From Chaster to Sebster: Charice to Sebastian Castro

Back in 2006 when  I first heard about Charice Pempengco in Little Big Star, I knew that the girl with a big voice would make it big. And yes it happened, with the help of social media. I think the same would happen with Sebastian Castro who made social media as his platform for fame.


I am an advocate of social media. Although I am deeply closeted, I know the right talent that is worth promoting. I knew Adele would be a big star in 2011 with Rolling in the Deep. But 3 years before her big fame, her Chasing Pavements became my favorite.

Gotye shot to fame with the help of social media and I think the rendition of other artists of Gotye's "Somebody I used to know" on YouTube helped propel the success of the Australian male artist.

These people I know are big in show business with the exception of Sebastian Castro who has still started to shine.


Shine bright like a diamond, but Sebastian chose the "Bubble". I pray though that Sebastian Castro's career wouldn't be like a bubble. But I am certain that is not going to be. Why? I feel the guy's edgy charisma and the free-flow attitude. He is laid-back and honest and very bold.

There's no male artist yet whose anchor in show business is in the Philippines with a music video that is provocative. Noting that most of the time, Sebastian is in underwear, singing and dancing, not minding the obvious bulge.

And yes, he is brave enough to come out from the closet. Glad that he is in social media for he knows that he has a growing fan base of mostly gays and bisexuals.

Will Sebastian Castro make it big?

Although I would say only time will tell, it is not the case as most often think it is. It requires hard work, dedication, and a growing fan base to make it at the top. 

Lady Gaga has made it big with the help of LGBT community. Gaga who is bisexual can make it big, why not Sebastian Castro?

The should-be gay bars in Cebu

Gay bars in Cebu are known to be mostly strip clubs with young men called go-go boys dancing provocatively to win the hearts of their audience.  Macho dancer is a more popular term for a go-go boy in the Philippines. They are mostly young with muscular or toned bodies and attractive. The handsome lads of the crop of macho dancers get the most wow from the audience while those who manage to impress have the bodies or the "asset". But there is irony in having these strip clubs known as gay bars in the Philippines, especially in Cebu. A gay bar should be a hangout place for gays, not for supposedly gay yet straight dancers who cater to gay and women clientele for a night or a "short-time". It is mostly seen as a male-whore club than a place for hook-ups.  With the relabeling of gay bars in Cebu into male entertainment clubs, the public would now have an idea what kind of club they want to go for hook-ups. Because really, desperate old gay men go to gay bar

Looking Back 2017 and Striving for More Willpower this 2018

Image
The past year 2017 was an interesting one. Personally, I went through a roller coaster of changes, from the business side to the personal preference in music and artists. There were also ups and downs that the last quarter of the year was spent by contemplating on things which I should have done but I was too complacent to do.  The positives on that year include knowing BTS and having to learn about a fandom that has gained traction in the entertainment world. But it is mostly about BTS, a Kpop boyband that has dominated the world through their music and performances. I don't know why I got hooked on them. It was like an epiphany of sorts because suddenly I have become more interested in music that ever before. So, I think I consider it a positive because it helps me to be culturally-adept, music-wise though I am still in the process of learning more. Okay, the positives are more on BTS. But my site also tackles about Boys Love series. I am thankful that during Aug

What the Bangtan Boys (BTS) think about the Philippines

BTS are among the hottest Kpop boy bands in the planet. And the number of fans in the Philippines is also among the highest in the world. To show how popular BTS is in the Philippines, Twitter Philippines has placed the BTS-related hashtag #EpilogueInManila as the 5th most popular hashtag trending in the Philippines for Twitter's 10 years of existence. The hashtag #EpilogueInManila happened in 2016 when BTS held one of the largest concerts at Mall of Asia Arena. To think that the hashtag is more popular during the Papal visit in 2016 proves the potential power of BTS in the Philippines in entertainment stardom. BTS also held the Wings tour in Manila this year at May for two days on May 6-7. Prior to the concert in Mall of Asia, many reported that the Kpop boy group arrived in Manila earlier at May 1 after their concert in Jakarta, days before their MOA Wings concert. The speculation of the early arrival may have something to do with the shooting of BTS Summer Package 20
