last saturday, i went to a bar - Alchemy, in quezon city with my friends at about 11 in the evening. Prior to that, I already consumed four big bottles of Red Horse Beer so I was a bit tipsy. It seemed I was not that strong of a drinker anymore. Was it because of the 6-months hiatus from drinking? Maybe.
When we got to the bar, the beer - San Miguel Strong Ice, was FREE flowing. So we just had to worry about our dance grooves (which we did not) and mingle and mingle. I had to dance and drink the night away at the bar! I was free!!!! I have not felt like that when I was in Jakarta. Well, its just because I did not go to bars in Jakarta. But if I had, I would feel out of place. At about two in the morning, we transferred to another bar - BED, this time in Malate. It was jam packed even if it was two already in the morning. Again, we had to dance and drink the night away. And of course, ogling at the beautiful bodies gyrating on the dance floor. It was at six in the morning when we had to go out and was surprised to see daylight!!! hahaha... anyway, we went to eat in a chinese restaurant near the bar since it serves good soup!!! a hot, delicious soup is always nice when you are drunk! I got home and slept until one in the afternoon.
I woke up and realized that I scheduled a drinking session with a friend of mine and some childhood friends. So I got up, took a cold bath thinking that it will help ease with the throbbing in my head - but no. At about two, we started drinking. And at about three thirty, Robert - my friend, wanted me to go with him and drink with his friends in the province - sta maria bulacan, which is 20 minutes drive from our place by taking the expressway - if Robert is driving. And yes, we drove there in 20 minutes because of his car which is by the way a very expensive and nice-looking Mercedes AMG. The acceleration is great, it can go to 160 from 60kph in just lest than 5 seconds!!!! wow!!! and the maximum speed is 280! Its just a bad thing there is no place in Manila where you can do the 280! We drank about 10 bottles each in bulacan aside from the four we had back in my place.
We got back to my place at about nine in the evening. And we had to drink at least one more bottle. At that time, I already knew about one of my "ex" being stabbed at the back saturday night by someone who just happened to have nothing to do. And I saw his older brother walking in front of the veranda so I had to ask John - a childhood friend, to ask about "Shotie's" condition. He said he's supposed to have surgery right away but the hospitals don't want to do it until they have money to use as a down payment. And they have been asking since the afternoon for it. So, as an impulse and out of my past relationship with Shotie and present friendship, I gave out 500usd for the downpayment - since they are not well off. And it just so happen I was there at the right time with the right amount of money.
And now, Im here, Monday morning, typing away... it seems like I am living the life --- drinking and smoking for two consecutive days.... and now preparing to go to another province with Mike where we will be living the "nature" life for the next three days. Yes, I think I am living the life and hopefully, Shotie will still be able to live the rest of his life fully.
