Self turn 27 today.
Self told everybody that she’s going to hybernate on this day but she did not. After attending mass, self had lunch with her friends.
Self had a party the previous night.
Earlier that day though, she was upset. Things that she planned are happening out of her control and self felt bad.
To control her emotions, she started cooking the spaghetti sauce she promised to bring at the party. They missed Filipino Style spaghetti sauce and self gave all her best to make it somehow good. Afterwards, she went to the store to buy the ingredients for her kaldereta. It was the first time she’ll cook the said dish and she was praying hard that friends will like it.
Things went out well at her apartment. Self was by herself on this special occassion, no family was with her but then, self tried her best to make this day a happy one with friends she love and respect most.
Self burn her one week salary for this party. Thanks to her friend who hook her up to alcohol and they were able to buy good one with cheap prices. They had Jose Cuervo tequila, Absolut vodka, Remy Martin cognac and Corona beers. Another friend bought a Chivas Regal whisky which were no longer opened for all were hammered. For someone who always says never mixed liquor with beer, self is the number one violator that night.
Before the drinking session, things run smoothly among them. Having all invited friends come. Even the gate crashers enjoyed the party. Self was so happy indeed except for another thing that pisses her-off.
Self felt important today, no one has to object on her. She’s so proud! Self requested from a friend her special dessert. She love this dessert so much that she asked her to make one that she can take home. Everyone living in that house knows that they can not touch this dessert. Anyway, self’s friend made two, so one is for the party, the other is for her alone.
After everyone ate… one of self’s friend has to go home and she and other two friends accompany him to his car. Afterwards, self with her friends had their picture taken on the driveway going back to the backyard were they hold the party. Finally, when they were back, she saw her special dessert out with the guest devoured by someone who were specifically informed that the dessert was to go home with her. Someone offered the special dessert to her guest, the gate crasher. Oh well, self have nothing against the gate crasher… it is just that someone is too nosy that self and friends don’t really like her and what she was doing is really irritating.
In the end, self had to ask friend to take the quarter of the special dessert and keep it, the other quarter to another guest who like this dessert a lot, too. And the remaining to be kept in the table.
Self knows its just a dessert so why self gone on a big fuzz against it. But it was actually because she was informed about the special dessert. Who gave her the right to offer it without asking self first? Whereas, self don’t touch anything that belongs to her.
Self was so upset that she started the drinking session early. So upset when she don’t find enough limes/lemon for the tequila and corona that self ran alone on the store to buy some. Self need air or she’ll burst on the party. So upset that self let herself loose. Every people in the party who knows her as someone so serious where probably shocked especially the Russian boyfriend of friend whom self keep on talking with.
Self was so loud!!! Friends were asking her to stop drinking but self told them to let her be. As the day was special. For self, it is a night of madness, craziness and stupidity. Self was so hammered that she probably can no longer walk without the support of friend. As self was so thankful to friend for accompanying her to go home and tend her as she go to sleep.
Overall, self was so Happy. The party was a hell lot of fun!!!
