April 28, 2009 – I went to Isulan at around 4:00 in the afternoon to attend the birthday party of my high school friend, Stephanie Dohina. It was not just her birthday but it was her 18th natal day. That means a new beginning for her. She will now be formally presented to the society as a lady. Oh wait. I guess the term lady is not suited for her. That is a very polite name for a woman, a woman of refinement. Haha. Peace Tep.
Actually, the party will start at 6pm and I was already there at around 4:30 in the afternoon. It was not obvious that I am too excited for the celebration. I was not that early to come into their place. So, I just decided to pass by an internet café which is owned by one of my friends. She was also a friend of my ex-wife. LOL. Yeah, right. We decided months ago to formally terminate our relationship. I knew Ate Nic because of her. Anyway, I just stayed there for 30 minutes, chin-wagging for 30 minutes. We just talked about the break-up issues, divulged confidential information about others. In short, we gossiped. Hee-haw. Then, I left the place and went to Kalawag Central School to also visit another friend there. Don’t you think I am so friendly? I got lots of friends. I need military forces in times of war. I need to sustain a big gang.
I have not seen this friend for a year. She was one of my best friends way back in high school. We have not seen each other for quite a long time because she studied in Manila for one semester and became an out-of-school youth for six months. But this coming year, she will go to school again and will take up education. Wow, teacher Felriz Jean Nicolas. We took a walk to their house. She just changed her clothes because she will also go with me to the party. Oh wait. I remember. Before we entered their house, a kid there called me ‘PANGIT’ and laughed at me. Well, he was just so lucky that he is a child or else I could have smashed his face and knocked him down. Then, I advised her mother to explain clearly to her child what the definition of the word ugly is because I am totally not displeasing to the senses and I do not provoke horror. JOKE. I never did that.
Then, we left their house. The kid said ‘SORRY kuya’ and ‘I LOVE YOU kuya.’ Okay Kid. Apology Accepted. I just hope you would grow up ugly. Bleh. We only walked instead of taking a ride. It was really a right decision because on our way to the celebrant’s house, we met two of our classmates in high school, Eunice and Annie. So now, there were already four of us taking a walk to Steph’s house.
Okay. Let us go to the party proper. So, the party started with the entrance of the debutant. Then, it was followed by the 18 roses. I was one of them. I was the fifth and I was the first to give her a kiss. Haha. Like I promised, that night was my turn to flirt and party. After that, we had our dinner. It was now girls’ turn, the 18 toast. My female classmates gave their wishes for the debutant. Most of the wishes were more birthday and boyfriends to come. Laughing. When the program has ended, we had a singing competition. We also had Hep-hep Hooray there, just for fun. We also had dance showdown. Of course, hindi mawawala ang inuman. Haha. After a while, some were already tipsy. They were so funny. They were like a tipsy boat in the middle of the sea. We also played card and showcased magic trick. I won once in the trick. I won thirteen pesos. Haha.
I promised my mom that I would be home by 10 in the evening but it was already April 29 but I was still at my friend’s house. They called me and told me that they are going to fetch me up at my friend’s house. They arrived at around 2 am. My former classmates also took a ride with my family back to Tacurong. I received sermons and other preaching from my parents while we were in the car. I felt so ashamed because even my friends can hear what my parents told me. Oh Boy. Parents will always be parents.
So when we arrived in the house, I ran quickly to my room and slept. I did that to escape from my angry mom and dad. As a punishment, I cannot go out with my friends this week, GROUNDED. Oh boy, I have a debut to attend this week. What will I do? I will just think about that problem some other time. For now, I need to rest. GOOD night.
