And so last night was party night at the Castro scene in San Francisco, California. Two friends accompanied me to check out Badlands and The Café.

These places we went to were quite full, almost jampacked. Among the caucasians and latinos in the crowd, there were groups of Pinoys too enjoying themselves dancing and partying that night. Meanwhile, I was trying to enjoy myself by observing people. I left with a question in my mind.

I wonder where the cuties are.

We arrive at Ugu Bigyan’s house in Tiaong, Quezon in 3 hours. Along the way, SLEX was slow, and we witnessed a big TV-Patrol-worthy accident in Santo Tomas, Batangas. A big passenger bus ramming onto a house. Just a glimpse and I knew it’s impossible not to have any fatality in that mess. Back to Ugu, we were greeted by his terracotta house, beautiful, classic, and aspirational. If Ugu’s gay (I kinda think he is), then he’s another gay idol in my books. His palace boasts of simple but classic beauty. Every showcase hut in his garden was beautifully styled, every nook and cranny designed with symphony in mind. I love that place. Minus the dragon-sized mosquitoes, it’s perfect.

The food they served was magical. It was very Filipino, and as I ventured to interview the serving waiter, the process of preparing the food was exquisite. Filipino cooking, real Filipino cooking, is love in action. As he was explaining the intricate process of how the appetizer (“Kulawo”) was prepared, I was listening in awe. I can feel nothing but gratitude. It seemed to me that the whole universe conspired to prepare that wonderful meal which I enjoyed so thoroughly.

In the background, the voice of a Filipina soprano floated as she sang kundiman songs. My teeny-bopper companions who loved the food as I did, unfortunately didn’t appreciate the accompanying music a bit. I did. It was super, for me. There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, generation gap in the flesh. I too did not grow up with kundiman, but at my age, I could appreciate it. These teeners do not. I’m not judging, just highlighting a gen gap example.

The way home was long. I arrived in my house with a nagging headache. For a moment I thought the spirits surrounding the fatal accident that we passed caused my headache. But of course that fleeting thought was dismissed in a snap. All I want to remember then was my quality time with Marco, and that beautiful, magical meal at Ugu’s.

Life is good. Cheers, my friends. Let’s be thankful for the many beautiful things in life. Say with me, “World Peace!”

Ilang hakbang mula sa maalikabok na lansangan, natunton ko ang aking paroroonan. Nakabukas ang tarangkahan. Sa isip ko, isang katanungan, “hinihintay kaya niya ang pagdating ko?”

Humakbang ako papasok, habang ang puso ko’y tumitibok nang mabilis. Lalo pa itong bumilis nang marinig ko siya. Isang boses na di ko malilimutan. Napakaigsing kataga, ngunit parang panang tumimo sa aking dibdib. “Kamusta?” Tila tumarak sa aking diwa.

Sa aking pagbalikwas ay ito ang tumambad sa akin. Si Carlo.

Hindi ako nakakibo agad. Napatungo ako. Parang di ko kayang salubungin ang nakalalasing niyang mga mata.

Humakbang ako papalapit. Humakbang din siya nang bahagya mula sa kinatatayuan niya. Parang di kami mapakali. Sa pagkakatungo ko, sinubukan kong salubungin ang titig niya.

Ngunit siya naman ang tumingin palayo.

Tila pabulong, at habang nakatingin pa rin siya sa malayo, binasag niya ang katahimikan, “tara sa itaas.” Sabay lakad papasok ng bahay.

Itinuro niya sa akin ang daan paitaas, paakyat sa hagdang ito.

Kay raming alaala ang sumagi sa aking kamalayan habang binabagtas ko ang bawat hakbang ng hagdan pataas. Nung kami ay mga bata pa, minsa’y inaya na rin niya akong umakyat sa hagdang ito. Wala ring tao noon, kami lang.

Ginising ako ni Carlo mula sa aking pagbabalik-tanaw, “malayo ang biyahe, nauuhaw ka ba? Ang init sa labas no?”

“Ah eh, Carl, ayos lang ako. Ok lang ako.”

“Tara sa salas,” aya niya.

At tumambad muli sa akin ang napakagandang tahanan nila Carlo.

Naupo kami. Di ko napigilan si Carlo na maglabas ng minindal.

“Huwag ka nang mahiya,” ani niya, habang nilalapag ang pandesal, keso, at bagong kanaw na melon.

Sa pagsasalong iyon, nanumbalik ang sigla ng aming pagkakaibigan. Kuwentuhan. Tawanan. Kuwentuhan, at mas marami pang tawanan.

Hindi namin napansin, papalubog na pala ang araw.

“Carl, naaalala mo pa ba noong…” napatigil ako sa pagtatanong.

Naramdaman niya kung saan patungo ang aking tanong. Nabura ang tawa’t ngiti sa kanyang mukha.

Ako rin ay natahimik.

Sinubukan kong lumapit sa kanya.

“Carl?” ani ko. “Maari pa ba nating balikan ang nakaraan?”

Tahimik siya. Alam kong nag-iisip nang malalim. Ilang sandali pa…

Nagkasalubong ang aming mga mata.

Isang nahihiyang ngiti ang humulagpos sa aking mga labi.

Sinagot niya iyon: “Tara.”

(This is a fictional story. Credits go to Mark Onir, as Carlo; dear friend for the photographs; and Miko Agoncillo, for the beautiful ancestral house.)

I have visited this spa in Quezon CIty (at the corner of Timog Ave. and Tomas Morato). They have male therapists (some are good looking!) and thus is frequented by PLUs (People Like Us). The locker and wet area are cruisy, and the clientele is a mix of yuppies and and not-so-yuppies. They offer massage therapies only, no scrubs and things like that.

How about “extra”? Unlike in Sanctuario, the masseurs in this place do not voluntarily offer “extra.” This is true at least with the 2 masseurs I’ve tried. (Atsaka good boy na po ako, hahaha!) The private rooms themselves don’t lend well to such activities — the doors have glass panes so those passing through the hallway can actually see the goings on inside the massage rooms.

Maybe you have some juicier stories to share?

Photos of the place can be seen here.

It’s sad when out gay guys bash the closeted ones. Why? Because all out gay guys start out closeted. We all go through that phase, and therefore, we should be able – we are expected – to understand why some of our brothers choose to stay closeted, even if perhaps, we ourselves found peace with being out in the open.

It’s sad, too, when closeted ones sneer on their out counterparts. They, the closet cases, should realize that the only real difference between them and their out counterparts is a critical decision to let others know about their otherwise private sexual preference. Note that the difference is an act of volition — so, out or closeted, there is really no fundamental difference.

These thoughts, among many others, were running through my mind as I sipped my green tea at Kozui, a wonderful cozy place to hang-out along Morato in Quezon City.

What then is our lesson learned? Well tell me what you think should be the lesson here. I’m in the mood for some reflection — yes, green tea does that to me.
