Yesterday, while I was faking my way to studying due to the overflowing guilt that I was feeling for not attending class, Christian Bautista graced Starbucks with his presence.
Gusto nyo ng JOLOGS?
I pretended to read the newspaper while mouthin, "Oh My Gooood." And then, with great effort, tried to eavesdrop on their conversation. I was so tempted to say hi and ask him if I could take his picture or autograph or his heart, whatever, but I didn't. Di ko nga ginawa for Jessica Zafra [whom I love most] kay Christian pa. Still, I CRUSH HIM. Sobra.
Jologs talaga.
And the beer still flows...
Last night was just like any other night this week, we drank, badgered our way to FREE BUCKETS of BEER, SIOMAI and CHISIG and humiliated ourselves enormously. Not to mention the constant baklaan moments, tuksuhan moments, asaran moments and everything that may be considered as "moments".
It started with that eternal promise of "ONE ROUND". By this time, "ONE ROUND" has evolved into a metaphor too, ONE ROUND means, for as long as we have money and the mall's parking lot is open we shall drink our way to liver failure... and if we have to move our cars, there's always BINALOT waiting for us with more than open arms and uhmm, legs. [Eww.]
Side kwento: Of course I felt bad, especially because I got called to recite for Tax in that ONE TIME that I decided not to attend class. Why don't I learn? I'm unlucky, enough said. But it's ok, I stand by my belief that Atty. Gonzalez "might" consider it as my FREE PASS moment. Sana. *keeping fingers crossed* Redemption? I bought two pairs of SALUBONG shoes [meaning, "PWEDE-MABASA-KASI-JELLY-SYA-SO-BRING-IT-ON-BARRISTERS- MAGBASAAN-TAYO-AFTER-THE-BAR" SHOES] Ang saya. Then I got to practice for Salsa, we're learning Seki's [C ba o K?] Officially Missing You steps. Kinda hard, but I'm sure it's gonna look good. Ahlaaaaveeet! It was a fruitful day, non-academic stuff-wise.
