About the Ball, the Book Launch and The Booze Parade

Well, well, well it seems blogger boy Guyrony got his dose of weekly socialization engagements?


Look how the tables have finally turned out. And people thought you were living under a rock, hibernating again.


From a very exciting, highly-anticipated and very controversial masquerade party. To a hype-inducing, humor-filling and well-attended gathering for the book launch. And finally, the rip-roaring, fun-filling and alcohol-inducing Midyear party.


Oh yes, love life and sex life maybe zero but your social life is back on track. No worries, I'll keep the two still running soon but for now life ain't that worst at all. :)


There are no words to describe the event last night, everyone was just in high spirit due to the culprit that is Soju. Oh yes, we go back to the culprit way back January of this year when the Soju was the highlight of the whole ruckus. Misdemeanors may or may not be included. Or lasciviousness and mischief. Haha.


I arrived about 10pm. The place was already filling with quite some familiar faces and noises. It was nice seeing some of them again after a long time. I shook hands, exchanged embraces and made a series of hi's and hello's before proceeding to the initiation area. The bar.


The bar was already filled with people all waiting for the devil that had been making all the people salivate from the time the event was posted and organized online. I inched closer to the area where people communicated like high school friends having a reunion. Their laughs are infectious and their dispositions are highly-communicable. I moved closer to get the feel of the whole scenario.


"What will it be?" Asked my ever amiable corporate friend.


"Coke zero please!" I smilingly replied.


After placing two pieces of ice in a cup and filling it three-fourths full I grabbed it with my right hand and gulped it in one go.


"You have to be given the initiation rite." Migs said firmly.


And so with a shot glass in his hand and a bottle of that delectable yet traitor Soju I had no choice but to give in. Who am I to resist such temptation?


I took it in my mouth, it was clean and crisp but I know that its effects are far from safe. I know myself, I know alcohol, I know its consequences on a weak drinker like me.


After six shots of the Korean rice wine I told myself I had enough. Yes, I was tipsy and I was intoxicated and I don't want to embarrass myself acting ridiculous whenever I drink. I did that last time. And that was enough self-humiliation for the month of July.


(wink wink)


When the liquor gets tough one must be tougher. It's an initial reaction getting symptoms from drinking. Good thing there are friends whom I can talk to in and out of the place. I let my rapport skills take me to them. Oh, you good boy you. :)


Parties like these are bound to get a little messy especially in the uhm, kissing department. The latter part showed that to people newbies or party animals alike. There were lip locks by two discreet males, one is more discreet than the other. Let's just say they had a good tongue-lashing by the staircase. What's the clincher? They are bloggers.


And then I met a guy, very lean and cute. Looks really innocent and young. He introduced himself to me and I, on the other hand was smitten by his charm and smile. Oh yes, twinks are my waterloo. Call me Napoleon Bonaparte and I will gladly agree. A little more into the conversation and I learned that he has a boyfriend just around the area. 


WHAT???He then explained how they are in an open relationship. Cool. I was surprised but not shocked because this is something not new to me. Although I haven't been in one but who knows? The world is just full of surprises and people change a part of their principles every now and then to ride the current.


A little more talk and I went out to mingle some more. And there among the attendees, there among the ocean  of gay guys, there among the group of the pink populace I was able to meet his boyfriend. An interesting couple. Three years and still going strong. Oh, I'm not jealous. Well, not yet.


And finally we talk about those significant people who made the night more worthy to be attended. The people who fly and flirt around. Quite a few, I myself included but let's not talk about me anymore. After all, I'm not the most flirtatious in the group. Okay, so I'm one of them but just a runner-up.


It takes a lot of courage and tipsiness in order to be effective when flirting. Some actually don't even need to be given Soju in order to flirt, that's just how they were born. Hahaha! The moves, the quick glances, the interests, the stimulating humor all to get a guy into somewhere. It was Hunting 101 all over again complete with demonstration skills.


The party ended with a bang. Four people were left inside the establishment because they were so sleepy to get home. Pooped-out and too tired to leave the place, they decided to rest for the night (or dawn). Sleepy souls left by people who also went home cheerfully and hopefully booked for the night. Ah, the party that gave people headache but with a smile on their lips. Priceless indeed.
