It’s my besftriend’s birthday today. John Joseph Alejandro Narsolis V turns 22 and it’s a joyous day.

And that is still my favorite picture of us (well technically our footwear)

I guess with all i’ve done lately, I haven’t felt like me in a while.

I don’t really party but I want to now. I find myself listening to party music and doing the shimmy shimmy shake at home, and the head bob at my station at work.

I find myself checking out people’s outfits in public and asking them where they got that random shirt, or shiny shoes.

I wear makeup sometimes now (eyeliner) when I feel like it (or when I try to distract from a blemish caused by not sleeping).

I haven’t read a new book in ages.

Food trips are a thing of the past.

 

So last Saturday I went back to my roots and just spent it laid back and food tripping. Things i learned that night:

• Gerry’s (at least the one in front of ABS fer sure) has no corkage fee. Huzzah)
• You can buy those little liquor bottles that they have in hotel rooms for 150 each at a liquor store in Timog circle
• There are no ice cream parlors in the Tomas Morato/Timog area to Katipunan that are open at 3am on a weekend.
• Bri-iw, a small hole in the wall bar in Kamuning used to be a gay bar.
• Petron Treats in Katipunan stocks only Nestle and Haagen Dazs ice  cream in its freezers.
• Drinking is supposedly strictly prohibited there.

It was a nice night. Just hanging out, laughing my head off. No hangover, no Sunday hell.

I missed this.

(But i wanna dance)
