today is GAY DAY?

This afternoon I went to my sister's office over at the Philippine Stock Exchange to claim the resume I had asked her to type for me (I've been job-hunting for a graphic artist position - tell me if you know of any, by the way). Of course no trip to the Ortigas area would be complete without walking in front of the Raffles Bldg -where I spent a good amount of my time when I was still working for that call center- and then flunging myself to Megamall to kill some time.

And as always I found myself strolling through the galleries on the 3rd flr. I've been doing this since I discovered there actually was a slew of art exhibits there. I then went to the car park (i heb no kar!) to reminisce, it has been the tambayan hump of both L and me. I then went to the toilet (malamang para umihi); the moment I swung by the door I knew there was something wrong, THE MEN DOING THEIR THING BY THE URINALS WERE LOOKING AT EACH OTHER'S DICKS...WHATTDAFU--???!!!

EVACUATE. I forgot how I needed to urinate badly and evacuated over to the basement, where I spent a good 20mins staring at both COMIC QUEST and FILBAR's.

Ahh...sanctuary!
-of course naglaway na naman ako sa mga comics that I could never afford in this lifetime, but at least no gays.

memo to myself:
never go to the BLUE ORB on a Thursday night. What's the Blue Orb, you ask? It's the computer shop I am in right now!!!
Why? Well, there seems to be an unwritten law that every homosexual in Mandaluyong must congregate here.
Just my luck, these are not silent types - these are FU--ing SCREAMING FAGS!
Just beside me, a huge, macho fag is viewing a caucasian guy through a webcam chat.
On my other side there's a cross-dresser. If there's one thing I hate, it's a cross-dressing fag telling his/her tales of woe to smaller fags surrounding him, as if he's some kind of celebrity.
I have got to be the only heterosexual in this room!

But before you -whoever you are- accuse me of being a homo-phobe, let me just shed some light for you: I am not. I have nothing against gays.
It's just that doing the George Michael at the mall is WAAAAY beyond me. And I hope you don't persecute me for being so uneasy in being probably the only heterosexual in this floor of the internet shop surrounded by screaming fags.

Their presence is the least of my concerns, it's just so annoying to hear one of them shrieking about his Papa and/or any obscenities worse than of my sexually-deprived friends could ever think of.

Imagine what a whole pack of them would do to your sanity.
