It was a simple get together with friends in a private resort.
With too much alcohol clouding our ego, prejudice and inhibitions, my HS friends dared to ask from their long-reserved guts to do so.
I know there have been rumors about my sexuality.
I forgot to choose "consequence" over "truth", tang inang alak to.
"Have you ever questioned your sexuality?", a girl friend asked.
I lied. I said no.
"Kasi tol andami nagtatanong sa Facebook eh", a boy friend interrupted.
"Anu tol, Straight kb?", he continued like he was an investigator.
I said, "Straight ako ah".
Another lie. Congratulations Hot_bike for winning the "Best Liar Award"
Upon saying I'm straight as a ruler, my boy friends shouted in relief and stood up and embraced me like I won an award. Yeah right!
"Tol whew matagal ko ng gustong malaman, andami n kasi nagtatanong eh, pero buti na lang straight ka tlga"...
"Andami na talaga nagtatanong sa akin kasi alam nilang kaibigan kita", he continued while I was like shrinking down to my toes.
And then they asked if the rumors about me in relationship with a guy they only knew on Facebook is true.
"No, kaibigan ko lang yun noh", another lie.
"So straight ka nga talaga?", someone asked again.
"OO", escaped from my mouth.
"Ngayon pwede na ako manuntok kung sino man magtatanong", my friend exclaimed.
I really don't know how to react on what he exclaimed.
I am between guilt and gratitude.
F*ck, i realize i don't owe anyone an explanation about my sexuality.
Screw "spin my ass games".
:(
