Ading celebrated her 32nd birthday last Saturday, September 6, and called it Alcoholympics 2008. I came with my dear friend, Armin, and it was really fun! G and Gari, my officefriends from Fuzzyworks, were also there so it was like a mini reunion. Alcohol was free-flowing that night, both shooters and draft beer, and there were also lots of food and not to forget isaw! The draft beer was SMB and the the shooters were brought to you by the not so sober Soberclub.
Armin and I were supposed to meet in Galleria at 8pm and he was late. I texted him around 7:30 pm to ask where I would wait for him and he didn’t respond. It was already 8 pm and he still wasn’t responding. I got a little worried so I called him at home and his mom answered the phone. She told me Armin left their house around 2pm and when I asked if she knew where he went, she said “secret.” Haha! I told Armin about this and he said that’s what he tells his mom everytime he’s going out. So anyway, I called Mac and asked if he knew where Armin was and he said Armin told him he’d meet me in Galleria and thought he was already there. Sus! Turned out that his phone was on silent mode and he didn’t hear it when I called and I didn’t ask anymore where he’d been. So he arrived around 8:20 then we headed to Ading’s party in Valle Verde 3.
G and Gari were already there when we arrived and I didn’t recognize them because G gained a little weight. I introduced Armin to them and party time! Haha! There was a mini bar and they were serving shooters that comes in a variety of colors and flavors, what exactly were in those drinks I never knew. We started drinking draft beer and after a while I started going to the bar to get some shooters and brought it back to our table. Armin and Gari tasted some and described it as Albatross and all the other air fresheners, even My Shaldan and Aqua Net. Haha! Of course they were just trying to gross me out but it didn’t work. The shots actually tasted good and most of it, you wouldn’t even taste the alcohol in it. Sobrang halo-halo ininom ko and all I could remember were tequilla, vodka and lambanog… and of course my ever reliable SMB draft beer. There was this brown thing pa that looked like chocolate and they made me drink a tequilla slammer and one flaming shot. And the bartenders were nice, they were patient with me and kept repeating their concoctions because I asked them over and over again and kept forgetting. Haha!
Ading was a very funny host! She kept singing and would call people on the mic making them react first then say different funny comments like “Wala lang, tinatawag lang kit” and “B, o upo ka lang dyan” and one time meron pang “Armin, you look bored. B kiss mo muna!” Haha! Kakahiya! Para siyang nagro-roll call and nobody dared sing on the mic except her and a few of her close friends who didn’t show their faces while singing. After awhile don na ko sa bar umiinom. The bartenders would give me different kinds of shooters and there’s this girl named Richie, nilalaseng yata ako… pa-shot ng pa-shot pero once lang niya ko sinabayan. Haha! Funny thing was Armin knew how much shooters I had… he counted it and he was able to count it even if I was way over to the bar. I had daw at least 30 shooters. And when they were already closing the bar, the waiters were transferring the leftovers in glasses and I drank pa daw one whole glass, I don’t know which one or what flavor, hindi ko na siya actually naalala. Basta alam ko lang I spent too much time on the bar. Haha!
We were the last ones to leave the party, kwentuhan muna with Ading, a little serious and sentimental but it was still fun. I missed these guys sobra! Then Armin and I went home to our house. The next day, when Armin woke up, he saw my clothes from the night before scattered on the floor. He laughed at me and said that even my clothes were drunk. Haha! He had to leave early because his brother would be attending a wedding and he’s going to use the car. I walked him to his car and that’s when he told me how much shooters I had.
So, that’s it! Til my next drunk tale!
