Independence 'Day
After a weeks' worth of hell at work, i needed a break. And the Independence Day Long weekend was the perfect time for me to unwind with some friends, younger cousins and my soulmate cousin Ate Kathy who was back from Iloilo, in Manila, but on her way to the States. After weeks of chaos, everything was falling into place. The timing was perfect. The company was timely. And the week end was long.
This long weekend is quite symbolic , really. It meant two things.
1) Independence Day weekend meant that the campaign we've been slaving over for months is finally gonna be launched and we can finally break the bonds that have kept us chained to our desks.
2) It's the opening of the world cup, and 'tis truly is the season to be jolly for this is the time when all the soccer boys come out and play. Yes, i am a sucker for soccer players.

Il Ponticello, Wold Cup Opening
My friend Miguel's post-birthday drinking binge and lots of soccer players.
"I must have died and gone to heaven." I thought as i sat there at one of the tables in Ponti staring at the hordes of soccer hunks mingling and walking around the bar. Forget the giant video wall with Beckham's faced flashed on the screen. These are real, physically-present soccer boys with washboard abs and buns of steel. Alas! I couldn't really mingle that much, except with the friends i were with. Less these hunks of men realize that their's a fairy in their midst. I'm not really keen on the idea of getting kicked out of the bar like a soccer ball. So i keep myself from staring too much. Shit! I need blinders. Me and my straight-guy fantasies. Just when i thjought i was finally free from this delusion, these soccer boys come marching in. Shyet. I hate this. You see someone that possesses everything you want in a guy but you can't have him. Where's justice?!! Where's freedom?!! Kung hindi siya, sino? Kung hindi ngayon, kailan pa?!!! I need another Vodka...

Tagatay, overnight at Nicole's boyfriend Adie's place along with his friend Earnest,
and my cousins Ate Kathy, Patrick, Trina and Clarisse.
Bring on the Vodka, plug in the iPOD, set up the Cranium,
light me some yosi and off we go to funville.

Back from Tagaytay, and in my pad in Makati. The PPOrg. Kumare Club is having an Independence Day mixer. I wonder what we're celebrating. Whatever it is, i miss the gang. Haven't seen them in a while. But too tired from driving, i i find myelf falling aslpeey while my friends share the problematic part of their current love life - -what a friend. Plus i still have a monster hangover from last night. Shyet. They say the best way to cure a hangover is to have another drink, hmmmm i guess now's the time to find out if that's true.

No hangover this time. After brunch with the girls, off they went to do their own errands. Since it was a holiday, i decided to do some shopping and to watch "Manay Po". Cute movie. Brainless and mediocre, but cute. Bought myself a new pair of headphones - -Princess Leah style and went to MCS to replenish my stock of DVDs. Bought D' Lucky Ones, Aquamarine, The HIlls Have Eyes, and this Gay Independent Flick Hard Pill. D'Lucky Ones was hilarious, Aquamarine was your typical girly movie, and The Hills Have Eyes was brutal. Hard Pill, was a hard Pill to swallow - -for me that is.
The film is about a gay guy who's in love with a straight friend who is so accomodating, he let's his gay friend suck his dick once in a while. Anyway, he's so in love but he's tired of playing second fiddle to the guy's GF. He's sad, lonely, depress, (hmmm, why can i relate to this film?) so he decides to join this experimental project that has invented pills to cure gayness. Wanting out, to live a more ordinary, and less complicated life he allows himself to be a test subject. He gets a GF, cuts himself off from his old friends and lives the life he wants. Or so it seems. I won't spoil the film for you, so i'll stop here. Get it from MCS, it's worth the purchase.
What struck me about the film was that HE HAS A STRAIGHT FRIEND WHO ALLOWS HIM TO SUCK HIS DICK!!!! (Of course aside from the issue of curing homosexuality as if it's a disease, but that's a given.)Again i ask, where is justice in this world? I was in love with a straight friend for years! Dinaig ko si Zang Ziyi sa Memoirs of a Geisah sa pagsisilbi sa kanya. Inuna ko siya sa lahat, pati sa pagtulog ko laman siya ng aking isipian tapos Ni HA NI Ho wa ako nahita!! Ni holding hands, ni ingrone niya di ko nahawakan. Award! Just when i thought i was free, i find myself bound and gagged by these feelings again. And what is it today? Ha!! The irony, the IRONY!!! Then i told myself, "JC give it up. Sayang ang 15K na binayad mo para mag Landmark forum. You're having a racket!" So may i eject Hard PIll sa DVD player, pinasok ko ang D' Lucky Ones ulit. Sabay select ng Video na "Ang Ganda Ko" na na sa Special Features. At nagsayaw na lang ako, with matching choreography. Paki ko kung mukha akong tanga, at nag-iisa? Feel good naman 'yung song.. Makapag Vodka nga ulit...
