Happy Birthday, Terence! Yihee... Ü

It's been a surreal two weeks. Nagsimula ang surrealism sa debut ni Terence Yu.

The other weekend, thirteen of us went to Los Baños to celebrate Terence's 21st birthday. There were five very important factors why it was such a great weekend:

1. Hot spring/swimming pool.
2. Videoke machine.
3. Endless food supply.
4. Booze.
5. Pictionary.

The swimming pool was nice and warm. Si IC saka si Martin nagsisisirko... tumatalon sila mula sa submerged shoulders ni Cholo tas nagbabackflip sa ere. Lupet. Si Martin naman dinedemo kung ano yung dive nya nung nakuha nya yung mga poknat nya sa ulo... hindi ko ma-explain kung paano nya yun nagawa without leaving the pool pero nakakatawa talaga. You had to be there.

Videoke machine = Dulce. Anlupet, naubusan na kami ng five-peso coins, wala nang background music. Kung akala nyong magpapapigil si Dulce, nagkakamali kayo - tuloy pa rin sha sa pagkanta, haha Ü Wala nang hiya-hiya! Di ba Dulce?

Grabe yung pagkain. Parang lahat ng pagkain at ulam na masasarap, inihain nung dalawang araw na 'yon... kare-kare, sinigang, liempo, lumpia, among many others. Panalo talaga. Terence, ikaw na!!!

So after some swimming and much videoke, punta na kami sa kuwarto, inom nang konti, gaguhan nang marami. The guys had beer... I'm not much of a beer drinker. Nilalait nga nila yung gin bilog ko sa grocery e ("Para kang kargador! Tambay ka ba sa kanto?!") kaya nauwi ako sa GSM Blue, which I have a bad history with. (Joe yun yung iniinom namin nung binati kita ng Happy Birthday. Pakshet.)

Adnan and I won at Pictionary after like ten hours of grueling play against such greats as Sweet and Neil, so it was an especially gratifying victory. Ansaya nung first game (which nobody won, kase 6 am na at higang-higa na kami) kase nagsimula kami half-drunk at kung anu-ano na yung naddrawing namin. Anlakas pa mandaya nung ibang teams, grabe... pero in the end, the best team won pa rin. At kami yon, haha! Nakakatawa nga nung pagkatapos namin manalo, pagod na kaming lahat so we settled into our respective beds, nests, corners, and sleeping bags. Apparently pumikit lang kaming lahat... kase after five minutes sabi ng isa, "Tara, swimming tayo!" tas nagtayuan bigla lahat para magswimming. Ang weird.Ü

Umuwi kami nung Sunday ng hapon, and speeding along C-5 our car almost hit a big brown something along the highway. Nung inikutan namin, gumalaw yung thing, at hindi lang gumalaw - it had boobs! Big boobs! It was a big naked woman! So apparently nag-aabang lang sya masagasaan sa C-5, at napagtripan nyang masagasaan nang nakahubad. Whattaway to commit suicide. Wala naman kaming magawa kase ayaw namin shang pasakayin sa kotse for fear of getting bit by a wild woman, kaya hinanap na lang namin ang nearest police station at nireport ang pangyayari. Medyo na-statstruck kaming lahat after nun. It's something you expect to see in the news - not in real, everyday life, alamuyon? Anyway hindi na namin alam kung anong nangyari sa kanya. The lady with the freaky death wish.

All in all it was a fun weekend. Kinilig ako nang maraming pagkakataon... di ba Dulce? Hahaha Ü We (the group) didn't exactly need another bonding session - marami nang mga pangyayari sa batch na nagbuklod na sa 'min nang lubus-lubusan - pero the opportunity to have more fun than we deserved was much appreciated. Thanks Terence. Sana nagustuhan mo yung regalo ko.Ü
