OF PROMS, BLACK SHIRTS AND EVER BILENA












by Toni Villafuerte



It was 3 o’clock in the morning and my friend and I have been talking for hours trying to catch up about what has happened for the last few months.


“Oh, I’m gonna tell you a story about this dance event I attended…”, says John (not his real name of course. Sheesh.).


“You went to that? How was it?”, this is me.


“It was a bit of a drag, but it was okay.” Him.


“Did you have fun?” Me.


“Not really. But a girl asked me to ask her to dance.” Him.


“She did? This is not King and Queen of Hearts right?” Me making fun of him.


“Nah. I can’t remember what the song was but it sure was uncomfortable!” Him.


“Huh? What do you mean by that?” Me, asking.


“Everyone was staring at us. Making fun of me. They just know the girl sooo isn’t my type.” Him, a bit defensive.


“She wasn’t? Why not?” Me, confused.


“She just isn’t. She was wearing something expensive yet funny-looking. And did I tell you her make-up was way too thick? As in. Foundation day, everyday.” Him, a bit irritated.


I cracked up. He said…


“I was wearing a black shirt and she was leaning on my chest trying to be sweet and all. I was afraid she’d leave cake foundation marks on my shirt…” Him, laughing too.


I laughed for 2 minutes non-stop. I just couldn’t stop laughing at the thought how he was moving his body away just so her make up wouldn’t ruin his shirt for the night. I got my “hahaha” piece. Man that was funny.


John told me he doesn’t like her. I asked him why aside from the make up thing and the ridiculously manicured nails but he just won’t tell me.


“Sometimes you just can’t give anything back but friendship.” Him.


I understood. I know him. He’s my ex, that’s why.


This is part 1.

BOY GOES GIRLY by Toni Villafuerte

Image
"Boy Goes Girly" is a blog series that aims to promote confidence in one's sexuality regardless of gender. It promotes being at peace with how you do things even if society dictates that certain things should only be done by certain people. It's a guilt-free pass to amazingly fun things to do and sometimes a bit of trivia comes with it. Enjoy. For our first installment, I bought Summit Media's "Total Girl Slambook" recently and I thought it could be interesting to answer something that's completely mindless and yet incredibly entertaining. I encourage you to answer some of the questions I answered or even get the book. It's only Php 150. *love love love*

The Wonderful Things I Learned From Mr. Wrong

Image
Every girl (and a whole lot of guys too) I know are in this never ending search for Mr. Right.   According to the myth, Mr. Right is called Mr. Right simply because he is the most perfect fit as to what everyone wants in the guy they date. He is the one we can’t wait to tell our friends about. He is someone we would want our parents or family to meet. He is the one we cannot tweet enough about or potentially the subject of at least 50% of our Instagram and Facebook posts. He is our destiny. WHO: Mr. Right Across many different cultures, Mr. Right is believed to be good looking, smart, healthy, sensible, financially independent, a gentleman, funny, reliable, good in sports, can handle his alcohol, loyal, honest, good in bed and has the most perfect timing. He is most commonly played by the likes of Ryan Reynolds, Freddie Prinze, Jr., Brad Pitt, Jericho Rosales and John Lloyd Cruz in all the romantic comedy films with a happy ending that we all loved. ...
