Last Friday, my friends and I decided to experience the alleged “fun” in going to the closing party of SMB’s Oktoberfest. Honestly, it was my idea to actually drag them into it since it’s our last Oktoberfest as Econ majors (sorry, I didn’t have a better reason). Lemme give you a blow by blow account of my night.
5pm : The Agony of Deciding on What to Wear: Skirt or pants? Carrie Bradshaw Tube top or see-through/ beach-inspired knitted top with yellow bikini underneath? Beige stilettos or pink mules? Pink bag or purse? In the end, I decided to dress up as Carrie so I settled with my Maong pants, funky belt, Pink [complicated]Tube top and my pink mules. Who cares if we’re expected to wear black? Who cares if it’s a rock concert? Who cares if I puke? At least these whole outfit blends with my curls. haha
6pm: The Scourging at the Fx: ok, I’m a commoner, I had to commute going to Megamall. I decided to ride the Fx in Pasig, I had to wait for 30 freaggin’ mins. Because not a lot of people are going to mega as commuters and the Fx had to fill all 10 seats. Great, just great! And to add insult to the whole situation, the traffic was really bad going to the mall. I was suffering ‘coz I can’t stretch my legs during the ride plus the woman seating next to me smells bad and she doesn’t wanna stop talking. I’m normally very patient but hey, we all have our saturation points right?
7:30: Crowning with Humiliation: Because I know that my friends won’t be arriving soon, I decided to spend my time reading The Last Order sa Penguin in Powerbooks. I was laughing alone and really enjoying it that I didn’t realize it was past 8pm. My friend Amitz arrived and we immediately decided to have dinner. Oops, it was too late before I realized that I haven’t paid yet. The woman in charge at the café was running after us while calling out to me. “Miss, Miss.. Ma’am, di pa po kayo bayad!”.Err, i wanted to die in embarrassment. Imagine everyone with their books taking a peek at who this stupid girl is, yeah the stupid girl’s me. haha… my friend Amitz, left me while I was paying. Ok, so much for being a friend.hahaha..
9pm: Carrying of the Whole Body: Amitz and I embarked on a journey of finding a cheap and peaceful place where we can eat dinner. And after almost an hour of walking, we decided to stop fooling ourselves because we can’t really find a place which isn’t crowded in Mega. Since we’re on a tight budget we decided to eat in Joillibee and found comfort in the fact that we haven’t eaten there for quite sometime.
10pm: Crucifixion and Death of our Hope: We really wanna try to go to the event, but the moment we saw how crowded and uninviting the crowd was, we changed our minds. We weren’t that interested to actually go through the process of mingling with these people. (Elitists! Haha) WE still wanted to look at the Avril Lavigne meets Matrix fashion sense of some people and we still wanted to feel of going to the party so we settled on something of a compromise. We decided to drink at the Mega Strip and spend the night coinversing and being the fashion police. Something really funny happened while we were on our way to the restaurant. We crossed paths with a group of weird-looking guys. One of them stopped in front of me and out of nowhere blurted out, “Conio!”… I was too surprised to react.. it was weird and funny at the same time. Oh well, it amused me.. haha.. we went home really late and though it wasn’t the experience I expected it to be, I must admit that I had fun. Having fun is relative anyway .haha..
