I welcomed the fist minutes of my 21st birthday inside a jeepney, with the mixed and mismatched voices of my friends singing "Happy Birthday" and chanting "sayo ang entrance". Buti na lang wala kong pera non. haha. And then, the guys were chanting, "Sayo ang babae, kami ang dadale". Balahura talaga ni Ben! Sabay banat pa nila ng ultimate, "pa-gerger ka naman!" wahaha. pero thanks guys. touched ako!

21. nuf said. haha.

back in the office. Long weekend's been long gone and over. BUT, the fun and dancing under the sun feelings still linger. haha. this weekend had been one of my most productive (as in helping in the store productive) and fun (as in partying, drinking, and videoke-ing) weekend since i've started working. Anyway, here's a chronicle of the events that transpired. It's a long post. hehe.

Friday evening. Aia's birthday celeb. I met up with Luv and Jaemie in KFC at the RCBC Plaza. By some stroke of faith, I saw my brother with his officemates and are also eating at KFC. What a coincidence huh? Anyway, Dwigt and Tin soon arrived. We ate and chatted, laughed like we weren't in a public place (read: ang mga kwentuhan, bargasan, at tawanang sa LB na nakasanayan). After the aparently long wait for Apple, we headed off to Aia's place at Pandacan. My gawd! It's like so far! At gudlak naman kay Dwight, ang guide na nangiiwan! haha. anyway, we saw Aia's mom again. Been a long time. Then we partied with her housemates and some friends from LB. Videoke galore! I went out to talk on the phone for a while and when I came back, the alcoholic aroma of the smashed Gran Matador greeted my nose. We had to buy drinks again, this time, it's GSM, Iced Tea, and Sprite. Mix courtesy of me. hehe. Well, they said they didn't get drunk but who cares? We did party the night away anyway! hehe.

Saturday. F*ck it. We all went to bed at around 2am. And i woke up by 5am. Is there any fairness left in this world? haha. I needed to go back to Boni to get my stuff and then head home to Tarlac. The travel sucks. hehe. I only slept for about 2hrs coz it's so uncomfortable. I dunno whta's wrong with that bus. Anyway, I got home at about 11am. And then, I had to go and tend the store from 12nn and close at 6pm. Good thing there's a TV in there. hehe. and in fairness, pinagawa na ni mama na parang office yung sa may cashier part. Tas naka-aircon at one-way mirror. Para siyang si Big Brother. haha. Anyway, twas kind of a lousy day. hehe. And I slept early.

Sunday. I was forced to wake up by 9am. sino ang gumigising ng 9am kapag weekends?! Grrr. Kasi naman, Mama and Gary is set to go to MOA to meet Tita Au and Tita Leah. Gary will be staying in Laguna for about three weeks. And so, bantay na naman ako, as alaways. Buti na lang, by 2 or 3pm, my friend Meme went by the store and extended an invitation for the wedding of the sister of our friend Maan. So, after I closed the store at 530, I freshened up, waited for my father's permission (yes, nagpapaalam ako!!!) and set off to meet my friends at Meme's. Wala na ang newlyweds sa reception. And it's not a big handaan either. It's a simple and traditional province kasalan, with the crepe papers shaped like flowers and twisted as it stretches from an end to another. So colorful! With the handweaved palm decorations.  Anyway, we ate. And 'videoked' the night away. Of course, there's also drinking. hehe. My first time to drink red horse again (umiinom po ako talaga. hindi po ako nagmamalinis. haha). The next round is a mixture of gin, 'cuatro cantos' to be specifc, and I think orange juice. baliktad ang trip nila. dapat nauna ang hard eh! Anyway, I went home at 11pm, thinking that I'm about to be dead coz my father is probably wondering why I am not yet home. But, alas! Wala pa rin xa sa bahay. hehe. Kaya ayun. My ass is saved!

Monday. "6:15 na. 6:30 ka di ba? Bumangon ka na dyan." Yan ang sbai ni Papa sakin kahapon. Eh pag xa ang nagsasalita, napapabalikwas talaga ako. Ai grabe. Ayun. puyat puyatan ako. tas nagbukas ako ng maaga. Hai. Mama arrived around 9am. I got off the store by 11am coz there are a lot of customers. I don't know why coz it's a normal market day naman. Anyway, me and my friends are celebrating Meme's and Wilson's birthday swimming somewhere. hehe. We all met up at Meme's house, where most of my friends already are waiting for the other people to arrive. When the party was complete, we headed and searched for a resort. After three choices, we ended on a relatively small one. But it's a nice place anyway. Medyo nag-alangan lang kami kasi may sign na sabi eh: "Bawal ang anumang ALAK o nakalalasing na inumin." Eh kamusta naman ang dalang wine, whisky, at fundador?! Buti na lang at kalahi nila Meme ang may-ari at we are nice-looking and peace-loving people (weh?! di nga?! haha) kaya napapayag namin xa. Itago na lang daw namin pag umiinom kami. hehe. Kaya ayun. Lunch galore na. Adobong manok at inihaw na tilapia. Delicious! haha. Swimming at kwentuhan galore maghapon. Boy-sighting ang mga vekluh! Occassional inom-inom na palihim. and a whole lot more. hehe. I have a tan line na! Wahaha. May i-i-itim pa pala ako. haha. We did some pictorial chorva na rin. (Just dunno when wll Cindy upload it. hmpft!) And as the afternoon sun sets and the twilight has taken over and with lesser people around, we played songs from Meme's phone and partied. We danced over the bridge, at the platform before the slides, in the pool. Everywhere! Ang lalandi ng mga bakla! Nahawa tuloy kami! (Chos!!!) haha. Pero masaya talaga xa! And, sa loob ng shower room while making banlaw, unang beses, as in the very first time, na nakakita ako ng live and actual na hubad na katawan ng isang babae!!! (Di ko sasabihin kung sino. haha) Shocking! Kasi naman noh, nakapanty at bra oo pero ang hubo't hubad, nevah! haha. Ayun. Uwian na. Pag-uwi namin, naglakad kami. Tas wala lang. Ang sweet kasi. Yung isang gayla na kasama namin, kasama niya bf nia. tas holding hands sila while walking. Nakakatouch lang. *sigh* tas yun. Hiwa-hiwalay na ulit. Without knowing kung kelan ulit ang next na happening. huhu. Twas really fun though. One helluva weekend!

SIDENOTES:
Tuesday morning: Traveling sucks! I mean, 330 ako gumising. Para maaga makabalik Manila. Kasabay ko si Jacq sa jeep pabalik ng Tarlac. Kaso we parted na sa station kasi di niya keri ang lamig ng aircon bus. Sabi niya: "Mamamatay ako dyan girl!" kaya ayun. She's working na sa Dau eh. Same company as Mommy Daisy. Anyway, kaasar talaga ang traffic. From orth Edsa to Boni, one hour na. Grrr. Tas naligo pa ko at kumain kaya eo. I'm sooooo late. tas ang una ko pang inatupag ay magblog. haha. BAD EMPLOYEE! Anyway, let's all have a great week ahead!

This is me. Welcome to my world.
