ONE BEERy FINE TRIP (it was a 24-hour drinking sesscion. Promise.)

First off, how nice was the weather last Sunday?!?!

I was going to write about the stuff we did in Galera but halfway through, I realized that it wasn't good enough. In fact, I'm having a very hard time finding the most accurate words to describe this trippy trip. I have a feeling that whatever words I use will be an understatement. That's how much fun I had.

I know that this is definitely better than my 1st trip to Galera. Even if we woke up almost 3 hours late Sunday morning (because we drank too much the previous night) and got to Galera just before noon. Even after we were devastated to find out that the last boat leaves at 3pm and taking that boat would make our trip soooo bitin (we decided to stay for the night and leave very early Monday morning so we can get to our respective offices by noon) .

While drinking Sunday night, I had one of the most convoluted conversations with Katya, a gay waiter-ess at the bar were drinking in. He sat down with us to smoke and drink. Sorry, medyo bastos pero naki-ride lang naman ako...

Katya: You know, I'm a man-hater.
Me: Me naman, I'm a man-eater.
Katya: Me din! You also give blowjobs?
Me: Oh yes.
Katya: Sige nga, blowjob mo nga ako!

I was so entertained by her..errr..him, that we decided to exchange cellphone numbers so we can go out when she, i mean he's (dammit!) in Manila.

UNEXPECTED FRIENDSHIPS

I know that despite of the fact I only met them May of this year, my friendships with Gea, Jun and Malic have run as deep, if not deeper, than some of the long-term friendships I keep.

To Gea, Malic and Jun , you guys are, so far, my life's most pleasant surprise. Thank you for the very healthy and intelligent conversations and the sooo not healthy drinking sessions. Thank you for being the people I laugh with the most and for not making me cry even when I already want to(tama na siguro na si Malic lang yung iyakin saatin? kidding!). Thank you for believing in me and for having the confidence that I, the ever-kikay Bunny, can conquer the mountains we climb. For all those times na nag-iinarte ako, thank you for not getting pissed at me. Basta, thanks for taking care of me.

You know how people say that "Birds of the same feather, flock together"? Apparently, I'm the kind of bird who can change feathers (if there is such a kind). Hahahaha! From a high-heels-wearing-frozen-margarita-drinking-chick, you guys have actually succeeded in making me drink gin from a shot glass. And to this day, it remains a mystery as to why I like it. You guys have made me discover a part of myself that I never knew existed. And it's not just mountain climbing ha? (Until now, a few friends find it hard to believe that I actually climb) I read somewhere that, "The true meaning of life is not being comfortable all the time. It is trusting that something good could come out of adversity." I will eternally be grateful to you guys for taking me out of my comfort zone and actually helping me, well, find comfort and happiness in it.

Last week, I found myself wondering where I'm getting all this strength I now have. And now I know, its from friends like the 3 of you who constantly remind me that materials things are not needed to enjoy life to the fullest.

Gea, my amazing race partner and current bestfriend-in-the-making, you have no idea how much sense you make, even when we're totally wasted na. Thank you for the hard whacks on the head when I super need them and for just being so brutally honest and true.

Malic, my very own drama king. You are...well, you're one of a kind. And if I ever come across someone like you in the future (i highly doubt it), be rest assured that you will always be the best kind. I guess I made a good choice to make you kulit during our climb in Pangil. You are my ultimate protector. If it weren't for your strong hands (ohhh la la!), baka nahulog na ako sa bundok. It's amazing how we click, despite our differences. You know how much you mean to me naman tiba? Kung tumangkad tangkad ka lang eh...hahahaha!

And Jun, the first time I met you, kala ko manyak ka. Hindi....hindi....hindi ako nagkamali. Har har! Seriously though, you're one of the funniest people I know. I sometimes feel like I found my male version in you. Okaaay, that doesn't really look good. I hope you never change your obnoxious ways, because I love you for that. I missed you when you were in Boracay! When are we drinking again?
