What I miss about you.

I miss how we'd laugh every time it's hard for you to explain something in english.

I miss how we used to sing together.

I miss how you'd hug me and make me feel like I'm the only one.

I miss how you'd always get up by 11am and how I'd be done preparing our food already.

I miss how you'd say that you need to take a dump so badly even though we're at the mall.

I miss how I'd cook for you and you'd lie to me that it's good even though I know it's not.

I miss how you'd get so drunk and I'll be the one driving us home.

I miss how you'd always sleep-over. And I mean ALWAYS.

I miss how you'd get jealous even for the silliest things.

I miss how you'd always force me to eat oysters.

I miss how we'd go out even though we're running a little low on cash.

I miss how you'd laugh at my jokes.

I miss how you'd kiss me like it's our last day together.

I miss how you'd say "I love you, forever." to me.

I miss you.

             Even though we ended up so badly, I want you to know that there will always be a place in my heart for you. For the first time in a long time, you made me believe in fairytales. Even though it wasn't a happy-ever-after for us, the memories you left me with will forever be treasured. I will never forget you. You made me who I am today. You made me believe that love is for everyone. That there is still hope for love. You just really have to wait for the right one. Thank you.

One Crazy Wine Night.

Every time my friends and I would go out, we would always drink somewhere first before totally "going out". And my room is one of our most favorite spot. Ha-ha! They would always come to my place and chill. So this was a Tuesday night, and I decided to call all of them for our "wine night". So my friends were all here. Everyone brought bottles of wine, and me? I cooked dinner.

Royce (one of my closest friend) went to my place earlier than everyone so he could help me cook. So we went to the nearest grocery store first (which in my case, Savemore) and shopped for what I will cook. Funny how he asked me what I would cook, and all that I said was "bahala na" Ha-ha! Cause I really don't know what we'll see inside the grocery store. So I ended up cooking Roast Beef with baby potatoes, and Farfalle Pesto pasta.

Judging by the left-over, there was none. Ha-ha! So I guess it was a hit then.

Now comes the fun part, the wines! I really don't know the names. I just drank whatever they gave me.

My personal favorites were Natalie and Gossips. Both were sweet, but totally traitors. We had two bottles of each except for Kangaroo Ridge and Primo Amore. We were all crawling afterwards. Oh, I forgot, we finished one GSM blue and one The Bar apple again after all the wines. So can you imagine how f*cked up we all were? :)

Keizo - Burgos Circle.

It was over a month ago when me and my friend Miky went to Keizo at Burgos Circle, The Fort. Well if you're familiar with Burgos Circle nowadays, it's very crowded. (Unlike before when it wasn't crowded at all). Well maybe because now, every single restaurant/bar are open already. So much for having Distillery as the only "drinking place" there before. So before we went to Keizo, I had a little "meeting" at UCC that day... A very memorable meeting I must say. So after the "meeting", I really wanted to go home already. But my friend Miky insisted we have dinner at Burgos Circle first. So of course I said yes. How can I say no to her. We had dinner at Melo's. Then I really wanted to drink a little. Take note, just a little. Ha-ha! So we were actually looking for a more quiet bar/pub place. Rue and Izumi were totally out of our options cause it's just too crowded there. So there we were walking along Burgos Circle, about to give up. Then we saw...

The place was deserted. Well not really, there was a woman eating by herself. So we sat down outside the restaurant cause I have to smoke. (Predictable). Their staff were so accommodating. They even did the "bowing" to us. Twas so cute. Ha-ha! Then we ordered their Sake and California Maki.

It was my first time drinking Sake. And honestly, I'd rather go for the more "strong" ones. Vodka perhaps? Ha-ha! Well, it was okay. We weren't really planning on getting drunk anyway. The maki was really really REALLY good. I have no idea why though. We also saw the chef and the owner of Keizo. Both of them were Japanese. Maybe that's why their maki tasted so authentic.

So when we got home, some of my other friends came over. We were having our "cheap night". We were drinking GSM blue mixed with apple ice tea. Ha-ha. Then of course, we all went clubbing after one bottle. Typical us.

THE Alcoholic Limonade.

There is no question that I am a sucker for bottemless drinks. Well, alcoholic drinks that is. And this post is dedicated to the bottomless mojito T.G.I. Fridays is offering. I actually tried their bottomless mojito 2 years ago. (I think). But I thought it was for a limited time only, so I never really went back for drinks again. I've never really been a fan of mojitos... Personally, I'd go for margaritas than mojitos. I just find the mixture of mint and lime to much for me to drink. Well I guess one drink wouldn't be so bad. But since it's bottomless, I feel like after 3 glasses, I can't drink another one anymore. So now every time I get a mojito, I ask the waiter to lessen the lime and to not put mint anymore. And I can now finally get to enjoy drinking mojitos. But the thing is, it doesn't taste like a mojito drink anymore! Haha! It actually tastes like vodka mixed with a little tequila, splashed with lime and grenadine. Or as I like to call it, THE alcoholic limonade! Haha. But for 3oo pesos, I wouldn't really complain anymore. It's already cheap for a bottomless (alcoholic) drink. Fridays, I'll visit you again.

Why do I feel this good sober?

Ah the sun is blinding...
I stayed up again.
Oh, I am finding...
That's not the way I want my story to end.

I'm safe, Up high...
Nothing can touch me.
But why do I feel this party's over?
No pain inside,
You're my protection.
Why do I feel this good sober?

When it's good then it's good.

It's all good till it goes bad.
Till you're trying to find the YOU that you once had.
I have heard myself cry, never again.
Broken down in agony just tryna find a friend.

Jose Killed Me Last Night.

Every time my friends would ask me out to drink, I never said no. I'm always up for drinking. I don't care where we're gonna drink, just as long as I get drunk then I'm cool. As the saying goes, "drinking is a sport." And I've really come to appreciate drinking as a sort of escape for problems. Yes, it doesn't solve anything. But there is just something about being drunk that makes you forget about things you want to forget. Even though you'll only forget it for a couple of hours, I want that feeling. I crave for that escape. I'm 21 now, and it really took me a while to discover what my killer is. (In terms of alcohol.) And I found out what kills me! No, it's not 151. Tequila is my killer!

As you can see from our super dirty table last night, that tall bottle named Jose Cuervo killed me once again. Every time we'd take shots of it, I just cringed. I'm so scared in taking shots of tequila... It tastes like rubbing alcohol. And the lemon that you bite into after taking a shot? It doesn't help either. Maybe I am just over exaggerating about the taste, but I don't know. There are a lot more better-tasting alcohol out there. And tequila is certainly not one of my favorites. And yes, I was so drunk AGAIN. We had a bottle of cheap brandy at home. Had a pitcher of Kamikaze, 2 bottles of Bacardi, a bottle of Jose Cuervo, and a couple bottles of beer at the club. And by the way, there was just only 5 of us. Imagine... imagine.

Two Zero One Two.

Funny how I just stayed at home on New Years Eve. Everyone was so concerned for some reason. Maybe cause it's so not me to not go out? Anyhoo, I ordered KFC and Pizza Hut on NYE. I pigged out for some reason. (Which is so not me anymore.) Fell asleep around 3 or 4 AM, then woke up feeling so alive. I really wanted to start the year right. So even though I don't feel like it, I forced myself to smile. Haha. And then to my surprise, when I went down to make some coffee, a bottle of red wine said "Hi" to me! And yes, at that time, my smile was indeed genuine already. Haha. There's nothing like starting the day (the year) with a glass of red wine. :) Well on my case, half a bottle of red wine. I don't really like drinking wine. It's dry and boring for me. But since it was already open, I took the bottle up to my room and finished the whole bottle. I hope my grandma didn't mind though. Haha. And by the way, HAPPY NEW YEAR! And cheers to my new blog!
