4:30
Boredom is my snack.
I can hardly recall anymore
the succession of events and how they came about.
February started easy.
Grace and i frequented Dencios Makati
since we leave work just about the same time
JT joins us from time to time..
it has been a long time since we 3 hooked up
together.. It is quite convenient anyway for them
since they just live in a nearby building.
Grace was finally lured by us to hit Xaymaca.
As they were with some of her old friends.
And so on.
At the same time, My brother was creating chaos
in the apartment where I was staying ...
We had our mornings at Dencios every other day.
they had their breakfast I had my beer.
just for me to dart to sleep when I get home.
and be free of the fuzz my brother was skeeking
it didn't take long when the building administrator
gave me a warning as my brother was constantly
making trouble in the apartment with some tenants.
I thought twice about throwing him out though..
thinkin' it would be so .. unMe..
instead, I constantly held Barbecue Parties
in the apartment terrace ..
Morris was always around anyway
My musician next-door neighbor
in the form of an annoyance.
At these times i was intermittently
experiencing the paranoia i was having years ago.
they came back like a cold shower after waking
from a deep sleep ... enchanted dream dom..
i still have no words to describe it ...
Staying drunk was always the escape route.
perhaps my twin would know somehow exactly
what it is.
To perfect the escape I went out with friends
Randomly partying and hanging out :
I was lucky to have known them, as they had entertained me
or the other way around ...
Rollie, Ivy, Xiao, and the rest of the pack
as I was always their very own Adaptec Guest..
and I'm the one who always passes out first ..
being the beer funnel I am.
There was even a time when the gang had a jeepney
joyride experience by the bay walk..
Too drunk I was, that not 1 message on my phone
got answered. it was 3am when the only message
I could respond to JT and Heidi's ...
I have to meet up with them at Temple Bar.
JT was already cursing on the phone..
I got out of the Zel's car and went straight ahead
to change clothes in the apartment ...
As I was on my way down.
The Japayukis staying at the fifth floor
were on their way up coming home from their bar duties.
Jessa was still drunk and kept touching my face.
I went ahead anyway...
Temple was about to close ..Luckily
I still made it .. and found them there.
How I miss Heidi .. hahaha.
The Guys were hungry. So we went straight ahead
From Makati to Malate...
After a Loaded Meal at Aristocrat by the Bay.
We went out to grab some smoke from 711
along with my favorite Strawberry Pocky.
It was Palm Sunday morning ...
JT told me and Heidi that she wanted to witness
Sunrise by the Bay... I told them and reminded her that
it's Sunset that people come to see at Manila Bay.
Our first one of the Palm Sunday Bloopers.
We were hunting for a place to party still.
we have scouted almost all of Malate...
and our stroll brought us to a Bar called Dematisse.
as they appear to be the only bar still pumping
with wild energy at that time ...
I can't forget the waitress' name: Charmie.
Me and Heidi drank and it was still not enough ...
the bar closed down at 6:30.
I was still up for a karaoke attack.
We hunted down the entirety of Malate. .no, go.
we ended up in Jupiter Makati.. all closed.
except DIGI cafe ... We had a table
by then JT realized she left her cell phone
in the cab.. we had to bargain some things...
for the cab to come back. he did..
I told him it was a long time i was looking
for a person with his virtue ... i still feel
he deserves that kind of gesture from me ..
at that exact instance...
So I told him not to worry...My Dad`s a congressman.
some people just didn't have any sense of humor.
hahaha...
We offered to pay the cab his whole boundary
we ordered him breakfast and invited him join us
for karaoke ..who would refuse JT's obnoxious charm,
and Heidi's demure and horny gaze hahaha
of course, the cab driver had to say yes
hahaha ... and so we go .. Party on.
Low on energy I still feel like drinking so as Heidi
We left the place. and ended up at Shell Maya.
And finally, we had to split: around 4pm.
The Taxi driver I just hopped in was listening
to the radio: Eric Morales won the Boxing fight
with Manny Pacquiao, I knew it.
Pacquiao was the favorite: I won 4 Grand on my bet ..
just in time when my funds were about to run out.
The Next day...
I woke up with a Super High Fever Hangover.
I rang and texted Heidi just before boredom hits
She was still in Jt and Grace's Place with Pao.
and minutes after that. i got a call from the bank
telling me My New Credit card was ready for Pickup
Scratching time it was. So I got up and put on
my favorite Back to The Future Shirt.
One Dry Monday Morning . . .
So we decided to meet up at Dencios. Again.
This time we had a Brunch with Angel, as Grace
brought her along ... I finished A liter of H20.
After the meal, we flew to Greenbelt and went looking
for a place to cool down and Hang Out...
Red Box was it ::: its only 12:00, they open at 1:30
So we went downstairs and had some smoke and juice at Cascada
:: God! Cigarettes there were twice the price.
Karaoke to Death with JT, Heidi, and Pao fills.
Ka Pao was a Vegetarian Rockstar and Roller wahaha!
After the stint. We went on to walk and stroll
the Makati streets and Pao and I ended up on Gweillos
We lost track of JT and Heidi: We went looking for them.
They were already in the apartment when we made contact.
So we waited while drinking some booze from the bar with Pao When
they arrived JT finally suggested to go Xaymaca: so we go.
When we got out of the Taxi. I realized that I dropped my wallet in the cab.
Just as I was about to call to report the loss: The Cab came back.
This is really weird ...
We got in and got some drinks
Just as fun was about to brew. the waitress told us
that they didn't happen to accept cards as we were out of cash.
even the ATM machine gave up on me:: No shit.
JT was already damn pissed and so was everybody else.
I always react oppositely to things as I was once told.
but around this time I was allowed to consume mood absorb.
As things may appear to be clear, they are clouded with retention spells.
Some say in every Crisis there's an opportunity that simply awaits.
Or is it the other way around ?..
So I spoke to the manager who made arrangements
for me to pay for everything we had the next day.
Destiny's Accountant was billing us early.
I'm getting used to it.
A few days passed.
I finally moved out of the apartment.
I guess that was the definite choice to make
Even before I was already hunting for a place
it didn't take long before I could find someone to pad with.
The transition was nothing new to me.
But the whole idea of staying with Raz in her Citiland Condo
was short-lived after her cousin from Cebu came by.
Hazalle is a modern-day version of Joan of Art
She likes to draw a lot .. ultra-talented in many ways.
Seldom i would meet Librans with such refined artistry.
sometimes even the food she has on her plate suddenly turns
into a subject just waiting to be displayed in a gallery.
for three days we hung out most of the time in her QC apt.
all we did was eat delivered fast food and drink most of the time.
Too bad she's always tied up with her perching job.
As for most of us ... Accelimansia.. and i was back to work.
I finally decided to get to meet Irene
although we knew each other for almost a year now.
we never got a chance to hook up..
I was bumming around in the office building
where i spent nothing but playing Tekken5 right next
to the big glass window that overlooks the wide parking space down.
Irene works for the country's leading Fearless Newspaper
She does feature stuff .. although she hasn't told me that
I figured that one out long ago.
11pm was the takeoff time
She picked Blue Room at Malate since she lives there nearby
She told me they are soon having some tours in India
dunno exactly when it would be .. Told me some of her action-packed
on-the-job experiences .. Bomb Blasts and stuff.
and also her nephew named Weiland.
The Mini Acquaintance party went well.
Great meeting you Irene ..
Back in the Office scene ..
Every morning was spent in Allegro Cafe
Drinking Beer with Ann, Jona, Harley, and Mon
We became regular Bar and Cafe guests having Beer bursts at Sun up.
On one occasion we got invited by Christian to his Condo unit
Chris is an American who grew up in Utah.
He works for another company though.
We had a drink as the guys were on a Druppy.
It was about 1 and I almost forgot
it was my cousin's Wedding and I was supposed to eMCee at the party.
I did not even make it to the reception.
The next day came .. April's last..
I had to pack things up as I was on an invite
To hit Puerto Galera .. by my Adopted friends...
6am I have to be in the Van with my ready stuff...
And Puerto Galera is waiting for us...
