That Man

1-Almost Tipsy

It's pass 11 in the evening and I'm here inside my friend's room staring at the ceiling....

"Sasama ka ba o hahayaan nalang kita ditong magkaroon ng stiff neck?!", she shouts at me, her hands crossed above her chest.

Well to tell you, I know she's annoyed now.

"Hoy ano ba?! Alam kong naiintindihan mo ko kaya sumagot ka, Sybil.", she's now more calm than awhile before.

As if she never shouted in front of my face DUH!

"Pwede ba, Aya? Stop asking me!", I replied to her and she looks so confused. I guess I get that look

"We both know na sasama ako sayo because you won the bet and that's your order. So why ask for my permission anyway?!", I shouted because right now, I'm really irritated.

"Because you might back out!", this time she took a seat beside me at the edge of her bed.

"Of course not. You know that, Aya."

She grin and said, "Good girl, Sybil."

This week is a haggard week for me but good thing this is the last day.

So you see I lost the bet last week to my friend and we both agreed that the loser will be a "nanny/body guard" of the winner for the whole week. And all of their wishes will be granted.. for a week

From bringing her home-cooked food down to making her assignments for the whole week is just too much UGH! And for the last day of my consequence, she asked me to go to the party. And I don't like it.

Why? Because I don't want to talk to people. It's not because I'm a snob introverted bitch but... I just don't want any bullshits from other people anymore.

Don't get me wrong ha. Medyo mabait naman ako. Di naman ako ganun kataray. But since I moved to Philippines couple of years ago, I've been afraid to be close to other people.

Lalo na dito sa Philippines... I don't know why, but I notice that most Filipinos, when they see a foreigner, they treat you in a different way. I can't explain but it's just what I noticed since I went here. I could say that I feel isolated to this place. Maybe it's just me... And since then, I don't usually socialize.

But at least I have friends. Aya and Ellie. I met them when we were freshmen at Johnson International University- an international school full of rich Filipinos and some expats like me and Ellie. Aya and Ellie is enough for me to enjoy my stay here in Philippines.

Back to the topic, so Aya wants me to do this because I know she wants to annoy me. She knows that I don't like social gatherings especially "a party".

@ Florence City Club...

"Hey, Sybil come on! Drink this for God's sake! !", Aya said and gave me a shot of tequila. Pinandidilatan na nya ko and nakakatuwa sya. She already had 3 shots of tequila and ako wala parin akong iniinom.

I laugh while grabbing the tequila from her. "Why are you laughing? Narealize mo na ba?", she asked.

After I drank the tequila I asked her "what?" out of my confusion.

This club is a nice club- pretty much like in London. And I like the aura. But still, people are so foreign to my eyes.

"Narealize mo na na nakakamiss din pumarty and mag boy watching! DUH!", she shouted at me dahil maingay dito sa bar and she continued to sway to the beat of the loud music.

I admit. Namimiss ko rin ang night life. I was that kind of girl. The loud music, different alcohol, different people and a lot of guys. I never tried to party here in Philippines so this must be a first to me.
