Special ... Gifted

I was with my cousins today, just got home actually. We've watched Ms. Gay (a beauty pageant) to give moral support to a friend who was one of the contestants. Ms Gay is one of the most awaited event of the town’s fiesta that’s why though it was raining so hard the show has go on and as expected, the venue (covered court) was jam-packed. The crowd was shouting and so on that you can't even hear yourself when you talk; there was never a moment of silence not even a second. It wasn't a problem then.

Just like any other beauty pageant, the candidates have introduced themselves, posed with their gowns, swimsuits as well as other attires on and presented their talents too (if they have one).

Talent portion was fun and exciting; there was dancing, singing, acting and the best and most unique of all was my friends’ that made him won the best in talent award. He knows all the capital cities and flags of the world (colors, symbols and so on). Volunteer/s from the audience has given the chance to ask him the capital city of whatever country she/he has in mind. With regards to the flags, judges gave brief description or how it looks like and he confidently answered it all. Amazing! We’ve been friends since elementary. I knew how smart and intelligent he was but I never thought he’s got extra talents too. He really was admired by at least half of the viewers but it doesn’t end there. He has also won the judges and the viewers during question and answer portion. He has given a simple yet best and precise answer to the question “Homosexual relationships and heterosexual relationships are equally valid. Do you agree?”.

I have to admit it, my gay friend has nothing more to show compared to the others when it comes to beauty. He's got brains but don't have the looks yet has managed to stay in the competition. He was crowned as 1^st runner up “Ms Gay Fire” I think. It's fine then though I'm a bit disappointed.
