The Blue Society

To unite for a common purpose and expand one’s reach is probably one of the driving forces that bond people to form groups. Regardless of the place, one’s desire to be understood and accepted is a constant battle to be won. And when one finds his animos’, he feels strengthened… he feels empowered.

In the desolate kingdom, one powerful group exists. Its stretch is so vast, its network so extensive, members know the exact dates of arrival of new batch of young boys coming from Manila. Its power’s so great, these young boys easily come under the spell of the members. I am talking about the Blue Society, a virtually existing group composed of people working under HR, manpower sourcing, and administration department of different companies. They bond themselves together for a common purpose, to source out fresh meat and secure themselves “take-home’s.”

Like any other groups, the Blue Society has its rules of conduct. Though unwritten, if one decides to break the protocol, he is bound for some sad and painful consequences. Take the case of certain Muraj for example. When he decided to take the shortest route, he ended up with… a blackeye. Want to know the details? Read on:

Muraj is known as one snub administrator. But he has noticeable affection with newly hired (newly arrived) employees, especially with cute ones. In one instant, he even fought his way to have a particular cutey hunky newly arrived guy to be assigned together in his room in their accommodation area at the camp. People in the place discount any possibilities that he is gay since Muraj is a member of majority religious denomination. Indeed, a perfect advantage in terms of disguise.

Blue Society would usually prescribe to take things slow. After all, life in the desert requires no haste and urgency. Accordingly, if one is to live his life in that side of the planet, then he has to learn micro programming – the ability to break down task into a rather smaller component.

But Muraj disregarded the prescribed program and decided to take thing in his hand. And I mean… the thing in his hand.

One night, while everybody’s in deep slumber, Muraj went down from their double-decked bed. He looked contemptuously at the boy sleeping under him over and over. From some nights’ observation, he learned that Danilo, the name of the boy, sleeps with no undies or anything on. Against blinding darkness, Muraj meticulously scanned the area where he thought Danilo’s Tweety Bird might be docking.

And for the love of heaven and earth, he found it!

But the inertia isn’t at rest. In fact, Tweety Bird’s fighting stance seemed proud and ready to wrestle. Fever came over Muraj amidst the cold wind of the A/C. His resurging bodyheat seemed to be winning, and he couldn’t take it anymore.

“I have to touch it… I have to feel it,” he’s telling himself.

“But what if… it's only been days since we know each other...” lot of things were going on his mind.

“But this is the perfect time…,” he convinced himself. “I will catch Tweety Bird whatever it takes”, his resolve.

So slowly Muraj inched his way to the perfectly still body. And while he tried holding his breathe to stop his now shaking hand, he managed to gently grab Tweety by the shaft. And then…

“Powww!!!” a deafening blast. A sound when a fist strikes hard the wall of one’s ear. Reminds me when Pacquiao hits a knock-out.

From following morning onwards, Muraj seemed to have been suffering from paranoia. He couldn’t tell why people in the office seem to be smirking and talking things behind his back. Is it because his right ear suffered damage that his hearing’s got twisted? Probably. It was his only consolation.

This is what happens when one shoots up and greedily takes short-cuts. Be that as it may, the Blue Society does not deny privilege of becoming a member.

So long as you have the patience and persistence to take things slow, the tolerance in seeing your resources drain from buying these boys food and celfone loads, or from giving them some transpo allowances, and the resilience to accept occasional blows, then you’re qualified.

Hard-court boys

It was revealed through a dream…

One Friday morning, after a basketball game, the boys from different companies gather together to pass through what they call fitness routine. After a long hard-game deserving of at least P50 riyals bet from each member of the team, the winning players, still high-spirited from the sport, boldly took off their clothes and hit the shower.

There would have been no malice. After all, everyone in the cubicle is the same man with the same passive tool… well for a while.

Rugged men usually make fun of a lot of stuffs. And a story one’s unusual sexcapade is but one of them. Amidst all shouted conversation, a low-whispering voice did not slip an all-intent ear.

The voice asked a certain Raffy if he’s involved with Erwin. Raffy had to ask if the voice was referring to is the one working in Java Lounge. And when the name was confirmed, Raffy admitted Erwin’s a trip buddy. Another low but excited voice from the right wing asked “what’s a trip buddy?” And Raffy had to extend a mile-long explanation using similes and metaphors, with "biological necessaries" as justification.

While a Socratic learning was on-going, the entire Etihad gym fell silent as if caught in the middle of a twilight zone. Meantime, the soap suds together with the trickles of water from the chrome shower heads started to perform a ceremonial rite. Slowly, poles started arising... and something had to be done in order to complete a morning ritual of taking off the re-surging bodyheat. Well, boys will be boys...

The boys went to the locker room and started packing their bags with painted smiles on their faces, after which an exchange of numbers galore ensued.

Did I mention that this story was revealed via dream. Here’s why.

One of the boys during that hot shower learning session is a regular visitor of a gay accountant in Saudi. In one of those stay-for-the-night time, a discovery was found. The boy is a somniloquist, the one that talks while sleeping.

And so the benevolent letter-sender shared this story upon unconscious revelation of the young man, and so with other happenings that have been taking place since they started exchanging contact details. But I could not tell you any further. For they were so hot, they burned my laptop…..

Indeed, secrets have uncanny ways of revealing their self-made mystery.
