Acquaint


I just participated in a social gathering of an all-male community. For the past weeks, I entertained myself by frequenting a chatroom I accidentally stumbled upon while I was blog hopping.  In those weeks, I have been acquainted with a number of chatters, PLUs to be exact. And to label it further, chatters came from different locations and preferences. Some are from the USA, middle east, and most of them from different regions in the Philippines. Being visible these past weeks in the chatroom, I was invited in their gathering.

I arrived at the venue, by myself, nervous with no idea what to expect. Inside the bar a chatter recognized me and acknowledge my arrival. He introduced me to the group. The group seemed to be very accomodating and approachable. There were faces I recognized in the chatroom from their webcams.

We were more or less fifteen in the group. Some of them knew each other for a long time. And some, like me, met them for the first time. It was all fun and laughter with drinks flowing in. Seeing them smiling and enjoying themselves made me feel good in my decision of attending the party.

I don't know if it was the group's dynamic energy or the alcohol that made me feel comfortable in my skin. I suddenly found myself talking to the people around me, which I don't normally do being a introvert. I kind of remembered how curious I was in my teenager years.

I left the party earlier since I have a seminar to attend to the next day. It was a fun experience being with people who are comfortable in who and what they are. There were people that I jived with and exchange numbers with.

I find moments like this very liberating. Since they don't know who you are there's a certain freedom in expressing what you want to express. Though you won't reveal everything to them, but still, you could show them things that you won't normally show in your usual circle of friends.

So, meeting people from the chat realm proved to be a blast. Now, I am more than excited to meet people from the blogosphere.

The One

Feeling loved and inspired, I ask my friends, who are in long-term, serious relationships, how and when they realized that their partners were the ones. Here are their answers: 1) "You don't know. You feel . Nagkakasundo kami palagi. And we have similar tastes." 2) " I just felt it . Despite everything that happened to us, we still chose each other . I just knew it. Tapos nagising na lang din ako isang araw na nung nakita ko siya pagkagising ko na katabi ko siya eh iba na yung feeling ko." 3) "Pasok siya sa criteria ko na kailangan lagi ako chinachat. Kaya nga until now lagi pa rin kami magkachat kahit nakatira na kami sa iisang bahay. Pinakaimportante dapat damang dama mo na gustong gusto ka niya.: 4) " Hindi niya ako iniwanan in my lowest point . He's one of the people na napaka-pure ng intention. Love personified." 5) " I just knew somehow .Yung di ako mahihiya ipakilala sa mga tao. Yung di na ako kailangan magtago." 6) "Sig

Japanese Bathhouse

I have never been to a bath house in my life. My knowledge about bath houses all came from blogs - gay blogs.  I discovered in those blogs that in bathhouses in the Philippines, you should leave all your shyness at the door because everybody walks around naked with cock whipping and balls hanging. There is a wet area where you can find the baths, sauna, steam room and shower. They say that's where the action takes place. So in short, you go to bathhouses if your looking for some titillating escapade. So that's what got me excited when I found out that I am going to go to a bathhouse here in Japan. Well aside from experiencing an authentic bathhouse for the first time, I would get to a see a sausage fest of sorts, have a relaxing massage, and hopefully experience some Japanese fun. I was darn nervous but excited.

Update to "Possible plot twist with a twist"

So here's the sitch. Plot twist (PT) and I aren't chatting no more. "Why?" you might ask. So here's what happened. On the night we were supposed to meet, he bailed. He said that he was going to his friend's birthday party. I call it BS. We've been planning it for more than a year and we've been talking every day and only that night that he tells me he's not available. I wasn't having it.  Anyway, the next day. I had a misfortune. So, my attention from that night before was all gone. I didn't care about him anymore. All that we talked about and discussed seemed like all lies. I unfriended him from social media. Didn't care for someone can't really communicate and wastes people's time. I recently informed his friend that we were exchanging messages. I also told him that I wasn't surprised about PT flaking because he was also flaky. They're friends after all. So there. That's another charge-it-to-experience kind of thin
