how do you cool your lips after a summer’s kiss
how do you rid the sweat after the body bliss
how do you turn your eyes from the romantic glare
how do you block the sound of a voice you’d know anywhere

i really should have known by the time you drove me home
by the vagueness in your eyes, your casual good-byes
by the chill in your embrace and the expression on your face
that told me you might have some advice to give on how to be insensitive

how do you numb your skin after the warmest touch
how do you slow your blood after the body rush
how do you free your soul after you’ve found a friend
how do you teach your heart it’s a crime to fall in love again

you probably won’t remember me, it’s probably ancient history
i’m one of the chosen few who went ahead and fell for you
i’m out of vogue, i’m out of touch, i fell too fast, i feel too much
i thought that you might have some advice to give on how to be insensitive

Went to Tayuman again last Saturday to get my client’s album. As always, the girl did not follow my directions. Hay nacoo! After that we had lunch at Don Henrico’s in Tomas Morato. Nothing beats Don Henrico’s Buffalo Wings! Yum-O!!! And then I waited for AA to arrive. When he got here, kwento-kwento muna with my sis then he played a little with the kids, then I did his franchise primer while he napped. Around 12mn, we went out to buy some beer. We bought 2 bottles of the Red Horse Litro and two small ones (Happy Horse). CO was online that time so we chatted with him in YM. It was fun, it’s like the three of us hanging out together again, except that CO is really miles away. We bought beer again, two more bottles of Red Horse Litro and one Happy Horse. I remember punching him on his left arm lots of times and we even played bunong braso. Haha! I think he was trying to prove that he’s strong and he is. Funny thing, parati akong nagrereklamo na tinutulugan niya ko pag lasingan and that night he didn’t sleep. We ditched CO and we had a serious drunk talk. I don’t know how many times ko siyang minura. Basta I remember telling him “T@#$&%^ mo AA” or “F#&$ you AA!” lots of times. Parang he desperately wanted to be close to me, like how I am with my other close guy friends, three in particular, DA, OC and CO. He told me he loves me a number of times but every time he did dinudugtungan ko ng “but only as a friend.” I really can’t remember what we talked about but our conversation left me feeling more depressed and frustrated. And then…

The following day (Sunday) he was supposed to go home early so he could watch Pacquiao’s game at a friend’s house who has pay-per-view. But he chose to stay and kept me company the whole day. He asked me a couple of times if I wanted to talk about last night but I declined, telling him that there’s no point in talking about it anymore. I don’t know if he wanted to hear something from or if he’s really concerned or if he’s just worried that I might not do his primer. I could tell he was a little worried because I was quiet the whole day and wouldn’t answer his questions. He went home around 7pm. I finished his primer and emailed it to him last night, along with another email telling him how I really feel after last night.

Drunk Tales: I learned something new this weekend. In every case of Red Horse Beer, there’s this one bottle which they call Happy Horse. It’s said to be much stronger than the regular Red Horse bottles. AA showed me how to look for it… with the regular bottles, the print at the back is color yellow, on the Happy Horse, the print is color red.
