Nagising ang dalaga sa tilaok ng tandang. Dahan dahan siyang bumangon ng matuklasan ang kakaibang sakit ng kaniyang ulo. Nangitim ang ilang bahagi ng kaniyang kayumangging balat, habang ang ilan ay may mga tapal ng dahon. Naubo ng sunod sunod ang dalaga, at huminga ng isang malaking lagok ng hangin ng matuklasang sariwa ang hangin sa kaniyang paligid. Hinagap pa niya mula sa kaniyang ala-ala ang naganap sa nakaraan. Ang salu-salo sa ilalim ng mansiyon. Ang rehas ng bakal. Ang naamoy niyang usok. Si Camilo de Guzman na walang saplot pang-ibaba. Ang nasusunog na mansiyon. Si Ophelia. Napatayo mula sa kaniyang hinihigaan si Sining ng maalala ang kaniyang amo. Sabay naman nito ang pagbukas ng pinto sa silid. Nandoon si Lucas, may dalang palangganang may tubig at basahan.

Sobre Rojo (Episode 4): Ang Pagkatok ni Ophelia

Standard

This is an adaptation of Sarah Waters’ Fingersmith.

Here is the promised update. I’m so sorry that the gap between this episode and the last was long. 

The episodes are compiled in the Shows tab.

Ilang minutong pinanood ni Sining ang banayad na paggalaw ng mga balikat ng kaniyang amo habang kinukulayan nito ang mga puwang sa kaniyang larawan. Tumila na ang ingay ng sigawan ng mga tao sa palengke sa labas, at ang kulay kahel na sinag nang palubog na araw ay kumumot sa binarnisang tabla ng kahoy na sahig. Hinimas ni Sining ang kaniyang palda sa kawalang magawa at naramdaman niya ang matulis na sulok ng isang sobre na nasa kaniyang bulsa.

Inilabas ni Sining ang sobre na kulay pula; ang liham ni Camilo para kay Ophelia.

Again, I apologize that this update was delayed. I also realized that it’s more feasible for me to air the episodes on Sundays so Sundays it is. I hope you enjoy this episode and please don’t forget to leave your comments and other violent reactions.

Sobre Rojo (Episode 1): Ang Balita ni Tiya Olga

Standard

Disclaimer: I apologize for any mistakes regarding the history. I will try my best to remember my History of the Philippines classes and be accurate.  I’m writing this story with the thought that my twelve-year old self would delight at finding something like this on the internet. Having said that, I write what I want to read. I hope you would love to read this story as well. Admittedly, there are not much lesbian-themed stories written in Filipino, at least from my internet searches. I offer this so that the search for such stories would not be as frustrating as before, especially for young Filipina lesbians and bisexuals, or those just starting to discover themselves.

I apologize for the grammatical errors as well. I have a particular difficulty with ‘ng’ and ‘nang’ , I promise to improve in time. I hope you enjoy the story and I would love to read your comments.

Again, this is an adaptation of Sarah Waters’ Fingersmith.

The episodes would be compiled in the Shows tab.

DVDs In My Closet

Standard

by Geraldine Touer

Remember the days when the word torrent used to refer to flood water? How about the time pirated dvd vendors where so important to our lives that the band Sandwich just had to do a tribute song? Two years ago, before I learned about seeding and leeching movies, (entire TV show seasons even!), all hope I had of ever watching a lesbian flick in full was if some blessed being uploads the entire thing on Youtube. After buffering all ten parts (if the site has not yet taken down the account of the uploader), I had to redo the process if I wanted to watch the movie again. Two years ago, being a flaming homosexual movie buff was a painstaking task. That was why, what few DVDs I have, I find hard to let go.

Coming Soon on T-Bird: Sobre Rojo

Standard

What is career? I even made a poster with my non-existent Photoshop skills. It’s during times like this that I wish I paid attention to my computer classes in high school. I just found the images of the two girls via google search, so I hope no one sues me.
