Arianne's 'Sweet Sixteen' Parteeh

Our resident cheerleader/gymnast/baby pirate celebrated her **th birthday last night. Straight from my college friend's party in Makati and from my work shift as well, I was half dead when I arrived. Ron was nice enough to pick me up and give me a ride to Ianna's place in Balete Drive (yes, THE Balete Drive). I had little energy and voice left.

While the rest of the Happy Geeks were drinking the night away, I was trying my very best to stay awake. Two cups of coffee later (Ron suggested I spike it up with Bailey's), I was on my feet. I originally planned on staying away from alcohol for two weeks but these parties are the best reason to break your promise. So I did.

The first shot of tequila burned. I had to eat to counteract the upcoming tummy pain, which in turn made me wanna sleep more. So I had another shot of tequila that went down smoothly. Hehe.. I know, excuses. I stopped when I had my third shot or I'll pass out. Well I sorta did, for half an hour cummulative. I was dog tired.

On with the shameless singing and dancing that would scare the scariest of white ladies in Balete Drive. The resident bartenders - Jon, Mark and Snakehips - kept the booze running. Some of us played billiards, some had tarot reading sessions, and some did a bunch of wild wild things.

No, I'm not kissing anybody tonight. Even if I want to. Hehehe... And no, I still haven't kissed a girl.

And I didn't have to get drunk to humiliate my self in photos. Just you wait and see. But then again, I don't think I have the most embarassing photos that night. Hmmm..... Can't wait!

My iPod again took centerstage towards the end of the night with acoustic versions of the 90's alternative rock. I was sooo pleased to know that a handful of us were already thinking, processing organisms in the 90's (yeah I know, OLD). Name it, I have it. You want the album or acoustic version? Jovan, Shey, Alec, Ron, Monique seemed to have the most fun singing to the songs. Hmmm... must be the age. And of course, there's my brotha in music, Pirate Pattie. Patton and I did silly song interpretations. Dude, you rock (of course I rock more. hehe...)!!! They played billiards while I kept the noise and the taunts running.

It was also Patton's birthday so we had to give him The Lap Dance of Death, which he successfully evaded. Ianna wasn't so lucky. We piled up on top of her. By the time it was over, she couldn't feel her legs. It's a good thing you heal fast eh, Claire Bear?

Thanks for the great party, Ianna. I hope you liked the Pirate Pen (don't show it to Karen!). Again I hope you won't get in trouble by inviting us. And yeah, you have "friends" hovering about. I saw one. Heehee...

Zuri! My little brother (no Jovan, just because you're his "twin" doesn't mean you'e my little seester, foo!). My i-have-amnesia-when-I'm-drunk buddy. Thanks for the ride home. I really enjoyed our little chats. I hope to see you again soon.

Now Imma patiently wait for the pictures to be uploaded. Man here I go again. XD

Next stop, Alec's birthday/despedida party.
