Return of the Mordo

The truth is never as important as the way it is perceived.

I Am Not Mike "Fucking" Villar! But He Sure is Getting my Vote!

September 19, 2008

I’ve been using  the monicker "Adam Mordo" since college, long before I started blogging. "Adam Mordo" is a pseudo pseudonym, meaning I’ve never used it to hide my true identity. I mean that’s kinda difficult to do when I use my fricking name in my URL. That however not enough to prevent a confusion that arose a while back, where some people who apparently lacked any common sense, thought that "Adam Mordo" was in fact Mike "Fucking" Villar. In fact, in one anti-Mike Villar site, "Adam Mordo" is listed Mike’s alias. This got me a little peeved of course but that’s all in the past. The matter has been pretty much cleared up. What I’d really like to point out is the fct thaat for as long as I’ve known Mike Villar, and I’ve known him for quite a while, he has never used an alias. A fact that becomes impressive when you consider what he’s written about. And it goes way beyond the hilarious irreverence of the Atrocities of Friendster Series. He unabashedly shares his numerous social faux pas, how he despises and lusts for his shrink in nearly equal measure and conversations with his upposedly miniscule penis. That is in itself enough to earn Mike my vote for the Bloggers’ Choice at this year’s Philippine Blog Awards Fuck, it ought to be enough to earn your vote as well.

But there’s much more to his blog than the chronicle of  "an overweight 26-year-old man who has a menagerie of mental and emotional dysfunctions that range from anxiety to borderline psychosis." (His words, not mine.) What sets his blog apart from exceptional bravery or sheer lack of shame is the incrdible intelligence behind it. Let it not be said that Mike is just another twenty-something blogger whining his way across cyberspace. His articles are always impeccably written and well thought off. Of all the nominees, Mike is arguably the best writer, closely contested only by Bim. Heck, I’ll go ahead and just say it, Mike is one of only a few people who I’ll openly admit to be a better writer than I am. 

The man has a seemingly effortless grasp of humor and has consistently given me a ton of LOLs throughout the years. And then, of course there is the often times shocking sincerity in his posts. As one of the people fortunate enough to actually call him friend,  I can let you in on a little secret, most of what you read on his site is true. I won’t tell you which is creative embelishment. Figure it out for yourelf and trust me, you’ll enjoy his blog more thoroughly. 

I set out to write a post mocking him as only a friend can and would but the more I thought about why Mike deserves to win this, I the more I felt that a serious tone would be better suited to the cause, because quite frankly, there aren’t enough bloggers like Mr. Vilar.

I am hardly alone in my estimation. Here’s what other people have to say about Mike Villar:

About Me

Hi. I'm Peter "The Mordo" Juan, and I have a natural affinity for water. Needless to say, I love the ocean and I'm crazy about the beach! Just give me sand, surf and beautiful weather and I'm happy as a clam.

I'm a frustrated writer, an amateur photographer, a wannabe surfer and washed up fencer. I'm a hard worker, a good friend, a loving husband and a business mogul in training (mwehehehe).

I believe that normalcy is boring but I accept that it is a necessary evil. I believe that friendship is stronger than distance, that fact is stranger than fiction and that imagination is more powerful than knowledge. I believe that happiness is, more than anything else, a choice. And as cheesy as it may sound, I still believe that love conquers all.
