Finally, a fantastic weekend!!

I need to work to appreciate the weekends.

I got a call from Mony. He wanted a phone number. But then called back for lunch!

As we ate at one of his favorite sushi places, I observed that he had grown up appropriately into his mid-20s: focused, driven, determined, happy? distracted by what he has defined as important in his life. And he refused to let the "economic recession" be an excuse, but rather saw it as another challenge to overcome to get what he wanted.

It was nice to finally have a one-on-one again.

Caitlin the Ex-Girlfriend

Caitlin invited me to a Warriors game in Oakland. It was awesome!
We got tickets in the Suite and had buffet and dessert courtesy of her friend who worked there.




Though we were craving trashy nachos and less gourmet hotdogs!
It was like when we dated in high school and we were watching an Nsync concert, but we were in the nose bleeders.

"I should have known you were gay when you wore that Nsync t-shit"
"hah.." She forgot about my point red hair.


What's up with gay people and their exgirlfriends? I enjoy the Will and Grace connection that I have with Caitlin. Back in high school, we made a really cute couple. But eventually her taste shifted to beefy white boys ... who were usually straight. She is no fruitfly, I am her gay friend! And she is my party girl!


We cute.

The game ended at 10 and Caitlin offered to drop me off at Dragon because she wasn't feeling hot enough to be clubbing, which is silly cuz she hot. What a ridiculous favor. Instead I hung out with her at night listening to music in her bedroom.

It was the better choice. Word on the playground was that Dragon was more fun than usual (probably because it was half off with student ID), but as I thought about it... Without good friends to go with, Dragon would just feel empty.

I have officially ended my membership as a Dragon Rat as I haven't been since the beginning of January. Aww. Looks like I'm not going to see my gay friends that have been consumed by the excitement of the City as often. (*cough* neil).

Saturday
At night, I hung out with Carl and his high school friends. A complete opposite of Aaron's party. Carl's friends had wine and cheese and Jenga. Aaron's friends had cheap sake, Budlight and beer pong. I like both experiences.

Though I don't know about the double popped collars. Carl had to excuse himself to the bathroom; he exploded with stress when he saw such a fashion faux pas.


There's Carl running to the bathroom bypassing disaster.

Sunday
Reason why Bally's is superior over 24 Hour Fitness
1. Hot guys
2. Better classes
3. Hot guys
4. Better equipment
5. Hot guys

Curse my 3 year contract with 24 Hour fitness!!!! I enjoy watching straight guys "size each other up" hahaha, the gym is homoerotic.

After working out with Aaron and Caitlin, we went hottubbing. Caitlin who is a physical therapist aid and gymnast made me feel physically unworthy.





After a photoshoot, we had some free yogurt with my frequent buyer card!


Max productivity!

Joe called me to have dinner at Jerry's Grill with Mony!! I was already thrilled that I had lunch with Mony the other day! I haven't seen just Mony since I left for Vietnam! At Jerry's Grill, we caught up with each other, checked out a hot guy and joked around. Szeto HELLA MISSED OUT! (And needs to return promptly).


Though I feel like Filipino food is best served at someone's house.

Mony told me my shirt looked cheap, I give him a look and Joe laughs until he teared up... "I miss you guys..." he utters under his breath.

I realize that Mony can tell me that I'm worthless, ugly and will never accomplish anything in life, but I would rarely take umbrage. Like on Friends the TV show when they are really mean to each other, but no one ever is offended (as long as there is audience laughter).

It's family.

It was good to be in a familiar place. I felt grounded and reminded of who I was and where I belonged or felt comfortable. I really do have issues letting go and transitioning, but I think a little sample of what I adored so much in life- my boys, my high school friends- was enough to make me look forward to creating something new for the future.



Epic Win!
