Stories for Grandmom: Booman

It seems like since I’ve joined UN-Habitat, my life after work has revolved around birthday parties and free food, which means NO ROOM for dieting. Today was just the perfect day to not go vegetarian and follow my diet track, given I’ll be in Thailand for the weekend starting from tomorrow and I won’t be back until Tuesday. There’s so much food so why don’t I just eat it all?

Work has been all admin work and minute writing the whole day today. Running around and getting things done JUST TO GET myself contracted. I got to read the referee letters from BigSis and ToyBoss and it made me teary. It does seem like I did a pretty good job since they both wrote over the top good shit about me. It was also nice to see ToyBoss again today, when I went to her house to get her signature for the ref. paper. Le sigh. I know I’m not that bad but it’s so hard for me to take compliments at times it made me teary to see words expressed about me in more than positive ways.

The night ended with SitarBro’s daughter’s second year birthday. She’s so big for her age but she’s so so adorable. I do love SitarBro’s family! I was surprised to see GrandDad at the hotel lobby with Grandmom. It so happened that my driver was not working tonight but I didn’t complain. I guess it was nice to see me get picked up by my grandparents sometimes.

Forgot to blog about this yesterday but I had a deep conversation with Grandmom last night. I told her about Booman, and I told her how I won’t be homeless when I get to Sydney, how I really love him and want to spend my life with him until the end and how I know his family members and talk with his stepmom. My grandmom seems to be grasping the fact that I’m gay. It kinda made her feel relieved when I told her just because I’m gay it does not mean I want to be a girl. There are many types of gay men and I happen to be one of those who still stick to my masculine side and like men for being men. It was nice to be talking about Booman to Grandmom, not having to pretend Booman is a girl anymore. My trip to Burma this time round has been great to be honest.
