the weekend that was

for the first time in my life, i partied with a famous person. well, they say he's famous but ive never heard of him nor his band.. but nevertheless, famous is famous. haha. this is just a story of my weekend so let's go back to where it all started, my invite to go to D.C. i was invited by a good friend to spend the weekend with her in D.C. it's nothing new, i've always been a weekend guest in their apartment eversince she first came here. we had dinner at zorba's and we had one of the yummiest chicken i've ever had. this is one place im definitely bringing future guests to and im sure they will love it. after dinner, we headed out to cosi's for dessert. we had a few laughs and catching up and then we went to brickskeller. brickskeller is an awesome place. they have over 3000 beer selections from all over the world. their list is so long, you won't be able to decide on what to get. you may also resort to just shutting your eyes and pointing to the list and let your finger do the picking. i usually pick the beers that have a fruit flavor to it since i dont really like beer, too bitter for my taste. my friends go for the ones with the highest alcohol content. 10% the better. another first for me.. i used the men's bathroom. well, i can't help it! i need to pee real bad and the women's bathroom is soo gross. i told lorraine to keep watch while i run into the men's room to pee. she tried to stop me but seeing that the situation won't get any better, she followed my lead. ha! after brickskellar, we went back to jesse's apartment. while walking along P street, jesse saw someone he knew. he said hi to him and introduced us to him. i didnt really know him, i thought he was just another fil-amboy, then he said he was the lead singer of The Speaks. i was like, the who? and apparently they're pretty famous back in the Philippines (are they?). And no matter how hard victor tried to hide his true feelings, i knew he was starstruck! (haha, kidding victor, peace tayo) so he invites us to "party" with them in this one club i've never been to, although we pass by it everyday. we got in easy while there was a little line outside and inside, was well, a party. *sigh* if only im still in that stage of my life where dancing and drinking mattered then i wouldve appreciated all that. we bobbed our head a little, swayed a little here and a little there, had a couple of drinks then headed out. i felt the crowd was a little too young for me. am i old na? so we just hung out at jesse's apartment, drank hypnotique and coke and went home at 4:30 am. 4:30 am??!! i've never been up for that long for almost 6 months! im so not used to it. but it was fun. had a little bonding time with victor, comfort here, high-fives there, huggies and back pats. it was all good.

i also did a little bit of shopping *ira slaps hands* "bad, ira! bad!"

i know i shouldnt have but i couldnt help it. i got two RL polo shirts for only $15.00 each! i got a cool sweater from H&M for $15.00 and 4 shirts from Gap and H&M for about 7 dollars each. wasnt that an awesome bargain? i wish i could post pics but im too tamad. maybe some other day.

it was allll gooood.

The Speaks...

Yeah, I might also have heard of that name in this here crawl-hole.

If I remember it right, and if my word-association utility serves me well, they're a one-hit wonder. Which equates itself with another yawn. Which in turn leads to another yawn, and then it goes on ahead to bore you silly in this non-terminating cycle.

Hello Ira, muah!
