Binibining Philippines 2022 National Costume Contest-Oriental Mindoro
This Tikbalang national costume is fashioned with intertwined branches of the Balete tree that forms the horse head and butterfly sleeves, and hugs the body down to its hooves to conceal the creature’s looming presence. Sheets of translucent, ghostly-white fabric are decoratively draped as its beguiling mane and tail that dance with the wind as it lurks in the shadows. The body is adorned in lace, with white pearls and rhinestones flickering like diamonds that will captivate anyone who may glimpse at this elusive mythical creature.
She had to walk on hoof-stilts and the horse eyes glow red.

What movie should I watch-?
The body snatcher with boris karloff and Bela lugosi.
Oh my God, that's two people that should ALWAYS be together in movies.
Sudden fear! With Joan Crawford, amazing actress, pretty too.
When a stranger calls. Which I know you've seen before hailey but watch it again.
Parents, serial mom, mothers Day, or American Gothic if you're looking for more comedic psycho/Robert bloch type stuff
Donnie darko is still an amazing movie no matter how many times you watch it.
Since I know you like analog horror I'd like to present 'something scary' by sapphire sandalo. I have seen it yet but it's been on my watch list for a while and it looks horrifying.
Shivers also looks good.
Mother, may I? Is a very relationship turned oedipus movie, as it seems...very norman-esque...
I've heard AMAZING stuff about the taking of Deborah Logan.
And I present to you...'the raven' with Vincent price, amazing film.

I'm finally caught up with Hi Nay and I love it soooo much, but now I need mooore 😭Do you have any recommendations for other BIPOC horror podcasts?
Thank you so much!
Our new episode is coming this Sunday, so hope you enjoy that, but in the meantime...
I unfortunately don't get much time to listen to other podcasts much at all, but some wonderful audio drama fans have been kind enough to suggest BIPOC led titles on this post!
Though not an audio drama, I must shout out my favourite Filipina short horror story teller, Sapphire Sandalo (Stories With Sapphire), who was once part of the Snarled Youtube channel before doing her own work in the Youtube animation and audio space.
Anyone who could suggest titles with a similar vibe to Hi Nay also led by or with prominent BIPOC creators or characters, please do!

The poem translate -
The babayng way bilbil is like a kimba way. It's like there's no way to bend down, there's no way to fall. In a whisper, find out why the ocean is dirty, Why are the stones in the sink so rough? A woman's way of thinking is like a way of bamboo. It seems that there is no way to cut, and there is no way to move. There is a mystery in the bilbil that is similar to the mystery in the forest: Fairy in the navel at the waterfall, minu in the heart on the bank. The wayward woman is like a curvy road, It's like a hill without a climb, a church without a bell. The bilbilon woman is like a fairy tale full of metaphors: In the endless whisper, my prayers will be filled
∘₊✧{Ang Babayng Way Bilbil} - Adonis Durado∘₊✧ and the Perfectionism of a Woman's Imperfections
"Ang babayng way bilbil kay morag baybay nga way kimba.
Morag sigay nga way bukobuko, tabugok nga way ata.
Sa bilbil mahibaw-an nganong bawron ang kadagatan,
Nganong gansang-gansangon ang mga batu sa hunasan.
Ang babayng way bilbil kay morag kawayang way buku.
Morag dapaw nga way katul, langub nga way tangu.
May misteryo ang bilbil nga susama sa misteryo sa lasang:
Engkanto sa pusod sa busay, minu sa pus-on sa pangpang.
Ang babayng way bilbil kay morag dan nga way kurbada,
Morag bungtod nga way subida, simbahan nga way kampana.
Ang babayng bilbilon morag sugilanong puno sa pasumbingay:
Sa gaawas-awas nga bilbil, magbunok ang akong pauraray."

BEAUTY STANDARDS ARE LOW STANDARDS
Most Filipinos admire the following characteristics:
Fair skin - kids are told at a very young age to stay away from the sun because they will get dark and look “ugly.” Hence the rapid incline of bleaching products and whitening supplements.
Long, straight black hair - which may either be natural or rebonded
Tall nose - People like a nose with defined and proper eurocentric features.
Eyes, preferably slanted - the crescent shape eyes or the type of eyes that disappear when you smile is much coveted. That’s what most Filipinos love about Chinitas / tos
Lastly, a slim body type.
In other words, a rather un-Filipino appearance. Some claim that Filipinos never really recovered from their colonial mentality. Others argue that having dark complexion is too frequent in this area or that it is synonymous with poverty. The stereotypical beauty standards of Filipinos is highly unfair and demands too much for natural beauty itself.
A lot of Filipino women get pressured by these beauty standards and they try to appeal to them, disregarding their natural beauty. One of these imperfections are body flabs, or bilbil. The stereotype of a "beautiful" Filipino woman is having a slimmer body. Everyone is born different and with a different body, so why should there be a specific standard of beauty when everyone is so diverse in appearance?
ABOUT THE POEM
Ang Babayng Way Bilbil is a three stanza poem with four lines each. It is a free verse poem with a reflective atmosphere. Its imagery is thick and uses a lot of compare and contrast, or parallelisms.
The first lines in every stanza has the phrase "ang babayng way bilbil" followed by a comparison of another material. These materials have important aspects that display their purpose. He uses these metaphors and similes to deliver the main point of the poem.
EXAMPLES:
baybay nga way kimba
sigay nga way bukobuko
kawayang way buko
dan nga way kurbada
Durado compares a woman without flabs to materials without their aspects, such as a church without a bell or a bamboo without a sturdy stem. On the last two lines of each stanza, he proceeds to tell the significance of these imperfections to our identities.
A REFLECTION
Upon firstly reading the poem, I found it difficult to understand because of the deep Bisaya. I had to reread it a few times to get the general idea, and ask my parents to decipher the words to pick out the smaller meanings of each line and word.
The poem is a literary piece much needed to be read by those insecure of themselves. It encourages people to embrace their flaws as it is what makes them ultimately unique. People are imperfectly perfect.
Women shouldn't follow what other people say about what makes a woman "beautiful". They shouldn't feel insecure about the strict and toxic beauty standards upheld by society. What they think are "flaws" are exactly what makes them their own person; their own selves. Everyone has their own unique features, and each one is just as beautiful as those societal beauty norms.
This poem captures the importance of validating one's self and accepting and acknowledging the physical flaws of people. It is a poem that must be recognized more, especially this era where the youth is highly concerned with their physical appearance, and just pieces similar to this poem can bring reassurance that their flaws can be beautiful too.
