two days before christmas

since classes ended, i have been going out. well, i wasn't really able to go out while there was still school, so it's justifiable. last saturday, i spent more than eight hours straight in makati. then left for a former schoolmate's house and went back to greenbelt after.

my day started with a saint jude-ateneo lunch at bubba gump. shrimps were great, but expensive. the hard part in having lunch in groups is that serving among yourselves would never be "fair". sadly, wasn't able to eat a lot of the viand, but nevertheless, the company matters more.

another thing i hate with going out in huge groups is that it's never productive. though we went to glorietta and rustan's, we never really got to buy something. we just move from one place to the other, stopping for about twenty to thirty minutes and come up with a conversation. that was how we basically spent the afternoon.

i was supposed to drop by the bowling team party at the house of my teammate--the one closest to me. i promised, but then again, i had to break it. one, i didn't want to leave again, for i would have to come back to makati, since i was supposed to meet up with my drinking buddies. two, i was already feeling lazy to commute to corinthian (where the bowling team party was held). three, i miss my highschool buddies, and if i skipped the dinner with them, i might not have another chance of seeing them again until years.

after midnight, back at greenbelt, my friend and i met up and we spent an hour or two at aubar. the band was terrible. i was out of the night scene for more than three months. i was expecting to feel unfamiliarity, but i didn't. the songs the band was playing were the songs that we danced to in our HIGH SCHOOL prom. jeez! the crowd were leaving and there weren't many people left.

i used to have high tolerance in alchohol drinks, but since i have been "behaved" for quite a while, i got dizzy after my first 5 gulps of beer. but, i wasn't throwing up or drunk at least. i'm guessing it's because of the "light" dinner i had.

sunday, my "family" went out for dinner again at greenbelt. we ate at good earth. the food was good, but quite expensive. their green tea was great, and good thing it's refillable. the main motive of the dinner was to meet with my long lost brother, the one who got kicked out of the house more than six years ago. i miss him, but i couldn't talk with him as much as i wanted to, since i found the dinner pathetic. my parents were pretending to be okay, making stupid conversations, and my other brother, was fu"king up the dinner as well.
