Mami Athena calls him the Princess because according to her, he is cute and fragile looking. Wanda Ilusyonada, who is his close friend back in college also addresses him in the same manner. He is a tall, very lean gentleman with a remarkable chinito facial features that puts him in the category of good-looking guys in the office. Compared to my rugged and brute disposition, he is a class act. Armed with an exceptionally outstanding fashion sense and a penchant for creativity - particularly in the field of visual arts, he stands out among the rest.
We were already friends long before my company had an expansion. Back then, I just knew him as the fashionista/artistic guy who caught Mami's interest. During a colleague's birthday held in the same subdivision where Princess lives, he invited Mami to check his place and see his tiny room - where he keeps all his artistic creations. After giving her a tour of his "world," Princess presented her with a painting that Mami still boast today.
Being an eccentric guy, he instantly registered in my gaydar. Despite his masculine demeanor, he gives a strong hint that we belong to the same boat. When he told me that he used to watch movies alone at Ali Mall back in college, I knew that there was something different in him. My speculations were further boosted when he told me that he loves listening to Celine Dion.
On the eve of the eyes wide shut episode, he was about to come out to me after a drunken colleague gave an impression that we were girly for him. Perhaps Princess was impressed when I stood up, hit the table with my knuckles and warned the drunken bastard never to mess up with me. But everything was just a joke though - knowing that I've always been out at work. But somehow, my display of force and aggression inspired him. He was about to confess that he is not straight (by hinting that there's nothing wrong when the bastard told everyone that his first impression of us was that we're girly acting), but I was too drunk to focus my attention to what he was about to say.
Eventually, he outed himself a week later when he told Mami Athena that he is gay during an impromptu drinking session. But it never came as a surprise to me anymore, since Wanda already confirmed what my sensors were getting. And even if our common mother insisted that she doesn't see her as one, I just contented myself to hide the truth.

Despite our common affiliation that bind us together, Princess and I were not that close. He belongs to a circle of straight guys who lives in the same subdivision. They arrive and leave the office together, so our communications were usually through instant messaging. What's fascinating about their set-up is that even if he's out to them, his barako comrades still sees him as a straight guy. When I look at him together with his barkada, I see Princess as the esteemed leader, while his tropa serves as his personal "bodyguards."
I would have been happy to leave things that way it was. However last friday, it seems like fate wanted our lives to cross. After finding out that he's going to Malate to check the place out, I decided to leave my drinking buddies at Metrowalk in order to follow him in Orosa.
At BED's dance floor, we sealed an alliance with a toast of Red Horse.
