He Kept on Burning Friendships

Pretty Gay PG was the toast of the country after he won a big and prestigious contest. Suddenly, he was all over, appearing on television guestings, granting interviews – living the life of an accomplished celebrity.

PG's victory brought him not only fame and money but also friends, especially Rich Gay friends – something that PG allegedly gets excited about. Reportedly, these rich gays became his new friends after he became a major sensation.

Back then, not everyone knew that PG's climb to success was fought with much pain and struggle with family who could not accept, and almost disowned him. Fortunately, he had friends from his province, Real Friends RF who were with him from the very start when he was still a struggling nobody.

Reportedly, RF were the very people who helped him and gave him all the support, both moral and financial, so that he could join different gay contests in Manila. RF's knew how hard up PG was during those days, and they were the ones who pooled their resources so that PG would have nice costumes, gowns, transport fare to different contest venues.

When PG finally won that major contest, RF were the most ecstatic and happiest. PG thanked and acknowledged them for everything that they have done for him.

However, not long after, RF noticed that PG was slowly becoming detached towards them since. He was always not around when they would invite him for get-together or events. PG made no effort to reach out and reconnect. What hurt RF was that they felt PG was making them feel he no longer needed them.

Friends who were with him during his struggling days now feel dejected and unwelcome in PG's new world.

Reportedly, PG now prefers the company of RG - attending their parties and events, something he gets awed at many times. Seems like he likes their high society lives more than his old time RF in the province.

But if it was any consolation, one day, PG invited RF to Manila for dinner and catching up, and he set their date in a restaurant. RF excitedly went to the said venue and waited for PG. When they felt that PG was coming in late, they decided to order food already so they can eat while waiting for PG.

Alas, after hours of waiting, still no PG came. Turned out, PG would never really come – because he was busy socializing at a high-profile gay event with his "sosyal" gay amigas.

Meanwhile, the very disheartened RF had to dip into their pockets to pay for the dinner.
