We got invited by the Drunken Masters for a little pick-me-up at their urban castle. My colleagues and I decided to drop by but we planned not to stay long. At first, Methink it would be such a fucken drag making small talk with my bosses and I wasn’t prepared for it. However, my colleagues who are big on alcohol, were persuaded to hangout, not for an extra hour or two, but a whopping 8 hours, doing nothing but either slur their words or shouting their heads off in my general direction… or both. You could say it would’ve been funner had I got myself drunk as well but being the resident killjoy, I’ve got my job all cut-out.

And now the highlights of the night…

5) Drunken convos such as…

Paeng: May gout kasi ako kaya di ako pwede sa beer.

AJ: Ano? Doubt?

Paeng: Hinde, Gout, G.

Majinboo: Ah… Gout! As in G-U…

4) AJ giving me an instruction on how to smoke on a Hookah.

AJ: Bale, hithitin mo ng matagal..

Tina: Teka, wait! First time ko to… ano dapat kong i-expect?

AJ: Basta parang yosi lang…

Tina: Okay… (sabay bwelo) Teka… di naman to drugs no? Promise?

AJ: Wahahahhah! (hithit)

3) After learning that the newbie is a comic book geek like himself…

King Pin: Stay with us for a year, I’ll give you that Optimus Prime toy bot.

Rene: Yesss! Sana di ako magkasakit or mamatay this year!

2) Sucking on a Hookah. It reminded me of the first time I used a Portalet. Hell, I’ve never seen one of these much more tried one out for size that’s why I had to be sure I wasn’t doing anything illegal, hahaha! I was so in-love with Chocolate flavored smoke, it came in light and smooth unlike cigs that’s why I was all set to get me one of these babies. Until I learned that the hugeass hookah pellets costs 600 bucks a pop read this, of course.

1) Rhae was sitting in-between the Queen and the King, drunkenly chattering away on the couch and motioning me to come near (meaning she shouted her ass off, telling me to come near) the couch when I got there she told me, and said, stand in front of us. Beguiling idiot that I was, I did what she told me and surprise of all surprises, she hiked up my shirt to show my bosses my tat with not as much as a warning. 😐

In the end, we all had a great time. Nice to know that our Bosses ain’t the straight-laced, stuck-up wombats that I pegged them to be. Noice, Noice.

I keep toying with the idea of signing myself up for a boxing/martial arts training camp, is that normal? Got to see lots of movies, Kung-Fu Panda, The Incredible Hulk and this:

Yes, it’s in Spanish. Bite me.

Yesterday, Rhae and I went to the movies to watch Get Smart a film re-make of a 60’s Espionage spoof series with the same title, created by Mel Brooks. The movie was top-billed by Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway as Maxwell Smart and Agent 99, respectively. I’ve been waiting for two months to see this film and it was worth the wait. It’s funny, Carell was awesome, Hathaway was surprisingly good (I just don’t see her as a spy and all, sue me) and the special effects was awesome! I lurve it zooo phaken much!!! Go see! Go see! Go see! Now, back to my uninteresting life…

I want to buy lots and lots of books, make-up, shoes, underwear, pants and shirts! I just wanna… empty my saving and raise hell at Mega Mall! I want to go to St. Francis Square and hoard all the pirated DVDs! Wouldn’t that be fun? I wanna dye my hair red also. But of course I can’t. My freeloading days has officially come to a close but I still plan to live like a pauper. Cuz, it’s cool.

But you want to know something way cooler? I’ve been brushing up on my Scrabble skillz on Facebook. Here’s yours truly, Tina The Awesomeness, battling a fellow writer, Sasi. See that, bitches? Ass-whoopin’ time!

God, I’m such a nerd.

So I bumped into the Ex-Bestfriend a couple of days ago. She looked good though, she got thinner and she’s wearing a brand new pair of green chucks which I approve. You can bet that I’m having mixed feeling about our brief meeting. However, I’ve been indulging way too much into this whole mess and I resolve not to be totally miserable about it. Maybe if I don’t think about it too much, it’ll go away on its own. HAH! I didn’t like how Rhae giggled while I was talking to the Ex-Bestfriend. It got to me more than the fact that I actually saw my ex-bestfriend. I know she meant to be funny about it but that was not a good time to laugh about the situation. I’ll just let it go.

Also, I’ve been caught in the rain for two straight days. Even my soul got wet. Now that didn’t sound right but that I got pissed when my sage green Chucks got wet, it almost broke my heart. I decided to come to the office wearing flip-flops and/or my new croc sandals. As much as I hate wearing slippers everywhere except my bedroom and I hate the idea of buying a ridiculously expensive pair of crocs just so I can prance around the metro with my jeans and feet wet, I had to. Thank God I had this old pair of Havs my sister gave me. Who knew this shit would come in handy?

Also, I accidentally* listened to Jeff Buckley’s song, I Know It’s Over. I discovered that the only perfect time to listen to a Jeff Buckley song is when you’re too distracted to actually pay attention. Otherwise you’d either start bawling like a bitch or would run to the nearest body of water to drown yourself. He is so melodramatic that any good feeling you might be feeling the minute you woke up will be vanquished as soon as you hear any of his songs. And I used the word “vanquished” loosely. So why did I bring this up? Because as soon as I heard the following lyrics, I felt like Jeff was behind me and screaming out these words in my general direction.

“If you’re so funny, then why are you on your own tonight?”
“And if you’re so clever then why are you on your own tonight?”
“And if you’re so very entertaining then why are you on your own tonight?”
“And if you’re so very good looking, why do you sleep alone tonight?”
I know, because tonight is just like any other night,
That’s why you’re on your own tonight,
With your triumphs and your charms,
while they’re in each other’s arms,
It’s so easy to laugh it’s so easy to hate,
it takes strength to be gentle and kind,
over and over and over.

WTF, right? Jeff, you fucken asshole. How the hell did you know about this?! How?! How?! DAMN YOU!!! *flees the room, screaming like a banshee*
