I spoke to a girl-friend. (read closeted fag hag kasi hindi niya alam ang sexual preference ko) on Facebook chat last night. The sexy, late-twenties school principal was the one I tried to pair with auto-fellatio boy a few months back. The pair somehow clicked, with the sexy school principal chick finding the boy interesting. The problem is, auto-fellatio boy fell in love with his Ford Fiesta. Ang issue pa nito, no-girlfriend since birth ang binata at mas effeminate pa kung kumilos sa akin. Our friends are beginning to question his sexuality tuloy.
Unfortunately, the boy didn't pay attention to the chick. Bad shot sa akin yun kapag nagkita kami sa reunion.
Now the sexy school principal chick who bought her own Hyundai racer this week asked me if I pray a lot. Of course I said yes, ako na ang tambay ng Monasterio de San Jose habang nasa Canada ang Santo Papa. Akala ko pa naman na she would ask me to pray that her students bag the championship sa isang inter-school competition, but it turned out, she asked me to pray for another boy.
"Mugen naniniwala ka na meron tayong one great love?" She asked. Napaisip ako bigla.
Truth is, I had many crushes before. High school pa lang ay nanliligaw na ako ng babae. (in a pathetic way) Nung college naman ay pabling na ako ng slight, and in my early 20's, ang crush ay madalas kalandian. Kaya ngayon I dwell only at the present. I may have had thoughts about what ifs, but if one would look at my romantic history. I go full blast with my feelings until the other person says its time to go. So far hindi pa naman ako namaril ng ex sa SM Malls.
"I don't believe in that one great love at the beginning." I told her. "You realize it only when you have been together for a very long time." Siyempre impressed si babae.
Ang kuwento pala, the other boy and the sexy school principal chick dated three years ago. The boy asked her kung puwede daw ba maging sila, the chick declined. Sabi niya hindi pa siya ready. The boy moved on, met his next girlfriend and now break na sila. He tries renewing his bonds with the sexy principal chick at hetong si future fag hag naman ay biglang nabuhayan ng loob at tinawag siyang the "one great love."
Knowing my girl-friend's frustrations, I tried to be supportive with her in her quest to find that elusive love. Sabi ko pa nga, "sabihan mo na lang ako kung mapapakasal na kayo ha?" I'm sure kinilig si babae. Pangarap niya yun for a very long time. Pero ang laking gulat ko lang nang malaman ang buong storya.
The guy asked for her number. Dali-dali namang binigay ni sexy school principal chick. What I thought was a recent event happened na pala two weeks ago pa, and the boy all this time has not sent his first text message to my girl-friend. Kung gaano ako kabilis naging excited, ganun din ako kabilis nanlupaypay. Parang nilabasan lang ng tamod. As conventional wisdom goes, you find someone interesting, you reach out with a speed of light. Sa kanila yata, parang paasa lang ang nangyari.
I told the girl-friend what I felt. Sabi ko na kung may gusto ako, kaagad na tatawagan ko, makikipag-set ng date and who knows, the person might feel the same. Gusto ko sana gawing example si Baabaa, kaso baka lalong ma-depress si future fag hag kapag malaman niyang hindi ako straight. I assured her na as long as I'm around, I'd make sure she will end up with the right guy. Parang katulad na lang kay ex-girlfriend, I stalk her potential dates just to make sure hindi siya natatanso.
To be honest, I really don't know what single girls who are approaching their thirties feel. Sa tinagal tagal kong umiikot ang mundo sa sangkabadingan, ngayon na lang ako nagre-reach out sa mga babaeng kaibigan na naging bahagi ng masayang buhay ko sa college. Kung hindi dahil sa isang conversation with a high school classmate ngayong gabi, I wouldn't fully understand why sexy school principal chick appeared a little aggressive in pursuing a guy - any guy - who she could get married soon.
"hay nako mugen ako pa tinanong mo hindi ako masaya sa buhay ko. ginagawa ko nalang kung ano role ko sa buhay." I asked the high school classmate if she's a single mom. Sabi niya hindi. Hirit ko naman masuwerte pa rin siya. Yung mga kilala kong single mom, ginagapang talaga ang mga anak nila. This is what she said to me.
"ano bang mas maganda mging single parent o tumandang dalaga?" Biglang sumagi sa isip ko si sexy school principal chick. Kasama na dun si ex-girlfriend na pinagtatawanan ko pa habang kausap sa Facebook rin kagabi.
"eh 30 na tyo kamusta naman kung magka anak pko"
Somehow, I felt like an ass for being insensitive. Being surrounded with single moms who try to make both ends meet in such a way they would look a little desperate distorted my view. It prevented me from seeing the other side, yung side naman ng mga babae na gusto magkapamilya pero kailangang maghabol na sa biyahe.
"Parang gusto kong maniwala na all goodlooking guys are either taken or, umm gay." I once told someone.
If only I know a lot of nice, faithful straight single guys, I could have introduced them to my sexy single girl friends. Seryoso, gustong gusto ko maging masaya sila. Kaso sa mundong ginagalawan ko, these guys never exist.
Yung iba pa, makita lang na medyo maganda ang katawan mo sa DP, magtatanong kung puwede "makitambay" sa place mo.
And that story deserves another entry.

Nice post joms.. =)
nako ang mga lalaki pa man din ngayon parang si elisa... nasan na nga ba? hehehe ^^V
bihira na lang matino, imagination na lang ata, pero syempre kung meron... meron :D
tama nga kasabihan minsan na the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. onga gusto-gusto na dahil hinahabol ang biological clock. pero sana wag na ganun dahil isipin din kung saan ka talaga masaya: forever single na masaya o legally attached pero nagdurusa? mejo nega ang dating ng latter suggestive status hehe, sori. pero kung di naman marrying type wag na ipipilit. just keep the options open na lang without resorting to hardselling ng sarili lest the person will find herself in the worst predicament: single and bitter. mas kinder ang society sa mga old maids kesa sa aging bachelor na naging questionable ang sexuality.
uy kelan tayo mag tagaytay trip uli? bukas free ako hahaha.
may tama ka kuya joms. sabi nga rin ni Mo Twister sa kanyang podcast, "good looking guys today are either taken or gay."
^^
talagang rara commodity na ngayon ang gwapo at mabait na tunay na lalake. sana wag siyang magmadali. wala pa namang divorce sa atin.
natawa naman ako sa comment ni pongpong pagong,
Nasaan na nga ba si Elisa?
Reminds me of a friend who's on her mid-thirties. Sa sobrang paghahabol nya sa byahe, she ended up being a single mother to five adorable kids, with five different dads. At ngayon, she's desperately looking for a partner na naman sa YM chatrooms. Haaaay. :(
Happy weekend, sir! :)
hay, dahil na e-extinct na ata ang mga straight or nice guys, na out of balance na ang ratio between men and women :(
natawa ako doon sa 'hind pa naman ako namaril ng ex sa sm malls'! hahaha unexpected lang. ^_^
There are times when I think that being gay is better than being a straight girl. I'm not saying gays are superior than the latter, it so happens that almost all of my gay friends have awesome careers and relationships up on their sleeves, all-at-the-same-time.
baka naman over-achiever yang si friend at na-iintimidate ang mga kalalakihan
:-)
