Sexy Back

August 29, 2007

 Colby, I miss you! You're over weight. “Mom, what happened to Colby?” I asked my mom while cuddling Colby. “No idea. We followed your eating program. Maybe your dog is pregnant.” My mom said while having her nails done. “Colby is a male canine. I knew it. Mom…” I was about to have a breakdown but decided to leave my mother's house instead.


After attending to some personal matters and some life altering events that would hopefully shape my future, I found myself back to where I started. Awww….. Silly, this is not a novel or some tv drama. I mean blogging… by blogging I mean all about the “scene” in our precious little town called Makati. Is it the capital? Oops.

Given a choice I will forever surround myself with curators, artists, gallery directors and critics. I really miss having a very simple life. Just attending contemporary art exhibitions and appreciating European films. Oh well.. what's stopping me anyhow? Don't answer that.

There are times when I find myself pondering themes about my past, the value of tradition, and the wisdom of the ancients. I feel so blessed to have experienced such things that can easily give me a deep sense of responsibility. But now that I'm "sexy" back I easily forget who I really am. Especailly when I put on my pair of jeans, a shirt that shows my ripped body, accessories, and pose for photogs to grace a non sense bash in some filty old mansion.
“How long are we going to do this? Aren't you tired” I asked Paolo after downing my first shot. “I am. It's not a choice. These people are our friends. Believe it or not everyone wants this and everyone wants to be us?!” Paolo said after raising his glass for another shot. I understand the whole superpower-responsibilty-talk that Paolo had with me but I still don't get why I always complain like a little child and yet I find myself hobnobbing in the spirit of superficiality. Yes, it is pathetic and I don't expect people to understand. Perhaps, some of you do… I hope.

Anyhow, trainwreck is getting old and I need to put myslef together before I start singing Barry Manilow songs to everyone. Darn, Paolo was right. It's not a choice and it is my life. Born with it is what people say. Why will I complain when I have gorgeous people who surround me every single day of my life? I should be punished and by that I mean get spanked. Tudulus! :-)

Yes, I guess the first thing one should learn about the nature of people is to not expect them to understand. As uniquely as we are made, I believe one can never fully understand another because nobody goes through the same situation despite the glaring similarity of it. It’s enough that one listens and cares. That will surely make up a lot.
