DAY 79-80: PATRON TEQUELA (not a misspell. haha.)

TALI DAY 2
Actually hit the beach in the morning for some raft action (pun intended). I must have injured my self a bunch of times... doing our whole stay on the raft survivor bit. I kept grazing my skin against the wood. But it was so much fun. And.... I was able to take off my top (uuy!) but siyempre... mukha akong suman. Lots of liquification needed. For some reason, I have an hour glass shaped body... as in curves and all - since as far as I can remember. I'm not one of those guys gifted with a V form. Oh man.

Anyway, I'm glad I came with friends because they make me... not conscious at all and be able to do anything I want without feeling ashamed or insecure about my weight. And not friends who all have V shaped bodies. Coz that just makes it harder for me to take off my shirt. haha. Hello Nicky Daez and model Mik who I saw in Tali by the way with their whole clan. First, we were trailing their car on the way to town for some halo-halo and I was like... that guy outside the pickup truck looks familiar. True enough... it was Nicky Daez! And second, by the cliffs when Anna, Aj, and Mark decided to take the plunge. Brave souls. The Daezes were all slender. My family on the other hand is tabain. The only one who's fit is my brother Ipe but he just has a fucked up diet of nilaga everyday. And he's actually fine with it. Weird.

*Nicky takes the plunge.

*Cara, Sants, and Peachykins ready to hit the beach.

*Mark T and Cara B! LIquify! haha.

That's what you call living in the moment and it's all precisely the strength of a theater actor. No day but today. Who cares what other people will think? Judgmental hubbubs and the sort. Basta... kung ayaw mo, chaka mo lang. Haha. Nahawa na ako kay Jo who I had some sabaw bonding moments with while washing the dishes. Yep, I got into the stride of being the dishwasher for Days 2 and 3. Sarap din pala maghugas ng pinggan noh. You don't have to think. Just do. Also had a good cookout with Mark and Jonjon though the smoke kept getting into my eyes. In fairness, patok ang mga liempo and manok namin.

*Jo, Me and AJ! I will miss the gripo and the dishwashing liquid... for sure.

*The bagets gang in Chowking... waiting for our halo-halo!

Also took a roadtrip to the bayan for some halo-halo. That was the most epic fail of our trip... we didn't have dessert. Pa-nees!

TALI DAY 3


High Fashion. Haha. Day 3 was all about high fashion - everything in high fashion. We did a reprise in the beach and had the best lunch. Spent most of the afternoon bumming and then shooting our music video to the tune of Bad Romance. Jo directed. And Robbie joined later on the shoot the video. May mga incidental shots pa siyang nalalaman. Professional! Haha!

Left Tali at around 730pm for Tagaytay where we ate in this Italian Restaurant. Super yummy food! We were originally supposed to have dessert only but... that was an epic fail. Haha. After a few more shots by the garden, we headed for home. Got to Manila at around 12 midnight and hung around for a bit 'til we decided to call it a night. I was a goner... plopped on my bed and maneuvered my way through my sunburn. I am officially nog-nog! And summer has officially begun!

WHAT I ATE TODAY:
Breakfast:
2 pcs. hotdog
Adobo Rice

DAY 78: TACO BITS, CHAKA BITS, TALI BITS

DAY 1 of the Tali Experience

Well technically, we left at night. But Day 1 in Tali was super fun. Started the day by playing tennis at the Polo Courts and for the first time in a years, I played singles. Yup! Singles. That's when you don't have a partner and you have to do so much more running. In fairness to me, I was in the zone and hitting my stride... until Bourg came and I got all conscious. Haha. But after awhile, I warmed up to the idea of being watched and I started returning the shots back to the trainer and scoring some points. Ultimately, I lost but I felt so accomplished that I was able to play a singles game...

EXERCISE:
1 hour and 30 Minutes of Tennis

Score:

6-3
6-3... in favor of the trainer.

Shortly after, Bourg and I chilled at the Cogons before she accompanied me to Rockwell to do some last minute shopping for the beach. I ended up shopping up a storm in Zara and I just wanna say that it felt so damn good to be able to fit in their clothes. Wait for it... I am no officially a size 34 and no longer a size 38. Homaygad. that's 4 inches off my waist. Good job and props to 2000 and Thin.

*Bourg by the hummer at Rockwell.

Afterwards, I met with the RENT family in my house and we all together rode to Tali in mine and Mark's car. Awesome. The first night was debauchery to the fullest. Drunken games and well... a lot of people got drunk. Including me. Haha. But of course... what happens in Tali, stays in Tali.

WHAT I ATE TODAY:
Breakfast:
none

Lunch:
1 Watermelon Shake
1/2 Mango Shake

*Fruit shakes are the perfect arsenal against hot weather

Dinner:
2 slices of the American Idol pizza from Greenwich
Small Order of Chicken Carbonara Pasta
Small Order of Hotshots from KFC
Chicharon

*I am the perfect target market for commercials. I always fall for them. Nag-level up ka na

Alcohol:
6-7 cans of Red Horse (I don't remember)
4 shots of coffee patron
2-3 experimental shots (red horse and The Bar)
The Bar

*Obviously I got drunk

SIGHTS AND SOUNDS:

DAY 77: DON'T BE SO QUICK TO...

JT-Mania! Can't believe I finally got to watch him perform. Incredible! The guy has such energy about him and Timbaland is hella funny! Though honestly, and it was clear in the audience's response, that people were more eager to see JT than him. Thanks to Angel Michelle Pamintuan, I was able to get a VIP ticket to the concert that I didn't originally intend to watch because... i was tamad to get a ticket. Haha. Holy camole! Am I glad Cho is Cho and she just has bravado that way! Haha. I don't even wanna get into how she got the tickets. Pero nakakabilib.

*JT in the buff. I liked that he was dressed down, wearing a camper outfit. Less theatrics. More talent.

Since Cho essentially got the tickets, I treated the gang to some bottles of Moet that we consumed at my house and on the way to concert. Talk about riding to JT in style. I even got to wear my nylon vest which hasn't fit me in years... and now it fits. Too bad it was so hot in the venue that I had to remove it eventually. But a breeze would occasionally kiss our faces and it made the experience a lil' more bearable.

The people around me and Macky though were so fucking corny. They weren't getting into the thick of the whole concert experience. No one was dancing. I mean they'd follow when they're told what to do by Timbo or JT or Jojo... But they weren't thoroughly having fun. Unlike us - haha! We were just dancing up a storm!
Hayyyy... pinoys talaga. Masyadong reserved. Just let loose and let it out there. I had the best time watching with Macky... even if we got separated from everybody else because we didn't wanna leave our spot. There was so much breathing space at tinatamaan kami ng hangin. Thank you Lord!

WHAT I ATE TODAY:
Breakfast:
none

Lunch:
1 Mango Shake
Shoestring Onions from Gram's Diner at the Rockwell Club
1 Bowl of Mongolian Barbecue

Dinner:
Corned Beef Rice
6 pcs. chicken nuggets
1 Glass of Moet

Whiffs of Moet in the car
