Uhg.
Throbbing headache. Whats wrong with me? I never woke up with a throbbing headache unless, naparami inom ko nang nagdaang gabi.
I forced my eyes open kahit pa ayaw ng katawan ko, Damn this hangover! Ano bang nangyare sakin kagabi?
I tried turning on my back.
BLAG!!
Sh*t! Wrong move.
What the hell?! Nahulog ako. Ano 'to? Sa couch ako nakatulog? Double Shit!
Naupo ako at isinandal ang likod ko sa paanan ng couch, I buried my face in my palms, trying hard to remember what happened last night.
F*ck! I was in a drinking spree with Charlie! And I passed out? Tangina! Napatumba ko ng babaeng yon? This is so unbelievable. And so damn embarassing, if I should say. Here I was thinking na pabor sakin ang laban. Who would have known na malakas pala s'yang uminom? Napailing lang ako. Isa kong malaking talunan.
Naalala ko yung pustahan namin. Sayang! Biyaya na naging bato pa! Langya, lasinggera pala yung hinamon ko. Way to go, Ram!
Natawa na lang ako sa sarili ko, pag nalaman to ng mga kaibigan ko, habang buhay na nila 'kong aasarin. Pero bakit ba? For sure, maging sila kayang patumbahin ng babaeng yun! I got up. Nagtungo ako sa kitchen, and found a glass of water and two aspirins lying in the kitchen counter. Charlie prepared this?
"Ang sweet naman ng baby ko." Natawa ko sa nasabi ko.
Under the glass of water was a note:
Dear Ram,
First of all, you're such a pussy for passing out on me last night. But that clearly means I won the bet so congratulations to me. Here's a glass of water and aspirin for you, puss. I'll bet my pinky you've got hangover right now. Btw, I'm in the grocery.
Napangiti ako. Yeah, I'm such a pussy when It comes to you, babe.
P.S. I took your credit card.
Napahalakhak ako. Tusong babae yun ah? Sinamantala nya ang kahinaan ko kagabi. I made a mental note not to get drunk again when she's around.
Nagtungo ako sa CR para mag hilamos sana. Man I feel so stiff! Pakiramdam ko nabugbog ako, o nakipagsex ng five rounds, and no naps. Speaking of sex, pakiramdam ko may dapat akong maalala sa mga nangyari kagabi eh.
That sick feeling na there's something you're supposed to remember pero sobrang sakit ng ulo ko, hindi ako makapagisip.
I went straight to the sink. Ano bang nangyare kagabi? Cmon, Ram! Think! Pero lalo kong nakalimutan yung dapat kong maalala nang mapatingin ako sa salamin.
"Holy sh*t! F*ck!"
Panay sulat ang mukha ko. I have a mustache, spectacles and girly doodles on my face. That woman!
Maybe if this happened under different circumstances, or if any other girl did this to me, I would have been mad. Or irritated. But It was Charlie who did this. That tease!
I ended up laughing like a maniac in the CR.

Nakangisi ako habang pinapanuod kong mapuno ng groceries ang cart ko. Thanks to Ram's credit card, may unlimited supply kame ng pagkain ngayon sa apartment.
That guy, para syang inosenteng highschooler, ang dali dali nyang lasingin. Hindi nya napansin na inaaliw ko lang sya kagabi at dinadaya ko sya sa tagay. Grabe! Mas naive pa sya sakin kesa nung una kong masubukan uminom ng alak.
