Dating: The Coño Kid

Posted on February 1, 2012 by justjoem

We’ve read the problems of the Coño Kid on Twitter last month. But have you actually encountered one for Saturdate?

As a Lasallite since birth, the Coño Way of Thinking is as common as seeing someone sporting Palladium boots instead of Doc’s for Mondays and an overdose of Ralph Lauren Polo Sport apparel back in the 90’s. Attention seeking, but not at all impressive.  I do believe however that there’s a Coño in all of us. We just make sure though to balance it with isaw, MRT, and Anne Curtis for a dash of Jejeism. The best of both worlds is and will always be the key.

Brasilipinas 2012 on February 17

Posted on January 23, 2012 by justjoem

It’s that time of the year again to have a big party, which somehow I can compare to New Year’s Eve. This February 17, 2012 (Friday) is BRASILIPINAS at the Rockwell Tent.

Turn on your samba moves. The drinks are on us. Hear the beating drums.  Be amazed with the art of Capoeira. And simply dance the night away with great music and…. Overflowing CUTE people, this I can guarantee for sure! Even a friend told me last year that cute people converge for Brasilipinas!

No Opus, Republiq, or Skye muna cuz on February 17 everyone will be real, dancing and free for Brasilipinas!

It’s definitely more fun in the Philippines on Feb. 17. See you there!

It’s More Fun in the Philippines

Posted on January 9, 2012 by justjoem

Let me just say that the new tourism campaign of the Department of Tourism is simply the TRUTH! Please Huwag na maging negatron!  You don’t work in advertising and coming up with an intellectual retort will simply make you look ignorant and a crab. Seriously! It’s time to support! Kahit this once lang.

Dating: Boom Pak Confeermed! HOHOL nga!

Posted on January 5, 2012 by justjoem

Okay darling! This will be the LAST of the dating chronicles with the London whatever. A bit TMI with what I’m doing, but it’s funny! Dating should be fun and adventures of everyone’s dating mishaps and/or fortunes should be shared with loved ones like you.

Like one time in band camp back in the summer of 2005, there was a date who puckered his lips, closed his eyes, and expected a kiss before dropping him home (Que Horror!). Trauma! I saw him recently and asked me if I’m trying to lose weight- coz’ it’s hard daw to lose weight… especially in the belly area. Asshole!

Because of that, you get a tweet! (follow me: @joemsegovia)

Video Log: November to December 2011

Posted on January 4, 2012 by justjoem

It’s the 3rd of January 2012, exactly 12:30 in the morning and we’ll all be back to regular programming in about eight hours. It was a fun ride of destination: good times.

Home is definitely just a state of mind. We over shopped in California and over partied in Manila, Family connections and friendships. The working idea for 2012, which I just managed to put into words during the New Year’s sunrise… SOMETHING BIGGER!

To 2012. From 2011. Something BIGGER!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2011: Rest In Peace

Posted on December 31, 2011 by justjoem

The afterlife is officially cool with the new addition of awesome artists, fantastic shows, and colorful people.

There’s Amy Winehouse on vocals. And yes, she can still go to rehab in the new Bette Ford Clinic- Cloud 9 Retreat. Heaven’s chief modista since 1997, Gianni Versace, has acquired new celebrity clients, which includes Elizabeth Taylor and Zsa Zsa Gabor. The two were spotted wearing a layered cardigan by Versace at St. Peter’s Walk with Butler Michael Gough in tow.

Dating: HoHoL (Hang-out, hang-out lang)

Posted on December 25, 2011 by justjoem

Two bars and a sushal place after, and my date has officially been downgraded to a simple Hohol. Madami na akong Hohols, please lang! At times you dream for something serious, but not me… not yet. I’m all about fireworks… like Katy Perry.

The first date was a realization, but I was still in love with the idea and the impression of you. Heller! It took me five years kaya! The second was a confirmation that there was no interest at all- I don’t know, I’m not good at playing these mind games, you know. And the third was nothing more but a bump in the head. I pulled some strings pa for an all-access pass to chi-chi Manila and you’re still High Standards- Best Quality- Arte Overload… like me. But you know, there can only be one.

Baka naman you’re Angel Locsin and you like fishballs, tokneneng, and fried isaws… I can do that too, you know. Game?

Weekend Playlist 1

Posted on December 23, 2011 by justjoem

This holiday season let’s make love with the eargasmic tunes I found online. Just because they aren’t Christmas songs doesn’t mean it’s perfect for the season. Christmas is about love or the lack of it, warmth or being ice-cold single, and kisses or MOMOL nights. So are these songs:

Cover: Use Somebody by Laura Jensen

I like Kings of Leon, but baklas don’t like it cuz it’s too straight for their taste. So here’s a perfect rendition to make it more suitable for their appetite. Yun mga pumaparty dyan, here’s your version.

Food: In-N-Out and Nostalgia

Posted on December 20, 2011 by justjoem

Burgers bring memories.

Sometimes, you remember not the taste of the food but the memories it brings. Burger Machine is one creation that a lot of us have in common after an epic night out. Whether you start it out at a sushal place in Makati or somewhere more masa in Quezon City, Burger Machine will always be the final destination for all, a great equalizer like KC Concepcion before she went mainstream; pre-Piolo and Century Tuna… Paris KC to be exact.

My personal favorite has got to be the Burger Machine’s roast beef sandwich. It reminds me of post work-out, post wasakan and a more serious chismisan portion of the night after all that hobnobbing and beso-beso. It’s not about the taste. Again, it’s about the memories.

Double Double is not from Fancy Town.

In-N-Out was literally my first stop right after touchdown in sweet California. This burger joint is an ultimate classic of mine. Just like in perfumery, the Double Double has top notes that consist of premium beef and bacon strips with no additives and grilled to perfection, and baked bread like what our Lolas used to make (no sesame). Middle notes include crunchy lettuce, a slice of a plump tomato (not kamatis), classic American cheese (not Quickmelt) and crispy onion rings for that right bite.

Dating: First Date with that London Guy

Posted on December 19, 2011 by justjoem

August 2010: Three strangers with my friends. The day I got your name.

It took me five years and liquid courage to get your name only to find out that you were leaving. It set my life to a quarter life crisis because I’m drama that way. I don’t even know you and you were able to do this to an asshole like me. It taught me a valuable lesson of making the first move. Walls down. Torpe-mode OFF. But it was too late na. Kasi I’m too maarte like so.

It was a year of regret. Of stalking Facebook and wondering if you were doing the same. Of finding meaning in the songs of James McMorrow, Blank & Jones, Adele, and Kaskade even. Of looking up the sky at night holding my beloved whiskey and wondering if I’ll ever get to see you again.
