Pat's Awesome SARAP Party

Every year in college, at least since I first attended in third year, Pat would hold a huge party to celebrate his birthday. Incidentally, Pat's birthday would coincide with the last day of school before Christmas break so it's pretty much considered as a year ender too.

First one I attended. Pat's 21st birthday, December 2007

21 shots for 21 years

Me, Emm, Miggy, Vicki, and Jon

Anabee,Edge,Pat, Miggy,Jaz, Lori, Cheska

I think most of us went home sober here. I repeat, MOST.

December 2008

This was by far, THE craziest one. Everyone was drunk, I did this synchronized vomit session with Emm and Cheska by the gutter, lotsa glasses were broken, the place was trashed. People crawled to get to their houses. Some slept in their bathrooms when they got home. As for me, I spent the night on the sofa, with a basin on the floor and a pitcher of water. I was vomiting until the break of dawn (no kidding). This party got us banned from the venue for a year I think.

December 2009- I was in Iloilo already so I've no shots of the party.

And the latest one, December 2010.

Early birds Lianne, Vicki, Jon, Paolo, myself and Jewel

We got to try all the drinks first before the crowd started pouring in.

If you noticed, most of the shots were taken outdoors. That's because Pat's Law school friends were busy dancing inside. Grabe yung energy nila, di kami naka-position sa dance floor. But the (almost) traditional STOP by the Spice Girls got all the ladies dancing. We even got the boys to follow suit. hahaha Such a fun song! Universal anthem of the ladies!

The BA crowd spent the night catching up with each other. It's different when everybody's doing their own thing. We all have stories to tell. But it was so much fun I totally felt like I was back in college. And then sometime that night Pat declared it's gonna be a yearly thing. "It's a way to keep in touch" he says.

Can't wait for 2011!

p.s. Ever since I graduated, I never had alcoholic drinks. This was the next time I had some and it was crazy. I knew the alcohol was kicking in coz I couldn't feel my cheeks. When I got home around 3 AM, I prepared myself for bed- brushed my teeth, washed my face, the works. But three hours later I woke up feeling dizzy. I got up to get myself a glass of water only to vomit it when I reached the bathroom. It's so painful when you are vomiting but nothing comes out. Ugh. And so my tweet goes...

Btw, it wasn't exactly a nap. It didn't even last 5 minutes. But I was trying to vomit and it was so painful, I had to squat on the floor and lean on the wall. My eyes were closed because that was 6 AM! haha And then around 5 in the evening, my allergies started emerging. I had red spots on my arms and legs. It happens whenever I have too much hard drinks. But I didn't mind. I was too happy to see my friends. :)

I feel for you

Was sulking today coz while everyone's scheduled to watch Eclipse, I was stuck at home watching PNoy's inauguration and doing my laundry. That was until I got a text from Farrah. Her boss, whose husband is the brand manager of C2 gave her two premiere tickets for the 9 pm screening at Shang. NALOKA AKO. SHEMPRE YES!!! Before you fear finding spoilers here, let me assure you that there's none. No quotable quotes and 'scene' descriptions. But let me say it was famazing! As in effin amazing! To hell with the Twilight haters but this movie is totally leaps better than the first one. The soundtrack's good too!

In the middle of the movie Farrah and I kept rooting for our boyfriends. Fa for Edward, me for Jacob. I guess I know how it feels to not be loved in return. Or be loved but in a different way. Farrah was totally into the messy and rough look of Edward. For the record, I don't like the rockstar look- messy hair, drugged eyes, hoarse voice so it was easy for me to like Jacob. His hair's always neat, he's got abs flashing like stoplights for your heart, and he's got this mega martyr heart you'd fall in love with. Edward is martyr, yes. But I'm just not into the whole disheveled look.

And oh, I couldn't help but associate some characters to local showbiz personalities. Please watch out for Victor Wood and Alfie Lorenzo. HAHAHAHA I couldn't breathe as I tried to suppress my laugh when I pointed out Alfie Lorenzo. I SWEAR, I TRIED BUT I LET OUT A SQUEAK. That moment was HILARIOUS!

Like I mentioned in my tweet, tonight I felt like a student again. Like the good old days when Fa and I would catch the last full show of a movie on a school night. When we'd stay late to catch up about life (this part not so much coz we were pressed for time), and then we'd see familiar people at the mall. I remember thinking the people who declare they miss college are just OA. Now I find myself one of them. It's different when all you care about is to be with your friends and pass you classes. When you're done with school, being with friends become a tad more difficult. We all have crazy schedules, our own plans every weekend, or some are too tired they just wanna sleep all weekend. If you're lucky, you'd get to enjoy the company of those who aren't too eager to get a job yet. I did- watched Showtime at the studio with some friends, spent three hours doing karaoke with them. I LOVE IT!

Okay...this is pretty much a sabog post. But that's how I am when I tell a story. :))
