.
Makinig na!

One photo that will make you take a double-look. Whaaaat? Yes. Look again.
Oh sheesh!
It’s not what you are thinking of. I know what you’re thinking of…. yes, that too! But if you look closer, you can clearly see that these are feeding pigs with a baby in the middle.
Just thought I’d get your attention.
Now – back to work people!!!
TCCS – The Chuva Chienes Show TCCS Podcast 4 – Divorce in the Philippines. Agree or Disagree?
Should divorce be allowed in a Catholic country like the Philippines?
There are many reasons why couples file for divorce. It could be because of financial hardship, infidelity, and the worst – domestic violence. The Philippines is the only remaining country in the world who does not allow divorce.
House Bill 1799 was introduced by GABRIELA Women’s Party in July of 2010. Here’s an except from the bill:
Even when couples start out well in their marriage, political, economic and social realities take their toll on their relationship. Some are not prepared to handle the intricacies of the married life. For a large number of women, the inequalities and violence in marriage negate its ideals as the embodiment of love, care and safety and erode the bases upon which a marriage is founded. The marital relations facilitate the commission of violence and perpetuate their oppression. Official figures in 2009 showed that nineteen women were victims of marital violence everyday. Among the different forms of violence and abuse against women committed in 2009, wife battery ranked highest at 6,783 or 72% according to the Philippine National Police (PNP). The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) likewise recorded marital violence as highest among different forms of violence against women at 1,933. Previous reports of the PNP about three of ten perpetrators of violence against women were husbands of the victims. Husbands accounted for 28 per cent of the violence against women crimes.
What is your position regarding this issue? Are you for or against divorce? Should the Philippines adopt such a bill just like every country in the modern world?
Listen to what Chuva Chienes has to say about the subject. To review the full bill, please read House Bill 1799 in full.

We are booked for our cruise to Turkey and Greece! Yay!! Azamara Cruises
Well, you might all think that I am really spoiled and that I travel too much. I am not. It takes hard work and “conections” to be able to do the traveling that I do.
Last year, I went on a European Cruise for 11 days and I had a blast. That was the first cruise I ever went on and it was the most magical experience. The cost of that cruise was an unbelievable special rate of $500.00 USD. Yes, to see eight cities in Europe for that amount is insanely cheap!
This time around, we are taking a cruise to Greece and Turkey on Azamara Quest. It’s a luxury cruise ship and I am sooo excited! Did you know that we just got upgraded from a interior state room to an ocean view state room? How lucky can one get?
I am so excited! We just booked our flights as well that just got confirmed. ALL ABOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brown Coffee Co. Defends Its Homophobic Tweet hours afer passing of Gay Marriage in NYC
Everybody in the world celebrated on Friday when it was announced that Marriage Equality bill was passed and signed i into law in New York City – the sixth largest city to adopt the bill.
Governor Andrew Cuomo was hailed as a hero for keeping is promise with placards during the Gay Pride Parade in New York saying, “Promise Kept!”.
It was a big deal. Probably not a big deal for heterosexuals because it will not affect them. However, a company decided to tweet the message on the screenshot above – hours after the bill was passed.
TCCS – The Chuva Chienes Show TCCS Podcast 3 – Friendships
Our podcast topic for this week started out funny. Our very first caller, Annabel Ramos called in with a question. It was a quick conversation on the phone and I was able to record it for all of you to hear.
The question was simple and I thought it would be an easy one to answer… until I reflected on it and thought about the advice I was going to give Annabel.
I was shocked to find that the question was more serious than I had thought…. and you will be surprised at how I came up with the answer…
Take a listen…

Hate Crimes Law is very much needed in the Philippines. Let’s help stop hate crimes!
I guess I was naive to think that hate crimes law have been implemented in every nation. In the United States, civil rights movements fought for racial equality. Remember racial segregation? Rights of African-Americans in the south suffered civil rights violations up to the 1960s.
Previous hate crimes laws only covered discrimination based on race, color, religion or national origin.
Hate Crimes law aims to punish people who violate it. Persons violating the 1969 Federal Hate Crimes Law face a fine or imprisonment of up to one year, or both. If bodily injury results or if such acts of intimidation involve the use of firearms, explosives or fire, individuals can receive prison terms of up to 10 years, while crimes involving kidnapping, sexual assault, or murder can be punishable by life in prison or the death penalty
TCCS – The Chuva Chienes Show TCCS Podcast 2 – June 2011
Back so soon right? Ha!
Well, I was bored last night and even though I am all stressed out at work and busy with school, I was able to escape to record a quick podcast for my readers and my Twitter friends.
Our topic for tonight? True Love… Ha!
The question is, do you believe in True Love? I still don’t believe in it.
If you have any suggestions for topic or format of the podcast, just let me know at the comments section below.

If you’re a cat “caught barking” what would you do? Start faking you were meowing the whole time. (VIDEO)
I hate cats! Ha!
Why? Because my neighbor’s cat has nothing better to do than to tease my dog Jake. He seems to be prancing around outside, trying to annoy my dog as if he’s saying, “I’m outside and you’re not! He-he-he!”
And you know why I hate cats? Because they are tricky like that. Now, there’s proof!
Watch this cat, who seems to be enjoying the pretend game of “BARKING” until he was caught on cam. And just look at his face when he realized that he just got caught. Sneaky bastard!
Pulitzer Prize-Winning Gay Filipino Reporter, Comes Out as Undocumented Immigrant”
The piece written by award-winning journalist, Jose Antonio Vargas for the New York Times was excellently and fluidly written that one has to feel what an undocumented immigrant feels like while living in the shadows here in the U.S.
So, to my fellow Filipinos who may read this piece, life in America is not all what it seems to be. We dream of coming here and reaching for the American dream. Without the proper documents, in these days of high-security and terrorism, it will be a hard life for you especially if you are undocumented.
Take a hard look before jumping into the unknown. America is a great country and it has everything to offer you – but you would want to be here legally. Otherwise, you will go through life as if you’re living a lie that you cannot disclose. It is probably worse than hiding in the closet if you’re gay.
Here’s an excerpt from the piece he wrote for NY Times:
My mother wanted to give me a better life, so she sent me thousands of miles away to live with her parents in America — my grandfather (Lolo in Tagalog) and grandmother (Lola). After I arrived in Mountain View, Calif., in the San Francisco Bay Area, I entered sixth grade and quickly grew to love my new home, family and culture. I discovered a passion for language, though it was hard to learn the difference between formal English and American slang. One of my early memories is of a freckled kid in middle school asking me, “What’s up?” I replied, “The sky,” and he and a couple of other kids laughed. I won the eighth-grade spelling bee by memorizing words I couldn’t properly pronounce. (The winning word was “indefatigable.”)
One day when I was 16, I rode my bike to the nearby D.M.V. office to get my driver’s permit. Some of my friends already had their licenses, so I figured it was time. But when I handed the clerk my green card as proof of U.S. residency, she flipped it around, examining it. “This is fake,” she whispered. “Don’t come back here again.”
TCCS – The Chuva Chienes Show is Back!!!! TCCS Podcast 1 – June 2011
Hello readers! This has been long overdue. It has been a little over 2 years since I did my last podcast. I remember that it was Father’s Day of 2009 when I recorded that podcast and somehow, things got busy and I wasn’t able to get back to it.
Now, even with the mixed up schedules that I have with school, work and other activities, I found a way to get back to something that I loved doing. Podcasting.
I welcome you back and I hope you will welcome my podcasts again. It’s my way of interacting with my readers (and future listeners) and I hope you will give me a chance to share my thoughts with you. If you would like to be a part of my podcast, you can share your concerns, your loves, your successes or anything that you would like to share with the world.
Again, welcome and please do leave comments below to let me know that you were here. Kulitan, tawanan, and even serious conversations are more than welcome…

So True! Bullies must really feel this way about homosexuality. LOL!
Ever wonder what really goes on in the minds of bullies? Most specially those who bully homosexual teens? I think this video captures it…. it’s all the hidden desires they don’t want to exhibit that makes them bullies…

LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, AND TRANSGENDER PRIDE MONTH, 2011 -Presidential Proclamation
THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 31, 2011
LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, AND TRANSGENDER PRIDE MONTH, 2011
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
The story of America’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community is the story of our fathers and sons, our mothers and daughters, and our friends and neighbors who continue the task of making our country a more perfect Union. It is a story about the struggle to realize the great American promise that all people can live with dignity and fairness under the law. Each June, we commemorate the courageous individuals who have fought to achieve this promise for LGBT Americans, and we rededicate ourselves to the pursuit of equal rights for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
Since taking office, my Administration has made significant progress towards achieving equality for LGBT Americans. Last December, I was proud to sign the repeal of the discriminatory “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. With this repeal, gay and lesbian Americans will be able to serve openly in our Armed Forces for the first time in our Nation’s history. Our national security will be strengthened and the heroic contributions these Americans make to our military, and have made throughout our history, will be fully recognized.
After a couple of days in Sao Paulo, we are headed for Rio de Janeiro
Hello folks!! Sorry for the lack of posts. I am currently in Brazil right now, on vacation. I am still here in Sao Paulo and although I like Sao Paulo, there’s really very limited sites to see. I went to Cathedral de Se and I will post photos soon. My friends went to Ibirapuera Park, which is within walking distance from our hotel – and they said it was nice.
Anyway, we are already headed to Rio de Janeiro tomorrow. I just wanted to write about my experience with a local friend here. I was invited to a party last night and my friends were supposed to go with me but I ended up going by myself. The trip was about an hour away from where we were staying and I was going with a friend whom I recently met. I was kind of afraid to venture out but I just trusted my instincts and went with it.
All my bags are packed, I am ready to go!! — Brasil! #RioDeJaneiro #Sao Paulo
Paris Hilton arriving in Sao Paulo, Brasil for Fashion Week last January.
Ashton Kutcher arrives with Demi Moore at Guarulhos International Airport for Fashion Week.
This is going to be my third time to visit one of the most exciting places in the world – BRAZIL.
I just can’t get enough of the country. No wonder, celebrities are flocking the country like the world is going to end. It’s just amazing to meet many wonderful and beautiful people in this friendly country.
Did you guys know that I received some gifts from the Brazil’s Department of Tourism? Yup. That was very nice of them~ ! I will be wearing the t-shirt when I get to Sao Paulo and when we go for our tour of Christ the Redeemer and Sugar Loaf. The country is going strong financially and specifically, the city of Florianopolis has flourished amidst the financial crisis and now the favorite destination of the world’s rich and famous.
I will be taking lots of pictures so keep an eye out for my Brazilian visit posts.
My Brazilian friends – - – see you there!!!
