30 Boys in 30 Days

My friend and I were chatting over coffee one fine sunny day in Manila when he posed a challenge.

"Tristan, 30 Boys in 30 Days."

I laughed.

"Seriously?", I asked.

"Kaya mo?"

I smiled to hide what was running through my head.

"Kaya kung sa kaya... pero gusto ko ba?", I asked myself.

You see, back in the good old days of pokpok Tristan, that number would have come in a snap. Madali naman akong kausap. Besides, I know what I am capable of. But, the thing is, I have changed. Pakibaba ang kilay sa nagmamalinis. It's true, trust me.

But my dear friend made it even more difficult. I am sure this has nothing to do with the people who work for this industry and I am certain that my friend did not mean to offend anyone. He wanted to know if I can still swing it if there was this condition:

"30 Boys in 30 Days. No one from the BPO industry.", he finally said.

My jaws dropped.

"Eh sino na lang natira?"

The Tristan I now know would just brush off such challenge. I think you have become calculating to go back to the person you once was.

Would you bite the deal? What good would it do?

I hope not.

Interesting challenge. My ex-bff once had a banner year: 365 days, a different guy each day minimum. Which meant there were days when he had more than one, thus exceeding his daily quota. The task was accomplished heroically, and it cemented his well-deserved rep as the village harlot.

So, 30 Days. I have no doubt in my mind that you're more than up to it, Tristan, but that would be begging the question.
