Jam Beer Eh!
A year had passed and Dodoy had his annual celebration coming. He SMS’ed me about his bash a week before and he was luck I had a slot for him given my hectic sleep and lounge schedule.
It was an afternoon of pouring rain, and it was like a Friday so everyone was all in a hurry to get home and to dine out. I had to chill out at the Galleria smoking at the lounge and watching some babes pass by. It was like the “Three Day Sale” at the mall that’s why. Everyone was like so eager to spend all of their money on the overpriced, good as spoiled, imperishable, old stock items of the mall’s boutiques. All this happening as I waited for Dodoy’s SMS.
I had informed Jeff, Sarge and some other guys about Dodoy’s invitation. Another night of free beer and grub…”Eat and Drink All You Can” style. Just like any celebration for that matter. An ultimate “Freeload”!
Unfortunately, most of the guys called in sick. Or better yet, they were all scared of getting themselves soaked in itchy rain as the rains grew itchy over the years, probably due to the pollution and everything. Or is it just me?
Anyways, I had the event and the celebrator to myself. I had the chance to tag along my trusty Cebu crafted steel string acoustic with me. Ready to jam the night through with my jam partner at Trade Center Building. We were both "Alternative" in nature, if you know what I mean.
As I arrived, Dodoy’s cousin Caloy greeted me like a star. He was half drunk as soon as I planted my feet. “Tangina Idol!” in an exhasperated tone addressed me. “Ehto and hinahanap ko matagal na! Bat ngayon ka lang dumating?” he exclained with a smile. "Well uhhh…” and smiled back. Dodoy then greeted me with almost the same line and offered me a seat and his feast.
Almost everyone was drunk since Dodoy had almost an unlimited supply of light beer readied that night as we sang old tunes back in our college days. Singing songs from Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Metallica, Incubus, 311, Guns and Roses, and the like. Some mid 90’s kind of tunes.
All in all, everyone had a great time. I wish I had the rest of the crew with me. Anyways until the next time around.
To Dodoy and the Crew…RACOON!!!
