No Mo' Absinth
Felt shitty today. I reek of vomit. Dunno what happened but I woke up in the rec room alone...
Last night, we (with Nikks & Tabel) started the celebration with a dinner at Italiannis. I'll be talking about why we're celebrating in a little while. We're supposed to have a free dinner with Earl but he backed out at the last minoot. Sumpthin happened maybe. We checked out first "Fish & Co." but after looking at the menu, we thought of eating at Chili's instead. While walking towards the place, we spotted Italiannis and decided quickly to just have our dinner there.
Mikel was our waiter for the night. We ordered Ceasar salad with grilled chicken and Shrimp Fra Diablo pasta. For our drinks, we experimented on different mix of fruit drinks. Mine was dalandan and apple. Not good. We asked Mikel for his advice on our red wine. He suggested Chianti.
Food was good. I was expecting much from the diablo pasta. Wanted it to be more spicy. Mikel served the pasta before the salad and asked for forgiveness. He offered to give us free dessert (Panacotta). Sweet!
While we're having our free dessert, Kendz-Pao arrived. We told 'em about our free dessert. We also concluded that Mikel likes Tabel so our conversation went that way.
'twas already 11 and our friends over at Absinth were already looking for us. So after paying for our dinner (Tabel gave a good tip), we walked towards the bar where the group of Joy and our visitors from the US were drinking already.
Spotted Rene drinking a bottled water outside. You can tell he's been drinking a lot 'cause of his reddened cheeks. I also saw an old officemate (Patrick) drinking with his friends outside the bar.
Hugh and Vinod welcomed us at their table. The other peeps in the party were Joy, OJ, Jimmy, Boy, Max, and the new crush ng bayan, Jeff. They told us that they'll be leaving soon for a boy's night out so we ordered our drinks immediately. Joy ordered us Absinth. The drink threw quite a punch. It tastes like Becherovka that Arlyn brought home from one of her trips. We requested for water right away.
Tabel and I went to the bar and ordered some more red wine. Oh, before I forget, the reason why we're celebrating is that I lost 5 pounds in the last month. I guess the gym visits and diet work ;oP
When the live music started, Nikks danced with me, Kendz, Tabel, Joy and even Jeff. Who says white men can't dance!
'twas a fun night filled with drinking and dancing. I've had not just one Absinth, but 5. So after the fifth drink, the knottydon passed out.
I'd like to thank the peeps who took care of me. I love you, guys! Dunno your identities yet but your first drink is on me next gimmick time ;oP

grabe don, mabuti at nabuhay ka. nabalitaan ko ang nangyari sa yo. di ko kinaya! i'm sure yan ng ang most embarrassing moment mo ever. wala ng makakatalo dyan. isinusumpa mo na ba ang absinthe? tsk tsk
ang lesson dyan : Drink Moderately
Ingats...
:-)
Donish! Ito na ang pinaka-wasted moment mo sa pag-inom. hahahaha Di ko kinaya ang kalagayan mo.
Sarap talga pag libre ang inuman.
'Till next inuman!
Super ang nangyari sa Absinth. Very "memorable"...
I hope you didn't try to drink absinthe straight. That would really give you quite a kick.
There's a particular way to drink absinthe that includes a sugar cube and a slotted spoon.
did drink it straight... 5 or 6 times even... hehehe... libre eh. sarap!
many thanks to Max, Jeff, Tabel, Nikks, and the rest of the guys who took care of me ;oP
