First off, some people have told me that they're confused with the location of my comments area. Sorry about that, folks, but I don't think I can do anything about it. When I changed my template, that was the only location for the comments for it to actually exist. Anyway, readers (meron ba ko nun? haha joke!) if you want to comment, click the "comments" at the end of the blog and that's the comment for that blog. Did that make sense?

Your Thursday Horoscope, Kay Velasco!If you are tired or unfocused today, blame it on your misuse of free time. A chance to get things done in a big way at work will not wait forever, and today's great opportunity will not wait for you forever.

hahaha how true! With all the hours in the day, you'd think I'd be able to do everything I want to do, but nooo. With all the things that I need to do and want to do, I end up not doing much of both and lacking sleep to boot! Haaaay, how I wish it were vacation already! During vacation, I have to fix and organize my files, rest, read some books (a must!) and sleep. And also, hang out with my friends coz I miss them na! You'd think it would be easy to hang out with each other and just kick back and relax because, after all, we all do live in one village and everybody's dorms are just walking distance. And yet, with the hectic life that is medicine, we don't really get to spend much time together. I'm really glad though, that lately, I've been able to spend time with them. Nakaka-miss talaga yung barkadang fackk-jjmm LOL

Ooh and memo to me: will not get drunk anymore. Hm... or to rephrase that for a more viable goal: must not get too drunk no more LOL Monday night, Je (Aug 28) and Cat (Sept 2) celebrated their birthday with a party at Mike's dorm with the whole block (humbio 92, focus 2000 - yeeba!) invited. There was drinking, chips, drinking, picture taking, drinking, kwentuhan, drinking, fortune telling, and, yes, let's not forget drinking. I think they started at around 8 or 9 but I was only able to go at around 11. I had just had my computer newly fixed with brand new non-bugged Windows XP and Albright had just lent me his Microsoft Office CD. I was happily tapping away at my keyboards when I received Gia's text to go to Mike's dorm. After maybe an hour or half an hour later, I shut down my computer and waltzed towards Mike's.

I think I'm now the official photographer of the block LOL lagi ko nang dala ang aking digicam (hindi pa nawawala yung "new-ness" niya eh) and our barkada, and block, is very fond of picture taking LOL So, anyway, armed with my camera, I went there. They asked me to drink vodka, the pure version, which I've tasted before and didn't like it. The second taste didn't make things any better and I think I'll have to chalk down vodka as one of those drinks that I'd rather not drink. Give me tequila any day.

They had no other drinks, so I went back to my dorm to get my old alcoholic drinks just lying around here reminding me of the money I spent on them (hahaha!), so I went back to Mike's with my Bailey's and Gilbey's Gin Island Punch, Pineapple flavor. The Bailey's wasn't so nice wihtout ice and there wasn't any in Mike's. Earl was already drunk when I got there, so I decided to keep him company. Besides, for some weird reason, I felt like getting drunk that night. So get drunk I did.

Earl and I finished the bottle of Gilby's Gin... I would pour out one glass, drink half of it, give it to Earl. Earl would sometimes finish it all and sometimes, he'd only finish half of his half and then give it back to me to finish. Understandable naman yon eh. After all, the guy was already drunk and I was the one catching up.

I ended up drunk... and there are some bits and pieces I remember... and others I've forgotten. The next day, I was surprised at myself that I actually was able to make it for my 8am class. And I wasn't even late (yay me!) but, unfortunately, I had this alcohol-after-taste at the back of my throat. My groupmates/friends said that it was a hang-over. Since I've never experienced it before and my idea of a hang-over was aching head, bloodshot eyes, unstead stomach, and residual alcoholic mood/actions, I didn't really think that what I was experiencing was a hang-over. But whatever... I wasn't able to eat properly until I threw up a bit. I hate throwing up. And to throw up what I drank seems like a big fat waste of alcoholic drinks. I can't deny it made me feel better, though.

So, ayon, memo to me: I will not drink anymore.

Yknow... better pick a viable goal, rephrase: I will not drink that much anymore. As bad as it is, I gotta admit that getting tipsy does have some appeal. But I don't want doing it on a regular basis. Or even on an "often" basis.
