We've Only Just Begun

...to really recover from the big party weekend that had just gone by. We got drunk, we got stupid, we got naked, jolly, cranky, spaced-out, sick, perky, famished, wet, horny, cute, annoying, skinny, slutty, shameless, photographed, asked out, rejected, loud, intimidted, intimidating, obnoxious... Throw in any adjective and I'm pretty sure at one point or another, we were it, in the course of one weekend.

Friday
Welcome Dinner for Keith

on the menu --- Keith's favorite Filipino dishes:
bistek tagalog;
ginataang sitaw at kalabasa with shrimps;
chicken adobo;
inadobong baboy sa patis;
and lots and lots of San Miguel Pale Pilsen

______________

Saturday morning
Disney Gayday

with Josh & Nick after the 2pm LK show

with Keith in a tiny red tank top and pouting Antonio

Dan & I with the two Andies


May 10 at the gayest place on earth

[Comment of the day: "You skinny bitch!"
-to Rye from different fags. Flu virus, anyone? ;-)]

minutes before getting on the boat, without a drop of alcohol in our bodies.


halfway to the Cheung Sha rendezvous.
Miro had changed into what was known that day as the showstopper outfit,
and a number of us had started taking our shirts off,
while some started feeling seasick

the lei --- the official Volume boat accoutrement

having a drink at the lower deck,
where one went if he wanted faster access to the john.
and to the bar.

the floats

the plan was to half-submerge my body in the water for pictorial purposes...

...until we got pulled into the water

Jethro and I starting to feel the buzz.
We had just gotten back from another boat where I was forced
(in an attempt to look cute to my crush for the day) to drink shots of tequila.

When the lesbians started swimming to our boat,
I started teasing the guys, "Mahiya naman kayo!
Mas hindi pa takot sa tubig yung mga babae kesa sa inyo!
(You ought to be ashamed of yourselves! The ladies are even less afraid of the water than you!)"
Few minutes later, with the aid of a floater,
Dan & Gil managed to paddle themselves 5 meters away from our boat.

Dancers. Bakla. Baklang dancers.
Where was I when this photo was taken?

Trying to convice myself I wasn't drunk.
And wondering what the food they served tasted like.

At 5pm, with no solid food and 2 liters of vodka in my system.

And the best triceps award goes to....

Flu-tilla

Flu is gone, gone, gone! And I and my friends are oh-so-geared up for the big weekend ahead!


Our boat reservation for floatilla has been confirmed and paid for; Orders have been placed; Shift changes --- approved; Beach towels, Speedos, sunscreens and tanning oils --- packed; Cameras --- charged; Diet is working out right... Baby, we are ready to rumble!

Keith arrives tomorrow night from New York and we are having a little welcome dinner with friends from work at my place. Nothing big. Just a simple gathering of friends who missed him, and a few that he will be floatilla-ing with.

Saturday morning, Andy arrives from London with his friend --- just in time for the Disney Gayday.

from Disney Gayday 07: Julius, Xiao Fei, Hok Leung, me & Dan

Disney Gayday 07: Xiao Fei, Hok Leung, (Andy's then-boyfriend), Andy, me

Saturday night is karaoke night at Steve's with the beckies that won't be joining us for floatilla.

Sunday 8am is time allocated for last-minute push-ups, crunches and pull-ups.

Then we are off for the biggest, hottest, wettest, sexiest gay event of Hong Kong... Floatilla 2008! And this year, we are bigger and better! (bigger both in terms of pecs and arms measurements, and the group of friends joining the event) 15 of us on the Volume boat, one of the biggest boats this year with a 100-person capacity.

Floatilla 07, sailing to turtle island: James & me
(in a black tank top, black Bali pants and black feather boas.
camp! camp! camp! LOL)

Floatilla 07 on board the Gay Invaders Boat 1: James, Tony, me & Julius

Woohoo!

P.s. One of the best things my flu brought about is the dramatic reduction of body fat and retained water. Flu virus, anyone? ;-)
