party boy
last weekend was crazy.
Friday
it was Richard Ziga's 21st birthday and being the early bird that i am, i decided to arrive 30 minutes late at his place. i still was the earliest to come. and to make things worse, the celebrant wasn't even there. haha. i brought kyle along. we were entertained by Ricky's cousins and sister. beer and tequila flowed until i decided i've had enough. i hitched a ride home at 1 and was at home by 2am.
Saturday
i was supposed to have class at 11am but the prof decided not to show up. i was badly hung over and a quick meal fixed that. off to speech class and i pretty much slept through it. after class, i killed time until 6pm. time for the fun to start.
7pm marked the beginning of the Philippine Tarantula and Scorpion Society's christmas party so i decided to leave school at 6pm to have allowance for traffic. it turns out that i made it in 30 minutes to timog from school and i was 30 minutes early. good thing that i wasn't alone there. sir Gary was early as well. 7pm came and we were only 5 at the table. things looked pretty glum. well, as the night wore on, i think 50 people attended. awards from the previous Arachnoshow were given and the raffle started. tradition in the society was that people took shots when they won to redeem their prizes. i won a wall clock (LOL), and a pair of Madagascar Hissing Roaches (COOL). for each prize, i had to down half a glass of gin. i swear, the directors of the society were all CRAZY. hahaha. it was all good though. my head was drifting silently and i was inspecting my new roaches when people beside me called my attention and told me that i won the grand prize. i won a Brachypelma epicureanum (google it). for the major prizes the shots were a bit more outrageous. i had to drink a whole glass of what resembled beer in color. i was confident because i like beer and can down a bottle in one go if i wanted to. but to my surprise, there were stuff floating in my drink. they were alive. my drink had three mealworms and one superworm wriggling in a glass. to top it all off, there was a red chili pepper for good measure. i hesitated, but downed the whole glass, bugs and all. after the first sip i was shocked to discover that this was not beer. it was a 1:1 mixture of beer and gin. bastards. haha. i did not chew, i just kept on swallowing. after downing the whole thing and with my face to prove my dislike of the drink, i was handed the spider and i learned later that it was really rare and expensive. i guess downing all that crap was worth it. a little baby would cost around 4k. my spider was a hefty 4 inches already. good deal! i would be lying if i said that my world wasn't spinning after those drinks. i was hammered like a nail. but i had to go. i bade farewell after a little recuperation and drove to Carla's in katipunan. the party just started.
it was the iboys - beachbums annual christmas party and i was very late. people were already stagnant when i came and they were pretty much alive and i wasn't. haha. to my surprise, Niño was there. welcome to the group, i guess. hehe. it was refreshing to see the beachbum girls again. we never get to meet anymore except for Cara who is my schoolmate. at that point i really could not remember much due to the previous party so i pretty much just fast forwarded everything up until the boys crashed at burns' place.
woke up sunday noon and wasted time away until monday. i pooped on sunday night to find a chili pepper in my stool. HAHAHAHAHA
