RENÉ EDISON ORDOÑA

AH!

I am super excited.

I don’t know I announced it here on Tumblr, but my sister and I have bought our tickets to visit Germany next year! I am so happy! I mean we were just in Germany this past February, but we are going again next February for our mothers 50th birthday!

Like I am seriously so happy! Even thought it hasn’t even been a year since I have seen my mom, it feels like it has been an eternity! But definitely nothing compared to the 13 years that it took us to visit her after we moved back to the States.

We have under 130 days left until our departure for Germany. What excites me more is that we will be staying there for 3 weeks instead!! 😄 

AAAH

Hello there Tumblr People,

It’s been awhile since I have come to Tumblr to actually post something. Nowadays I am just coming to this site to look at stuff and like them. So I thought today I should come back and give everyone a life update. But to be honest, I don’t even think anyone takes the time to read this text posts. Hahaha. I miss the glory days of Tumblr, when people actually posted quality stuff to Tumblr. Now it’s just porn, alcohol, memes… It’s rare now that I see something of true value on this site.

But anywho, that’s besides the point of why I am posting!

I think the last time I posted was back in June, now we are mid way through September! I can’t believe we are already 3/4 done with the year! This year has been going so fast, but also seemed so long. This past February, my sister and I visited my mother in Germany. Today, it feels like it’s been aaaaaages since I seen my mom, but its only been 7months. At the same time the year is going quickly! 

I am glad to say though, this year has been going great. There hasn’t been really anything bad that has happened this year. Work is going great, family is doing great, I am about to hit my 6months with Alfrie. It’s been amazing with him. He makes me happy. He truly does. We’ve been together for over a year now, but officially it’s only be 6months. We met each other over the Gay App, Jack’d. I never really thought I would find someone through that app… and here I am with my love. 😄 He totally embarrasses me in public, especially around my family, friends, and coworkers! Which is totally unacceptable, but I love him. I remember when I first messaged him… I didn’t think he would even reply back, and when he did, he wouldn’t give me his phone number at first. He had this rule. I am glad I was able to fulfill that rule and get his number. I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for us!

I sincerely hope that everyone’s lives are doing great!! 😄 

I think I will end my post here for now. Just wanted to let everyone know that I am doing good! 😄

You know, generally I don’t ever expect for the owner of a restaurant to ever come to my table and greet me. The only people I expect would be the waiter, that’s about it.

Yesterday, my boyfriend and I went to Disneyland, and on our way there, we saw this German Restaurant. We decided to stop there for an early dinner. It was a cute little restaurant. But first thing you noticed as you are being seated… everyone was white. Now, just for those that might have forgotten… I am half white and half asian. And as you already know, I look more asian… Anyway, here we were, two asian men, in a restaurant full of white guests… The fact that everyone was white didn’t bother us. I mean, we did go there for the food.

Everything seemed normal, the waiter came to our table to take our orders, then brought us our drinks and bread before our meal. Very normal right? Anywho, as time when on, we saw this nice old lady. We then noticed how she was greeting two tables and we realized she was the owner. I was very impressed… I mean, you don’t see the owners greeting the guests that often. She was so nice, thanking the guest for coming to the restaurant and all. I was honestly pretty excited, and was waiting for her to greet our table. I know it’s a silly thing to be excited about. But if you don’t know… I have been in the states for 13 years now. I moved back from Germany in 2005. I can’t honestly think of any time I went to a German Restaurant.

So, as I waited, I was thinking about a few things I could possibly tell her… Ya know… I mean I was a bit excited…

But she never came to our table. At that time, I was thinking... “Hmm, she must be busy doing work stuff.” Time went on, and we continued to eat our food. The lady passed by our table a few times, only gave me eye contact once, but no hello. More time went on, and you could hear her talking to tables and all. New guests arrived, white guests… I might add… and guess what happened… She went over and greeted them too. You could over hear them talking about German stuff. Yet she never came to our table.

We then realized why she wasn’t coming to our table.

We were asian.

We weren’t white.

That’s the only difference between us and the other guests. There were families, couples, etc… but everyone was white.

Who knows… maybe we are over thinking this… But honestly, what else could it be?

Why did everyone get the warm greetings, and we didn’t even get a hello?

We didn’t even get a goodbye. I purposely exited the restaurant slow, so she can see us from the front desk… But we didn’t get a goodbye.

… what is going on?

I really wish there was a way to get into Trump’s head.

The guy we call The President of the United States is literally praising Kim Jong Un… He is praising a dictator. Trump says that he trusts a dictator. After barely meeting just a couple days ago, he says that he trusts him. What? How can you trust someone that quickly? You have to build a relationship. Yet he is ruining the relationships that we have with many of our Allies.

He is in awe of Kim Jong Un, because anything he says goes. Trump wants the country to look up to him as North Korea looks up to Kim Jong Un. He said in an interview that he wants his people to sit up at an attention when he speaks. I mean later on he said he was “kidding.” But was he really kidding? 

Seriously tho… You think he’s kidding? You can see already, he goes after anyone who disagrees with him. It doesn’t matter if they are a Democrat or a Republican. He will publicly call them weak on twitter, and go off on a rant. He can’t deal with people disagreeing with him. So I do not think he was kidding with the “sit up at an attention” comment. He wants everyone to agree with him, no matter what.

Honestly… For the sake of this country, I hope positive things will come out of the North Korean Summit between Trump and Kim.

It’s so hard to have any kind of faith in this president.

I don’t even know if I can believe anything he said about the Summit to be true. He literally pulled a lie out of his ass and told the world how the Parents of the Soldiers in the Korean War, spoke to him, e-mailed him, and tweeted at him, asking for the remains. 

It’s so hard to have any kind of faith in this president. I mean he literally pulled an unbelievable lie out of his ass by saying the parents of the soldiers that fought in the Korean War personally asked him to get their children’s remains back. Seriously? The average man who fought in the Korean War would be in his mid to late 90s. Now lets assume the average soldier is 95 years old today, and their parents were 18-25 years old when they had their child. You are looking at 113-120 year old parents… who have gone to the Trump Rallies to speak to him, e-mail him, and even tweet at him to bring back their children’s remains. He said there are thousands and thousands of parents. So I would love to see those thousands and thousands of 110+ year olds. After he said that… it’s hard to believe what he says about the Summit to be true… it’s so hard to believe it…. AH!

I am sorry for this rant… I just can’t stand this man

Like I said before. I sincerely hope, that the summit between the US & North Korea will bring nothing but goodness, and I hope for the sake of this country. 

You know, it is pretty sad that even in 2018, same sex couples still struggle to hold hands in public.

Many people think that gay issues are a thing of the past, when in reality it isn’t. Many people of the LGBTQ+ Community still experience so much hatred.

Every time I hold my boyfriend’s hand in public, I am CONSTANTLY thinking of what other people will think of us holding hands. Now of course, I have to say, I couldn’t care less about what people think of me. Sadly though, you have to care what people think, because you don’t know how they will react. Name calling is one thing, but when you might be physically attacked, that is something much more severe. As a gay couple we are constantly vigilant of our surroundings when we are holding hands or giving each other a small kiss on the cheek. While straight couple are able to hold hands and kiss without a worry, same sex couples don’t have that luxury.

On Sunday, a gay couple from Denver were attacked as they were walking home holding hands.

In 2018, we still aren’t safe.

It’s fucking scary.

It sucks so much that you have to be so cautious when you want to show even the slightest affection towards your significant other in public. It’s not even the over the top, full on make out… It’s just simple holding hands.

"It’s way deeper than just the physical damage. Of course we’re relieved this guy is caught or whatever, but there’s still that fright, I guess you could say to who else is out there like that?" - Gabriel Roman

I wish I live in a world, where I can hold my boyfriends hand without worry. Basically, I would like to hold his hand without even thinking about it. I want it to happen naturally, without thought and worry.
