I’m back! Yay! Well, not really yay… I’m back in Manila, meaning, back to reality. I hadn’t taken a rest yet when I got back on Monday night when my sis started telling me neverending stories about my family and how I wished I wasn’t back home yet. Sad! This is why I suddenly went on vacation with AA even though I planned to stay away from him. It was really crazy of me doing that but thought that I really needed that break and even CO agreed with me.

Sunday night, I thought it was okay for me to go online in YM cause AA never goes online on Sundays and his UncleJoe from the US is in town and I thought he’d be busy entertaining him. I suddenly got a message from him asking me if I’d want to go to La Union with them the next next day and would be back Friday. I had to laugh because it was already late and he’d pick me up very early the next day, then be gone for almost a week (not even sure if we’d be back Friday) so I thought he was joking. But he was serious and was waiting for an immediate response. I had no money, only had 4k in my ATM, and still had some unfinished work. But I said yes and thought that the change of environment might do me good since I’ve been feeling so down and depressed lately. Anyway, bago ko maiyak, on with the kwento…

Monday (May 19)
He picked me up at my house at around 7 am. Met UncleJoe for the first time, and his pinay girlfriend, Jess. They had a little chitchat with my dad then off we go. Our original plan was to go to La Union, spend maybe a couple of days there or so, then head off north to Ilocos. AA’s the driver and I was the navigator. We’re guided by my Lonely Planet books and my former editor, Jorge, who’s based in La Union. Traffic was good since it was Monday and everybody’s off to work already, except when we got Urdaneta, grabe, major traffic! And the area was still flooded from typhoon Cosme! Pinasok yung car ng water, buti na lang hindi tumirik! The ride was kinda funny because AA always got sleepy and we couldn’t even sing along with the songs on the radio because we were listening to UncleJoe’s MP3s and we didn’t know the songs. I needed to stop by an ATM pa cause all I’ve got was 500 bucks in my wallet. Every time we’d see BPI, ituturo lang ni AA but he wouldn’t stop saying that he’s not yet sleepy and he’d look again when he gets sleepy. Nangyayari naman every time we passed by BPI, he’s not sleepy so he wouldn’t stop and when he’s sleepy wala namang BPI. I was texting Jorge from time to time to ask for directions and he invited us over to his place for dinner. We got to La Union a couple of hours after lunch. AA went surfing while I took some rest. Then we headed off to Jorge’s place around 5pm. His place is really nice and he cooked Paella and potato salad for us. Natuwa sobra si UncleJoe kay Jorge because he’s really funny and he presented our dinner beautifully talaga. As in he set the table pa talaga as if there was a special event. He wrapped our utensils with the table napkin and tied it down with sequined band and put three different kinds of flowers in each set. He served dinner complete with red wine, canapés for appetizer and fruit cocktail dessert with mango cream on top and then he also prepared fresh green mango juice. After dinner, we headed back to Se-Bay (where we checked-in) and siempre inuman na kami ni AA. They have a resto downstairs, inside the resort and they have also have like a carinderia near the entrance. We had to go back and forth because they were only serving Red Horse in the carinderia. I didn’t count anymore how many beers I had, basta inom na lang ng inom.

Tuesday (May 20)
AA and UncleJoe left to buy breakfast at McDonald’s so I just hanged around the resto with Jess and tried to figure out how to check the balance in Smart Bro. Damn Smart Bro! We spent half of the day trying to figure it out. Jess pa forgot the password and we weren’t able to retrieve it. After breakfast, AA and I went back to San Fernando because McDo gave them only 2 Sausage Mc Muffins when they ordered 4. Then we also bought some load for the Smart Bro and UncleJoe’s cellphone. When we got back to the resort, AA cleaned the car. Grabe energy ni AA, ako ang napapagod sa kanya. When he was cleaning the car, I watched him lang. Natawa pa ko kse nagmamadali siya para daw ndi matuyo yung water. He asked me na banlawan yung isang side while he washed the other side. Bad ko, hindi ko tinulungan kse sabi ko ayaw kong mabasa. Haha! Ang role ko na lang was to turn off the faucet. Medyo malayo kse yung patayan. Haha! He also cleaned the interiors kse nga binaha and nagmo-moist at night and medyo nakukulong yung smell. After that, he went surfing again while I had some beer. Yep, instead of eating lunch, I had beer. They brought down Red Horses in the resto already, got myself two bottles (luckily one was a Happy Horse) then went back inside our room to take a bath and drink my beer. When I was going to return my bottles na, Jess and UncleJoe saw me and joined me in the resto. We took pictures of AA surfing then inuman na. We also invited oursleves to go back to Jorge’s place that afternoon for an early dinner. Before we left I had 5 bottles already kaya ang kulet ko na when we got to Jorge’s. This time he cooked carbonara and we brought some litson manok to go with it. We didn’t stay long because UncleJoe has a back injury and it was hurting already. When we got back to Se-Bay, siempre inom na kami ulit ni AA. After a couple hours of rest, UncleJoe and Jess joined us again. UncleJoe had fun watching us get drunk. Nag-brownout pa. Haha! Nalaseng si Jess and I was the one who took care of her (since ako yung girl) and helped her throw up and brought her back to their room. UncleJoe was thinking “Jess was drunk, B’s taking care of her and she’s drunk too… who’s taking care of B?” So he followed us in their room and kept laughing at us. Haha! I taught Jess how to force throwing up so she’d feel better when she sleeps. I even put a pail beside her bed in case she wanted to throw up while sleeping. Haha! Then I hugged UncleJoe goodnight and went back to AA. Aba ang lolo niyo inaway ako! I forgot na what he said basta nainis na lang ako kse parang nag-alaga na nga ako tapos pagbalik ko parang ako pa yung may ginawang masama. I threatened him that I’d go home that night kaya medyo tumahimik na. I couldn’t remember why niya ko inaway. Basta ang kulet ko daw but I really couldn’t figure out pano ko naging makulet. As in wala talaga kong ginagawa, I just helped Jess. Nung umiyak na ko, he decided we’d better go to sleep na. Takot siguro siya cause he knew I’d really go home alone kahit madaling araw na and laseng ako.

Wednesday (May 21)
AA laughed at me when I woke up, sobrang laseng ko daw… we just laughed it off pero deep inside I decided to just stay quiet the whole trip. I had at least 10 bottles of Red Horse the night before. I wanted to go jogging but I didn’t bring my shoes so si AA na lang ang nag-jog. After jogging, we went to Mcdo to get breakfast. Change of plan… AA was thinking about the drive home if we were to go to Ilocos Norte… that would be 12 hours and only him driving. So, we just decided to go to Baguio on Friday. I called my friend PS, who is from Baguio, to ask where we could buy some stash. Matagal na talaga kami naghahanap ni AA for UncleJoe. PS was still sleeping when I called, I woke him up and he told AA that he’s clean na for a year. I was like “Huh? What’s wrong? What happened to you?” Haha! He thanked me for the wake-up call cause he was supposed to wake up and go to work anyway. After breakfast AA surfed and then we watched NBA again sa carinderia while drinking beer. In the afternoon, we went to the mall in town so Jess could buy a swimsuit cause she wanted to go surfing. I saw this button pin that says “Shit! Ang baho mo!” Haha! Laugh trip ako sobra! When we got back to the resort, Jess wasn’t able to finish her 1 hour surfing lesson so AA finished her slot and then inuman na naman. Then for dinner, AA and I went back to San Fernando to buy pizza and inihaw na liempo. We walked around the town to look for other food but didn’t find any that looks good. And yes may baon pa kaming beer habang nasa town kami pero we left it inside the car naman. Haha! Natawa pa ko kse we were looking for something different naman for dinner. May naamoy kaming barbecue and hinanap namin but we didn’t find it. So we settled na lang na for the inihaw na liempo. The liempo came with a dip na dugo na parang liver spread yung consistency. First time I saw something like that and tasted it. AA asked the tindero what was it and the mama said it’s “siwsiwan” and we just thought he meant sawsawan. Na-intrigue tuloy ako kung yun talaga yung tawag or mali lang siya. Haha! When we were in the car, AA kept asking me if I was okay. I asked him why wouldn’t I be okay… wala lang daw, baka daw hindi ako okay. And then of course after dinner inuman na naman. I’m telling you… I drank more than I ate talaga. We would have two meals a day only, breakfast and early dinner… it’s up to me na if I wanted to eat lunch or not and I didn’t. It’s always beer! Beer in the morning, lunch, afternoon, dinner, after dinner.

Thursday (May 22)
AA and I went to Mcdo again to buy breakfast… yep, neverending Mcdo and Sausage McMuffins. We also saw this mamang bangka who sold freshly catched fish on the shore. AA bought 3 pieces of milkfish for only P50 and asked the resto to cook it for us. Siempre mas mahal pa yung paluto kesa dun sa bangus. Haha! There was a group of police who was having a conference on the resort kaya medyo we’re stuck on one corner. Nakinood pa kami ni AA ng NBA dun sa store sa kapitbahay because malabo yung cable sa Se-Bay. Lunch time, UncleJoe laughed at AA. There’s this guy kse from the resto, his name is Ed. Actually, night shift siya so he’s there to take care of us pag nag-iinuman. He even witnessed our fight the other night. So while we were having lunch that day, the police conference was on-going. When we were going to order drinks na, AA said he’d take care of it and then shouted “Ed!” Eh di siempre nagtinginan sa min yung mga police. Tawa ng tawa si UncleJoe, and it became a joke na whenever we wanted something, AA would say he’d take care of it and then he’d shout “Ed!” AA didn’t go surfing this time… napagod na siguro. Haha! That afternoon, we watched basketball, again, dun naman sa carinderia upstairs and again inom na naman. Wala nang Red Horse! Then AA and I went back to San Fernando again, this time to buy pineapples and mangoes. We were talking about fruits and UncleJoe suddenly craved for pineapples. He could finish a whole pineapple by himself. So we bought 2 pineapples, 1 for UncleJoe and 1 for the 3 of us. Then we also bought mangoes and also tried to look for tequilla cause Jess said she wanted it. And that’s for dinner, pineapples and mangoes and of course beer. Wala na ding San Mig Pale Pilsen! When AA asked Ed and Ed said na wala na, AA told Ed “Drop and give me 10 push-ups!” Again, naging joke na naman sa min that would last until Baguio. Haha! And since there’s no more Red Horse and San Mig Pale, AA went to the store next door to look for Red Horse. Natawa kami because he was so excited to tell me he got us Red Horse and sa sobrang excitement niya, he forgot that there was a hole on the sand, like a canal, and nahulog siya don. Hindi na sana namin malalaman pero kinwento pa niya. Grabe, sakit ng tummy ko kakatawa. Na-imagine ko lang kse na ang laki-laki niyang tao tapos nalaglag siya don sa hole and he was more concerned not to spill the 2 bottles of Red Horse he was holding. Hahaha!

Friday (May 23)
Mcdo again for breakfast and wala pa ding Red Horse and San Mig Pale… lasang water yung San Mig Light. We just had breakfast, then AA and I took a nap, watched NBA again sa carinderia and then prepared to leave for Baguio.

Remember how I mentioned in one of my posts how AA, CO and I take down notes while drinking so we could remember the next day what we talked about? Here’s another one of those notes and this time CB was with us. Again, it doesn’t make any sense but it’s funny. I don’t remember anymore from what year this is…

September 6

AA: Is that reasonable without doubt?
CO: A bit konti
CB: La Salista ka nga
AA: Ala eh, where’s my car?
(Nahulog yung pizza ni B sa floor - kinain pa niya, siyempre!)
AA: Manood na kayo, last episode na
AA: Magbayad ka ng P50, may cable ka na
(Sea Oil sa Tandang Sora walang liquor ban - meron but justifiable)
B: Cabalasa (Bicol Express)
AA: Taba, konti may pampalasa
AA: Pira is ilan not sira
B: Necking si CO at AA
CO: (to AA) Baka di ka makakalas sa kin
CO: (to AA and B) Pag walang tongue to tongue, walang friendship
B: CO and AA, tongue to tongue

Hahaha! Mind you, we’re very wholesome when we’re drinking… kunwari! Haha! I think this was the time when AA was still working in Bicol and he was trying to teach us some Bicolano words that he learned. And they wanted AA and me to kiss, so in turn I was kidding CO and AA to kiss. (They’re both guys! Hahaha!) Of course, they did not kiss. Sayang! Hahaha!

Here’s the sequel to my post the other day… Gimmik Evolution 1/2. Warning again: long post and the gross part is here. Hahaha!

So it’s Thursday and we were at MC’s place. But MC wasn’t there yet so we waited a little. When he arrived, he was surprised to see me. And his dad, TitoP, was also surprised and told me it’s been so long since I last went there. I’m already getting used to people asking me the same questions… where have I been and have I been up to. Haha! Our original plan for the day was to drop by MC’s place so AA could take a picture of the kiosk. They’re starting a small business and one of the kiosks is already built and AA wanted to see it so he could reproduce it at home.

So, we ate lunch, and MC’s wife, MrsMC, also went home from work so she could have lunch with us. So tambay lang muna after lunch and we watched a little TV and we planned na sumabay na lang kay MrsMC when she goes back to her office in Ortigas. MC drove her to work and on our way there, MC suggested na wag na kaming umuwi and inuman na lang daw after dinner. Hmmm… AA and I were just both quiet. I really wanted to go home already… imagine, I hadn’t taken a bath yet, I hadn’t brushed my teeth yet (just gargled some mouthwash before leaving AA’s house), I was still wearing the same clothes from the day before, and I didn’t have anything with me. AA also didn’t take a bath before we left his house (but he changed naman na his shirt from the night before, but not his shorts. Haha!). Ang tibay talaga ng damit ko! AA has no problem because he has a bag with a set of clothes, a towel, and a toothbrush. Boyscout eh, laging prepared. Kaines! So, he suggested he’d let me borrow the shirt he’s wearing, then he’ll wear the fresh one on his pack, then we’ll wash the shirt I was wearing. Then the next day, he’ll let me borrow again the shirt he’s wearing and he’ll wear my newly washed shirt. Teka, teka… parang lugi naman ako kse puro fresh shirts yung isusuot niya and mine would be the ones he already wore. Andaya talaga! Tawa lang siya ng tawa. Anyway, MC told me he’d let me borrow a shirt and he’ll give me aa unused toothbrush. My only problem na lang that time is what to tell my dad. I should’ve been home last night and I just sent him a text message that I’ll just go home the next day because it was already late. I couldn’t even call home because we just changed our number and I don’t know what the new one is. Haha!

Ayun, ganon na nga ang nangyari… nagpakita lang si MrsMC sa office sandal then alis na kami. We went to the grocery to buy some stuff for the kiosk then we went to the market to buy dinner. By the time we got back at MC’s place, it was already about 6pm and they started preparing for dinner. After dinner, inuman na!!! Haha! Madami kami, we were joined by MC’s friend and TitoP’s partners. So medyo business related ang conversation that night. Pass naman ng pass yung mga tao so 7 lang talagang umiinom. Then after awhile people started going home already… medyo oldies na kse eh kaya maaga nagsiuwi. And there were only 4 of us left on the table. Then came Ocho (let’s just call him 8 for short). 8 is MC’s childhood friend from the village. AA kept whispering to me that 8 looked sabog. Anway, ayun kwento kwento. I don’t remember anymore what we talked about. Haha! I remember na lang the last part of our conversation, MC was explaining to 8 and JP (MC’s friend also) that I hybernated from the group and he also shared his thoughts about it. Haaay… talaga yatang wala nang katapusan yang topic na yan. I tried naman to explain my side, ewan ko lang kung naintindihan pa ni MC sa kalasingan niya. Basta I’ll post also my conversation with AA in YM and you’ll read more about this conversation and 8, para lang ndi magkadoble-doble post ko. Haha!

AA went to sleep earlier than us, kse daw ubos na yung beer. So, okay sleeping time! Here comes the gorss part… After I don’t know how long, I suddenly woke up, then just sat down on the bed thinking. Then I suddenly felt I wanted to throw up. I just remained there sitting, pinapakiramdaman ko muna sarili ko. Then biglang ayun na! I knew I wouldn’t make it the bathroom (which is just beside the bed, btw), so nung nagsuka na ko, I just pulled my shirt over my face para hindi ako magkalat! Hahahaha! Siempre everything was all over my face and my hair! Kadiri talaga! So what I did was, I just took a bath. Kahit laseng laseng na ko, sige lang! Hahaha! Then I woke up AA so he could help me clean up MC’s shirt. Pabayaan ko na lang daw, okay lang daw yon. Nainis nga ako eh, kse parang walang care. He didn’t ask me if I was okay or if I wanted water or anything.

So the next day when I woke up, I got myself cleaned and prepared to go home already. Gusto ko na talagang umuwi and naiinis ako kay AA. When I got out of the room, he was there. I told him and I’m going home… eh ayun sasabayan pa ko. Bad trip talaga! So anyway, we just waited for MrsMC para sabay na kami on her way to office. MC drove her and we all parted ways in Ortigas. I stopped by Philcoa first before going home to grab a bite because I was thinking that my stomach was empty because I threw up everything and that I’d go straight to sleep when I get home. But wala kong ganang kumain, just took a couple of bites then headed home already. When I went online, AA was also online and here’s our conversation in YM…

AA: bilis mo ha.
B: kanina pa ko

Yes, there is such a thing! Haha! DocMR and I are doing cyber drinking right now… I don’t exactly know how to call it. He’s at home drinking and I’m at home drinking too and we are chatting in YM. Haha! I missed this guy! He’s a very good friend of mine. He’s actually AA’s friend who became part of our group. They live in the same village and they are both members of the basketball league of their village. DocMR was also our schoolmate in college pero iba course niya sa min. I remember one time I got drunk and then there’s this guy who laughed at me because I threw up on a drinking glass. I threw up on the glass because I didn’t wanna throw up on the floor and I knew I wouldn’t make it to the bathroom anymore, so ayon sa baso na lang. Hahaha! Gross, isn’t it? Eh wala, laseng eh. Si DocMR hinamon yung guy ng suntukan. Haha! I wasn’t even aware of that anymore because I was too drunk. They just told me about it the next day. I really wouldn’t forget that. Touched ako sobra! DocMR is a really nice guy… super gentleman. I also remember when we climbed Mt. Banahaw in Quezon, he was more concerned about me. Si AA parang walang pakialam.

We haven’t seen each other for about two years now. And now we’re catching up on each other’s love lives. Haha! Ang drama na nga namin eh. Pareho na kaming laseng. Hehe! Wala lang, na-share ko lang!

ETA: DocMR is right with regards to AA…
DocMR: anu ka ba tama na yan noh

Funny how my meeting with AA evolved. Warning: this is another long post with some gross parts. Haha!

AA was supposed to go to my house last Wednesday. We were supposed to drink and he’ll listen to the MP3s he asked me to compile for him. So, earlier that day we were chatting in YM and he told me he’d go to MC’s place first in Cainta then he’d go to my house and that he’ll arrive around 10pm. Then after about 10 minutes, he messaged me again in YM, telling me that MB just called and he’s inviting us to his son’s birthday (my inaanak). MB lost all his contacts on his cellphone so he just asked AA to let me know about the party. I thought it was going to be in Sucat so I already said no to AA because that’s too far from me and I don’t have a way home. AA said the party is in Sta. Ana and he wanted us to go there instead and then he’d go home with me at my house. I also called MB to ask what my inaanak would like as a gift and then he said AA and I can already go there around 3 or 4pm. So kinukulit ko si AA na punta na kami para maagang makainom because for sure it’s gonna be a long night since MB and I haven’t seen each other for about 4 years. And MB is also celebrating because his wife (let’s call her MrsMB) and him just got back together after about 5 years of being separated. But AA said he couldn’t leave early because he’s going to bring his brother’s car (we’ll call him AABro1) and his other brother (AABro2) was still using it. Our original plan was AA would pick me up in Makati then we’d go to MB’s then AAbro1 will bring home the car from MB’s and then AA and I will just take a cab going back to my place. But that plan didn’t push through… you’ll find out why later.

AA and I planned to meet outside TGIF’s in Glorietta 3 around 8:30pm. I was in Glorietta around 7:30 to look for a gift for my inaanak but decided to just give him money so he could buy anything he wants. Then AA texted me he’ll arrive at 9pm sharp kse baka ma-late daw sia kung 8:30. Eh ayun. He texted me again around 9:10 to tell me he’s on his way pa lang and he’s still in Edsa-Pasay. I just waited for him outside Music One so he wouldn’t park anymore. Ayun 9:40 sharp dumating. We got lost pa on our way to MB’s. Haha! AA said AABro1 was already drunk and was already sleeping when he left home so we were surprised to see him at the party. Nauna pa siya sa min don. AABro1 gained weight and I almost didn’t recognize him. Last I saw him was two years ago, at AA’s despedida. He said I lost weight naman daw and asked why pa. Haha! MB and MrsMB also said I look thinner. Ganon pala ka-obvious? I’m so happy!

At the party, I was shy at first because I didn’t know the people. Funny thing pa, there’s this girl named Ana (MrsMB’s friend) and I think last time she saw AA, they had a a drunken fight yata (first time din they met). So when AA and I arrived they were teasing each other about that fight. We sat down na and MrsMB was sitting in front of me and she was shouting at Ana na parang “alam ko yung tanong mo, kahit ako yun din itatanong ko kaya lang alam ko na sagot” referring to AA and me. Me thinks that Ana likes AA, funny pa cause AA’s ex na inaway ako is also named Ana. Haha! Ana was sitting on the table behind ours so what I did I moved next to AABro1 so Ana could sit next to AA. Haha! pang-asar talaga ko. So kakwentuhan ko na si AABro1 and MrsMB. Kulitan na lang si AA and Ana. Feeling ko nga din nakulitan na si AA cause when MB’s cousins arrived, he left our table and went to MB’s cousins and stayed there. The beers were free flowing that night, and MB’s helper, Beho, was busy replacing empty beer bottles with fresh ones. Ambilis namin nalaseng sobra. AA naman was still looking after me and his bro from afar kse nga laseng na kami. Then he texted me saying that naka-inom na si AABro1, dahan dahan lang. I didn’t get what he was trying to tell me so I just disregarded his message. Yun pala what he meant was for me to look after AABro1 and try to control his drinking. And when he got wrecked, ako yung sinisi ni AA cause I didn’t look after him daw, sinasabayan ko pa daw ng inom. Eh tama ba naman yon? Yung laseng ipagbilin daw ba sa isa pang laseng. I also think that AAbro1 knows something about me and AA cause he kept asking kung uminom daw muna kami ng red horse sa house namin before going to MB’s. I asked him kung anong kinukwento ng kuya niya sa kanya… yun nga daw nag-iinom kami ng red horse and then magsmi-smile siya like he knows more than that. Hay nacoo talaga tong si AA. Then AABro1 was drunk na talaga and he’s sleeping na on his chair beside me. So binantayan ko na lang. Then maya-maya we let him sleep na lang na inside the car. And AA and MB’s cousins joined us na on the table. Kulitan sobra. Funny thing pa cause everybody, MB’s cousins, friends, and even his sis, remembers me as the girl who always throws up. Haha! MB’s cousin pa was teasing me, I threw up on him daw last time he saw me. Pero I don’t remember anything like that talaga. Sabi nga ni AA tine-tease lang daw ako non. And MB’s sister naman kinuwento yung nagpa-iwan ako sa house nila nung nag-inuman kami nung college days. Grabe hot seat ako! As in they were all talking about me, nakakahiya. And then MB asked me why I hybernated, he was asking if it was because of AA. Hanggang sa may dumating ulit pa na cousins ni MB and they were all asking me why I hybernated. Haha! Everywhere I went and anyone I talked to that night, yun ang question. Hahaha! After awhile, AA wanted us to leave already, but the people wouldn’t let me go home. MrsMB was teasing me na paiwan na lang daw ako ulet. Haha! So AA let me stay for awhile while he talked to MB’s cousin, Chino. Maybe he saw me having fun that’s why he agreed for us to stay a bit longer. Then after a few minutes pinuntahan ko na sila ni Chino and asked if he wanted to go na. Eto namang Chino tinanong din ako why ako nag-hybernate. Natatawa na talaga ko. Di ko na naalala kung ano pinagsasasabi ko. He’s kulet din sobra! Then AA and I said our good-byes and went home already. This is when our plan changed. They were asking me how I’d go home. AABro1, who was supposed to bring home the car, was already wrecked. Eh ayaw ko din naman na hatid ako ni AA sa house and then uuwi sila ng brother niya, eh laseng na din sa AA. So we decided I’d just spend the night in AA’s house. It was a good thing because AA was so drunk na din and nakakatulog na siya while driving. Kinakausap ko na nga lang and I kept tapping him on the shoulder para magising. Kung marunong lang ako mag-drive, ako na nagdrive pauwi.

When we got to their house, tulugan na. AA shares his room with AABro1 and he let me sleep on his bed while he slept on the floor, on a sleeping bag. He also let me borrow a shirt. Ang happy, happy ko, I was wearing his shirt and hugging his pillows! Hahaha! Ang babaw ko talaga! This is actually the third time already that I spent the night at his place, but my first time alone. The two other times, we were with our friends and we stayed in her aunt’s empty house next door.

Moving on with the evolution, it’s now Thursday morning. Nagising ako and nawi-wee wee na talaga ko but shy ako lumabas cause his mom and dad might be there. So I had to wake him up pa para samahan ako. Haha! True enough andon nga mom and dad niya. When they peeked inside the room while we were sleeping, they thought I was AABro2. AABro2 din peeked inside the room and was a bit surprised to see me. Haha! Nakakatawa nga kse wala akong toothbrush, si AA tawa ng tawa, gamitin ko na lang daw toothbrush niya, mauna na daw ako then gagamitin niya after ko. Haha! Then we were inside the room, he was sitting beside me and natatawa siya. I asked why… kse daw kukunin niya yung shirt niya that I was wearing and yun na lang daw isusuot niya. Weird talaga niya! But before we left, I changed back to my shirt para wala na kong bitbit. We had breakfast first before we left… we’re now going to MC’s place in Cainta. Commute kami, three bus rides and two trikes, one going out of their village and one going inside MC’s village. We got there around 11:30am, sakto lunch time!

Shet! My friend PS and I were supposed to attend a wedding at 1pm today. I fell asleep and just woke up and it’s already 12:30pm. I can’t even think and I’ve got a TERRIBLE headache. PS naman is down with a fever and he’s got a flight to catch at 4pm. PS and I are really bad indians. Hala!

So since I’m stuck here at home with my headache, I’ll update you guys na lang about last night… the much awaited sequel to the drunk tale. Haha! He woke up early today and slept on the floor… Tama ba naman yon? I wasn’t speaking to him when I woke up, and I could tell he was worried. He lay down beside me again after awhile and hugged me and tried talking to me to no avail. He kept asking me if I was angry. But I just covered my face with a blanket and didn’t answer. I sooooo much wanted to tell him na itigil na namin tong kalokohan na to, like I’ve told myself sooooo many times. I wanted to ask him what’s the point of us getting together eh we’ve already proven to CO what we’ve wanted to prove after that crazy weekend. So what else is the point? To drink? He’s got so many friends na na pwede niyang kainuman, he definitely doesn’t need another drinking buddy.

Of course I got drunk last night… 3 liters of Red Horse and 2 Happy Horses. We talked about lots of stuff, our families, jobs (as if I have one), and siempre hindi ko natanong yung mga gusto kong itanong, I guess I was too drunk to even think straight. I even asked about THE girlfriend. Like how she is na and why they don’t get together that much, etc, etc. Sagot niya “wala yon.” Sabi ko nga let her go na. Not for me ha but for the girl’s sake. I don’t like the way he treats her. We talked about our friend MB. He is AA’s best bud and he is the type of guy that loves to fool around and is such a big tease… pang-asar ba. Anyway, I noticed when we were in college that he didn’t teased me much, unlike he did our other friends, and he was always serious whenever he talked to me. AA explained that MB is nice to me because of him. Parang he’s kinda like protecting me. Seriously, AA is overprotective and I think he’s overreacting. I remember nakwento niya that he went out one time with our friend JR and JR was asking about me, parang nangangamusta lang. And ang sagot niya agad “Loko ka wag mong loloko-lokohin si B!” OA diba?

And I’ll spill the beans na here, wala nang hiya-hiya. I kissed him last night! Lots of times. Haha! I think yun yung pinag-awayan namin last night. I’ve got to understand daw that it’s hard for him, eh ako naman parang I’m thinking na hello? it’s just a kiss. It isn’t something we’ve never done before. Yup, our barkada actually calls us kissing friends. He thinks too much… diba parang dapat ako yon? Parang he’s scared pag ako na yung nag-initiate pero pag siya okay lang. Haaaaayyyy… life’s unfair! I’ll post again soon. I need to think muna… haha!

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.

AA, CO and I sometimes get together and we just talk and catch up on each other’s lives while drinking. One time AA told us a secret and he couldn’t remember the next day what he told us. So, we got into this habit of writing down what we’re saying when we’re drinking so that the next day we can read back and remember what we talked about and what was said the night before. I only have a few of those notes, since we don’t see much of each other anymore. Some are funny and some doesn’t even make sense and I want to share it with you just because. Just remember that we’re all drunk here, even the one whose taking down the notes. I’ll start with the shortest one…

13 Nov 2004

AA: Open-ended ako. Wala nang coke a.
Me: Gusto niyo pure o water? (To C:) Ano nakakatawa don?
CO: Bat pag nagno-notes ka ba nililista mo lang yung nakakatawa?
AA: Butterfly sa stomach: nararamdaman mo pag may anxiety.
AA: Hindi math yung emotions.
CO: G is a possible GF for C (100%)
