i’m under contract to include denyce in every post about brandon from now on

it’s my favorite boy’s birthday!! thank you for being you. i have never known a love so kind, faithful, and filled with laughter. you remember everything people tell you, fulfill every promise, and exceed my expectations with the depth of your heart. you are witty, adorable, and so loved by everyone around you. because of this, i move through the world with a soft hand. i used to be so anxious about connecting with others, until the universe bestowed the honor of learning from your example. with you here, each day is light. more than a partner, you’re my best friend (besides denyce). i love you!!!

“From the local to international level, pageants aren’t always just glitz and glamour. They can be a ferocious and untamed cultural storm. The ‘set’ represents every truth we want to share, spilling onto the stage and swallowing everything inside. It’s joy, rage, laughter, and loss – shattered and created anew through performance.” read the full feature on the Polyester site ♡ 📝 words by me @almostgoldd 🎨 graphic by @filipinanepobaby photographers 📸 @rayjmon : lianah’s crowning @lucasalexanderali : ligaya’s set + crowning featured quotes 💬 @ligaya.mahal.astas , ms. phl 2024 @jeffrey.pelayo , mr. phl 2019 @chrisflo__ , former ms. phl organizer + host @lianah , ms. phl 2022 i’ve been writing sooo many mushy gushy captions lately, but here’s another one ☝🏼🤓 this FAHM and Miss Universe season, i had the very special opportunity to write this piece for @polyesterzine 💛 it’s a love letter to @msphilippines2025 , @mr_philippines , and everyone in @finddistrictthree / @findinc who has had a role in putting Fil Am student orgs on the map. i feel like i say this ALLL the time, but this has to be my favorite piece yet. ❤️‍🔥 the sheer creativity, talent, and devotion it takes to execute something as huge as a pageant is not to be underestimated, and the experience of participating in one is unmatched. thank you to Ligaya, Jeffrey, Lianah, and Chris for sharing your stories with me! words cannot describe how proud i am to share a community with you. capturing even just a fraction of your work in this piece is such an honor. ☀️ i also want to shout out @mxpageant and @asu.mxasia — you are evidence that when one community inspires another, everyone wins!! all of these pageants are a reminder that we do not demand space, we CREATE it. 🇵🇭🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ “In order to be free or to achieve liberation, we have to go into any fight knowing that we will win.” – the one and only @lianah p.s. none of the interviewees asked me to repeat my questions. WHEW! 🙏🏼 (iykyk)
