YAY!
This is my first blog for this group! Hehe!
And I would like to dedicate my first blog to the first 'true' and 'sincere' person I met here on the internet.
Exactly 5 years ago, I talked to a certain guy on the internet named "John LX." Apparently, he was the founder/owner of the first LGBT groups on the internet I ever joined with. It was 'BiPinoyGuys.' Mind you guys, eGroups pa nun. So everything from the buttons, to the mail attachments & colors eh jurassic na jurassic talaga! But I digress.
He has this SMS messaging on his website, and so I texted him through there and he replied right away! I actually joined his eGroups weeks prior to our first chat over the phone. Our first phone conversation was March 26, 2001. Want to know how long it lasted? 3 1/2 hours lang naman. Specifically, 12 midnight up to 3:30am. Base sa diary ko (I have kept a personal journal since 1995), he was the one who hung up first kase may office pa siya that day. It was early Monday morning nun. LOLz
Usual talks ang nangyari, kelan ako nag-start, what do I like on guys, my sexual preference, etc..etc. Though that time, I've already accepted myself as a gay guy, straight acting, discreet gay guy. John LX was not the first guy I talked to over the phone, pero nung time na yun kasi kahit na pare-parehas ang pag-usapan nyo sa umpisa, same emotions rin ung naramdaman ko. Tipong, "I've finally met or talked to someone whom I could relate to."
I was young, I had my first relationship in 2000. I was only 19 then. Di sya ganon kaseryoso, well at least to the 'other guy' but hell, I’ve learned my lessons now.
Mabait si John LX. He heartedly shared his experiences to me at that early stage. He gave some advice on relationships, living the life as a gay guy and even the repercussions of being one.
Though our communications ceased around 2002 (we lost our home landline), we still get in touch via e-mails and waited every month for his new photo shoots over BPG.
My top favorites from his series would be Jeremy, Lito, fightclub, Rodel (not the Rodel of 'BinatangPinoy') and, of course kewl_bed_hunk.
In short, if you're really looking for Pinoy pics, may it be celebrity or models, BPG lang talaga! Unfortunately, due to Yahoo! Groups' new regulations, may mga ilang groups na bigla na lang nabura sa mapa ng sapot na kalawakan. LOLz My groups included ha!
His group re-formed as 'PPK' or 'Pare-Pa-Kiss.' Very catchy indeed!
John LX is my first & original 'kuya' dito sa internet. We may not talk every so often or exchange naughty text messages like we used to, but I know he's there.
More power to you!

of all your blog entries I find this one the coolest! Have been a member of those EGroups (including yours) when I was younger and in the closet. After reading this, suddenly had the urge to give a big THANK YOU to the human beings behind the lights and shadows that kept me company during those days of confusion. Your EGroups have been a big part of my growing up, my coming out, and kept me company during my years in the U.S., so it was really nice to find out a little about the kind souls responsible for them.
