Please do not be judgmental towards this article. From the title I can see eyebrows being raised and eyeballs rolling to the back of heads. Give me a chance to be mushy sometimes for I have been super-negative these past few months.

As I mentioned from my previous post that I have been out of the office (thank God!) to rest and unwind (as if I was really able to). I've met with my friends that I haven't seen since dinosaurs walk the face of the earth.

We did nothing but drink, be merry and be gay as ever. In the morning, I would sleep, snore and do whatever it takes so that the sun would not touch my skin. At night, I would wake up, wait for my friends to fetch me and another night of alcohol and partying.

After the nightlife and chasing our sober selves, we would just drive around Subic.

One night was different, because suddenly we shifted on our "senti" gears and started being melodramatic. I dunno if it is because of Gary V's music, which is playing on Boboy's car sounds:

Puso ko'y . . . .

Narito . . . . . .

Naghihintay . . . . . .

Sa pag-ibig mo . . . . . .

Ikaw . . . lamang . . . .

Ang inaasam . . . . . .

Tanggapin mo . . . . . . .

Ang puso ko . . . . . .

Narito . . . . .

Hanggang . . . .

Matapos ang kailanman . . . .

Well, it is pretty obvious that the four of us (Kirk, KC, Boboy and I) are partnerless . . . . loveless . . . I guess that's why.

With the super romantic ambiance in Subic. It is indeed pretty sad to be there alone.

Haaaaaay.

Anyway, while Gary V was singing his guts out, Boboy suddenly exhausted his angst. It has been a year since he broke up with Yosef, that guy that he is claiming to be the "this is it".

"Bakit ba may mga times na hindi talaga pwedeng maging kayo maski gusto 'nyo naman ang isa't isa?", Boboy blurted out.

I told Boboy that I really do not believe in that case. For me, if two people genuinely like each other. Why not? No matter what. If not forever, maybe perhaps for a long time, they should end up together

Boboy told me his most recent love story:

Boboy's family is from Olongapo. He studied Dent in CEU.

He had this long time crush with a guy, who's taking up nursing.

Boboy when travelling from Olongapo always takes the bus bound to Pasay because he lives in Cubao.

One time, he was really in a hurry to go to Manila and doesn't have the time to wait for the next bus bound to Pasay. The only bus that was about to go was the one to Espanya, so he had no choice. He got on the bus.

While choosing a seat, Boboy felt uneasiness and his heart skipped a beat. He was there, the long time crush, the Nursing student from CEU . . . . he was there in the bus that Boboy thought twice to take. But he was there. So, he definitely made the right decision.

Boboy being the demure type, took the seat infront of the guy, only to regret later that he would not be able to steal a glance because he would had to turn his head, which would be too obvious.

So, he just prayed for a miracle.

1 message received . . . . .

He needed to reply to this one, an important one.

Check Operator Services

In the bus stop, Boboy was looking at the guy. The guy was looking at Boboy.

Blush moments.

Boboy took the initiative to borrow the guy's phone so that he could text the very important person who made the very important text (which a person in his right mind would not do for the fear of being thought of as a cellphone thief). The guy, let Boboy borrow his phone (which a person in his right mind would also not do for the fear that the cellphone would immediately run, together with the cellphone thief).

Thanks yous and you're welcomes.

Another blush moment.

Back on the bus. The guy invited Boboy to take the seat beside him.

Boboy, why not?

Another blush moment.

Followed by a series of blush moments all the way to Manila.

The guy's name was Yosef.

He was the guy that Boboy was fantasizing all along in CEU, which he learned is also from Olongapo.

They have reached Manila.

Yosef asked for Boboy's number.

Battery Low

Then that awful toot . toot . toot .

Then, the phone went dead.

Yosef still asked for Boboy's number, said that he can memorize it.

After an hour and a half, thanks to iodized salt for a sharper memory, Boboy received the first ever text message from his Dreamboy. Boboy not being the demure type this time, asked Yosef to be his boyfriend.

Yosef: Why not?

Then, the two became "them".

That is how their love story started.

*

One time, Yosef called Boboy.

Yosef: Hey, sunduin mo 'ko sa Chowking. Pauwi na ko ng Gapo.

Then, Boboy scrambled to his car and went to Chowking immediately.

After 1 hour. Boboy called.

Boboy: Nasan ka na baby? Nasa Chowking na ko.

Yosef: Anu ka ba? Naniwala ka naman. Niloloko lang naman kita. Hindi ako makakauwi ng Gapo.

Bad trip moment for Boboy.

Boboy, who looked like that inverted smiley went back to his house without his baby.

He parked his car and in his doorstep was Yosef, carrying a bouquet of flowers.

Blush moment.

*

It was December, Yosef would be celebrating his christmas with his aunts and uncles in Manila.

Boboy would have to spend his Christmas with his family. His father just went home from Thailand.

No chance for the lovers to get together.

One gloomy December morning, Boboy received an LBC package.

He didn't know where it came from.

He opened the package, there was a scented handkerchief and a letter:

"When you feel lonely this December,

just get the hanky and smell it.

This would remind me of you.

I'm just here.

- Yosef"

Boboy smelled the hanky, ooooh. It's the coolwaters.

*

January, back to school.

There were rumors about Yosef and Boboy being together.

Yosef, by the way is still a closet and is not comfty with his sexuality (Uh-oh).

Boboy knew that from the very beginning and took the risk.

Yosef was being nagged by his "barkada".

Boboy didn't know what to do when Yosef told him that he was somewhat falling in love with a GURL!

Boboy said, "Fine! Okay! Have a girlfriend. That would not matter to me. She has something that you could not get from me!"

One day . . . . . .

Around 4:30pm of that day Boboy decided to finally go home. On the way outside the campus, he saw Yosef, but there is a huge crowd on the way out blocking his view. When he finally catch up and a couple of feet away from Yosef . . . . . he saw him, holding hands, with the girl.

Yosef saw him.

Boboy immediately ran outside the campus to the nearest FX terminal.

Yosef chased him but too slow, Boboy was a varsity runner.

He finally got Boboy when Boboy was about to enter the FX.

"Mag-usap tayo," Yosef.

"Wala namang dapat pag-usapan," Boboy said.

Boboy got on the FX. Closed the door.

Tears flowed down from his right eye. (Judy Ann, isdachu?)

*

"I want to have a family someday. Growing up with no parents and no borthers, no real family is hard. I want to have a family, which I can call my own."

Yosef's sentiments to Boboy.

"I know. And I can't give you that family."

Boboy decided to break it up.

"But I love you, I still love you."

"Me too. But we can't go on like this."

That is how their love story ended.

*

Up to this point, I know Boboy still feels the same love he had with Yosef, as if he just broke up with him yesterday.

So, the big question is why?

I told Boboy that they might not really meant for each other, since the guy has not yet faced the worst fear of all: to face the fact that he's gay.

Being optimistic, I told Boboy that that time will come to Yosef - and maybe after that time, they will be together . . . . . . forever.

Actually, I'm not an expert when it comes to relationships and especially, I'm no love doctor.

Most of the time, I am just being rational. I think. But sometimes, there are things, which transcend rationality. Things about love and crap. We would only know what to do, when it happened, but sometimes we wouldn't know the reason why.

Right now, I am making a new love story for myself.

A love story that I can call mine.

But this love story is yet to be written.

An ENTRY for the SAKE of POSTING

I have been out of the blog world for almost a week! Yes! I'm out of the office for almost a week. No office means no blog. Wait? Hey! I am not being paid to blog. But anyway, at least I'm making the most out of my idle time.

I had the chance to go to Subic and reunite with my very special and gay friends that I have last seen since God knows when.

Actually, I'm supposed to have a special plan with a special person last Friday but due to "unforseen" and "inescapable" circumstances, we have to cancel that date. Well, I had the chance to stay two more nights in Subic and help in the production of Slimmers World Bikini Bodies 2005.

I have been in the world of live events for almost four years. At the same time, I have been engrossed in the world of beauty pageants. I dunno but maybe perhaps gays and beauty pageants are considered inseparable. The difference is that, I always work backstage. Jeeez! Let's talk about missing all the fun.

Anyway, most people think that it would be heaven-like to be surrounded by gorgeous guys (or gals), yeah, that was exactly what I thought but when you are already there, in the event itself . . . . knowing that the show is in your hands, it would be very very hard to focus your attention to those lumps and those bumps.

Well, I really do not want to sound harsh here or something but there are certain candidates who appear to be old enough to be my mother or my mother's mother. But, as I think of it, this is a Bikini Contest, even my lola could join the contest as long as she has that killer figure. Hmmmm. The gurl who played "Tutubina" in Marina competed and so as Joan Padilla, Robin's sister. When it comes to the boys, I really do not have anything to say because all of them are exceptionally hot and sexy, well aside from this: You Gooooooo Gurlsssssssssss!

Haha.

Anyway, congratulations to Daryll and Sharmaine for bagging the trophy, both of them represent Subic and they were my bets.

I really do not want to write this, without the pictures but I will immediately post 'em as soon as I have uploaded them.
