Not a Gay Birthday for Gay

It's my friend Gay's birthday today. Unfortunately I don't think it will be a very gay one for her because her boyfriend just recently broke up with her... I think. I say "I think" because he wasn't even man enough to give her a call or even just a text about it. He just disappeared. What a jerk! The guy works in Korea and he had taken a vacation in the Philippines last April and he and Gay met a couple of times in Manila. Then he went home to his province and they were communicating okay for a week then she couldn't reach him anymore. She was in denial about it at first, worrying that something bad had happened to him. Then after three weeks of this, she saw that his Friendster status had changed and that he had deleted all the pictures of her that used to be there. Ouch.

I feel so bad for Gay because this is the second time that this has happened to her. Although her first relationship was also long distance and did not work out, I really thought that this second one would as I blogged here because Gay comes from a family where everyone was in a long distance relationship, including her parents, and they all worked out fine. But I was wrong.

On the day that I read Gay's email about this, I happened to stumble into Taylor Swift's song for her ex Joe Jonas and I realized that this song is so perfect for Gay. It used to be perfect for me, too, but now I'm past that moment, so I'm confident that someday, Gay will be past it, too.
