Hi mga ateng! I'm back from my bonggang vacation in Boracay. I'll make kwento about diyan sa susunod dahil mas importanteng mai-share ko sa inyo ang karanasan ng isa nating shupatemba sa isang bar in The Fort. Very similar sa experience ko last October 4.

Fritziecoi (right most) with her fab friends

Hindi ko alam kung hanggang kailan tuluyang mawawala ang diskriminasyon sa bansang ito, especially sa mga kagaya namin. It is really sad that your fellow countrymen are the ones who put you in shame.

We've been #discriminated last night in a club where my friend was suppose to celebrate her birthday. Ang nakakaloka lang ilang beses na kami nagpupunta doon. Most of the time I wear mini shorts or dress pa nga 'pag pumupunta doon. Yes, there are times na mahaharang ako but after a few minutes of discussing with them, they would let me in. But last night was totally out of line. Last week we also went to that club and I wore a short black dress. They just checked my bag without any question and I went in. I don't really know what was the problem last night. Kung kelan nagsuot ako ng dress na covered legs ko, closed shoes maliban sa naka-sleeveless ako. Well 'yung isa naming friend is naka short dress but willing naman sila ng bestfriend niya which is the birthday celebrant na mag-change outfit para makapasok na kami at para masunod yung "dress code" nga daw nila. 

But then as we go to the entrance, ini-insist talaga ng mga bouncers na hindi daw talaga pwede. My friend handed me her blazer para 'di na nga ko sleeveless. So okay na, balot na balot na ako. Then they checked my bag and ask for my ID. Kaloka! Wala akong dalang ID so sinabi ko wala. Mukha ba akong menor de edad?! Last week wala naman silang hiningi sa akin. So ano ba talaga? Dumating 'yung head nila at sinabing hindi daw pwede. 

KUNG GUSTO KO DAW MAKAPASOK, BURAHIN KO DAW MAKE UP KO! "CROSS DRESSER" DAW KASI AKO. WTF! 

Malinaw na 'di alam ni sir ang difference between a crossdresser and a transgender. I felt so humiliated. To make the long story short, we cancelled our reservation on that club and moved to a more open/accepting and better club. Sobrang nakakasama talaga ng loob. #SorryPRIVE. Ang dami pang club diyan sa The Fort. Kudos to those clubs who don't care about the outfit of their party goers regardless of their sexuality. Anyway, we had a blast last night and we enjoyed it a lot. Thank you so much Anne. Happy Birthday once again. One month celebration daw haha!

This is really sad but I'll tell you my piece. Sa social media, madami akong nakikitang mga beks na pinapapasok sa mga mamahaling club pero dapat may pangalan ka or mukha ka nang babae. 'Yung halos wala ng bahid pagkalalake. Oh de vaahhh?! Even inside our group, may inequality. Kapag ordinaryong ateng ka, follow the rules. Kapag lets say prominente ka, walang ganyan. Go inside! Todong VIP treatment pa.

Thanks to idol Fritziecoi for giving permission in reposting her experience. Mwah!
