Another Nomination

I just found out that Hush and Listen has been nominated for the First Ever "The Gay Dude Award for the Best Personal Blog".

So who the hell is Gay Dude?

He is one of the Greatest Gay Blogger of his Time, author of Voyeur Nation and one of the founder of the Must Read Gay Men Rule who passed away a couple of years ago due to cancer.

The Award is a tribute of an avid reader and co author of Gay Men Rule, Steve aka Diamondfistwerny to commemorate the late blogger and his writings.

So if you have time, do check out:

THE GAY MEN RULE

and cast in your votes!!!

To the Organizer, Thank you So Much.

Makinig Ka

Hindi mo ako pag-aari, kung kaya't hindi mo akong kayang diktahan.
Walang may hawak ng aking tinig kundi ako at ako lang
Walang tali ang aking mga kamay, lalo na ang aking kamalayan
Kung kaya't hahayaan ko itong pumayagpag

Hindi mo ako pag-aari, walang sino man
Walang ibang maglalagay ng titik sa aking mga sipi kundi ako lang
Walang taong didighay sa kung anong wika ang aking isasambit
Malaya ako, lalakeng pinagpaguran ang aking kalayaan

Hindi mo ako pag-aari, magpahanggan pa man
Walang maaring makapag-ari ng aking pagkatao
Walang maaring makapagpigil sa kung ano ang aking gusto
Walang sino man ang maaaring maniil sa indayog at ihip ng aking malay

Ang isip mo ang lumikha na maari mong ariin ang iyong kapwa
Sinundan ng lipunan at ng simbahan ang yapak ng iyong daan
Hindi mo ba naiintindihan? Ako ay may kanyang isip at may kamalayan
Hindi mo ako pag-aari, walang sino man.

"Many struggling gays and lesbians will find this blog an inspiration."

- The Bloggy Award

"Hush and Listen is a blog that I've been reading for quite some time now. The author is passionate, deep, and poetic. I love poetry, so I'm drawn to his lugubrious yet beautiful prose. His written imagery juxtaposed with intriguing visuals captivate me.

- Tiggah's Life in Random

"...nicely written, nicely designed blog with lots of fantastic pictures which provoke your mind."

- 1 Body 2 Souls

"...What makes hush and listen so different is the level to which Khalel, the author, appears to take his passion for writing into something far greater. His words are terribly striking and any gay man is sure to be able to relate to at least one but more likely many of his pieces which he faithfully posts. This is a definite must-read for any gay man or for any poetic soul for that matter..."

- Pinoy Gay Blog

"...HUSH AND LISTEN is a very unique blog. The creator and author uses his creative mind and imaginative skills to write some very deep essays, poems, and words to read. His talented imagery and photos that he uses not only excite my imagination, but takes it to a whole new level when I add his words into the picture..."

-Glenn Velasco aka Fiery Phoenix

"The poetry is so full of yearning, it begs you to reach out and touch the screen. I kept feeling like I was being privvy to a level of pride and pain and confusion and joy that I had no business being privvy to. I've never felt like that reading a blog. The pictures only add a visual, sometimes a flash of color to shock you and sometimes they blend into the words delicately, making you look, making you face....them. I was impressed..."
