G4M Guess Who? #003

Hmm... lets try to change the atmosphere... so i decided why not post something yummy instead...hahha... did i whet your appetite just yet... hahah... im just starting... After two bad "guess who's" (im sure you guys dont want to meet them, but who knows =P ), ive decided to write something about someone that you really really really should meet! hehehe... gosh, im sweating just thinking of him...hehehe.... that is of course, if he'll meet up with you (shucks what a lucky guy i was or am, hahaha)

So where do i start... it was one of those regular g4m nites surfing that i chanced upon a new face... a headless face but gosh a yummy body... hahah... lean and toned! just the way i like it... the details were perfect, his height, 5'9... we did exchange a few lines in a span of a week or maybe was it a few days? i totally disregarded the typo and gramma errors, hahaha... especially after he showed his face finally...!!! it was okay... wait, it was yumm...hahah... he was mestizo... although not the super wow kinda mestizo but presentable enough kinda mestizo =P (geez there goes my high standards again) ...several evenings i invited him over but nothing came about.... he was a doctor or just about to finish med? from the richest city in the country....

Anyways... it was i think a saturday evening, sometime last year... that we finally agreed to meet up. A forced meeting but it was okay... hmm... again meeting place, Glorietta! He was in the area since early afternoon as he needed to buy something from National. I was going to a party that evening so i was dressed to the nines, in my black tuxedo shirt. We met near Zara, although i think i passed by him earlier but i wasnt sure...but gosh when i did saw him, he was drop dead wow! hahaha... i never thought such person still exist at g4m! hahaha... i purposely passed by him to check him out and followed him around for a while... dang, no hint at all! i think he is just 5'8 since i was taller than him. Eventually i called him up, and told him to meet me at Zara (unfortunately he didnt know where Zara was?! -- uhm???) but anyways we finally met... he was okay, hmm... he looked really really really really REALLY HOT! heheeh... he has this face that is so pleasing to look at! and a lean body to match... not too bulky just perfect kinda reminded me of Alex... we walked around then headed to Gbelt... at Springfield i bumped into some straight friends (who was clueless about me), but it was fine...since he didnt look the slightest bit, although the disparity of our clothes tells something else, hahaha, and he had a backpack with him (???) hmm...anyways, he was waiting for a message from a friend of his, actually he also was a friend of mine.... since they were to go into a business venture... something in the line of beauty products =P

anyways... the meeting had to come to a close, he had to go, i had to go... but guys! he is one hot dude you shouldnt pass!!! hahaah... maybe an eye candy but definitely a good one! =P and at least not a shrimp! hahahha....

so who is this person... gosh...its actually a dead give away but hey, i so so so love my readers, hehehe 1000 hits in my first week, not bad huh! this is my gift to yall... he goes by... "once you pop you cant stop!"

...so goooo...hit them search buttons!!!!

G4M Guess Who? #002

Was thinking of a post to write today, and i guess, since this guy messaged me after eons of silence (due to the fact that i blocked him already)... i actually forgotten all about him but then i guess, faith, leads him to me, so i am inspired to write this entry... G4M Guess Who Number 2!

Where do i start... well, i just checked his profile now and he already changed it from the time i last viewed it, its quite long now and very literary might i add! =) Again, it was a slow afternoon for wentle then all of a sudden i got a message from a stranger saying... "hey you still remember me?" perplexed i responded, maybe if you show me your pic i might remember... he actually beat-ed and let me reiterate BEAT-TED around the bush! saying...that we met a year ago, blah blah blah...and it was raining and i was a bitch! hahaha... whambam... epiphany!!! of course, how can i forget him!

Hmmm... *rewind a year or so ago (cue musical bells fading) * actually i wasn't really planning on meeting him but i was cooked up at home for quite some time, so i decided or felt like going out... it was again early evening that i decided to meet him up, after several persuasions. I should have trusted my instincts....

...but before that, let me describe him... oh, wait, no i don't want to do that just yet, let me tell you something about him first... he tells me, actually, he prides himself for being able to speak a multitude of languages! not bad huh... and that he comes from a rather well-off family daw (do i have to know that?), he is 5'6 and a moreno, umm dark moreno? =P hmm...he actually looks okay naman in his pics... (one of em, before, shows him harrassing one of his poor pillows) =P heheeh

...so back to that fateful weekday, we agreed to meet at around dinner time, i told him, i can meet him up, but i was actually meeting other people. Of course, i told him that (im not a meanie!)... he said its fine... he'll just have his driver drop him off at Glorietta... then it started to pour! it was raining cats and dogs... hell traffic... he got there ahead of me... and of course, was texting me a barrage of "...where you na!" ...upon arriving at Glorietta, i called him, and he was giving me directions but somehow i couldnt find him! hayy... one of those... im here (but where's here?!?) scenario.... eventually i scooped him out, out of the bagillions of people seeking shelter at the mall from the downpour outside... of course, being the civil guy that i am... and because of the effort he and i put for this meeting, i was nice but safe... didnt want to raise any expectations whatsoever or anything for that matter... but of course, i was being bitchy and a meanie again...hahah... long story short, i had to ditch him... we said our goodbyes and of course i got the ever famous message... "lets be friends..." afterwards...

now what happened here? it wasn't his fault this time...i guess it was mine... there was a time that i was meeting people just because i want to meet people. I didn't make any effort to scrutinize them thoroughly... Im not saying im perfect, but of course i have my wants and needs, after all im just human and gay at that....!

*back to the present* Our conversation earlier, went something like... why dont you like me... was i fat and ugly? How am i suppose to answer that?! Im not that bad to tell someone he is fat and ugly! that is just plain rude... so i told him, lets not talk about it... i even gave him my blog address... (if youre reading this...sorry =P ) but he actually insisted... so i just told him bluntly... im not interested with you... *pause* ...its not that you're fat and/or ugly, you are just not my type (i really didnt want to hurt his feelings) ...then he said... okay something something... im not sure if the lets be friends line came out again? hmmm... (im just recalling the flow of conversation earlier, baka may errors or something but you guys get the idea right? =P)

" ...i'd like to meet a person who can keep up with me. has both the mental and the pysical attributes to interest me" --a direct quote from him --

so who is this you wonder? hmmm.... he goes by the name of, in Chinese it means, "...to melt/to do away with/to sell" or the character sounds like "...small 1"

---side comment---
i'd rather go with the former definition, hehehe... why would you call yourself "small 1" hahaha... unless... =P hehehe.... have fun guys!

Ideal Man

We all have our ideal man, our Prince Charming, in the deepest recesses of our minds. We have a vision of who we want our partner to be... the looks, the brains, everything... a perfect picture of the man you want to be with... have you met yours? i have....

This is actually a follow up on my (gay)life story... remember Mikey from my previous post? Well it was several months after he left for Canada and ignored me for the longest time, that i finally got over and started seeing people again. It was around September of 2004, in one of the yahoo chatrooms that i got to talk to someone... (horndawg something something) ..the first few lines were already interesting that i got hooked in talking with him. I felt really comfortable, talking with him and exchanging life stories, this of course happened in a span of several months.... in short, i found him really interesting... finally, when we exchanged pictures, he looked rather plain nothing special, his pic shows him in the ocean with his chest up showing.... a typical beach outing picture...

Fast forward to December... (exactly a year after Mikey), the thing with Alex (lets call him that, as that was the name he first gave me) is that we would exchange messages only at a certain time but i wasnt really keen on texting him, we do get a chance to talk almost everyday online. He is an IT in one of the buildings around Greenbelt. So it was around 4pm our usual, meeting online, a regular day... that i finally said, why dont we meet up? His immediate answer was, im actually sick, i have the flu and im meeting my sister at the Galleria after work so i dont have a lot of time. My reply, thats perfect, since i have a hair appointment with my stylist at Rustan's Makati... we can just meet up, a hi-hello meeting thats all, just to kill the suspense. Eventually, he said yes. The time was 5:00, anticipating hell traffic, i decided to take the trains from Araneta Center. Our agreed time was 5:30. I called him telling i will be a lil late... he said, he'll wait at G4 timezone area, Taters...he'll grab some snacks. I thought perfect, that'll keep him occupied for the moment... but boi i was rushing! To keep him busy, i texted him, what are you getting? he said, nachos... my exact reply was "...save me some =P" ...almost 6 i finally arrived at the Ayala center... rushing towards our designated meeting place and almost 30mins late... i saw a lone guy in red striped shirt sitting in one of the tables....

...I approached him, with my usual jolly self and Puss-in-boots sorry look... i said, "sorry im late" he was nice enough and say its okay... its true, he was having the sniffles... but he did meet me, i got my first chance to look at him closely whilst sitting at the table... he offered his nachos, it was already cold and stiff... i told him, "i was just kidding but thanks for saving me some"

After 30 mins upon meeting him, i said, arent you gonna be late to meet your sister... his reply was, dont you have a hair appointment? ...i said, its okay, im late for it anyway, i can always reschedule... then he said, yeah. i wont be able to meet my sister, we'll just do our xmas shopping one of these days.... It was what i wanted to hear... we talked for almost 2 hours... mostly about the guys we met, he met a few, so was i... how we started, about our lives, our families...travels etc... all the time i was checking him out.. he was perfect at every angle... his picture didnt do him justice... and when he opens his mouth, everything that comes out of it was perfect... his sense of style, perfect... sorry i really have to stress it again... he was fuckingly PERFECT! He was my ideal guy...the guy in my dreams...the guy i think about that i will be with the rest of my life... who would have thought that i am actually face to face with my ideal mate!

Allow me to describe him: he was 25 at that time, standing 5'8, with a lean build (perfect!), filipino-chinese (real, real nice face!), perfect skin tone, nice hands... gosh... everything was just right! he's educated and cultured, and comes from a good, good family. I have to add, his sense of style does compliments mine, which is a rarity! And he looks really, really delish! =P hahaha...

After that initial meeting, we actually went home together since, he was along the way, i was then living at our house in Quezon City, he is from Valle Verde (hmm, no nasty thoughts, just yet, guys!hehehe). That evening, we started exchanging messages constantly and it was really nice. We meet up the following morning and decided to have dinner at El Cuento in G4 (where heaven and eggs now is), it was recommended by my bestfriend... we would cook our own meat, it would be lovely, i thought it was perfect! ...driving thru edsa sa a breeze, anticipating the nites pleasures... i scheduled an appointment with my stylist... it was perfect, he would leave his office at 5, then we can meet by 530ish... go around the mall, have dinner at 7. Perfect...

Dinner was really nice, i made a fool out of myself but hahaha...its all good. Food was utterly delish! company was even better! ...then after that... this was Thursday btw... so we really didnt have anywhere else to go (or so i thought), he said maybe i want to drink, i said, its okay...how about you... he told me, he can accompany me... hmmm... i told him... well, if you want we can go somewhere private so we can talk... (hint hint) ...he agreed... and so the inevitable happened...

note: his kiss was perfect (im on the verge of tears reminiscing...) but actually, i was holding myself, i was being a "manang!" it was just kiss, lick, rub and jacked off! =( ...but at that time, i thought it was the best sex ever! i really liked just being around him....

i drove him home. on the way we talked, he happened to like Greece and greek culture, i was fishing for infos for a gift that ill get him for xmas... he told me, that he likes gifts na pinag-isipan, something well thought of... We exchanged pleasantries and i was "kilig to death!"

...I got him an alabaster bust of Pythagoras from Italy from Rustan's... why, (he loves Greek culture, Pythagoras is a greek mathematician, Alex does computer, computer = binary numbers = math!) dang...i really thought about it big time! (a side info that will be important later)

It was Christmas and it was tradition that i go home to my hometown and spend it with my parents. As soon as i left, he texted me wanting to go out...i told him i will be out for the holidays but will be back first thing January... we still kept in touch, i was talking to him when New year came...

...to make the long story short... I never saw him again... =_( ...series of events, first i got the pox en route to manila january so went back home to recuperate, his cousins from Canada came so they went around the country, then his grandma died so they all had to fly to Canada... we would still exchange messages every now and then.... on ym then finally... on that fateful day of May, i got a message from him saying.... "thanks for everything and understanding me, but the person that i want to be with is here, SHE just got back from Beijing..." (on one of our conversations, he did tell me about her) The reason why i got a unit near greenbelt was actually because of him but i guess fate knew better...

I guess, Ideal may not really be ideal at all... no happy ending in this story...


I browsed thru my journals and came across some of our text conversations, im sharing this important part of me to you guys:

AFTER OUR FIRST MEETING:

December 13 (20:24) Hey, thanks for texting, i kinda decided that if you didnt text me tonight then you didn't like me. haha... weird of me to think that but... well, hehehe... so it's great chatting with you.

A: hehehe... sorry.. have plans na kasi...
W: mahina pala ako sayo =) hehehe

---yes, at one point i was like that! sad but true---

this is prolly the longest post to date, or at least the longest in terms of composing it, i had to go through my journal entries for the dates, and conversation records.... needless to say, we didnt get to see each other again. I guess i just had to read between the lines that he wasnt as interested as he once was... but what happened? even now it still is a mystery to me =( ...but nonetheless at one point, i had one of the best times of my life... well not really! i guess being with your ideal isn't so ideal if its not mutual...in the end...we have to move on...and move on i did... the thing with me is, if someone tells me he doesn't like me or is not interested, split second, i loose interest too... well... this is a sad story but it still has a happy ending =)

...you ask why? hmm... remember the gift that i got for him supposedly for xmas, but since we didnt get to meet anymore, i thought that ill just give it to him for his birthday (jan XX - which for some freaking coincidence is also the same birthday as Mikey!) ...but since we didnt get a chance... i get to keep it! nyahahaha...

Take A Hint

Some just can't take a hint... whats up with that! Im sure a lot of you can relate to this... although this is a fairly sensitive topic might hit you right where it hurts (hehehe) but hey...im just writing whats on my mind....

...im referring to when you turn down somebody online... usually happens on chatrooms and the like. Here's a typical example:

chatter x : hey i like you, yadda yadda yadda

me : sorry bud not what i go for

chatter x : lets be friends?

Sounds familiar? Usually, what they mean by i like you, is that they want to "bed" you! And, since im not interested, second try... lets be friends? hahaha...where did that come from?!

On a lighter note, maybe they really are friendly. =)

Btw, not to deter future friends... but, im sure, you don't introduce yourself to someone offering sex then if turned down friendship, right? Although, friendship after sex is quite possible...hehehe =P

...my brain is not quite working yet, i need some nutrients...gonna grab some brunchie... more posts in a while...

Who is Wentletrap?

I guess its only proper that you get to know a lil more about the writer of this silly bloggie... Click on to know more about me....

First of all, why wentletrap? I wrote a piece about what a wentletrap is, so at least you have an idea what it looks like... I chose wentletrap because aside from sounding different and classy, it was something that i think fitted me perfectly. Its unique form and shape appeals to me, it rarity and its value unsurpassed (until modern times). I have been collecting shells at one point in my life, i have 3 specimens, i think the national museum has 7 on display. I have been using that nick as an alternative to my legit account....and the rest is history as they say...

But who is wentletrap? Well, i go by JR (quite generic, huh) but im not a junior, im actually the third. My ancestry is Spanish and Chinese but i look more asian than anything else. Now with the advent of the asianovelas, people mistook me for a Japanese, Taiwanese, Korean! dang...

I'm 5'9+, 145, lean build, somehow i don't get fat (mental note thank parents for good genes). I love art and culture. I appreciate beautiful things, from the mundane objects to the monumental buildings, haute couture to bauble jewelry, nice yummy food presentation and pretty flowers.... the list goes on...

I love old stuff and new stuff. My interests in books and topics covers a wide range, from antiques to travel to gems to paintings to politics to business to fish to dogs to food to anything else that i find interesting. I love collecting things. I dont stop till i exhaust my resources or until i find another thing to keep me occupied. Im driven.

I am an architect by course, a designer by profession. I design interiors, landscapes and the like. I do furniture. I also do physical set up for parties. I love fixing things. Im a perfectionist, a very keen eye on detail! nothing escapes my watchful eye. I love to work with my hands.

I love to travel. Its one of my passions. Unfortunately i havent been around the country much but i will soon. I studied and graduated abroad and came back here seven years ago. Travelling and living alone extensively have made me stronger, independent and liberal. I am open to new things and resilient in change. If life throws me a tomato, ill make a potato salad. How? I'll go to SM and buy some...save the tomato for a rainy day! hahaha....

They say im aloof but in reality im not, i am actually a people person. I hate crowds (youll never find me during a sale!), but good crowds are okay... what is a good crowd anyway...hahaha... actually i dont know =P haah...but really, i dont mind people, i just pretend i do but i dont....hehehe... people think im maarte ( a term highly associated with me), but im not, hahaha... ei i dont mind sleeping on the floor, and gosh, who would've thought i would trade Belvedere for a bottle of gin, a Ginebra at that! hahaha... it all boils down to good company.

JR is passionate about food. I love to cook, unfortunately Filipino cuisine is not one of my specialty, and im not really a big fan.... most of time! hehehe... i actually grew up eating the best Filipino cuisine so im soooo full of it! but i do get cravings. I am infatuated with chocolates. Dark yummy hard delectable chocolates! Not the ones from the grocery though, i love the real deal.... euro chocs are the best... i am happy when i eat chocolates. I wonder why there isnt a Godiva store here yet :(

JR loves animals! We use to have a pet monkey. We always have dogs, i actually have 12 shihtzus! At one point we had a hornbill and an owl (it died unfortunately last typhoon), a turtle, a hamster, and lotsa fishes before... Flora is another interest, i love plants, flowers, ferns, bonsais! Nothing beats getting your hands dirty on a slow weekend and seeing your handiwork afterwards....its very rewarding and therapeutic. I love, love, love, white orchids!

Hmm... sounds too gay already? hehehe... i always say its being cultured. One more thing, JR is not really out but good thing is that he doesnt have any qualms of being seen in public with gay people, after all, its all part of the biz... so he always has excuses.... I always say, its the world who is in denial not me...hehehe...

Always dressed to the nines. Yeah, thats true... dressing up is my therapy. I love clothes and fortunately they love me too... I am experimental but always tasteful (subjective). Some people say im always dressed up, even when going to the grocery...my response, why not dress up when doing your errands right? hmm.... but its funny i still get by and i do get by as still being straight, even if i have a ribbon around my neck with an antique cameo brooch on my belt?! Definitely, the world is in denial... hahaha...but its to my advantage so who am i to complain =P

(i have a habit of shifting from 3rd to 1st person so bear with it!) hehehe...

dang... this is longer than i expected...hehehe... hmm... i guess i have to save some for later... basically you get an idea who i am or do you? =P like i said, im just your not so ordinary guy living a not so extraordinary life....

Breakfast at Tiffany's

Yesterday, I was with a friend and i was literally coerced to watching Breakfast at Tiffany's after Borat and Curse of the Golden Flower. I love, love, love old movies, epic movies, big budgeted movies usually set in the glorious past! My personal pick was that Chinese epic... so after 4 or so hours, he told me i should watch that Hepburn flick saying i can totally relate to it... and so i did, but did i?

Well, i guess from the opening of the film, eating breakfast gawking at the display in front of a jewelry store? hmmm... maybe, but change that to lunch or so... but nah, i dont take my lunch out! hmmm... maybe back in the US or maybe in europe it would be possible but in hot, humid manila... na ah!!! hmmm...as the movie progressed... it was clear that we have similarities, a keen fashion sense, a unique way of talkin... dahling... heheheh... situation in life, i guess... but thats too personal for this bloggie... soon maybe =) ...she loves parties but leaves in the middle of it, i throw parties with guests i dont even know, of course being the gracious host that i am, i try to be nice, usually they know me but i dont know them... then sometimes i get the urge to just leave them all, and i do... either retire to my room which is usually occupied by guests too... somehow they love, love, love my room (dont let those imagination go wild just yet! hehehe)... ill post pics one of this days, then you'll know why... although it might be a dead give a way! hahaha.... or just leave the party and drive somewhere... hayyy...

She donned a facade, in order to escape...but she didnt want to hurt people... although more often than not they usually are, along the way. I guess, i have my fair share of people ive hurt... but at least im honest right? =( ...no point in hiding what you truly feel right...?

The best things in life are free... hahah... five finger discount anyone? but really, sometimes we overlook, the simplest of pleasures.... sometimes i do, i always do... you'll know more about me, my weaknesses, my strengths, my adventures and mishaps in the next few days... (ill write about myself on the next post)

We all want the best in life... these days usually that means security but in the end true love does shine? hmmm... i dont know, i think that rarely happens... usually its compromise... and the realization of things, hugging under the rain! ummm... i dont think that happens in real life! hahaha.... thats too much of a drama already.... and finding the cat after she left him out in an alley, uhmmm.... oh and wet as a rag after! hahaah, dont cats hate water?!

Overall, i did like the movie and yes, he was right, i would kinda relate to the character. I dont want to elaborate more but yes... i would watch it again, with a tear rolling down the side of my cheek (it hit me where it hurt-ED, i just had to emphasize!).

13th Post

Its been three days officially and 70 clicks later with about 8 or so comments from readers, that i write my 13th entry. This would be my first entry with the expandable thingie... see if it works.... anyways... the number 13 for some people is unlucky but i think it rocks.... whenever i go on a trip, i dont mind being seated on the 13th slot, theres always a vacancy... lucky for me right! so what's up with the number 13....

i was actually planning to do a sort of research on it but it would make this entry a bit geeky so i just decided offhand to write my two cents worth of thought. Im an architect by course, a designer by profession, and it is a known fact that buildings don't have 13th floors although technically there is...but they usually skip it. Sometimes they skip 6 or 3 or 9... although honestly i dont see the logic in it. Whats the deal with 13! Its just a number....

Heres a lil story from my stint in texas.... on my 13th day there, my host family decided or invited me to go cross country biking... it was around noon, after brunch... the sun was up, the weather was particularly fine and the wildflowers were abloom all over the countryside...it was really nice... i was so engrossed with the whole "sound of music" scenery then whilst going up the last hill... i felt nauseous...i got off the bike, my host mom, Liz told me to drink some water, i told him, im okay... she said no...drink some...so i did...and everything went black! I still was sort of conscious but all i can see was red! hahah...turns out i overheated or something.... unlucky? or maybe just coincidence....

Heres another thought.... you think 13 is unlucky... how come nobody complains about 13th month pay?! and usually its huge right?

well...its lunchtime... my tummy's goin grumbly... so far, my bloggie has been doing good and im happy... still have a long way to go but we'll see... i think 13 rocks don't you? hmmm... maybe i'll name a club after that... Club13 (sounds rockin huh!)

Galileo Inoteca

...an Italian treasure in Calbayog! Calbawhata?! Yes, Calbayog, a side street of Libertad St. in Mandaluyong in the area of Shaw and Edsa.

JR loves to eat! but being blessed with good genes JR is not fat and doesnt get fat! ...hehehe... just a side note!

Anyways, this haunt of mine, is just literally a stone's throw away from my condo but its another world inside.... who would've thought that there is this gourmet deli in this otherwise ugly locale! it would've been better situated in posh Makati or snobby Alabang but no! its right in the middle of urban blight! Located on the ground floor of Reyes Gym, it is very discreet. Once inside, you are immediately transported to the wine cellars of Tuscany or the Italian countryside. Brick walls, ambient lighting, wall to wall niches filled with Italian wines and goodies, with painted murals depicting scenes from Venizia and the birth of Venus.... it really is something!

The place is very cozy as dining areas are separated into 5 different salas or salons, providing privacy and ambiance. Start off with a cheese and meat platter to whet the appetite and a glass of white, to prepare for the upcoming fare. If you are in a hurry this is not the place for you as food are generally prepared fresh, thus taking longer than the usual. Freshly made pastas and sauces with herb roasted chicken perhaps? or how about the famed Osso bucco or veal? maybe steak? or just a bowl of fresh greens... You'll never go wrong.

Galileo is a bit pricey so be prepared to shell at least P500 per person for a decent meal, it is ideal for dates and intimate dinners. But i think, the price is just right. A glass of wine may set you back a minimum of P250, not bad. There are set meals too for those "sabog" with the choices, with appetizers and main course with a complimentary glass of wine for about P450. Try it... then afterwards, check the selection of Italian goodies and pastries. Cantuccini anyone?

Overall, i give it 10 out of 10 for the ambiance (even the restroom is nice and goes well with the decor!); food around 8; service i give it a 9 (the staff were very helpful and they even turned on the lights for the different salons when we were posing all over the place, i guess they like it when people take pictures). By the way they change their menu daily, so customers can come back for more and not get tire of the same fare again.

Galileo Inoteca... an Italian haunt in the middle of crazy Mandaluyong!

G4M Guess Who? #001

For my maiden entry, i'll write about a guy whom i call ...."ebi tempura!"

We have our versions of this story... nice body, nice body... umm nice body... thats about it... But this one takes the trophy! What makes him different, we actually chatted, talked on the phone, spent countless internet hours together, shared secrets and so forth in a span of almost a year but we haven't really met. He was one of the very first person i got to exchange messages with at the site. He says he is 5'9, trendy according to him, muscular (he loves, loves, loves showing off his headless torso!)... an IT guy... according to him loves intellectual masturbation over a cup of tea... hmmm sounds familiar?

What annoys me is that i have spent a lot of time hoping that he would be okay, he was i guess, hiding himself with words and pleasantries... he would always find excuse to avoid a meet up. We finally met on a saturday evening, after he stood me for quite a few time over the week... and by god, did i pass by him! I didn't notice him... geez, we met a Shangrila around 9pm, then retired to Dome. I was being polite and nice as i usually am, but geez, i was pissed as hell... im sorry but, geez, no wonder he didnt show his face to me...!!! Im not saying i look like a god, but hey, he should just shown himself sooner at least both of us wouldnt be stuck in a rut! ...i was trying to be nice, he was obviously trying his best to win me... but i was i guess... annoyed thus the bitchy mode! he wanted more!!!! the nerve! he says he'll pay for my dinner... i said no but he insisted... so fine! then i left...wasted my time, energy and efforts! ...hmm... actually i ended up in makati after that horrid meeting.... well, it still ended up a good nite! =P

....so who is he you wonder... well... he goes by "...a very expensive race car"

G4M

Guys4Men

Three simple words that have become a household name now.... i remember the time when there were only a few members in the site, most didn't have pics yet one is assured of quality. No senseless meetings before, the cream of the crop.

How i stumbled onto the site, i don't really remember but i think it was thru a link posted on one of my ads on one of the yahoogroups i was a member of.... and thank god, i did joined the site! Its been 3 or 4 years now since i joined G4M, i have made a lot of friends, met a lot of people, broke a few hearts, found old acquiantances... hahah, no love yet though... sad?! well.., it depends....

I have met a lot from the site, hmm... im trying to remember who the very first person i met through the site was....but it eludes me. It was when yahoo chat was deactivated that ive become addicted to G4M... i promoted it like crazy, inviting people to join so ill have more choicees, in a matter of days, i was a supporter... gone are the days, when you have to earn your supporter status, now just a swipe of the card and voila, instant supporter status! But who's complaining right...

Now i noticed, a lot of faceless individuals still abound, nothing wrong with it, its just that it annoys the shit out of me, if they insist on asking for other pics, whereas they dont have anything to show...or how about those, giving and asking for numbers, asking to be friends with? hmmm.... hahaha...of course, the bahay kubo seller! wtf!!! oh well... its a free country! hahaha...

I may have been rude to some, (i have my bad days too, you know), and im sorry for that, but im sure im not the only bitchy gay guy around... hahaha... well, im not sorry after all! being gay is already an excuse for being a bitch so i guess you have to live with it.

Anyways.... more g4m to come... and next stop: G4M Guess Who!!!

Interview with ALP

...after holding the interview off for a week, i decided to finally go in for the interview with Ayala Land, Premiere! of course, i want the top of the line, only the very best for mois....

Gosh they had me wait for almost an hour! geez... and their office is plain and ugly! not so premierish as i'd hope... anyways, after an hour the gentleman (gosh i forgot his name), very Castillan looking dude around 35 or so, arrived... the usual compliments and voila, interview portion.

I just love being interviewed, it gives me a chance to play with people's minds, maybe they're thinking they are scrutinizing me but usually its the other way around.... first question: with your degree in architecture, why go to sales? ...well, i have a few years to spare so why not dabble into it, at the same time it is still in a way related to my course, architecture and design, only that im selling the project!

....of course after all the necessary intros and stuff... he asks me if what else i wanted to know... off the bat, "is there a uniform?" ...( i have this thing about uniforms, i just cant imagine myself in one, worse comes to worst, ill have it tailored and altered...haahah), well... he also tells me, i might man the booths and do open houses! maybe give flyers! ....at the back of my head... i dont think i can do it!!!! swallow my pride, hahaha.... but well see... all in a days work... maybe i'll give it a try... they'll give me a ring by the end of the month.... I still have a lot of options.... heeheh

...." i still cant imagine myself handing out flyers!!!" ewww.... but hey he said, they are the ones who makes the big bucks! hahha... all in a days work i guess.... *boom* back to reality... maybe it will be deja vu... or just another day in the life of Wentle....

My Introduction to this "New" Lifestyle

They say there is always a first time. And the first are usually memorable, be it good or bad. I have met a lot in my short stint living this life, i started out barely 4 years ago. Quite recent but not really a rookie.... I lived in the US for quite some time, coming back here 7 years ago... i would say i was technically straight back there...but of course, i knew i was gay at the back of my mind, browsing thru sites, getting off on pics and vids...hahaha... well havent we done that or i bet some of you guys still do... =P

...anyways fast forward to the year 2003, the month was November, time was somewhere close to midnite... while watching tv there was a feature on the local channel, a documentary about TV chatting...where kids would meet and post ads, then have sex, a new form of sexual revolution... its piqued my curiousity but totally forgot about it... then three weeks later after a trip out of town, i came back to Manila, took the day off, and didnt have anything to do... then while flipping thru the channels came across the TXTJAM channel... looked at it for a while...then decided to write down numbers, finally after mustering enough courage... decided to give it a try.... twas the scariest thing ive ever done... the guy on the other line seemed hot, his manly voice took the better of me...hehehe... he was from Ortigas and if im not mistaken his name is Mark. We ended up having phonesex (my first!) ...thinking that he would be the guy for me, we exchanged a few more lines and talked some more, the following nites, although at the same time, i decided to register and post ads of my own.

The following days, were busy... busy with answering sms messages from strangers, usually nonsense messages that didnt catch my fancy. This was before the advent of mms so i was just working on descriptions from total strangers, and basing peoples profiles on numbers, those who have nice or special numbers would be on the top of my list... but among all the numbers mr 450-3333 stood out.... his ad was really good and catchy... and you would see it every few minutes... his ad was a basis for mine.... simple, precise, straight to the point... we got to talk..and talk we did... the next few nites were spent on the phone, from 12 midnite when the house would sleep, i would spend hours on the phone, we would talk from anything and everything... i felt really comfortable around him... it was December when we finally met, it was a Sunday, the place, was Eastwood, in the now-closed Napa Restaurant. I ordered Caesar Salad and Pizza. He was late and when he arrived, i thought he looked pretty plain, he was chinese, 5'6, he says he looked like Vince Hizon? well, we talked about business and pretty safe stuff... after that we had coffee at starbucks... i thought i was getting laid, and i was pretty much prepping myself... but i was wrong, the nite drew to a close at around 2 in the morning, we said our goodbyes and he gave me a handshake... i thought that was nice, we talked on the phone when i got home.

...his name is Michael, i call him Mikey. He was my life then! He really did work me up good, it was really hard for me to get him off my mind. Not a day would go by without either a phonecall or an sms from me to him.... i was crazy! ...finally, after maybe several meetings and dinners (which i would travel halfway around the metro just to meet him), after watching the movie, Elf at Robinson's Galleria, we had coffee at Starbuck's at the Megastrip. He was already hinting at the inevitable.... so by the time we got to his car, he was doing reverse psychology on me and who was i to argue, it came from me... "...if i want to do it for the first time, i'd prefer doing it with you..." my heart was beating fast and i was shaking... mixture of emotions i dont know... then he goes, "then lets do it... are you sure?" Orchids Motel at the end of Shaw... thats where it all happened.... my first kiss, my first blowjob, my first everything... thats where i lost it all...

...The coming days were a blur... but Mikey really did had a hold on me... i just couldnt forget about him... i guess, there was an emotional attachment of some sort giving a part of you to him, that you couldnt to anybody else.... True, i was seeing other people, and it was his idea for me to do so... i told him, i loved him, but he said, i don't know what i wanted.... maybe i'll meet someone and leave him... of course thats not the case... so i met people...and those were the times that ive met, the ugliest, lamest, stupidest people in the metro... and because of that, i wanted him more! ... he was by far the only decent guy i met thru txtjam! hahaha.... what do i expect! who chats on TV.... (i dont know if the channel is still in existence, its hosted by RJtV)

Eventually, i felt the feeling wasnt mutual, and that he took me for granted, he was reciprocating what im giving him... i felt trampled and stepped upon (maybe too harsh of an adjective) but thats how i felt. He was at one point ignoring me... and he says he'll leave for Canada, i was devastated.... i would see him for the last time, but noting happened, i guess thats how he felt... nothing... we went out for almost 6 months, and in total we only slept together 4 times.... a feat? i dont know...thats something im not really proud of.

MOnths went by and no word from him, eventually, i moved on, then out of the blue, i got a yahoo message from him... by then the wound was still fresh, it was really hard for me to ignore him. After a year, and several guys later... i learned to move on... and i learned to forget but not to forgive...

THe coming months, he would establish communication saying he would fly back to see me... and he did just that, but i wasn't in the mood to see him so i would make excuses saying i was out of the city and so forth... only to come back on his departure date. But then i saw him eventually after two years.... i looked better, and he looked the same, i saw him, that evening, and my entire night was ruined! He really wasnt doing anything... he was actually being really nice, i don't know...maybe i was hurt... -end-

Helpless is Attractive!

(the original entry was accidentally deleted over the weekend)

Helpless is Attractive! I would have thought otherwise, but i think being helpless is attractive or maybe that depends on who is asking for help....Would you pick an hobo off the side of the road? I wouldn't ! but if a drop dead god of a person needs help i would lay down my cape anytime!

Last Wednesday I got a message from my mom saying my sis will be coming over bringing with her lotsa meatie for me! I was so excited with the fact that ill be eating steaks galore again!!! but then next message was, defrost the fridge... Im like... wtf! how do you defrost a fridge?! At the same time i was online, so i decided to change my status to... "help me, how to defrost a fridge..."

Much to my surprise, i got all sorts of messages from the mundane, turn the defrost switch (i didnt know there was such a thing) to a complete how to's with instructions down to the last detail.... I have been living alone all this time but i havent defrosted a fridge, ever! Somehow, someone gets to defrost it for me, usually my sister, or the maid, or the staff... Anywho...i left the condo without defrosting the fridge and decided to meet up with a friend in the outskirts of the metro. I'd rather have a fun day out that mess with the fridge and have water and mess everywhere! When i got back that evening, i had tons of messages! i mean a lot!!! even from those that i havent heard from in ages, that im dying to hear from...hehehe....

So that got me thinking.... Is Being Helpless Attractive? ...in my course of living, i always tend to get the upper hand of the situation, i always like to be in control. In meeting people, i tend to foot the bill so i hold them by the neck, hahaha (maybe thats too much of a statement) but you get my drift, right? Never was i the helpless one, even if i am, i dont show it, for me , being helpless is a sign of weakness, never ask for help thats what i always say.... But recently, i realized its not really bad to receive help from people, it makes you feel good knowing people are there to help you out. I got by living off foodies from friends at one point, as pathetic as it sounds and unbelievable at that coming from me, but its fun to be helpless at times. Its very humbling and you learn a lot. Well, I dont want this to sound like a litany of sorts from an oldie so im cutting this short.

....i know, i know... i still have to perfect my style of writing, im actually still getting use to it, putting my thoughts down for everybody to see, so im trying to save some infos just for me...maybe in the next few days... or posts... it'll flow thru me like a newly dug spring....

p.s.

my sis was mad as hell when she arrived the following morning because the fridge hasnt been defrosted and she brought with her, lots of meatie!!!! hahaha.... she ended up doing it herself... and i got by without having to defrost my fridgie... =) helpless???? nahdonthinkso....

What is a Wentletrap?

What is a Wentletrap?

also called staircase shell , or ladder shell any marine snail of the family Epitoniidae (subclass Prosobranchia of the class Gastropoda), in which the turreted shell—consisting of whorls that form a high, conical spiral—has deeply ribbed sculpturing. Most species are white, less than 5 cm (2 inches) long, and exude a pink or purplish dye.

There are actually a lot of of types of wentletrap but I am fascinated with the Precious Wentletrap (Epitonium Scalare Scalare), they were very rare at one point in history that copies from China, made of rice paste abound. Even before China was known for good 'ol knock offs! Wentletrap originated from German-Dutch meaning spiral staircase. I just find the shell to be architecturally and aesthetically nice. Don't you?

I have been using the name wentletrap online as a substitute or a pen name, an alternative to my otherwise legit account. In some parts of cyberworld, wentletrap is quite famous. So if the name rings a bell.... yes thats me! In the course of this blog, I will eventually reveal who am I but as of now, lets keep my identity a secret....

I have wanted to write a blog for the longest time, inspired by those that i have been addicted to reading over the last few months. I still have no idea what to write but hopefully, experience and my daily existence would be my muse and of course the handy dandy thesaurus to make this thing even more interesting, and of course, to name drop every now and then...hahaha... =)

I lost my second post, which i wrote over the weekend when my connection got disconnected, blame it for living in a third world country... ill try to rewrite it once more... well enough blabbery, till next time....
