Emperaboys
Oh yeah, the rainy season has come alright. Thanks to the 3 hour rage of the latest storm, almost all the people in the metro was stranded for like 4 to 5 hours. Flash floods washed the streets and rendered the city into a lagoon. Not to mention the old trees were uprooted like wild beats and potatoes. In other words, everything was left in a mess.
It was a time of the year when everyone around the vicinty was getting ready for the coming semestrial break, in other words a long vacation. And since the rains had washed the routines from everyone in the area, my neighboring student friends purchased the menu for the evening. A brandy which most locals call "emperaning" which sounded more like the filipino term "praning" as in english "paranoid". I guess the liquor and its effects speaks for itself.
Anyways, the guys pulled out a crampy old souvenir hand crafted guitar for some sounds. We sang songs ranging from the 80’s new wave through the 90’s metal alternatives and present day glamourboy band type of music. Coupled with a few finger food snacks like fish balls, kikiam, and all sort of stuffs you’d find inside a busy refrigerator, everybody enjoyed the sing along session.
After consuming two liters of the said liquor, we washed it off with six liters of extra strong beer. This beer wash didn’t take so long, that everyone wondered if there were anymore left. Consuming the rest of the left overs was not a chore. In no time, the guys looked all messed up , just like them old uprooted trees scattered, blocking the streets all around.
All in all, everyone had a great time and so much to drink that everyone didn’t find it hard to find some sleep in such a hurry in such a cold and eerie dusk.
Otherwise, from the looks of it, everyone slept like a log…
Thanks to the guys who had the generosity to share their leftovers for snacks that night!
To the "emperaning boys!!" RACOON!!!
