suburban fashions and the weekend funk
last friday, i texted A if we were gonna see each other over the weekend. no such luck. he's going out with friends and that fever may have traumatized him. lol. anyway, i made plans with willy so, jun jun and willyboy to attend the opening night of Red Lanai over at filinvest alabang.
Red Lanai is owned by Chesa Zimmer and her cute hottie partner mike. chesa and i goes back a loooong way. i used to baby sit her when she was 9years old in that forgotten island called guam. her mom, yolly and i are good friends; one of my few friends in that god forsaken tourist trap of an island. there really is nothing to do in that island except hang out in the beaches (boracay's better) and go scuba diving (which is all not that great). night life is virtually zilch, people are so provincial in their mentality and intelligent conversation and good cultural events are virtually non-existent. but i digress.
anyway, chesa decided to open a bar with mike. last year, i brought the 2 of them to Bed and mike was literally felt up by all the gays.lol. serves him right for being good looking.lol. yolly, the doting mother, did the interiors of red lanai. it is RED. the walls are red. the decor minimal with touches of green flowers. i like the interiors but it could use a little more tszuj. it needs a gay touch! lol.
after the usual kiss kiss, hugging mike and chit chatting with yolly, we settled down for some food and serious drinking. we had several, beers, vodka tonics and 3 rounds of tequilas. but the music was something else. a mixture of dance, house and hiphopd. hiphop! yes hiphop. i can't stand hiphop. i don't know of any gays that likes hiphop. then i began to notice how people were dressed. do suburban guys have any fashion sense?
there were some great looking guys in lousy clothes but a few rare good looking guys in tight fitting shirts and acceptable jeans. and there were guys in flipflops who can't carry flipflops. but the worse sight i've seen are guys still in the hiphop era wearing, YES, hiphop fashions. i even saw a guy wearing loose cut off jeans with a t-shirt, necklace up to his chest and a sweater on a hot summer night! of course i had to make a comment "i didn't know hiphop was still alive in alabang".
chesa introduces me to her boy friend. ever the protective uncle, i warned him if he broke her heart, i'm gonna break his face. the only thing going for him is his haircut. we've got the same haircut.lol. he's gotta work on his fashion sense though. looks like he likes to wear plaids.
after red lanai, we headed off to Bed. everyone was out that night. eric, jason, mickey, dafy, levi, junie, ramil, jay etc were all in Bed. we got down to serious drinking and flirting. i don't exactly remember what happened after. all i know is that i don't know what time i got home. lol. i woke up with a headache. and an intense longing for A. I miss him you know.
saturday night was quiet. i had dinner with the same friends at ang hang then called it a night. i do miss A, terribly. I did wish he was beside me.
i called thad to get caught up with things. he's coming home on the june 23, the day i leave for kinabalu with mench and melody. i'm gonna pick him up at the airport at 5am and we'll drive down to clark to catch my flight. i was kinda pisssed off at him for not coming back on the 18th but he wants to spend a little more time with his family in new york. i do miss him though. terribly.
now comes a question that i'm dreading to face. thad's coming home on the 23rd. that means my days with A is fast dwindling. should A and i spend more time together then cut it off when thad arrives or should he or i start keeping our distance to "wean" us away from each other? i don't know how to answer this. i'll agree to whatever A decides.
