The Machete factor

i used to like super white tisoy pretty boys (and caucasians) with very feminine features. my psychoanalysis of this was that since i grew up in an all-female household, i found distinctlymasculine guys too scary to be attractive.

those days are over.

the jun-junification of my taste in men started with marlon. ("jun-jun" etymology care of j.) my boyfriend, with his wonderful mocha skin, truly threw the days of the skinny white boy out the window.

that said, meet the newest, cutest jun-jun on the block.

m a r k y c i e l o hails from mt. province, which makes him, yes, proud to be an ig0r0t. (his mom is from butuan or dagupan, i forget which.) he reminds me of rufio from hook (played by dante basco, a pinoy) and can easily be pictured playing crown prince chulalungkorn in the king and i.

he dances well, which is an advantage in local showbiz, although being a provincial contestant, his tagalog is not all that good. but there's time.i watched the auditions of the talent search he's a finalist of, and what immediately caught my eye was his willingness to look like a complete and utter idiot. that was a welcome break from the typical pa-guapo mode of the other male contestants.

when we shot him, though, what really caught my eye was his (fledgling) six-pack. haha! that, and a certain machete (as in gardo versoza) factor. the guys in the office call him mumbaki.

and yes, bata pa siya. i am now officially a chester.

return primetime tv to the jun-juns! vote for my favorite jun-jun and catapult him to stardom!

jun-jun for one, jun-jun for all!
