wapo, way to go!
whilst i commend you for creating a new and timely thread, i still feel a wee bit sad that you had to leave nation. (of course, outside the thread, the friendship remains) it won't be the same without you and the rest of the gang. ohwell, we've proven once again that nothing is absolutely permanent in this world, except CHANGE.
regarding to the two questions broached....well, i won't say that i'm the most masculine gay guy. not by a mile. but definitely, i don't fit the stereotype gay (not that there's anything wrong with it.)
do we really have to be so concerned with labels? we're all gays, and yet, we are so plumb scared to be called one. weird.
i had a date last night. it was a blast. during our conversation, he told me that there's this guy who was looking at him. i asked him if the guy was gay, and he said that the guy was indeed gay. i told him to introduce me to his "gay" acquaintance. he seemed perplexed when i said that.
"do you like gays?", he asked.
"hellyeah! aren't you gay?"
i was floored. i couldn't believe the question.
"i'm not gay!" he said.
"so what the hell are you?"
"i'm bi!"
whoa! i snickered a bit. my half-suppressed laugh wasn't unnoticed.
"man, all bisexuals are gay, but not all gays are bisexual!"
"yeah, i believe so."
"so that makes you gay."
hehehhehe, of course, he wasn't miffed. he likes me hell of a lot, eh?
mwah to all the familiar faces! BATH, the former mint will have its grand opening on friday, september 19. free entrance and 50% off on booze! SEEEEEEEYYAAAAAAAAAA!

Remember this post Waps? It was the turning point of the Outsiders. It was when you responded to Dodong's call for a new thread that would challenge the pretentiousness pervading in our old nook, Alien Nation. It was when we began a revolution that would shape the PLU community of Pinoyexchange today. It was the evening we decided to have a collective name for our group. Do you feel nostalgic reading what you wrote?
I do.
All we wanted then was diversity. We longed to end the divide between the effems and masculines and just be ourselves. We got tired of how others trumpeted the merits of being masculine, when they acted more effeminate than us. We just wanted to be free, and in that moment we shed our colors to proclaim our loyalties to one another, we became a solid barkada.
It's been six years after you wrote this post. We had our ups and downs, and for a moment we thought we're all goners. You even once said that groups come and go, but individual friendship remains. I would have bought your statement, but in truth, the group and the friendship remains.
We proved it last Friday during our "quarterly" reunion at Quattro.
Where after so many years, the issue between Kirsh and I had been resolved.
And in between the toasts, the laughters, the memories and the revelations.
I realized that maybe, unconsciously, the reunion was for you.
They may not remember the exact date you left us for abroad Waps.
But so long as this blog exists, you will always be remembered.
Hanggang sa muling pagkikita at
Para sa ating habangbuhay na pagkakaibigan.

Inside the cab.
Jollieboie: Ang galing no? Kahit konti lang tayo nakapunta ngayong gabi, nagtext lahat sa akin yung mga Odders.
Joms: Malakas ang hatak mo eh. Walang makakahindi sayo.
Jollieboie: Ako nga ata ang nagmana sa posisyon ni Omeng eh.
Joms: Sinabi mo pa.
Jollieboie: Kaya alam mo, kahit anong mangyari, sa Odders pa rin ang puso ko.
Joms: Siyempre dun tayo nagsimula eh. Walang makaka-challenge nun.
