Here comes summer again my friends! The most awaited season of the year for flirty gals like us. Another exciting and unexpected escapades awaits our fab group this summer. Like any past out of town specials, every year we definitely witnessed a unique and unforgettable experience to each one of the girls. Now on the10th year of enduring difficulties in getting the divas together in one summer special is a feat by a genius work of God. So now just sit back and relax coz Ill pay tribute to my fave Queer Summer Specials of All Time:
1. WET AND WILD
WHITE COVE (Batangas, May 2003) definitely my number one on the list. Eventhough we're not all present here (Ruffa's non appearance), this special was really so close to my heart ever. All the ingredients of an exciting, unforgettable, perfect outing that comes to mind were all included here. Well the real original plan was that Im just going all alone on this trip. A sort of one of my impulse crazy soul searching idea back in those days. I was so heartbroken by a guy from my neighborhood so I decided to borrow the unit of my cousin in the exclusive resort in Batangas. But I haven't really decided if Im going to push through my plan. So the night before the big day I met my girl friends, Shawi and Madam in Powerplant, Rockwell to tell them my idea. By the way we played bowling for the first time that night. Anyway, as usual the two girlash asked if they could join me. With all the drama, I told them that I want to be really alone and besides Im still undecided that moment. As my fickle mind goes, the day after around afternoon I made the decision to go to White Cove with my girl friends. I was thinking ill be much more depress if I just go alone. As cliche as it may sound, the rest is history. The highlights:
Mushroom Burger We're so hungry during the travel so we were looking for an affordable and good place to eat. Judy suggested Mushroom Burger, the ever famous 80's burger stop in Tagaytay. Since we were all very hungry and haven't tasted their meals since birth, we all agreed to give it a try. Well, when you are with your "Barkadas" you really can't avoid the urge to joke around. Right? Unfortunately, something happened that time which make this trip a monumental event. While eating we all tease Judy that the food was not good and pricey for an unsatisfactory meal. In fairness its good naman! After we all finished eating we decided to leave immediately because its getting dark already. When we were all inside the car, Beauty, the best jester of our group,talked non stop about the food experience until we reached our destination in the evening. What we didn't know beyond the smiles of the ever sensitive Ms. Judy there's a boiling lava lurking inside her already waiting to explode. The second day of this trip Ms. Judy spewed all the venom she was keeping since day one. Because that 2nd day we were all (most especially Beauty) still teasing her about the food, the choice of men she brought into our lair (this is another story) and she was already so pressured to have sex that night. Mix emotions equals big explosion for our girl. Judy unleashed the most shocking shout out that night or in the history of our gay friendship: " Ano ba problema mo?! Magkano ba yang kinain mo?! Babayaran ko!" this was all directed to Beauty, one of the famous quotes of the decade db?!
STORM SIGNAL # 2 An unfortunate event hovers around this fantastic trip from the beginning. A curse from Ruffa perhaps? What we didn't know or learned only on our way to Batangas that there was already a storm brewing outside the Philippine shore. When we were still in Manila that afternoon the sky was still clear and sunny. But when we got to Sta. Rosa, the weather was not cooperating anymore with our simple plan. This trip was actually to end the summer with a full blast. But what happend really was a surprise get together to welcome the rainy season. A symbolic event to wash away the several months of my depression and to be baptize to start a new life ahead. The truth is I love more the rainy season than the dry months of our country. Personally, Im more into wet and cold months cause i dont like to be sweaty and the humid stuff really irritates me. I fell in love with the countryside more during our stay in Batangas. The sweet smell of the grass and rain were so endearing. This vacation was really a refreshing take from the busy and chaotic world of the city. I realize that the storm which entered the country that time was not an unfortunate event though. It was more of a blessing in disguise for our fab group. An added spice for our "history in the making" vacation. Did you know that the plan was just an overnight stay but we extended this trip for one more day because of the strong and heavy rain in Batangas? This was the first time since our friendship started way back in 1993, that we were together in one roof for 3 straight days. To think the five of us together minus Ruffa in seclusion were all mind boggling enough. Yes, its very reality show I must say. Spearheading PBB several years before the actual Big Brother hit our country. Youll be able to say all hell broke loose if you care to imagine the situation. The diva in all of us fantastically remained intact. But the truth was we really really bonded well over our stay in the condo unit of the exclusive White Cove Resort. This was the time that we learned more of each others personality and attitude. We only ate, play cards, sex with lots of guys, sleep forever, picture taking, talk endlessly about anything, tease and laugh around for the whole fucking three days. And another memorable thing I remember was the part when we played volleyball in the morning amid the heavy rain. . There was a net in the middle of the white sands of the beach so we got the idea of improvisinsg one of our shirt as a ball to toss it around. We really had a blast doing it. We laugh so much for the whole time which took away all our energy to continue playing. All my problems and stress disappeared on that single happy moment.
THE GHOSTIn addition, a "barkada vacation" will not be complete without the scary thingy part. For the first time we encountered an out of this world phenomenon. It was raining heavily so we just stayed all on the room for the whole day. That night Shawie, Madam and Beauty played "tong its" non stop. Since Judy and I had nothing better to do we decided to go out to buy some stuff and hunt for local community boys at the town plaza. By the way the only people in the resort were the three ever dependable security guards and there were no other guests in other units besides us, because that weekend was already the last days of the month. Anyway we just bought some food and didnt find any appealing guys that suits our taste. So when we got back to our room the three girlash were so silent. They didnt even paid attention to the arrival of two sexy stars. At first I thought they just concetrating in their card games. So I asked them if there is there something wrong. They just said that a blackout occured awhile ago before we both arrive. Then I joked that " Buti walang multo na nagpakita? Eh balita ko me white lady daw sa isa sa mga units dito eh."The reaction I only got from the three was just a force smile and they just look in each others eyes like there's something fishy going on. And I asked them what's with the smile? Madam or Shawie told me that during the blackout they heard a scream and cry of a woman. I just laughed at them because I knew the'yre just joking cause they know that it'll scare the hell out of me. Moments later when they were done playing, While Im already brushing my teeth in the bathroom, I experienced the most spine chilling moment of my entire life. I heard the cry of the woman they're talking about awhile ago. All the hairs on my skin stands at that moment. Guess what I did? I run as fast as I could and energetically jump on the bed. I was so scared honestly. Never been that scared in my whole life. I was really sweating profusely. They all laugh at me heartily. I asked them if I could sleep in the middle of the bed cause I was so frightened. It entered my mind that maybe they just made the sound. Then it happened again. It was coming outside of the room. I search all their faces for a hint of a joke. But no one in our group really made that creepy cry. Beauty the ever strong person in the group assured us that its not a ghost but just a wind. But I know the difference between the sound of the wind and a wail of a suffering person. Maybe she just said that so we'll not be all frightened. I didnt take a bath that night or even go to the bathroom to take a pee. I just waited for the morning to come. I just slept between my friends covering my whole body with a blanket and pillows. Who cares if I cant breath and sweat heavily!
THE LOCALS . I remember there was a funny moment happened on our stop in Tagaytay. We drop by in a small town grocery store to grab some snacks for the rest of the trip. There were no other customers around except the five of us. The only other people inside the store was a girl cashier and a stockman. With my always ready quick radar eyes, I immediately notice the cutie staff. He's really a hunky guy to drool for! I told my sistahs to check him out. We were all flirting and smiling to the guy while getting chips and stuff. I instantly got an idea to invite him to join us in White Cove. But I honestly have no guts to speak to him directly. So I just stayed in the area where he was working, pretending to be browsing on the shelves. In fairness, he's smiling also and making pa cute noh! The girls called my attention from the cashier counter that they were all done and ready to pay. They said that we should go cause its already getting dark and windy outside. When I got to the counter, I still making "kulit" them to invite the guy or just asked the girl in the cashier the name of the cutie guy. So Madam, the all time "numbers girl", bravely asked the pretty girl the name of the stockman. She said the name of the guy (forgot it) and lo and behold, she added with a worried smile that he is her boyfriend. Our jaws all drop hearing that proclamation. Speechless, shocked and embarrased, we hurriedly paid our purchases and immediately headed for the door without looking back to the girl. When we got to the car we were all laughing hard by that encounter. Ha ha ha ha!
Anyway, I think the trip was also transition period from the "super wild, anything goes flirty gals of summer" to " flirty sophisticated, yearning, choosy matured adult women of summer". I think this was the official last wild era of my fab group. To explain this is another story. Anyway, I will not give too much details about our wild sexcapade here. Let just say that we met 2 batch of provincial guys on our three day stay in Batangas that we brought on our unit. We pick them up while we were having some joy ride around the the town. The guys range from barda hunk to cutie teenagers. Ha ha ha!!!! Then we also met some cutie OJT personnel in the resort. We were invited to watch their basketball game in the gym plaza but nothing sexual happened. Yes its true that we all had wild sessions for two nights. We did threesome, sharing, orgy, solo, kfc, romance, voyeurism (u name it) in the bed, sofa, bathroom etc. All I can say its one of the wildest sex in our history of gay friendship. I can assure you that all the girlish were satisfied by the turn of events. Amid the rain pouring outside, a different kind of rain happened in the quiet room of White Cove.
PICTORIALS The only thing that was not a plus on this trip was the pictorial part. First of all White Cove is a nice place for picture taking. It has white sand, clear waters and picturesque palm trees scattered around the area. Since it was raining heavily the background setting of the place was not ideal that time. But this trip was the start of the heavy concept pictorials that youll witness for the next summer vacations later. It was also the beginning of my appreciation of taking my own photos and learned how to project well on the camera without looking slutty and tart. On this trip alone we had produced one the best photos of our friendship ever. If you happened to browse the pics of that time you will clearly see that our look was also changing again for the better. We were all growing maturely beautiful I must say. At the end, It was revealed that there were lots of organized, funny, happy moment, sexy shots captured on this one lovingly unforgettable vacation.
Since The Ruins has been much praised by the king of horror, Stephen King and included in Entertainment Weekly's list of best books in 2007, I didn't hesitate to buy this book immediately.
