when the cat is away, the mouse will playnow, i don't think i'm much of a mouse, but i definitely did "play".
this weekend, my parents and my eldest sister went away to Thailand. don't ask why, cuz i don't know either. that left my sister doyti and i alone at home. and i hafta say, i have never gone out as much in one weekend as i did on this one.
thursday, it was jana buencamino's despedida. it's kinda strange having her go cuz jana's always been a good friend whom i could just tell anything. friends like those are hard to find. but anyway, i went there a bit late already, at about 9pm since i had just come from basketball [team intense!] practice. after telling and hearing what seemed to be a thousand jokes with gabbi, anna c, tricia, and crissy, we said our final goodbyes to jay and left. got home around 1130pm. didn't really stay long at the despedida. haha. but then again, it
was a school night.
friday. things started to kick off when our first IAC game [team intense!] pushed through. it was along awaited game since we were up against the run-guns, the big kahunas, the shiznits, the best team in our division [or so everyone thinks], LAX [which stands for La Salle, Ateneo, Xerox {kidding. it's Xavier}]. not only that, most members of their team used to be our close batchmates in la salle, so indeed, there's some tension in this match. well. the results of the game. umm. i'll put it as plainly as i can. we lost. hahaha. by 35 points. the final score, 67-32. we scored less than their lead. don't get me wrong, we put up a big fight and at the end of the game, the LAX players were panting and limping and dying already. hahahaha.[yeah right] and so, we now stand at 0-1.
after the game, i went home with marc tarronas to get ready for greg's party. yup, gweggy's older. anyway, went to the party at around 845pm. not too many people yet so that allowed time to chill and just sit around. i was super duper tired already. people started arriving, drinks started flowing and people started getting crazy. and for the large part of it, i was just on the couch, sleeping or just watching people. haha. but then, after a while and a few shots of tequilla, i was up and running and playing "i have never" with people. haha. it was fun catching up with friends who didn't go to ateneo, or even friends who did but i don't hang around with much. late in the party, i went out and said, "shit dude, ang tanda na natin. don't you remember mga 2-3 years ago, ka-soiree lang natin yang sila pam eh. tamo ngayon, we're all partying and stuff." "oo nga eh." a distinct reply from someone/anyone whom i didn't really mind. it is true, we're this age and we're doing all this. what happens we're around 23? correction, what happens when we're around 20?! whoaaa. cuz i never imagined doing the things i've done back when i was in 1st year HS. i never even thought such parties, drinks, activities existed.
at around 2am, people started leaving. some of us had INTACT [introduction to ateneo culture and traditions. worst unit one ever has to take] at 730am. yeah. you could imagine. we [the people who decided to sleep over and go straight to admu in the morning] went to bed at around 430am already, due to certain people who wouldn't wanna shut up. that includes me. i clearly remember forcing a certain issue regarding a certain girl i was forcing to a certain friend of mine. yukyukyuk. anyway, you could imagine that all through out the useless seminar we attended, i was bangag, sleepy and uncooperative. i hadn't eaten breakfast yet and i only had around one and a half hours of sleep. after a heavy breakfast/lunch at jollibee with blockmates, i went home and slept away the afternoon.
saturday night. the night before, james had invited me to go out saturday night. he'd take me to a restaurant where they legally served drugs. then we'd go to a some bar in makati ave where they had kickin' indie band music. then we'd cap it off with embassy. the restaurant was at makati ave. jerusalem restaurant. and the drug wasn't actually an illegal drug but was called Shisha. it did have a pot-like-bong and when you take it , it really did look like you were doing drugs. [i'd post pictures but i might suddenly be kicked out of ateneo and my home] it was actually a herbal, sans-nicotine, natural high inducing thing. [yeah. everything that weed is.] but i was assured that it, indeed, was safe. no side effects. apple flavored too. at around 1130 or 12, after an unfortunate traffic hold-up [damn horny fags. they blocked our parking while they checked-in a nearby ho/motel], we went to embassy already since we couldn't find that indie band place around. james works for tim yap. tim yap partly owns embassy. what's that mean? free entrance! even into the VIP section [no not THAT kind of VIP section. it's a VIP section where VIP doesn't stand for Very Intense Porn]. anyway, the whole night was pretty good. certain things didn't push through though, as james promised. hahahaha. but still, it was fun just hanging out there. pointing out people we knew [umm, from tv that is]. anywaaaaaaay, let's skip all of that. hahaha. after embassy club, we had early breakfast at embassy cafe and went home at around 430am. amazing, this beats the latest time i've ever gone home. by far.
sunday. mass with doyti and lolo at 1230pm. after which, doyti and i went to metrowalk to stock up on dvd's and watch em all at home. and that's exaclty how i spent my sunday. amazing. cuz today, monday, there ain't classes.
haaay. this kind of weekend, i believe, will never happen again. but i'm glad that it did. i never thought i'd be up for it all until it actually happened already. don't get me wrong, i did come to realize and learn a lot of things. a LOT of things. and i'm glad. it's just not a party animal's dream but a traveler's different destinations.
the adventure ended at 12:20 PM
