I haven't felt the way I feel today in so long... (it's hard for me to specify) 

Downtown Clubbin (Saturday - 27 November 2004)

Errbody in the club got hecka buzzed last Saturday.

Yes. Including myself.

And I honestly haven’t felt that way ever since the good ol’ crazy Stars days. The now defunct STARS… Awww. I tell you, that bar was where all the drinking happened. First round: margaritas. Second round: cosmopolitans. Third round: bellinis. Thanks to Erica, alcohol kept pouring every weekend, man. Well, actually there were also a couple of school nights -- usually birthday parties. I remember coming to my first period English class at freakin 730am once during freshman year with only about two hours of sleep and with Amber’s song, “Sexual,” playing in my head. Seriously, I was staring at my professor, pretending to listen for two whole hours, without actually hearing a thing she was saying because of that freakin song that was stuck in my head.

Don't you know that when you touch me baby that it's torture
Brush up against me, I get chills all down my spine
When you talk to me it's painful
You don't know what you do to this heart of mine…

I confess I watch your mouth move, baby, when you're speaking
Study your body when you walk out of the room
You'll see how much you value my friendship
But I want you addicted to my perfume...


I don’t think I’ve ever gotten drunk-drunk before. But I’ve been tipsy, though. Hah.

You know I’m tipsy when I:

· dance to non-groove-able tunes

Barb: "Cands, I don’t think you’re supposed to be dancing to this song."
Me: "why, what's this?"
Barb: "Umm, Barry White."


· start complaining about not being able to look up

Me: "Barb, I feel like I'm wearing a sun-visor…"

· begin talking about stuff like GLOBAL WARMING. Ugh, nerdy topic, I know, but I did hit Juls up with that geeky convo once. Then again, I was taking up Environmental Science at that time so maybe I just got a lil hung up on that lesson. BUT STILL.

So anyway.

Last Saturday after having my usual apple-tini, I was forced to gulp down this huge shot of I-do-NOT-know-what that came from Vanessa’s friend, Kim. See, I don’t usually take drinks/shots from people who aren’t close to me but since she’s my cousin’s friend, I consumed it. Besides, all three of us drank the same thing, anyway. But. Oh. My. We shouldn’t have taken that last shot anymore because it made us extremely dizzy. Dude, we were so nauseated, we had to run to Caryn’s car to sober up. And we actually stayed at the parking lot for 30 minutes. How sad, one of Caryn’s friends even had to drive us to Lee’s Noodle House because Caryn was too buzzed to drive. I swear, we would’ve gotten in big-ass trouble had the cops seen us. AND I wouldn’t be able to come home to Manila. How terrifying is that? Hello?!? My parents are making me come home already.

Phew.

Thank God, we weren’t that obvious.

Okay from now on, I really wouldn’t take drinks from people I do not know.




buzzed ladies at the parking lot.


San Jose, California (27 November 2004)

Guess who I was able to meet up with at the Great Mall? My dear highschool/college friend, Muff. Woohoo.
Muff, Cands and Cassie

Happy All Saints and All Souls Day, people!

It’s 7:47pm and we just got home from Chili’s. I am so full. All we do is stuff ourselves here.

I was home alone earlier for the first time. Sadly, Vanessa and Cassie both had classes while everyone else partied in Vegas. Yep, that’s right and I was just here seated in front of the laptop listening to My Boo (featuring Beyonce and JD) with a heat dish / heater behind me.

Yes I remember boy, cause after we kissed
I could only think about your lips
Yes I remember boy, the moment I knew you were the one I could spend my life with
Even before all the fame and people screamin your name
I was there and you were my baby.


Anyway.

It’s good that I’m just staying home tonight coz I’ve been out a lot already. Goodness, we haven’t stopped goin out ever since we got here.

Thursday night, we went to Rosie McCann’s for my cousin-in-law’s despedida. First, we just ate and chatted. Shortly after that, the drinks followed and a few glasses of apple martinis later, we found ourselves on the dance floor… getting our groove on. Haha. That was crazy. I even got introduced to this guy, Ernie Reyes Jr., who’s supposed to be a known martial arts expert. Well, I don’t know if I just don’t watch a lot of contemporary movies but I’ve never really seen any of his flicks before. Apparently according to my cousin-in-law, he kicked The Rock’s ass in this movie Rundown. And he was one of the Ninja Turles, too. Oh wait, I saw that movie, TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, when I was younger. Cowabonga! Heehee. Anyhow from Rosie McCann’s, we all hung at Rich’s apartment at Santana Row for a bit before promptly proceeding to this Milpitas café for some noodles.

Friday morning, I accompanied Ate Cris, Nikki and Heidi to Valley Fair for some shopping. Heck. By noontime, I could hardly stand and walk from extreme weariness. Everytime we’d go to a shop, the first thing I’d do is look for a stool or a chair where I could sit. I didn’t even look at stuff anymore. I was just too tired. Thankfully when we got home, I was able to sleep for a couple of hours before getting ready for my cousin-in-law’s 2nd despedida night. So when Ate Cris, Kuya Joe, Phil and Cristy picked us up at around 10pm, I was again fully charged and ready to par-tay. That night we went downtown clubbin in San Francisco. Dude, our group was hecka big. There must have been more than 20 of us in there. Aside from my cousins, we were also with some of Kuya Joe’s relatives and friends and two of Cheryl’s cop friends. I never knew that having cops with you could be such an advantage. That police badge could actually be flashed anywhere and put to good use. “This is an authorized search so if you could please step aside and let all 25 of us in… for free.” Haha. Just kidding. That’s power-tripping right there.

That same night before leaving for San Francisco, Vanessa got us pearl drinks from Fantasia which we brought with us and slowly finished in the car. I tell you, by the time we got to San Francisco, which unfortunately had bad traffic, Mary and I were both dying to pee already. So what we did was, we went down this café first and asked for their restroom. Would you believe the guy by the counter wouldn’t even let us use it because, according to him, we weren’t customers?! How inconsiderate. Okay since we needed to take a leak so bad, I randomly picked up a pack of gum from one of the shelves and handed it to him as if to say “So am I a customer now?” But no, instead, he threw me back this look that translated to “You don’t expect me to let the two of you use our bathroom by purchasing JUST a pack of gum, do you?” I know, gum is cheap and all but we really didn’t have to purchase anything in the first place. Free country, right? Haha. So even if he shot me a look of extreme disappointment, he still did ring up the pack of gum and let us use their precious restroom. Goodness, we practically had to pay for that toilet, you know. Yes, I could be such a cheapo, I admit. Heh.

Moving on to better stuff.

Hence we went to the club, danced and drank. I had an apple-tini, a shot of something (I don’t even know what it was, Kuya Joe just handed each one of us a shot of whatever that was) and most of Mary’s cosmopolitan coz she was already drunk. Tsk tsk. And I wasn’t even hit or anything. Well, for a second I thought I was. That was the time my friend’s pal from back home suddenly appeared there. Honestly, for a moment I felt lost. Is this San Francisco or Makati? Haha. After all the drinking and grooving, we all decided to go eat at Denny’s, Japantown. For some reason, we always, always have to eat after a night-out.

Vanessa woke me up the following day to go costume-hunting. Despite having an extremely achy and sleepy head, I got ready and went with her and her friend to Sunnyvale. After picking up a few stuff, we headed home and I went back to sleep. Then she woke me up again at around 6pm to go get ready for the costume party. Vanessa’s friend, Sau, picked us up early because we still had to pass by Pier 48 to drop some tickets off. Because we took so long in SFO, we didn’t get to attend the costume party anymore. Instead, we just hung with Sau’s friends and ate at a diner.

Sunday-- Vanessa, Cassie and I heard mass at a nearby Parish Church. I liked the mass there, it was very solemn. Before ending, someone announced something about including parish priests in our daily prayer as a way of thanking them for continuously officiating mass for us. Yeah, I mean, do we ever really get to thank the priests who daily / weekly try to lead us closer to God? And to think we don’t even have to pay a single cent to hear the Word of God.

From Church, we drove to Rivermark for some cookies before dropping by Tapioca Express for some bubble drinks. After that, we went to the mall and purchased some stuff. Vanessa was generous enough to get me new jeans. Hehe. Thanks so much, gurl! When we got home, we handed candies to the trick-or-treaters who came knocking. After running out of candies, Vanessa and I sped off to Tomatinas for dinner. Yummy pasta.

I told you, all we do here is stuff ourselves with food.

Phew. That was an uber tiring weekend.

Okay, will end this long entry now.

Still missing everyone back home.Ü
