Beer

by Itchyworms

Nais kong magpakalasing dahil wala ka na
Nakatingin sa salamin at nag-iisa
Nakatanim pa rin ang gumamelang
Binalik mo sa kin nang tayo’y maghiwalay
Ito’y katulad ng damdamin ko
Kahit buhusan mo ng beer ayaw pang mamatay

Giliw, wag mo sanang limutin
Ang mga araw na hindi sana maglaho
Mga anak at bahay nating pinaplano
Lahat ng ito’y nawala nung iniwan mo ‘ko kaya ngayon

Ibuhos na ang beer sa aking lalamunan
Upang malunod na ang puso kong nahihirapan
Bawat patak anong sarap
Ano ba talagang mas gusto ang beer na ito o ang pag-ibig mo

Nais kong magpakasabog dahil olats ako
Kahit ano hihithitin, kahit tambutso
Kukuha ako ng beer at ipapakulo
Sa kaldero’t lalanghapin ang usok nito
Lahat ay aking gagawin
Upang hindi ko na isiping nag-iisa na ako

Last Saturday was Ading’s birthday party. A and I were supposed to meet in Galleria at 8pm and he was late. I texted him around 7:30 pm to ask where I would wait for him and he didn’t respond. It was already 8 pm and he still wasn’t responding… I got a little worried so I called him at home. His mom answered the phone and said he left the house around 2pm and when I asked if she knew where he went, she said “secret.” Haha! Then I called M and asked if he knew where Awas and he said A told him he’d meet me in Galleria and thought he was already there. Sus! Yun pala his phone was on silent mode and he didn’t hear it when I called. So he arrived around 8:20 then we went to Ading’s party in Valle Verde 3. G and Gari were already there, I introduced him to them and inuman na! There was a mini bar and they were serving shooters in different colors, what exactly were there in those drinks I never knew. Haha! we started drinking draft beer and after a while I started going to the bar to get some shooters and brought it back to our table. A and Gari tasted some and described it as Albatross and all the other air fresheners, meron pang My Shaldan and Aqua Net. Haha! Of course they were just trying to gross me out but it wasn’t effective. The shots actually tasted good and most of it, you wouldn’t even taste the alcohol in it. Sobrang halo-halo ininom ko, all I could remember were tequilla, vodka and lambanog… and of course my ever reliable SMB draft beer. There was this brown thing pa that looked like chocolate and they made me drink a tequilla slammer and one flaming shot. And the bartenders were nice, they were patient enough and kept repeating their concoctions because I’d ask them over and over and kept forgetting. Haha!

Ading was so funny. She kept singing and would call people on the mic and say different funny comments like “B, o upo ka lang dyan” and meron pang one time “A, you look bored. B kiss mo muna!” Haha! Kakahiya! Para siyang nagro-roll call and nobody dared sing on the mic except her and a few close friends who didn’t show their faces while singing. And after awhile don na ko sa bar umiinom. The bartenders would give me different kinds of shooters and there’s this girl named Richie, nilalaseng yata ako… pa-shot ng pa-shot pero once lang niya ko sinabayan. Haha! Funny thing was A knew how much shooters I had… he counted it and he was able to even if I was way over to the bar and he’s on our table. I had daw at least 30 shooters. And when they were already closing the bar, the waiters were transferring the leftovers in glasses and I drank pa daw one whole glass, I don’t know which one or what flavor, hindi ko na siya actually naalala. Basta alam ko lang I spent too much time on the bar. Haha! Kaya ayon laseng.

We were the last ones to leave the party, kwentuhan muna with Ading, a little senti but it was still fun. I missed those guys sobra! And then AA and I went home. The next day, when A woke up he saw my clothes from the night before scattered on the floor. He laughed at me and said pati clothes ko laseng. Haha! Then he had to leave early because his brother would be attending a wedding and he’s going to use the car. I walked him to his car and that’s when he told me how much shooters I had. Natawa talaga ko kse binibilang niya!

I hope this time I’ll be able to post photos. I don’t have photos when DA and I met last month. I didn’t bring my camera then and he lost his camera in the airport. Sayang! But this time I asked Ading to send me hi-res copies of the photos so hopefully I’ll be able to share them with you.

On Wednesday, I’ll be going to A’s house for his birthday. I’ll help him prepare the food so I’d be there early, after lunch siguro. And of course sleepover ako because malamang senglot na naman ako. Haha! Medyo shy lang ako because I think I’ll be the only one from our barkada who will be there and the rest will be A’s friends from their village, lahat sila puro boys. Okay lang, I think they’d seen me drunk na din mga twice or three times. Haha! I hope pumunta din si Doc.

TTFN! Til my next drunk tale!
