that's definitely how i felt today, yesterday and the day before.
the sleep deprivation started on thursday night, when my groupmates in introse and i were cramming the requirements specificaiton document which was due on friday. we (rommel and i) slept at almost 4am. naturally, i wouldn't be able to wake up at 6am for my 8am introso class, so i asked jerwin to miscall me at around 6am, and if i didn't miscall him back within 5 minutes, miscall me again on 7am which would make me miss my introso class. but disaster struck.
i set my alarm in the cellphone for 6am. i was able to wake up (level 5 ringing with vibrations) but i wasn't aware if it was the alarm or jerwin calling. my drooping eyes defeated me, and i slept again. i knew (rather, i hoped) that jerwin would call me on 7am. but it never came. because of my stupidity. when i woke up at 6am, i placed the cellphone on my other side. unfortunately, that other side is a dead spot. no signal. jerwin's call wouldn't be able to get through. i woke up at almost 10am.
absent for 3 of my classes!! shit. the only class i wouldn't be absent for was genpsyc. but when i look back, i'm fulfilled, coz we finished the requirements specs. not really...
our first dep exam in comorga was returned. i got a 61.5. not bad for a 60 passing mark. unfortunately (again), the passing for comorga is 70.
okay, friday finished as quickly as it started. i went home, turned on the pc, you know, the usual stuff. i slept at 11pm. i woke up, surprisingly not, at 11am. twelve consecutive hours of sleep. actually, not consecutive, coz i woke up at around 3am to pee.
okay, so i woke up at 11am. the first thing i do in the morning is look at my cellphone for the time. i didn't know what surprise i would see in the phone, and in the days ahead.
2 missed calls. all from don covar.
that's weird, don almost never calls me. 2 messages received. all from don covar.
that's very weird for don. i immediately read his messages. the first one read:
hoy asan ka na?? or something like that...
the second one read:
ei albert! magimpake ka na! sasama tayo kay anco sa montalban... again, something like that. i deleted the messages coz of sheer absurdity that was facing me. i was still groggy and sleepy so i didn't know if the things i were reading were true. so i called him. waaaahhh. the stupid guy wasn't kidding!!! he said we were going to go with anco to celebrate his birthday (anco's birthday was really last monday, october 11). but i remembered anco texted me that they will leave dlsu at 12nn. which means i should be leaving right that moment to arrive at 12nn in dlsu. another shit.
i asked don who were coming with us. kaine, ian, tj ramos, tj lumang. okay, i knew 3 out of 4. i didn't know tj ramos that much that time. plus don and anco, whom i both know very well. okay, game. i just told don to tell anco to wait for me.
i immediately took a bath, packed my bags, and left. hehehe. well, this wasn't an everyday opportunity. you have to grasp it while it's there. i was able to leave las piñas at around 1140am. not bad i guessed. it wasn't really going to be a long ride to dlsu coz it's a saturday and all...
i arrived at dlsu 1230pm. luckily, they were still there. anco, kaine, don, and tj ramos were already there. so i walked around lasalle with don while still waiting for the others. i ate cheeseburger and egg sandwich in agno for lunch. i'm not really hungry, coz i was hyped!
at around 120pm, all of us were there, excpet tj lumang. turns out he wouldn't come with us. so the six of us left lasalle, riding in anco's ford e150. hehehe. (karen tama ba?
)
i was a bit uncomfortable coz of tj's presence (hehe sorry bout this one tj...) we weren't really that acquainted. heck, we weren't acquainted at all! but most of us kept quiet during the whole ride. tj turned out to be a cool person. anco's mentioned that tj was going to sign contracts for abs-cbn, which made me curious about this guy. more on this contract later.
we arrived in tom's resort (turns out that the place we were staying in was owned by tom, which was tj) at about... i dunno... 3pm? anyway, we settled our stuffs in the cottage, and quickly dived in the pool. whew. felt really good after that long ride plus the sunny weather. the water was cold of course. anco had an underwater camera and we toyed with that for a while... plus the wacky pictures of anco "peeing" and tj "drinking his pee." hahaha!! what a riot. told you tj was cool. hehehe.
while we were swimming, anco kept on pressing me to "drink" with them. naturally, i was game!
we ate dinner (andok's chicken and donuts and many many more, hehehe) and at around 9pm, anco, tj and i went outside to buy our drinks. we decided to drink gin (i suggested that, hehehe) and make our own gin pomelo. we went to a store (geez, tj was known by almost everyone and called him sir ramos) and bought our stuffs. we bought 4 bottles of gin, 2 bottles of red horse, 5 packs of pomelo juice and 2 packs of orange juice. we went back to the resort.
i was still full at that time, but the ice we bought were melting, so we decided to drink even if we were still full. i don't like to drink when i'm full. i always feel that i would throw up.
anyway, there were 3 other people with us, one of which was tj's cousin and the other two were his cousin's friends. 2 of them drank with me, tj, and anco. the first drink we drank (duh) was the gin orange. the mixer (one of tj's cousin's friends) filled a plastic cup until it was half-full, and gave the cup to one person, that person drinks it, and then the next, and then the next, you get the picture.
after 5 half-filled cups of gin orange, 3 half-filled cups of gin pomelo, i was already seeing stars.
i didn't want to drink past my drinking limit, coz of fear of vomiting, so i went inside, with don and kaine (both of these guys didn't drink, the gays... hehehe...
peace tayo kaine! don, beh!!)
i was already light-headed. as in light-headed. tipsy. the room was revolving right before my very eyes. but i was still conscious. don, kaine and i talked mostly about don's love life (ehem ehem). don't worry don, i won't expound on this.
at around... 12am? anco and tj went inside in our room. anco was REALLY drunk. he was saying a lot of funny things, which i doubt he was able to remember. tj wasn't drunk at all. and he drank almost twice as much as i drank. i asked him why he seemed almost unaffected by the gin.
sanay na eh. tsk tsk tsk... that's bad for a future star.
hehehe. anco was really entertaining us. he kept on talking, and tj joked along. they were mentioning ryu (ma) and ken (take), two professors, which of course i wouldn't name, lollipop (nyahaha), and a lot lot more. truly an unforgettable night.
tj went to the other room to sleep. anco already fell asleep with kaine. don was in the floor, waiting for jo*ce's reply. nyahahaha!! i was in the other bed. at 1am, i was still up. the 3 peeps outside were still talking and playing loud music, i couldn't sleep at all even if i closed my eyes and ears. everyone else (lasallians) were asleep. i was sleepy, thirsty, and tired. but i couldn't sleep. it was really noisy. i stared into oblivion for four gruelling hours. i was able to sleep at around 5am, and woke up at 8am. 3 fucking hours of sleep.
anco's driver was supposed to pick us up at 1030am, so we decided to swim again, while waiting for our breakfast. we ate, the driver came, and we left. (it's 1135 guys and i still have to do that introso shit so i'm cutting things short) we dropped tj and his cousin and his cousin's friends off somewhere... that's when i remembered that i still had tj's short which he lent me so i could wear something when we swim. i wasn't able to bring one coz anco didn't tell us that we were going to a resort. we dropped ibana next, and then kaine and don in torre lorenzo.
anco and i (plus the driver) passed by festival mall coz anco had to buy his "kikay kit." hehehe. he dropped me off at my house at around 2pm. i wanted to sleep, but surprisingly, i wasn't feeling sleepy at all. so i decided to wash my dirty pants, some clothes, my jacket, and the shorts i borrowed from tj. unfortunately, the store was closed and we were out of washing machine powder, so i had to wait for the store to open.
clueless was being aired in hbo so we watched that first. pretty cool movie, though the flirty talking were a bit too much. but a good story nonetheless. the store opened, i washed my stuffs...
this is getting too long. and i still have lots to say. but i better end this.
parting words: thanks a lot to anco for treating me and the guys out. it was really a fun and enjoyable experience. and definitely an unforgettable one. thanks to tj for being cool a cool guy, and very hospitable, since he owned the place and all. this guy really amazes me. remember the contract thing? wow. someday, i will be able to say,
may nakainuman na akong artista!! wahahaha!!!
woi tj, bawas bawasan ang inom at yosi pag artista na ha... hehehe...
i was really disappointed coz i wasn't able to attend danica's debut. i'm really sorry, but it can't be helped...
anyhow, hope you enjoyed this post, as much as i did in writing it. that's barely half of what i'm supposed to share with you guys, but it really can't be helped. i'm sleepy, and haven't done the introso project. so there...
bonne nuit everyone!!
