A drizzling night

As if the cloudiness of the day was not enough, yet again I have
skipped breakfast.

It was drizzling last night, the golden arches a refuge in my head.
The phone was ringing heavily, pounding in my ears.

"Are you there yet?" says a voice, incognito but yet familiar.

At the same time, two bodies were getting lost in Sheung wan, the golden
arches their destination.

Threading the stairs, I was activating my only vessel to hear the
voice of reason, of intelligence and of pure love.

In my head, Oscar Wilde is gay. Dorian Gray is definitely his lover.

There was another character in this charade. A confused boy whose
responsibilities are greater than his age wishing for love
to find him.

The swift movement of the trees and dark corners of the park guided
me through as I descend the narrow roads.

It was nearly midnight, two lost souls, a love waiting and a responsible
boy all converging into one person.

And all I wanted was a burger.

It was a drizzling night.

Valentine of the Vanities

Hong Kong. The weekend debauchery is over.

What's left are remnants of what have been, what could have been and what will be.

Everyone had hopes, shared deeply among everyone.

We were a delightful mix of beautiful colors, every day and every hour was like an orchestrated symphony of colors and outfits, befitting the queen who was moonlighting as a city photographer gathering materials for his new blog,

Rajo - a friend for life, a lover to a friend, a mother to us all.

The explorers in us were struggling to get out, mapping the next country to conquer, counting the days when the rainbow ships will sail once more. Tokyo, New York and London- prime targets for the hopefuls and obviously financially enabled--it just suddenly occurred to me that Bob is really going to buy a watch worth a thousand Filipino mouthfuls--Manila, Bangkok and Shanghai were the next...

Azure- a memorable night, who ever thought this place could be the perfect setting for a Night of Debauchery 2- me and Angela did, the weekend before, bless my darling girl.

It was sinful to end the night as the fairies from all over gathered and strutted along the streets of Wyndham, a street name i could never remember, had it not been for Rajo and Nix getting lost.

I organized dinner the night before, Chinese it was and was so lovely, seconded by a spontaneous Valentine's junk trip-it never happened. Spasso was the replacement, the bar in which Bob, Roj and myself looked homeless, groping our worldly possessions, Prada, Ray Ban, Club Monaco and Giordano Concepts with our lean tanned arms, sans Bob's..

If not for anything, I tried to put some intellect to this highly fashionable afternoon- brushing up on my Spanish.

"Estoy calliente, papito!"

And just like that, I woke up to messages of gratitude and farewell... except for one.

Famous Quotes of Oscar Wilde




Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.

Genius is born--not paid.

A man can be happy with any woman as long as he does not love her.

I always like to know everything about my new friends, and nothing about my old ones.

Illusion is the first of all pleasures.

To where I will be

Do not stand at my grave and weep

I am not there i do not sleep

I am a thousand winds that blow

I am the diamond glimpse of snow

I am the sunlight on ripened grain

I am the gentle autumns rain

Do not stand on my grave and cry

I am not there i did not die

And when my heart speaks

Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, now and then joyfully, then sadly, waiting to learn whether or not fate will hear us - I can live only wholly with you or not at all

Yes, I am resolved to wander so long away from you until I can fly to your arms and say that I am really at home with you, and can send my soul enwrapped in you into the land of spirits

Yes, unhappily it must be so - You will be the more contained since you know my fidelity to you.

No one else can ever possess my heart - never - never - Oh God, why must one be parted from one whom one so loves. And yet my life in V is now a wretched life - Your love makes me at once the happiest and the unhappiest of men - At my age I need a steady, quiet life - can that be so in our connection?

Be calm, only by a calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together - Be calm - love me - today - yesterday - what tearful longings for you - you - you - my life - my all - farewell.

Oh continue to love me - never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.

ever thine
ever mine
ever ours
