i filed for leave today because i have an appointment with my eye doctor. to my horror i woke up at 10 a.m. i hastily took my bath and grabbed a quick breakfast. hopped on a cab going to aces clinic at velez hospital. somewhere in happy valley, juliet texted me to remind me about the tattoo session at chin’s in-law’s place. <no, i didn’t enlist myself to have self-inflicted pain. i was merely a member of the support group, ready to cheer on and hopefully give full support to chin’s new venture.> knowing juliet, i didn’t reply to her immediately because i know i’d be up for a tongue-lashing should she learn that i’m still in the cab when it’s already past 11 a.m. <haha, she’ll forever nag me for coming to work past 8><peace jhulz! (",)> as soon as i reached the clinic, i texted juliet that i’ll meet up with her in the office.

12:00 p.m. came, the support group all shutdown their pcs, ready to imbibe free booze. yeah, we we’re all lured by the promise of free alcohol <joke:)>

pikoy, jojo, neil, greg, russel, juliet and me all hopped on homer’s ride to get to west city homes. minutes after we got to the meeting place, we all shared lunch, where jhulz and i emerged last women standing. the 4-hour tattoo session followed. sometime within the tattoo and drinking session, i got an sms message from jen asking me to call her. she informed me that she received a uk job offer. excited at the news, all the rh that i’ve imbibed somehow left my system. if things go well, i truly believe that this is the opportunity that she’s been waiting all her life. after the phone talk, i went back to the tattoo session where i didn’t realize the number of times i got hold of the rh glass. yeah, i think it was the first time that didn’t monitor myself. i felt like throwing up, but for some reason it just wouldn’t come out. jhulz had a lot of fun at my expense for not knowing how to tickle my throat to induce vomiting. yeah, i have no predisposition for bulimia..hehehe..

as if we haven’t had enough of the free booze, the support group all decided to go to lapu-lapu to attend a co-worker’s birthday celebration. actually, it was only the boys who were invited by philmore to his party. i couldn’t remember what prodded jhulz and i to tag along nor could i recall the reason  for enlisting line as the third party-crasher. anyway, we all went to jy to meet up with philmore and the other invited guests. but prior to going to lapu-lapu, jhulz and i bought cornetto. according to jhulz, it’d help clear up our heads, at least as a temporary relief.

the whole crew went to sm, where we hailed a v-hire going to philmore’s place. there we had a healthy dinner. listening to voice of reason, i didn’t succumb to the temptation of gulping more alcohol. perhaps because i developed the worst headache after the v-hire ride. on the other hand, the little inebriated juliet, left the place without telling the others that she’s going home. [however, according to jhulz - she did inform me, but i was a little fuzzy to remember her message^^]. after the male crew had a few drinks, we all decided to call it a night. from philmore’s place, we all walked towards no-idea where. from there we took a jeepney going to highway mandaue and then another going to the city. the jeepney ride going to the city didn’t do me any good. it wrecked havoc to my stomach. thus, line and i alighted from the vehicle when we reached asilo. haha, told line not to speak to me for fear that i might throw up should i open my mouth. we then proceeded to the nearest cr. ha, the women’s toilet at the shell station didn’t have any lighting. lighting or not, my stomach couldn’t hold the alcohol and food any longer and threw up for all my worth. as if fate was playing a joke on me, the sink at the women’s cr got stuck. yeah, i had no choice but to leave the scene of the crime without guilt feelings. [nah, there's just nothing i could do then..]

the crazy saturday ended with line and i staying for the night at the hotel that my college teacher’s family owned. thanks to the power of plastic; <to the horror of my sister again! lol!!> i had the best sleep ever. what with a queen-sized bed and AC in full blast, i didn’t even notice line return from getting an overnight pack from her place. on top of that, we had a nice free breakfast.
