Pretty and Wasted

At around past 4am, I was semi-passed out at a Kebab food joint along Tomas Morato…

After going through my sabog moment the other day, all I wanted to do was to be with my friends and see Brownman Revival play.

I love you, BMR!!! 

Oh, thank God it’s Friday! So the moment 5pm struck, I rushed out of the office, hopped a ride with my senior office mates and took the MRT going to SM Megamall where I’ll be meeting up with my Peter. We ran a couple of errands, had dinner at Yoshinoya (Peter’s favorite food joint coz beef bowl makes him feel so happy) and watched Balls of Fury. It was a toss between that and this comic flick starred by The Rock ( I forgot its title, sorry) but tails won and so we watched Dan Fogler and Christopehr Walken in this semi-hilarious, half-baked comedy flick (at least Peter and I thought so). Here’s a quick official review though:

 In the unsanctioned, underground, and unhinged world of extreme Ping-Pong, the competition is brutal and the stakes are deadly. Now, this outrageous new comedy serves up this secret world for the first time on-screen. Down-and-out former professional Ping-Pong phenom Randy Daytona (Dan Fogler) is sucked into this maelstrom when FBI Agent Rodriguez (George Lopez) recruits him for a secret mission. Randy is determined to bounce back and recapture his former glory, and to smoke out his father’s (Robert Patrick) killer - one of the FBI’s Most Wanted, arch-fiend Feng (Christopher Walken). But, after two decades out of the game, Randy can’t turn his life around and avenge his father’s murder without a team of his own. He calls upon the spiritual guidance of blind Ping-Pong sage and restaurateur Wong (James Hong), and the training expertise of Master Wong’s wildly sexy niece Maggie (Maggie Q), both of whom also have a dark history with Feng. All roads lead to Feng’s mysterious jungle compound and the most unique Ping-Pong tournaments ever staged. There, Randy faces such formidable players as his long-ago Olympics opponent, the still-vicious Karl Wolfschtagg (Thomas Lennon). Can Randy keep his eye on the ball? Will he achieve the redemption he craves while wielding a paddle? Is his backhand strong enough to triumph over rampant wickedness? Written by Rogue Pictures

Anyway, we headed to QC as soon as the movie finished. We dropped by 7-11 first to buy myself some booze, a bottle of Vodka to be exact, which Peter mixed with a can of Del Monte Four Seasons, which I gulped in one sitting. By the time we reached Xaymaca, I was already pretty tipsy. Mwehehe. Yeah, I drink to get drunk.

Me and my pretty gurls… L-R: Inky, Joan, me, Michelle and Kaye

Just so we’re clear here, no I’m not a drunkard. Our house is full of hard drinks and wines which I never touch except on  rare occasions such as the Halloween party we just had. I just really like getting wasted every time I go to Xaymaca and listen to BMR play coz it helps get me into the groove. Plus, I am more relaxed and friendly. Remember the last time I went there a month ago? Everybody was having a blast except me! I was so sober I kept over thinking why I was sober. Even when I tried to be one with the reggae beat, it’s just not the same as being high with alcohol.

So aside from downing a bottle of vodka, I also ordered two more cosmo drinks! How can I resist my fave waiter Boyet? He’s such a darling.  There’s just one bad thing that keeps on happening to me when I’m drunk. I get too friendly for comfort and I tend to give off the wrong signals to the boys and men around me.

My boys, hehehe, Paw (left) and Ambet the trumpet player (right)

You see, I usually seem mataray and untouchable when I’m sober. But with tons of alcohol flowing in my blood stream, I dance more wildly, I act more freely, I laugh like there’s no tomorrow and I’m just so maligalig (as how Ricky and Michelle would put it)…you get the picture, right? And of course, the dance floor tend to be so jam packed that bodies dancing couldn’t help but bump into each other, right?

 This is how jam packed it was…

Current State of Affairs and Being

I'm sort of sabog right now. So please forgive me if I sound incoherent. 

I just realized that maybe I am depressed and feeling empty. I guess it's sort of obvious to those who are sensitive enough to see through me.  Thus, the almost daily shopping sprees  worth thousands of moolah. Well, at least I enjoyed myself even for just a few hours or days. I've finally proven to myself that money can't buy happiness. But at least I'm not poor and miserable. Just miserable. Oh well. Same difference.

I've almost completed the list of ingredients I need for the spells I plan to make. There are some people I wanna bewitch. They're mean and EQ-less. I hope my spells work. I'll blog about them soon,  the good and bad spells I mean.

I'm sooo fat. I started exercising this evening at around 9pm, after I installed some Xmas lighting for our Belen and Parol at the balcony. While shedding off some pounds, I was also watching CSI seasons 1 & 2. I used to do this a lot during MDP. Lately, I've been so tired from work (& shopping) that I'd just vegetate on our bed right after having dinner. 

I commuted going home and it was sooo bad timing, the traffic along coastal was horrific! I spent two and a half hours on the road when I'd normally spend only 40 minutes from MOA to our house. Peter and I usually go home so late in the evening, thus, less traffic. I thought, at least I didn't go shopping this time. Waiting for Peter at MOA is a financial disaster waiting to happen.  Hehehe.

To somehow make myself feel better, I've scheduled the next trips we'd be taking:

Nov. 17-18, 2007 Wake Baording at Lago de Oro, Calatagan, Batangas

Nov. 30-Dec.2, 2007  Beach bumming at Club Panoly, Boracay

Dec. 15-16, 2007 Surfing at La Union

Feb 9-10, 2008 Overnight at Sofitel

Holy Week, 2008 beach Bumming at Boracay

I still have 4 days of forced leave and 1 day of special leave left. I plan to schedule it on Dec. 3-7, 2007. If my boss will allow me and if I have the budget, I'd want to go back to my fave vacay place. If no budget, a trip to Cebu-Dumaguete-Siquijor will do.

Again, to help me find myself again, I resumed listening to and reading Steven Covey's 8th Habit. I'll blog about this too some other time, when I'm done with the book. I have other unfinished books as well: The Beach, Tarot Bible, Palmistry, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince and Shopaholic and Baby. I hope to finish them all soon so I can read my other books as well like Volumes 1-12 of Series of Unfortunate Events, Neil Gaiman's Fragile Things and Anansi Boys, and Paolo Coelho's Witch of Portabello to name a few.  I've been watching some not-so-old flicks too like Garfield, Murphy Brown, High School Musical II, etc.

Anyway, I'm sleepy now. I guess I just needed a sounding board. Just wanna let it all out, whatever "it" is. Night world. Hope tomorrow I won't feel so sabog anymore.

I was thinking of getting the 40" LCD Sanyo TV. But it wouldn't fit the Yaris that night I was shopping at MOA. Plus, it's way more expensive and I still had to set aside budget for our upcoming trips, house party and more shopping. So, I got this instead. Not bad. When we placed it in the living room, it looked so huge and perfect for the space. Plus the old Philips Flat Screen TV went into Popsie's room. Now, with three TVs at home, the only thing missing is a cable connection. Ironic, isn't it? Hahaha! 

Giddy and Happy
