seeing Emil again
Seeing Emil again- includes watching an adult film, strolling at the mall until we get tired, kuya-hunting.
Being gay can be difficult and complicated but it is fabulous and fun. What makes it more fabulous is having friends who are as fabulous as you. What makes it more fun is having someone like Emil as a friend. You read between the lines.
The Nicole Ritchie in my Paris Hilton (minus the fabricated rift), Emil and I have been friends for some time now. We were classmates since 2nd year high school and since then we have shared so many things- secrets, stories, beds, food, money, memories, boys. Now that we are in college, we seldom see each other. In fact, we have not seen each other since Summer Vacation.
I was so excited to see that biatch again (Ian, Dexter, Carmen, et. al., I am also excited to see all of you. Let’s have a reunion one of these days.) and so we planned to meet at Robinson’s and watch a movie, eat, have fun, make out. Just kidding!! Yuxxxxxxxxxxxx!! Hehehe!!
***Movie Trip***
We planned to watch Masahista. We were also planning to watch Dubai but RP does not show the film for some reason I don’t know. At first, Emil was hesitant to buy the tickets. Nakakahiya daw? But he cannot resist me so he went to buy the tickets for the two of us. The movie has already started when we entered the cinema.
Coco Martin is the masseur named Iliac while Jaclyn Jose is his mother
The movie is about a masseur named Iliac (Coco Martin). He is originally from Pampangga but he had to work as a masseur in Manila to support his family- his father is a dying playboy, while his mother, Jaclyn Jose, is a patient, loving, Tocino vendor. This is where the first problem of the movie lies. Sure, having a playboy father and a mother who only knows how to sell tocnios is equivalent to having a difficult life that’s why Iliac had to work. But it was not clear why he chose being a masseur. Walang evolution na pinakita. Masahista na sya agad.
The director and writer chose the stream of consciousness technique to present the movie. This is where a problem and a very strong point lie. The death of his father is supposed to have happened first before Iliac attends to a customer played by Alan Paule. But in one scene while Iliac was giving his customer you-know-what, he receives a text message saying that he has to go home because his father is in Coma. Or does he have two fathers? Hehe!! The strong point and my favorite scene in the movie is the parallelism between Iliac attending to his customer and Iliac attending to his dead father. He dresses up the naked body of his father while he strips his customer down.
Having been shown in International Films before it had its commercial run here. The film has subtitles in it. Another problem. The translation was bad. You can also read subtitles when in fact, the character did not say anything.
Katherine Luna as the Japayuki girlfriend of Iliac is hilarious in the movie. The gay manager of the joint was also funny when he offered a customer whose masseur had an asthma attack because of baby powder, he said, “Pili na lang po kayo dito. Ito po oh. If you want hard, he is harder.”
Over-all, if you are looking for flesh, a male frontal maybe, then you’ll see it here. There are also a lot, I mean a lot of butt exposures in this film. But if you want to see a movie that will require you to think, then this is not the movie to watch. The social relevance aspect was also downplayed in this movie.
Please do not watch this film at Robinson’s Place Manila. The tickets cost 110 bucks and you expect to get decent seats. It turns out that the seats are not the cushioned ones they have in some of their cinemas. They are still the old ones with surot maybe. It can also be seen that some callboys were already waiting for customers inside the movie house. Ginawang advertisement yung pelikula para sa gains nila. Hehe!!
***Stroll Trip***
Emil and I ate at Sbarro after the movie. The foreigners who were in the line after me sure reeked. Ewwwe!! We saw Rap at Human and at Powerbooks. Rap, invite mo si Emil sa friendster ha?! Hehe!! We also bumped into Maude and Tina before we decided to go home. I miss those girls!! Maude has a boyfriend now!! I am very happy for you, girl!!
Go find your princes while I find my frog and contemplate at how much I spent yesterday!! God bless us all!!
