Pride 2014

It is Pride month again and Rocky and I decided to show our love to O bar by creating a bunch of "posters" for the upcoming pride event.

Will you join us there this year?

Ingget ang itawag mo sa akin

Clearly some people have heard of the success and fabulous fun of O Bar and hope to cash in and ride with its popularity.


Introducing....

ONE BAR Olongapo which clearly has decided to try and call itself O Bar and even use the tagline Obarians which O Bar's Oh Divas have long used to refer to their patrons and fans.  Oh One Bar.  How sad that you clearly are too afraid to try to make a name for yourselves.  Given you just had a launch, your own status messages and updates clearly show you constantly trying to push the name O Bar to refer to your bar, and yet all your customers ask or post about One bar instead.  

I guess someone in Olongapo is still going through an identity crisis.

But I understand.  O Bar after all has become a prominent fixture in gay Manila whether on how it treats its patrons to how it celebrates Pride.   I don't blame you, One Bar, for wanting to be more like O bar.

So there you go.  More options out there for the Pink Peso.  Just don't confuse it for the real thing.

Now THAT's an EVENT I'd support!

Loving how O Bar has brought back the PRIDE in celebrating Pride Month!
Entrance is free.  Everyone is welcome.

And the event is having on-site HIV Counseling and Testing.

While there are still some concerns, such as some posters don't seem that well-laid out (or too many fonts were used), some grammar concerns (Shouldn't it be "BecauseTrue Love and Pride are for free" instead of is?)  and how some of the text blasts in social media seem to be obsessing over abusing the use of the Exclamation Point (!) I'm over all very happy with how this event has been approached.   A lot more professional and polished and worth being proud of.

Let's celebrate PRIDE!

Know Your Oh Divas! - Part One

My partner and I don't really go out to drink and socialize that much.  Both of us are just not that kind of people.  But when we do, O Bar is pretty much one of the places we do love to dance the night away as we  celebrate our happiness.

There aren't that many places out there that are like O bar.  While most places seem more preoccupied with superficial things, O bar excels in just being a place where you can be yourself and enjoy the fabulous sights and sounds.  No pretensions.  No drama.

Among the many things we love about O bar, we truly, deeply, love the drag shows that highlight every single night.  Rocky decided to show even more appreciation for their talent and creativity by writing up a series of articles to help you get to know the Oh Divas.


Here's the first set of articles:

Til then, lots of love to you all!

Thank you O Bar Malate, for all the lovely memories.

So many years of memories...

  

Once upon a time, I went to join a friend who was celebrating his birthday.
He wasn't having that great a time, given many guests were unable to show up.

So I asked, "Where do you want to go?"

He answered, "O bar."

That was a few years ago.
And I have never regretted going.
Thank you so much for all the memories.

You will party on in our hearts, O bar Malate!

O bar Ortigas shall continue waving the rainbows of joy.
