Weekend With Andre

Status: SICK! TONSILITIS! My first this year.
Music: Mad – Ne-Yo | Poker Face – Lady GaGa

Last year, my friend Andre introduced Diego to me. And right then, I fell in love. Diego was just soooo nice and cool and fashionable and affordable. Oh, sorry, I’m talking about the store. DIEGO Store.

Their items, especially their pullovers and shirts were so cute. The best thing about it is that since it’s not that popular yet, you don’t have to worry about being in the same place with someone wearing the same shirt. Exactly the reason I stay away from popular lines like Penshoppe, Bench, Folded and Hung. I don’t usually care about fashion, but it happened to me once. I was wearing Bench and I ran into a guy who was in the same shirt. Gaaaah, mortifying.

Last Friday (8pm), Andre and I dropped by the Mall of Asia to grab a gift. And we came across a new shop — FOX. And whoooah, I looove the store. It excites me in ways that only sex does. It’s an Israel-based fashion chain. They have really, really pretty items there, and they are not costly!

My conscience tells me I must come back. Yeah, coz my conscience is gay like that.

Saturday, 1am.

After the party. Somewhere around BF Homes in Paranaque.

Andre: You wanna kill time at Starbucks?
Yoshke: Eeeh. I don’t wanna spend anymore. I have a couple of gift certificates from my boss but I left them at home.
Andre: Oh, you don’t need gift certificates. You just need me.

Huwaaaw. That’s me being a friend with benefits. LOL.

Saturday, 6pm

While on the train to my apartment. Andre spotted a cute CILF (Commuter I’d Like to Fu… er… poke. yeah, Commuter I’d Like to Poke). Make that CILP.

Andre: Confirmed. That guy is gay.
Yoshke: How’d you know?
Andre: He’s wearing Folded & Hung.

Wahahahaha. WTF.

Sunday, 11:30pm

Along Tomas Morato. Andre and I just had dinner. But he wanted a cup of coffee. Off to Starbucks. I waited outside. When Andre emerged from the store, he had a certain glow.

Andre: (still glowing) There were too many cute guys at Starbucks. Didya see?
Yoshke: Yeah.
Andre: And they were all staring at me; I was like “Waitamoo guys, one at a time!” Hindi ko kayo kaya nang sabay-sabay!

One time last year

Andre, Frances and I were somewhere in Araneta Center trying to find a good place to pig out.

Frances: In fairness sa’yo Andre, you blossomed after the breakup. You have popped out of your cocoon . You transformed!
Andre: So I used to be a caterpillar?
Yoshke: No, you were a maggot.
Andre: And now?
Yoshke: Now you’re a… faggot.

    Heh. This made me smile.

    Tell your friend Andre that I’d like to borrow his line, “Oh, you don’t need gift certificates. You just need me.” Alavit. :)

    • Yoshke

      i dont need to tell him, he visits this blog. :P

  2. VinS

    Now you mentioned Diego, I’m pretty sure sisiskat na ang store na yan,

    • Yoshke

      haha, hindi naman siguro vins! :P

  3. gilbert

    hehe, kulit ng mga friends mo.

    • Yoshke

      IKR! :P masaya sila kasama, witty sila, at lagi nila akong binibigyan ng materials for this blog nang hindi sila aware. haha

  4. Will

    Haha. I went shopping this weekend too with some friends. It’s a breath of fresh air to shop with other guys who enjoy shopping for clothes like I do instead of going myself. Shopping and checking out fellow shoppers is the best. I can finally wear clothes I wanna wear and it’s exciting. :P I wouldn’t mind headin’ to your mall. I wonder if the style/trends in clothes there is different than here in the states.

    • Yoshke

      that’s the thing, I actually dislike shopping. :P I’m just the type of person who buys something he likes impulsively.

      Andre loves shopping, though. Loves it like mad.

  5. pao

    you should also try 101 NEW YORK. they have outlets in megamall and landmark. nice clothes and new designs. hindi siya mainstream unlike bench and talagang cutting edge ang style nila. so new york! hehe.

    nagiging stereotypical gay clothing nga ang f&h. e pano ba naman, kung pumunta ka sa store nila, mega overdrive ang gaydar mo! and let’s face it, they cater naman talaga to the pink market. but i don’t like their designs anymore. dati maganda, ngayon deteriorating na. nagiging bench na sila..just for the sake of selling clothes. :(

    • Yoshke

      TRUE! 101 NEW YORK. pero mas mahal sya eh.

      OK din yung BSX!

      TOTOO! Sasabog ang gaydar mo sa F&H. Grabe. haha

      • Kevin

        At least merong store na nagke-cater para sa atin. Pero hindi pa ako nakakabili ng kahit ano dun. Haha. Nasa Timog pala ako last Sunday! I was with a friend, dinner lang sa Marina. Nag-aaya siya ng coffee kaso I didn’t want to have any coffee. Hindi ko alam kung bakit. Tsk. Nakita ko sana kayo ni André sa Starbucks. Hehe. :)

        Pero, hhmmm, ilang beses kami dumaan sa Starbucks eh. Hindi kaya andun na kayo. Lemme check. Hehehe

      • Yoshke

        ako rin, walang anything na F&H.

        Sandali lang kami sa Starbucks kasi to-go lang naman yung coffee.

        Malapit lang dun apartment ko. At madalas ako sa Timog-Tomas Morato Area. Sa Gloria Jeans ako nakatambay parati. haha

        • Kevin

          Saan dun ung apartment mo? Can I drop by? LOL

        • Yoshke

          somewhere there. :P basta sobrang lapit lang dun.

        • Kevin

          Saan nga?!?!?!?! Hahaha. :D

        • Yoshke

          wag na alamin. haha

        • Kevin

          Walang sikretong hindi nabubunyag. Hahahaha! :P

  6. the amateur ear

    There’s a branch near my gym.

    Is that in mega?

    • Yoshke

      the pic? yes. i think sa megamall yan. :)

      Slimmers’ ang gym mo?

  7. ced

    hello! first time ko din pla dito. salamat sa pagdaan last time=p

    that happened to me too. yung may makapareho ng damit, good thing i have a jacket then. and that was my epiphany to buy somewhere else. hehe. parang di ko pa kayang bumili sa diego. can i borrow Andre? para makatry din ng diego? aheheh or kahit coffee? ahehe

    ingats palagi!=p

    • Kevin

      Uuuyy! He wants André! Char! :D

    • Yoshke

      CED, sige, ipapahiram ko si andre! Kelan mo gusto? Hahaha. Kahit wag mo na ibalik.

      KEVIN, haha, nang-iintriga ka ha. gumagawa ka ng love team. Haha. Hinahanapan ko nga ng kaloveteam yun eh.

      • Kevin

        Ayun naman pala eh. Hinahanapan mo ng ka-loveteam si André, eh di si Ced na lang. Hahaha

      • Yoshke

        haha, sana magkakilala sila di ba? :P

      • Kevin

        Uso naman ang pagpapakilala di ba? :P

        • ced

          hala! hiram lang po ah! haha
          tapos wala pang balikan? ahaha

        • Kevin

          Come on Yoshke! Type nga ni Ced si André! Hahaha

        • Yoshke

          CED, hindi nga, seryoso ka? haha. Seseryosohin ko yan, ichechever kita ke Andre. haha

        • ced

          ahaha!
          may magagalit e. kaya hiram lang kung pwede. hehe

        • Yoshke

          Nakow! Problema yan, may magagalit pala.

        • Kevin

          Ay serious nga si Kuya. Hehehe. :D

          @Yoshke: You might wanna ask André kung OK lang sa kanya na third party siya. Char! :D

          Third party? WTF?! Hahaha. :D

          Pero personally, ayoko maging third party. Makakapatay ako galit.

        • Yoshke

          hindi okay kay andre yun for sure. haha

        • Kevin

          Naman! Hehehe

          @André: If you’re reading this, wag ka sasama kay Ced unless wala na sila nung magagalit. HAhaha

          @Ced: Peace out! :D

  8. ron

    almost every one blossoms after a break up from a bad relationship, don’t you think? hehe!

    • Kevin

      Uhm. Not at all times, pero ngayon, I think I’m OK. :D

    • Yoshke

      RON and KEVIN, I’m not really sure. :P

    • Kevin

      Hindi rin naman ako sure parati, pero ngayon, mukhang OK naman ako after ng ‘draining relationship’ ko. Hahaha

  9. R!#%$!#@

    Funny, I don’t own a single article of clothing from F&H

  10. gravity

    • Yoshke

      aaaaaw. UWI KA NA! Dali! Now na! haha :P

  15. andreEeEe

    O. Ang funny ko pala…?

    BTW, it was you who introduced me to Diego. Not the other way around as you claim it to be. REMEMBURRR??? We were meeting at Mega. And I was eternally late so you went around while waiting for me. Then you saw Diego. Then you brought me there.

    K?

    • Yoshke

      WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

      TRUE! TRUE! TRUE!

      It was me who found it first and introduced it to you. hmmmmmmmm

  16. Barry

    man, i like folded&hung! im wearing it. lol.

    but penshoppe i think is more gay?

    • Kevin

      I don’t think so. Penshoppe is much like Oxygen, astigin tignan. F&H “is” gay. :D

    • Yoshke

      I like Oxygen! I just hate their billboards.

      • Kevin

        Sakto lang naman ung billboards nila ah. :?

  17. maccallister

    haha same reason i stay away from bench and penshoppe!!!

    yeah u are right folded and hung are gay’s choice of clothing lately and they hang out at starbucks!hehehe

  18. Kevin

    Ako, I’m so into Bench. Fortunately though, wala pa naman akong napuntahan na place na may kapareho akong Bench ensemble. Hehehe

  19. Elyong

  22. Vicki*

    Yoshke: No, you were a maggot.
    Andre: And now?
    Yoshke: Now you’re a… faggot.

  25. berg

    weee i love Diego, their shirts are so comfy.

    weee i like Andre na. parang sarap kaibiganin haha.

    i missed this blog, yosh! sa wakas nakabalik rin ako dito

  26. tristan

    yeah, i tried buying clothes from both new york 101 and diego. they’r both nice stores and not that popular among many so small chance of having someone wearing the same garments as you do. and they’re both affordable. maybe a bit more costly than penshoppe and bench but hey, it’s worth it!!! and yeah, f&h is like, uh, so gay…

  27. The Lady in Green Ruffles

    bad romance

HEADACHE On the way to my boss's house for a little booze session last Friday night, I couldn't help bitching about my terrible headache. I was sitting in the backseat with Mads. Yoshke: Gaaaahd, my head aches like hell. Mads: Why? Yoshke: I dunno. But the street lights hurt my eyes, too. Everything's too bright. And it sends my ...
