2011, you're mine and I know it!
This year was different since I had my Dagupan friends to welcome my birthday come June 2– over a bottle of tequila, that deadly submarine (tequila + beer) concoction, more beer, and a one hitter quitter, I was out. Puked right outside our bahay kubo in Peping’s, that the boys had to bring me home! Woke up the next day with a bruise on my right thigh a-la The Hangover. Took a leave on Friday for beauty errands in preparation for my party in Attica the next day.
I loved having everyone who mattered (except for my high school friends, whom I decided to throw a separate party for) all in the same place, having drinks with me. I liked the feeling so much that I’ve decided to throw a party every year moving forward! Attica didn’t charge me corkage for the 4 bottles of Black Label I brought, then we had 3 bottles of tequila & beer. Awesome party, awesome feeling, awesome friends, awesome drunkenness! (I tripped in my heels along Makati Ave in front of Wendy’s because I was sooo wasted!)
My Dagupan friends- along with my Colgate BFF Patti who came all the way from Baguio just to be there :)

I’m so happy to be surrounded by friends who will support me every step of the way. Though things aren’t working as stellar as I’d like them to be, I really can’t complain about anything. I have a good life, a nice job, and a lot more things I should be thankful for. Indeed the quarter life crisis isn’t supposed to make me question what I don’t have, but rather appreciate what I do have in my life. Things are good, and I’m looking forward to an adventure-filled back half of 2011!
