[Situation: Where to find the reset, skip and mute button?]

Birthday Celebration. Engagement Party. Wedding Show and Job Expo.

No matter what event I go to, there will always be at least one person asking about my personal life, much more my non-existent married life. Can I just reset my life and start over again or skip this part of my life?

"Ikaw naman kasi bro. Bakit 'di ka na lang kumabit sa kung sino mang babae o binabae d'yan para tapos na ang usapan."

I glared at Aaron na ngayo'y nagpapakalunod na sa alak. We are at Allure for a gig. We haven't been able to play in a while due to work and personal affairs but tonight we're here to have fun, at least for me, I'll try to have fun.

"Gago. Kung ginawa niya 'yon damay ako." Aaron laughed at Aries's comment.

Other than myself, Aries's also being pressured to settle down and take over their business, while Aaron's being pleaded by his mother not to ever get married since he'll be no good.

"Edi maganda para matali ka na. Dalawa lang naman pagpipilian mo, karit ni kamatayan o tali ng kasalan. Pili na, you have 30 seconds to vote." Aries just smack Aaron's head. Siraulo talaga.

My mom and Aries's mom were friends or enemies in terms of 'who has the best son'. For some odd reason, they got acquainted at a party at someone's castle in Wales. From what I've heard they brag about the achievements of their sons when one tick-off the other and so it turned out to be a bragging competition on who's the best mother, businesswoman, artist, etc. And until now, they're still competing on who's the best.

"Just do your best to reject them bro. Parang awa mo na. Ayoko kong masaka- kasal. Kapag nalaman ni mama na nasaka- kasal ka na, dehado ang buhay ko dahil hindi lang sirena ng bumbero ang hahabol sa 'kin pati na mga palaka at tunog ng kinakalad-kad na yero," Aries plead.

"Is that what you call your women?" I asked

"No. But I've bedded a lot to know how they sounded. Isa pa kapag tumili sila gano'n din tunog na naririnig ko."

"Kaya pala tigang ka ngayon 'Ries,'' natatawang sabi ni Aaron.

"Gago. Ikaw ba hindi maiirita kapag parang kinakaladkad na yero ng bubong ang narinig mo sa ka-sex mo? Instead of 'Ohh' 'Ahh''Haa' became 'ribbit' 'ribbit' 'screech''ribbit'."

We laugh. Aries's luck in women are the worst. He's too sensitive to the sounds that a simple high-pitched from someone can turn him off even in the middle of pleasure. I don't even know how he managed to find a woman who has a pleasant moaning voice.

"Kung ayaw mong marinig ang boses nila bakit 'di mo na lang takpan. Sabihin mo S&M para spicy."

"Nah, I want to hear the voice of pleasure not pain."

"Pwede namang both sa S&M."

Aaron's the more adventurous type. He's always up to try new things as long as it's pleasurable. He likes playing games and his favourite type of women are those with long legs and big bust. The only similarities I have with him is the type. We both like tall and sophisticated women, hence why we date mainly models. Or should I say he only bedded mainly models and never dated anyone seriously.

Speaking of serious dating, Ace and I were the only ones who take relationships seriously. I used to be the only one but one thing led to another and Ace started to look at relationships more serious. He's still single but his heart already belongs to someone else so he's not entertaining anyone.
