Nakikisama ako kina Mandaya at kay ABBA para makilahok at magsulat sa ibang uri ng pagmamahal. Ang pagmamahal ng isang lalake sa kaniyang kapwa lalake, na di tulad noong unang panahon na masiyadong nakakubli. Sa panahong ito, mas nakalantad na ito at napag uusapan ng malaya.

Ang aking topic for this post is Relationships between a Gay Man and a Straight Man. Let’s face it. It never works. Well maybe for a few (mabibilang mo lang sa kamay). But generally it always goes down the drain at talunan lagi ang ate mo.

Here in KSA, marami niyan. But the case is different here. General rules don’t apply. Marami ang nagsasabi kapag pumatol ang isang lalake sa isang bading – Bading na rin si Lalake. That rule doesn’t apply here. Imagine a place where there is limited to none at all access to females. Imagine a place where you are alone with no relatives for a long period of time. If you were straight, you would need someone too. Someone who would take care of your needs, sexual and otherwise. If you were straight and your hormones overtake you – you would settle for the next best thing.

Dito sa KSA, its an open secret. Many expats who works in low paying jobs such as those who are food servers, cleaners, at meron din naman na malas sa amo na ATM (after three months) ang suweldo. Iyong mga sinwerte na may looks ay nililigawan ng mga Sangkabadingan. Karamihan dyan, mga Food Servers at mga Salesman sa Malls. At ang highest bidder – siya ang wagi!

Marami pa nga dito na may asawa’t mga anak sa Pinas pero may Dyowa din pala dito. I have met a lot of those. I don’t criticize or judge, buhay nila yon, who am I to judge?

Meron din naman na G.L. (Ganda Lang) ang gamit. Ang puhunan lang ay cook here and cook there, cook everywhere ang labanan. Mas chika naman ito kesa naman sa Major Investment sa mga showcases. (Cellphone showcase, Appliances showcase etc etc)

Relationships like these are contract based. Kapag End of Contract na ang isa, end of relationship na rin. That’s the reality. I have heard of a rumor nga of a certain ex PBB Housemate who worked in Jubail who had a similar affair when he worked in KSA. Tsismis lang ito, I have yet to confirm.

I have had my share. Pero that’s all in the past. Hindi na ako bata para hindi pa matuto sa mga experiences ko.

Buti na lang Swerte ako kay M. Spaghetti lang ang puhunan.
