My Long-Weekend Diary...........

Friday Night
(Sleep, Sleep, Sleep.)
I didn't go out on Friday night. I stayed home and tried to get caught-up with my 'beauty sleep.' As ya'll know from Monday to Friday, I only sleep for 5-6 hours. (Ask the ghost! He knows that! And half the time, we could probably say that it's the ghost's fault. He haunts yours truly all the time. --- censored --- .

Saturday Morning
(Sleep, Sleep, Sleep)
I did the most logical thang to do, I slept all day! I sometimes call this process "mini-hibernation." I love it. I like to sleep. (Of course, staying awake would be bearable if --- censored --- .

Saturday Afternooon
(My Bestfriend, Lyndaile's De li ma este Drama [?] )
1:00PM
I forcibly woke-up and took my bestfriend's phone call. It took my slow brain half an hour to understand what was really going on. Maybe, it was the fact that I just woke up and my brain processing was way too slow, or maybe it was because Lyndaile was hysterical and I could only understand 1 out of 10 words that said. Half an hour later, the hystirics died and she was only sobbing. I finally understood what was wrong ---- her boyfriend (who's a band member) left her for a hoooker. (Same old story. Men, they can be evil.) My bestfriend only stopped crying when I told her that I'd take her out to some bar so we can talk and chill. (Maybe, even find her another band member.)

Saturday Evening
(At the Bar)
8:00 PM
We stood outside of that damn place, til they finally opened at 9:30PM. To be on the safe side, I made it a point to order the drinks for us. I started with a pitcher of Margaritas, then Lyndaile started re-telling me "her break-up story" for the nth time. Two hours later, we started drinking screw drivers, sex on the beach and pina collada's. (They weren't pitchers. We only ordered 1 for each of us!) Then come the flavored vodkas. First, we ordered lemon flavored vodka, orange flavored vodka, strawberry flavored vodka and a blue vodka. (I can't remember what that was. Maybe, it was a blueberry flavored vodka.) An hour before closing time, I realized that my bestfriend have had too much and I needed to convice here that it was time to go. She threatened to cry so I sat down again, and started staring at the remaining vodkas. A tear fell from her eye, so I took it as a que to start drinking shamelessly again. Finally, the manager claimed that it was closing time and that they won't sell us any alcohol anymore. My bestfriend had that LOOK. It was a look that says she wanted trouble. So I decided to do something about it and told her that I have a reasonable amount of alcohol at home. That satisfied her. We started the "hard task" of walking, and then flagging a cab. My bestfriend was half dead at that time so I was happy and thought that the drinking was finally ended, but to my astonishment, my bestfriend remained awake (and disregarded her dead parts) and got mad when the cab stopped by her apartment. We ended up doing the "moon walk" este drunken walk again, flagged another cab and went to my apartment. You'd think she saw "GOLD" when she looked at my alcohol bottles in the counter. She finally grab my unflavored vodka and started mixing it with coke and water. Thank God for that. I wouldn't have survived if we did it in shots. She finally accepted the fact that she was drunk and she have had it after we finished=up the half bottle of my vodka. It was past 5:00AM already, but I felt oblidged to grab her, walk and half dragged her out of my apartment and into a cab, and to her doorstep. You'd never believe the look in her cousin's eye when she saw her. It was priceless. Maybe, her cousin scared my drunken butt or maybe, I was just tired coz it was half past 3AM already, but I went home after that.

Sunday Morning and Afternoon
(H a n g- O V E R) It was very bad.
8:00 AM
It was Brandy. She reminded me about the foursome all ghurl trip to the Amusement and Water Park! I jumped out of bed, drank some powdered aspirin, jumped in the shower, packed my gear, rubbed tanning oil all over my body, put on my bikini, and I was ready! I started running to Brandy's house. I wasn't that late. Ming was still in the shower. So Juanita and I chatted and gossip for a lil bit. Women! For a 44-year old woman, Juanita is COOL. She is comfortable when hanging out with us Twenty fivers (that's Brandy and I) and twenty eighters (that's ming). 9:00AM and everyone was finally ready. We flagged a cab and we got to the amusement park after an hour. We were surprised to see Thais wearing one-piece suits and swimsuits with skirts and we debated whether we'd wear our bikini's or not. Common sense prevailed, so we got out of our shorts and tops and exposed our bikini's. (It took me awhile to get comfortable because there were about 1,500 souls in that place.) Ah well. The only good thing about wearing bikini's is this --- we get first go in all the rides, slides, or dives. We went to the 80feet slider and the que was long, but all men agreed to let us go first. Brandy and I slid like 5x. We tried the 100feet slider once and that was it. That damn thing was dangerous and mean. Water splashed in our butts when we landed from that slide! Ouch! We did the tunnel spiral rides and it was fun too. Fun before I had that accident. This damn brude of a man wasn't sliding and was just sitting there. Coming from a sharp and dangerous curve in the spiral tunnel, I was approaching him way too fast and there wasn't anyway to stop. I ended up hitting his back and I got thrown. My shoulder and back hit the sides. I thought I saw stars for awhile, but it's all good. Ming says that if I broke my neck or a rib, I would have been in the hospital by now. She said that the pain is only in the muscular area. I guess, I can say that I'm lucky. We decided to quit the slides and do the dives. The dives were too damn hard and it hurt our back so bad that we had to quit that one too. We ended up doing the rides. We rode the roller coaster, the "loop the loop", the rocket, the inverted ship, the dangerous river boats, and etc. (The boats weren't that dangerous. It was the water that was dangerous. The water was so filthy that if you fall into the water, you'd die on the spot!) Then, we went to the dinosaur museums and the Great China. We played those gongs afterwards, then explored the bathroom for more adventure. (kidding) Nature's call! We got back at 7:00PM and agreed to meet at 8:00PM for dinnner at a Petrol Station which is a neutral place for the gang.

Sunday Evening
Dinner Time
8:00PM
We took the skytrain and stopped at Asok station. We went to a small run-down chinese restaurant. The place was ridiculously crowded, but we were hungry so we waited for an hour anyway to get a table. (Crazy people.) I almost got in a fight with 2 drunken men coz they tried to over take our que, but in the end, common sense prevailed and I just ignored them. (They weren't worth my sweat. ***winks.) After an hour and ten minutes of waiting, we finally got a table. We waited another ten minutes for the waitress/waiters to clean the table and give us the menu. We ordered as fast as we could. We ordered boat-loads. After an hour of hungry waiting, we got our food. Not all of it, but at least some. By the time we finished it was almost midnight. The only good thing about that place is that the BILL was way too inexpensive that we even asked them to check our orders and the prizes again. Then, we took the cab back, stopped at a mango shop and brandy bought sweet mangoes with sticky rice while I managed to buy some milkshake. We went back to Brandy's place and watched a movie. The film was finished at 1:30AM and I insisted on going home because of the following reasons: 1. I wanted to check my e-mail and see if somebody wrote me. 2. I couldn't sleep if I slept at brandy's house coz it's the way I am. I can only sleep in my own bed. 3. My house was 200meters away. In the end, I bolted out of Brandy's house and run like mad til I got home.

Monday Morning
Sleep, Rest, Relax. (My body is starting to feel the pain.)
10:30AM
I got up! Hit the shower, oiled my body, put on my bikini, packed my bag and waited at the "party store" for Brandy. We headed to Sarah's apartment bldg to use the swimming pool. It was pretty deserted so we stayed until about 3PM. Feeling burned, tired, hot and hungry, we finally went home. We walked! That was one of the longest walks in my entire life. I showered and lay down for awhile. Then, I got up, changed into PROPER clothes and went off to buy flowers. I spend half an hour to set-up my flower arrangements for my apartment. ( I have yellow and pinkish roses, some green plants and red and yellow daisy-like plants.) My room feels like home! (The only thang missing is Him. What's taking him so long?) I read books and then, danced for a few minutes. Showered again.
