GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN: NANETTE’S COLLECTION

Nanette is a wealthy matron who frequents Earthling. She’s pushing 50 or in her fifties, plump and dresses quite daring at times. Jessica especially noticed once how short Nanette’s skirt was. Ramon sarcastically remarked: “Nagdadalaga eh!” (she’s blossoming into womanhood).

The girls and I have seen Nanette a couple of times in the gay bar. We’ve also heard so many things about her, some directly from the people who were involved with her at one point or another.

Nanette has had a number of boy toys from Earthling. She’s had her share of ‘flavors of the month’. Carlo was the first MD who shared information to Ella about Nanette. As it turned out, Carlo and Nanette have gone out a couple of times and Nanette wanted to make Carlo her boy toy. Carlo, however, wanted a ‘relationship’ with Nanette. He wanted the power to control Nanette’s actions and even her way of dressing. The girls and I thought it was more a case of Carlo wanting a guarantied sum or other material benefits. Ella was of the opinion that Carlo was purposely seeking Nanette’s attention when the MD threw his bikini briefs towards her, Nanette’s, direction during one performance.

COLBY

Carlo revealed that Colby was Nanette’s boy toy at some point. Nanette supposedly even went on to graphically describe to Carlo her sexual activities with Colby. I surmised that Colby must have been drunk or otherwise drugged each time he had to have intercourse with Nanette. That or Colby has a stronger stomach than he seems to have. I can’t say I’m surprised Colby was Nanette’s boy toy for a while. Colby seems capable of doing stuff all for money, money and more money.

SYLVESTER

Carlo also revealed that Sylvester was but yet another boy toy of Nanette. I asked Sylvester about it the night we made our peace. Yes, that’s Andrina for you. I had just made peace with the guy and I was already asking him for gossip—ha-ha! Talk about multitasking! 🙂

Sylvester said he and Nanette fell apart when Nanette wanted something from him that he cannot give her. I assume Sylvester meant sexual intercourse. Sylvester told me his parting with Nanette was amicable. Nanette supposedly gave him a drink in Earthling then told him that she won’t be giving him drinks in the future. Sylvester said he told Nanette he understood and that was that.

I don’t know what the truth is in this case but I do know that Sylvester was a regular of Nanette for some time.

ARTHUR

Even quiet Arthur was revealed to have been a boy toy of Nanette. Nanette has really been around.

AARON

Aaron admitted to me that Nanette told him to stop working and just stay home in exchange for a certain amount each month. Aaron called it his ‘allowance’. Aaron said he and Nanette saw each other twice a week. They supposedly met for dinner whenever Nanette would message him. I didn’t bother to find out what happened after dinner. I asked Aaron though if he ever went to Nanette’s house to which Aaron said no.

When Aaron told me he likes me, I told him he might be looking for another Nanette. Aaron told me his intentions with me are different from that of his with Nanette. Aaron seemed incredulous that I would think he actually liked Nanette.

Aaron didn’t like talking about his thing with Nanette. He admitted though that he and Nanette have been together twice and broken up twice. Aaron said Nanette was rather pompous at times and quite strict. Aaron admitted he’s rather slow and deliberate in his movements and hence, often late. Nanette supposedly hated that. Aaron emphasized though that it was always Nanette who tried to woo him back and not the other way around. Hmm, what talent could Aaron have for Nanette to want to woo him back instead of moving on to the next MD?

WHO IS NANETTE REALLY?

I admit that I’ve long been curious about Nanette. What do the girls and I know about her at this point? For one, we know that Nanette is a businesswoman. Jess and I even went to one of her stores last summer to sample her wares. Our conclusion was that Nanette’s wares were nothing special. Heehee.

Through Aaron, I found out that Nanette has children—3, I think. One of her kids is already in college—very near in age if not slightly older than Aaron in fact. The youngest kid is in high school. I teased Aaron if Nanette’s kids used to call him ‘uncle’. Aaron didn’t find that funny.

Aaron said the allowance Nanette gave him was a modest amount, nothing really big. It was Nanette’s promise to send him to school that made Aaron agree to stop working in exchange for being Nanette’s kept man. Ella took it to mean that Nanette was stingy. Ha-ha!

Aaron told me Nanette would wear clothes that are far from modest when they would go out to dinner. Aaron said he would always order Nanette to adjust her clothes to keep things GP (General Patronage) which Nanette would heed. Aaron further shared with me that Nanette is no longer with her husband. And that I ought to know what Nanette wanted from him (Aaron).

Indeed Nanette seems to be a lonely woman deep down. A lonely but wealthy woman.

PERCEPTION OF HER

The MDs I’ve spoken to don’t have anything good to say about Nanette. They find her sleazy. Most of them are scared of her. Red told me he worries that Nanette will pick him from the all-cast and might try to touch him or so. Even Barney admitted that the MDs push each other to the front when it’s Nanette making her choice from the all-cast. They all hope they won’t be “it’. Barney said only a money hungry MD will be able to tolerate Nanette. Hmm. Interesting.

Luigi told me he was introduced by the owner of Earthling to Nanette. Nanette however remarked that Luigi looks like a little boy sent to buy vinegar from the corner store. Luigi is scared of Nanette. He told me that he doesn’t want a turn at being Nanette’s flavor of the month even if it means loads of cash.

BRAVE OR DESPERATE?

There were a couple of MDs who seem to be hoping Nanette will recognize them. Jake was one. One night I saw that he kept coming over to Nanette’s table to make small talk one night and even said goodbye to her as she was leaving another time. Nanette did not table Jake that night so I was curious why Jake kept coming over to Nanette’s table. Keith told me Jake wanted to be Nanette’s next flavor of the month because of money.

There were several others who I saw in Nanette’s couch for one night. She even placed money inside the briefs of one lad who resembled Tarzan when the said MD hit the stage. All were short lived flings though apparently. Aaron told me Nanette told him she tables other MDs to make him, Aaron, jealous. Aaron confided to me he never feels jealous though.

Are the MDs who agree to be Nanette’s flavor of the month brave? Or simply desperate? What is it about Nanette that gets the young and new MDs scared? Is it her heavily made up face? Or the fact that her aura screams man-eater?

A GLIMPSE OF WHAT WE SHOULD NOT BE

If anything, Nanette provides the girls and me a glimpse of what we should never be. We don’t want to be jumping from one boy toy to another when we’re her age. We don’t want young men who could already be our sons scared of us. We don’t want to be looking for love and affection or just plain affection from MDs. Hopefully, the girls and I will have our own happy families by the time we get to where Nanette is in life. Either way we don’t want to be Nanettes.

WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD FOR NANETTE?

It’s a lonely life if Nanette will just continue to fleet around from one MD to another. None of her boy toys love her for real. They only love her purse. On the other hand, it’s possible that Nanette is not looking for a real relationship. Maybe she only wants affection and occasional companionship—and maybe sex, too.

In any case I do hope Nanette finds peace and happiness. If there’s a man close to her age who will fall for her (and not her money) then all the better. We all deserve a shot at happiness. Even Nanette does. I hope she finds her real, lasting happiness.

 

GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN: ALL FOR A GIRL (Special Topics 25)

I heard through the grapevine that Gabriel slashed himself. The young, tall looker hurt himself purposely.  He’s alive, thank goodness.  And he’s working again.

GIRL TROUBLES

Why did Gabriel do that? Was he tired of life? No, not really.  Gabriel was upset over a girl.  The girl was not just a girl, I heard. The girl was a G.R.O. (guest relations officer) from the top girly bar in Quezon Avenue.  The girl was apparently a former regular of Gabriel.  They were an item at some point.

Then the G.R.O. one day decided to dump Gabriel.  The G.R.O. went to the gay bar and gave drinks to many MDs, Gabriel excluded.  The rejection and embarrassment hurt Gabriel so bad that he decided to slash himself.

SELF-DESTRUCTIVE STREAK

Gabriel is not the only MD I’ve met who has a self-destructive streak.  Lawrence does, too.  Lawrence told me that he once purposely drove his car into a tree when he was hurting over a heartache.  And that he once punched a wall continuously—yet over another heartbreak.

Lawrence admitted that he does self-destruct over his personal life a lot.  And that he sometimes hurts himself purposely in the process.

ALL FOR A GIRL

Luigi told me that he would never do to himself what Gabriel did.  Luigi said that only crazy people do that.  Good for him.  I told him I’ll hold him to his words and don’t he dare enlist my help should he ever self-destruct the way he said he never would.

For me, it is understandable that the young, impoverished MDs will be susceptible to self-destruction brought about by matters of the heart.  Romantic endeavors are something the MDs feel they can control compared to the other aspects of their lives. They then feel worse when things fall apart involving their significant others.

However, there really is no valid excuse to hurt oneself and to desecrate one’s body. Not even the loveliest G.R.O. in town is a valid reason.

I certainly hope I hear no more about MDs self-destructing over their love lives.

 

GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN: MAKING TIME FOR LUIGI

At long last Luigi and I were able to spend quality time outside Earthling. This time it was just me and him, big little bro and little big sis. No one else.  I’m glad I was finally able to deliver on my promise to my ‘adopted’ brother that he and will will have one on one bonding time. Luigi was back in town after being with his mother for a while and he contacted me immediately.  I wasn’t one to back out on a promise so Luigi and I got together.

FOOD GALORE

I initially thought of bringing Luigi to Chowking so I could put to test if a young MD like him would choose a lauriat meal (yes, I was influenced by G.B. Goer’s post entitled What’s with the Chicken Lauriat last May 6, 2011 in his blog Machos and Hostos ).  I changed my mind though.  I wanted to take Luigi somewhere more fancy. It wasn’t the time to experiment.

Luigi and I ate food he hasn’t had before.  He had bottomless soda as well and some cake.  Luigi loved the pizza.  After that restaurant, I bought him a gourmet burger to go so he could eat the double burger at 1 a.m. We then had some milk tea after.  It was food galore.  Luigi said he was too full after a while.  He had plastics of take out food as well since we were not able to finish the food.

SPOILED BOY

Luigi admitted he’s a tad spoiled since he’s the youngest child.  Growing up without a father didn’t help either.  Luigi walked about five minutes to our meeting place and he claimed he was already tired.  By the time he was going back to his work place, he claimed he couldn’t walk anymore.  I sent him off in a cab though Ella and I have tried walking a greater distance than what Luigi claims he cannot do by foot.

I told Luigi if he were my real brother I would bombard him with lectures haha!

A FRIEND, A BROTHER, A SPY

Luigi is all three to me: a friend, a brother and a spy. The spy part was mostly for Jessica’s sake.  Luigi is our eyes and ears when it comes to Ramon.  Luigi gives me updates about Jessica’s beloved Ramon which I in turn share to dear Jess.

Though I see him as a brother, I didn’t give Luigi a lecture when he smoked like a chimney over dessert.  I told Luigi he’s legally an adult and he knows what’s good for him.  I even helped Luigi ask a man for a light. Ha-ha!

Luigi and I talked about his future as well.  Luigi admitted he doesn’t want to study and hit the books.  He’s always loved dancing though.  We talked about a possible career as a dance instructor when he’s older.  Luigi knows he cannot be a macho dancer forever.

FAMILIAL TALK

Luigi and I talk without pretense.  We gossip about everyone and everything.  No pretense, no trying to be cute.  That’s refreshing.  We dwelled on the topic of making Luigi’s star shine as a macho dancer. Haha! Luigi said he’s going to take working out seriously.  We tried to envision possible hairstyles for him as well.

Conversation was a challenge for Luigi.  He’s really so young and he himself knows he can’t hold a candle to Carlo or Jonas when it comes to conversations skills.  We had a good laugh when I was pretending to be Nanette or Ramon’s special gay friend and Luigi was trying to talk to me.  Luigi said he has to learn how to suck up.

Luigi asked me about myself too.  We talked about my life somehow as well.

AARON MAKES HIS PRESENCE FELT

As I was getting ready to meet Luigi, Aaron called me.  He was talking about he left his phone charger in the car and hence ran out of battery and couldn’t text me earlier though he wanted to.  Blah blah blah.  I told Aaron I had to go and meet Luigi for dinner.  Aaron said I should have invited him.

While I was having dinner with Luigi, Aaron again made his presence felt and teased me that I was probably busy.  I told Aaron that I was with my ‘brother’.  Honestly, Aaron was not endearing himself to me all the more at that point.

Aaron had the audacity to ask me the day after where I had dinner with Luigi.  I gave Aaron a full account of the places Luigi and I went to.  Aaron’s comment was: “susyal!”  When Aaron found out I was not feeling well he commented that I had dinner with Luigi the night before then I didn’t feel well the next day.  Trying to blame Luigi, eh? Is Aaron a cooler, less noisy version of Keith?

LUIGI AS A CAUSE

Luigi could turn out to be a diamond in the rough.  He needs guidance though and it would do him well to be surrounded by people who will encourage him to be the best he can be.  With some confidence, guidance and a hell lot of working out, Luigi can succeed in life—as an MD or D.I. or whatever he chooses to be.  He’s young and he has his whole life ahead of him.

Luigi was so thankful to me after we parted ways.  He texted at 1 a.m. that he so enjoyed the burger.  I can’t do much for Luigi but what little I can do for him as my ‘adopted’ brother, I will.  I don’t mean financially though I probably can treat him to a few good meals now and then. Luigi knows I won’t spend big bucks on him but he knows I can be his ‘sister’ in the city and a friend to boot.

Right now Luigi is the only keeper I have from Earthling.  He’s the only one alive and kicking in Andrina’s book.  I hope he stays that way.  It will be painful to lose Luigi as an ally especially now that I really see him as a friend and adopted brother.
