WAAAAAHHHH!!!

Yes ladies and gentlemen, Jigs Mayuga now knows I exist. After sending him a message on friendster about a week ago, I finally received a short reply from him. Yes, it may be short, but to me, it means everything.

As soon as I graduate I swear to God I’m gonna work hard to earn money so I’d be able to study at SOFA! Mark my words!

Thank you to all the New Yorkers visiting my site. I love you all.

Zola Dagupan just opened recently and it has been making a huge buzz around the little city of Dagupan and we only have one person to thank, and that is the same guy responsible for putting up Zola Baguio.

For me and Boo’s first monthsary, I took him to Zola to see what the buzz is all about. But not only that, i gave him a new haircut as you can see in the picture, and the fabulous shirt he is wearing as well. It kinda brings out the sophisticated rocker inside of him, don’t you think?

I am telling you people, prepare yourself for a whirlwind around Zola with my infamous “smile”, for sprinkling it all over the place would be a complete understatement.

With Boo being the one in-the-know with all the dishes in Zola, I allowed him to do the ordering for he knows what’s best.

As for me, I guess you know by now what happens next…

Drinks, anyone?

I on the other hand was wearing the white cargo jeans and black top he gave me.

We ordered bolognese and carbonara and an 8″ pizza for dinner and given the time to prepare these kinds of dishes, I’d have to say it was served pretty fast.

I wasn’t ready with my “smile” yet and Boo took the shot already. Hmf!

Spell YUM! Y-U-M!

It was pretty small being a pizza lover, but after binging on the bolognese I had, I left my last slice untouched. I think the pictures alone are enough justification on how much I loved the food.

First the Bolognese. . .

Then the pizza. . .

Okay, okay, I may have overdone this whole trying-to-gain-weight thing

After all that food I was ready to go to the comfort room LOL. I was full to my throat and the iced tea was just enough to quench my thirst.

Or maybe not…

It was pretty fun shouting at each other with so much noise we had to compete with. But as the night went further on, the older people started leaving so we pretty much had a cozy ending to our date. Before we left the fabulous location while Boo was at the comfort room, I used my pizza knife and dabbed it on the saucer with catsup and left a message for him on a tissue paper which read “I (heart) you”. It sure did put a smile on his face.

Happy First Monthsary Boo! I certainly had a great time!

Days had passed but this was the only time I had to blog about me and Huggie’s special day celebrated last July 10, 2008. Better late than never I always say.

———-

So we were supposed to have our make-up class with our instructor, Ms. Inacay, but turns out she had sore eyes. She sent me a text message minutes before I was about to leave the house which was truly a jumping moment for me. I was super amped about the news that I sent Boo an instant message telling him to call me up so I could spill the good news to him. When he called up, he was as excited as I was. Truly, the day was meant to happen happily for the two of us.

So I met up with him where we were to have our Lunch, which was at Jack’s. We love the food there because we get a lot of serving for the price we can afford.

So once again, the serving of the food took quite a while. I was loving Boo’s outfit that I wanted to capture it on camera.

He simply makes the best candid photos which I envy so much.

As boo looked super fab ala Christian Siriano, I looked like the crap ordered from hell. Seriously, I need a wardrobe change!

I look soo bad the picture needed to be captured via Sepia.

So after having the Jack’s rice last time, we decided to order something different.

I orderd the Lechon Kawali (bottom dish) served with fried rice, while Boo had their Sizzling Pork Chop (top dish). I wasn’t able to taste the pork chop so I really couldn’t tell you guys if it’s a winner or a never-try-it dish. As for my Lechon Kawali, I was a bit shocked that I only get 5 slices with the proportion of their rice serving. Though it is fried rice, given that you can eat it on its own, was still a disappointment. Another disappointment was how salty it was. I couldn’t imagine how much soy sauce went into making this dish but I’m guessing it’s enough to give your body a run for its money.

Before we ate, I took one more picture of Boo as he made a joke out of his iced tea.

[eat... eat... and ate some more...]

Since he brought most of his stuff for our little plan for tonight, I had to bring it home first so we could get through the day not carrying the big paper bag known as his things :).

When he received a call from Lyra, a friend of his, saying that she was at Nepo Mall, he wanted me to meet her, so we did.

She asked if we already ate, and though we said yes, she insisted on eating again which I think was very sweet of her. So even if I was uber full with what we had at Jack’s, I fed myself more with some Pancit Palabok and pineapple juice.

That’s Ms. Lyra on the right and fashion guru, boo, on the left ahihi

By this time, I may be smiling but I am bloated!

So we roamed the mall thrice after dining at Jollibee and frankly, it didn’t take us that long to do that.

When Lyra had to go somewhere, I decided to finally give Boo the haircut he needed before we go to Zola. I promised myself that was the place I’d be taking him since I could really tell how much he misses it. But since the day was young, I took him to City Mall to buy him a special something something as my monthsary gift to him.

The night finally arrived and we were starving! We couldn’t say Zola faster!

Zola! Zola! Voila!

We arrived and I’d have to say, it was NOISY! The place was packed with people and I’d have to say, they’re a hit!

…to be continued

Well, today was quite tragic after all my sidebar content were gone and deleted with no resources to get them back. Damn moving of hosting! LOL

Oh well, too much work has to be done so I’ll leave the video to explain the day I had.

*P.S. forgive me for the lack of hair and make up. I look like a drag dragged down to my grave, Augh! It’s just awful. And my teeth — GROSS! I think it’s time to get those braces after all.

I thought this whole Daisy’s Visit series would never end. But sadly, it is ending now.

So let’s get it started.

The night was still young and I had the craziest idea after seeing the fabulous blankets Ayessa brought out. Every gay guy knows what to do when life gives you blankets — you make Greek outfits!

Now I know the outfits we’re intended for girls, but I just know I looked the best!

Ayessa: Girl, there were no faux hawks when the Greeks ruled!

Me: They just didn’t had clay back then. But I’m pretty sure this was a hit.

Daisy: There’s another mosquito about to land, and I’m running out of Off spray.

Laugh. Blank. Wondering.

Right after our Greek pictorial, we headed to bed and decided to call it a day.

The next morning, we woke up to Ayessa’s alarm clock because she had to go to work by 9am. So we prepped up without taking a bath, put on different outfits which gave us our last chance to camwhore as a foursome.

Nothing could be better for a background than a building under construction.

Starting from the left: Great Smile, Sort of Smile, Toooo Much Smile, Good Smile.

The incredible tandem of Daisy, Remcyl, Alain, and Ayessa.

I’m pretty sad that Daisy’s visit finally had to come to an end. I wish there was more time to hangout, but she had other plans which we understand.

I enjoyed every minute she was with us, and I, in behalf of both Alain and Ayessa, are surely going to miss you Daisy!

See you on your next vay-kay!

While me and my mom were cleaning the house, I got a surprise text message from Daisy. The text that she sent informed me that she was back home once again! Of course I was pleasantly surprised as I miss her so much. She is so good at coming home without anyone having a clue which I love because you get that certain smile on your face that won’t go away till you see her personally.

So I replied to her message and immediately set the date for me to get to spend time with her. Apparently, Alain was coming along so I was even more thrilled since I can’t remember the last time me and Alain hanged out. He must be oober fat right now I thought. And right as I always am, he was and is still is (even bigger if I may say so).

And so we met last… when did we meet again? LOL

Anyways, we met (haha) at Malimgas Market for Daisy was shopping for some threads and garters. Alain was there too, flaunting his new phone which he got for his debut (haha) and I immediately thought of camwhoring the entire time.

Daisy looked a lot different with her bangs but deep inside she’s still humble and the same old Daisy.

We headed off to Razon’s for some fine dining. They had the best halo-halo in town and no one could debate about that so I wanted Daisy to have a taste. But of course the main dish comes first.

Daisy had the (was this chicken or pork? I really can’t remember.–Darn memory loss!) shanghai with chicken/pork, while Alain and I had Sisig and shanghai.

We had the place amped up with our voices and laughs. I even caught one of the customers laughing with us as we talked. I always find it funny how other people could laugh at others’ conversations because it’s inevitable. LOL

Here’s a picture of Daisy and Alain at Razon’s Dagupan.

I don’t know if it’s Daisy’s bangs I should look at or her cleavage? Bout you?

Come to think of it, how come I didn’t have any pictures with Daisy at Razon’s? GRRR Alain! GRRR!

The cats were finally out of the bag, our stories were shared but surprisingly, we haven’t even started yet. Ayessa is still not in the picture. So we decided to pay her a visit in Baguio. I was head over heels because for the whole summer vacation I never got the chance to move out of the city and do something worthwhile.

So I packed my tote bag and we were off to Baguio the next morning.

Gotta love the shades. They’re my favorite! If this was ANTM, Tyra’s immediate comment on Daisy would be: “No Neck!”

I can’t seem to remember when the last time was when things flowed smoothly. When picking the right jeans weren’t our job but our mother’s. When choosing between two options were as easy as picking value meals at our favorite fast food restaurant. When making the life changing decisions were made for us as we entrust our future to those who know better.

When did everything happen? Time swept the easy slopes and raked in the rocky bumps and humps of life, and I wasn’t even a witness to its change.

No one really said things were meant to be easy, for in such process, no one could learn the values of life. And yet no one said either that they were going to be hard, this hard.

I wish life in its entirety had labels. White tags for those that are good for us, and black to the ones that are bad. But who am I kidding? That is way too ideal.

Over the years, dealing with situations and people at the same time has been a struggle for me. I may have projected this image that things are at ease, but that really isn’t even half of the story. Everyday is a new day and I have to value the lessons learned from yesterday to be able to handle things more maturely when faced with the obstacle.

Reflection. It’s been so long since I’ve last reflected on my life and I somehow forgot what I used to love so much about it. Till today.

I just went home from mass yesterday when I was so moved with the priest’s homily. He was talking about mercy and justice. The art of forgiving those who have wronged us and knowing how to separate them from those who are to be punished by a higher being.

I would be a hypocrite if I too was to tell that I could easily forgive others. It is not easy. And for those who were wronged badly too, you know what I mean. To be forgiven on the other hand for those whom I’ve wronged is harder for it does not lie in our hands, the fate of our relationships, may they be with our family, friends, or life partners.

That’s where I lost myself.

I came to realize how angry the world has become. How I have become. After everything that had happened to me, I sort of mentally deleted the definition of the word compromise in my head that with a simple and shallow mistake of someone, was so hard for me to just let it pass.

So this is my sorry. I have to do this to officially turn over a new leaf. There’s no better time than now.

I apologize to my parents. The son you expected of me was not the son who I turned out to be, I’m gay. It saddens me that everyday is a struggle for me to prove my worth to you as your son. My achievements and life-changing decisions, no matter how greater they are compared to those of my siblings’ achievements, are still not recognized. I’m tired, and I stopped trying already. Time holds my fate with how you perceive me, and that is time I have to wait for patiently, whether it comes or not. I love you.

I apologize to my friends. I’ve taken you for granted and had made assumptions I shouldn’t have for I know you guys better. I apologize for the times where I chose not to spend time with you for someone not worthy of my time and someone who doesn’t value his time with me. I appreciate all the love you still have for me despite how I treated you guys. If it would mean anything, I’d like to pick up where we last took off.

I apologize to Chris. The break up was peaceful, but along the way, it got really ugly. So ugly that I did things I never thought I was capable of doing to other people. It wasn’t really my style to put issues like those out for the public to read, but I did. Both of us didn’t act our age and frankly, both of us were immature. Instead of dealing with our issues one on one, we handled things differently. Maybe you are at peace right now, maybe you’re not. But from the bottom of my heart, I’m sorry. I wish you nothing but the best.
And lastly. . .

I ask for forgiveness to God. (I’ll just keep to myself the prayer I have with Him.)

Life has moved fast and morphed fast. What I have to learn now is to keep up with the pace and know when it is time to move. I’ve been so dependent on people that I forgot that in the end, responsibilities has to be accomplished independently. Things are the way they are for reasons beyond our comprehension. We just have to live it.

It’s not that easy to forgive, but asking for forgiveness to those whom you’ve wronged lessens the burden you have in your heart. Mercy and justice really are two different things, but when you’ve learned the tricks of the trade, you’ll surely make the right decisions.

So while I’m editing my photos of my recent Baguio trip for my next blog entry, I just want you guys to help me out in figuring out a new nick for me in my new school. I’m sooooooo over with Ae-ar, Remcyl, Yatz, Abraham. Call me something else.

So what will it be?

The person who comes up with the most creative nickname  shall win $5 (which in the third world country means almost 300 bucks) via Paypal for those residing abroad, and via GCash, or bank deposit for those residing in the Philippines.

Let’s put our thinking caps on and decide!

Rachelle… Ann… GO!
