Spotted: V turning a year older just before Valentine's Day. But you can keep your magic arrow, Cupid. All this girl wants is a night out in town.
"Honey, so I can't see you tonight?" I asked V. I was planning to take him out to dinner to celebrate his birthday but he had to work.
"They didn't approve my leave, honey. I need to suck it up. That's the grown up thing to do. I guess that's what 30-something people need to do," V replied. "But I will see you tomorrow. Tomorrow, we party. And I am good, I'm happy and quite excited honestly!"
V and I have been friends for eight years now. I still remember that moment that sealed our friendship. It was 2003, we were both young and we had just started hanging out. One night, we were in Malate and as I stepped out of the car, he saw me put on bronzer.
"Do you want some?" I asked him and giggled.
He was silent, a little nervous as he contemplated the implications of the offer.
I went closer to him and proceeded to dab his cheeks with a little bit of the powder, just enough to give a soft warm sun-kissed glow. He looked at himself in the mirror and I saw the way his eyes brightened. I knew that from that day on, things will never be the same.
Over the years, our friendship deepened as we shared a common love for eyeliner, Milan Kundera, America's Top Model, and of course, boys. He held me in his arms as I sobbed quietly in grief over a break-up. Some things you never forget.
That Saturday, we were all dressed up. Arlan, Carlo, Edward, Vackie and I trooped to Bed and danced as Lady GaGa sang "I'm on the right track, baby. I was born this way."
Of course the night couldn't end without one of our favorite things.
A blowjob.
And when V turned to us and said, "Now where's my birthday kiss?" We all knew what to do.
Everyone knows you can’t choose your family but you can choose your friends. And in a world ruled by blood lines and bank accounts, it pays to have a pal. As much as a BFF can make you go WTF, there’s no denying we'd be a little less rich without them. And Kane and his friends? They do besties better than anyone.
XOXO

V made my O-Bar nights less prone to snootiness. His perkiness so infectious, his presence is a reminder that Malate isn't all about cruel games and shameless seduction.
Please extend my Happy Birthday. He is well remembered even in my self-imposed exile from the dance-floor.
yellow light!!!

Ang saya naman ng Valentine's mo, teh. Blow job talaga. Hehehe! Seriously, friends make our life a little more fun.
Hayyy... I can't believe it was 8 years ago that you changed my life. It was a few days after my birthday too, i came to pick you up and you brought me a rose. I was so speechless-- the good kind, of course. I never had anyone brought me flowers, did i tell you that? not even my ex. And yes, things were never the same again. I love you so much honey! Men come and go but we will always have each other.
Oh and another thing -- you don't need a birthday to have them birthday kisses. If that was the case, i'd be one thousand years old (and you'd be older by a million).
Love yah!
belated happy birthday to V!!
:D
happy v(ackie) day!
Here's to friendship and V!
What a fine friend. Someone we all need. Especially with the cocktails.
