Today-years-old kami nang nalaman naming meron palang International Men's Day (Nov 19) celebration, mga Bes?

Pwes, i-celebrate natin ang mga kalalakihan sa buhay natin na kailangang ipagdiwang.

Pero, hmmm, may mga kuro-kuro kami about this day. And yes, we have questions!

Eto na ba ang start ng aming Oprah era, mga Bes?

We quickiki about gratitude on this project and how it differs from simple thankfulness.

Research has shown that gratitude can do wonders to our health gaya ng  lowering blood pressure, strengthening the immune system,  dulling body aches and pains, and maybe - it even puts a smile on our faces which alone accounts for 30% of the criteria for judging! Kaya kung feeling mo dehado ka sa swimsuit competition, baka naman "grahdeechood" na ang solusyon, Bes!

So take advantage of this special offer on our show kung saan may project na walang explicit content! Click play na, Bes dahil bihira pa sa murang sibuyas itech!

Season's greetings! And by that we mean our Season 2!

We're still at it, doing what we've been doing! And we've decided to continue - thanks to your patronage and support, mga Bessies!

Sa project na ito, nag-balik-tanaw lamang kami sa aming (very) humble beginnings, what's changed in our lives, and what has not and will never change (gaya ng aming advocacies about normalizing difficult conversations). Binalikan din namin ang aming mga most memorable and most forgettable moments sa aming first season of the project!

Come through, Season 2!

Season 2 on The Project is upon us!

Kaya naman may pa-full circle moment kami na gaya nung Season 1, our well-loved and one of our country's most passionate past times - beauty pageants - ang ating initial offering after our pilot! Walang iba kundi ang nanatiling premiere pageant of the Philippines: ang Bb. Pilipinas 2022!

Of course, nagbabalik ang resident beauty pageant pundit natin sa podcast na si CJ ng Korona Filipina pageant page upang magbigay ng expert analysis at haka-haka sa contest na ginanap August 2022. Sinamahan din tayo sa ating nadadalas na suki from the prestigious TheQrownPhilippines na si Ms. Alexa Villano para lalong maging exciting ang ating kiki!

Shempre, hindi natin pinalagpas ang kontrobersyal na eksena kung saan naganap ang longest 'dead-air moment' ever heard in the history of Philippine pageantry. Anong kaguluhan ito? At  dahil personal na nakadaupang palad ng ating experts ang mga girls sa pageant, sagana sa inside information ang ating kiki.

Season 2 na eh kaya more seasonings ang timpla ng ating project na 'to! Bakla ka kaya hindi mo dapat ito palagpasin!

How far have we come when it comes to being allowed to love whom we love, and to tell them we love them? Here are 3 moving love letters written by real-life queer personalities from the very distant past.
(1872)  The first is a letter written by a 24-year old Bram Stoker (Dracula) to his literary idol Walt Whitman (Leaves of Grass). The letter remained unsent for four years. Finally, on Valentine’s Day of 1876, Stoker mustered enough courage to send said letter to the older Whitman.
(12th Century)  The second is a hauntingly beautiful love letter written by one medieval 12th Century nun to another. This was initially published in the second edition of “Medieval Latin and the Rise of the European Love-Lyric,” compiled by Peter Dronke, 1968.  
(1896) The last selection contains excerpts from the letter "De Profundis" which Oscar Wilde wrote to his young lover, Bosie (Lord Alfred Douglas) from prison. This fell into the hands of a pimp and was used by Bosie’s father to blackmail Wilde. It eventually contributed to Wilde’s conviction on charges of "gross indecency" and two years' imprisonment.

The Balut Kiki Project turned one year old last May and so we let other people take over the podcast!

Choi and Nate of PODSURFING Podcast take over the Project and kiki about dealing with workplace burnout! Meron nga bang resignation season kung saan feel na ng lahat pindutin ang send button sa nakabitin na resignation email addressed to our bosses? With 20 years of corporate work experience between them, our marés from this TheBunkPH original podcast give really sound advice tungkol sa mga dapat pag-muni-munihan bago mag-resign, or how to achieve that ever-elusive "work-life balance".

Itong episode na ito na ba ang hinihintay mo - to resign or not to resign? This might be the sign! 

Bessies, thank you for keeping us company this past year!

Christine Abrigana, Asia Podcast Festival-nominated fabulous host of Lagim: A Filipino True Crime Podcast and Asia In The Shadows, takes over the Project to help cast some light on the long -regarded 'invisible' sexual orientation: ASEXUALITY.

Jesh Alberto (Philippines), who identifies as a non-binary, homoromantic asexual and a member of the FB group Asexual Support PH , joins Christine on this episode to help demystify this often misunderstood and under-discussed orientation in our wonderfully diverse community.

 Alam nyo ba that the A in LGBTQIA2+ stands for asexual, aromantic, agender?

Maraming salamat sa ating Curious Ally for this highly informative take-over! Isang tagay ng mimosa for Bes Christine! Cheers!

At sa inyo mga Bessies, thank you for keeping us company this past year!
