Weekend #31

Saturday, 4 August. Haaaaay. Good thing that cocktail drink we had last night walang hangover, nakapag-gym pa ako hehehe. You know, when I’m happy and I drink, I’m makulit...and I don't drink when I'm sad kasi lasing na nga ako, may hangover pa. Ang mas masaklap, malungkot pa rin ako...They say, you drink to remember not to forget.

*not their real names.

8 came. 6 batchmates, 1 husband, 1 girlfriend. (go figure!)
Ang nagsuggest na mini reunion daw, hindi sumipot. The nerve. Remind me never to include them in my next invite. Hahaha.

Metro Phi Bar. We used to frequent another bar in Eastwood but when Metrowalk opened a few years ago, it was the nearest place (as in walang aangal na kesyo malayo or what) to go since most of my HS barkada from SPCPasig just comes from the immediate vicinity. But I don't think we're ever going back to Phi Bar again.

We ordered lost of drinks and food for the group. Everything was okay but the sisig was a another story. While my friend was doing the honors of putting the kalamansi and seasoning, she found a hair (a long one) from the sisig. So we called the waiter and they offered to replace it. Fine. So back to normal, another round of drinks, kwento ulit about life, kids, work, SPCP, batchmates, sex, sexual preference, casual sex, f*ck buddies, etc. And then another round of drinks and food was ordered.

Halfway through another dish (assorted platter), my other friend, Patty, found another piece of hair which she literally pulled out from her mouth (she was eating buffalo wings). Ewwww!!! Since this was the second time, we asked for the manager, but only the supervisor came out. Well guess what, the supervisor, after conferring with whoever behind the bar, came back and told us that it was "unlikely that there is hair specimen in the food...it is the first time that it happened to us...we don't have employees with that kind of hair color." Whaaaaaat!!!!! So you're saying that we planted that hair???? WTF!!!! We couldn't believe it. It was already past 2am and we still wanted to drink and stay longer but we were so pissed off that they gave us no choice but to leave. They probably thought we were a bunch of 3o somethings looking for f*cking freebies. Ughhhhh!!! So we asked and paid for the f*cking bill and left. Since it was already late, we just stayed at Starbucks where we continued our kwentuhan. To make the long story short, we all got home past 5am.

Forgot to tell Bex that when we (me and my HS barkada) go out, 4am is still early to go home. Kahit weekday pa siya. I got worried for Bex because she has vertigo and it's bad for her to be puyat. Good thing she slept the whole afternoon of Saturday. Atta, girl! So I woke up at 4pm Sunday, ate brunch (actually hindi na siya brunch). Just stayed home, left lang to hear mass (good girl daw), and was finally able to finish Prison Break Season 2. Whew!!!

So, to sum it all up, looks like we're going back to Eastwood. See you soon, Jack!!!
