Me and Manang Lyn went to the construction supply store and gave them the checki to pay for materials our boss would purchase; that's when we went to the city. By the way, I call her Manang, which is a sign of respect in the Philippines because she is older than me. So, after we went to the construction supply, we went to SM because she told me her daughter ask her to want something there. I accompanied her as well because I had nothing else to do after we handed over the check, so I could go around as well, hehe.
We were at SM; Manang Lyn peed to ther restroom, so I went with her. After that, we bought what her daughter's needed. And then she told me that we were going to kainan Baybay Beach, it's famous in our city and near to the sea. She told me that since she was in high school, she has often hung out and drunk with her friends there. She said I should go with her and she'll just drink 1 bottle and we'll go home. I went too so that I could also wander around. I just go with the flow that time. And I had nowhere else to go.
When we arrived at the "kainan" she ordered her usual drink, Red Horse. I asked her why she wanted this; she stated that she wanted to drink this because it is gentle on her throat and it feels good when you drink it cold and does not cause her to become inebriated quickly. actually she wanted tequila but it wasn't available where we went.
She had also recently broken up with her boyfriend, so I felt compelled to join her for a drink. But I can't get drunk because I'll get scolded at home, lol.
We order a pulutan, the pork barbecue (snacks while drinking) French fries and a shake. So, even I'm drinking with her. I'll eat something else to avoid getting too drunk right away haha.
I don't really drink. When I was in high school, I admit. My friends and I drank, and they invited me over, but I could only drink three or four shots and getting flush on my face and feel the pain from my throat running down to my stomach. And that was only a few times before I graduated highschool. I haven't been able to drink since then; however, when I got a work in the office, I started drank with them again.
When we finished the first bottle, she ordered another. I teased her, saying, " I knew you'd drink a lot again." Do not cry, ah. Hahaha, because she cries when she gets too drunk lol. She smile and said, " Okay, one more bottle; it's still early."
By the way, this place is popular for eating and celebrating because they have large and small cottages for rent,as well as a videoke machine.
She wanted to order another bottle after we finished the second one. And because our drinks were so good, we laughed at one neither. Since I can't stop her and she won't follow me either, I told her daughter to go with us because, of course, she could say to her mother stop drinking and take her home as well, and perhaps her mother would rink more if no one stopped her.
For the third bottle, I didn't join in the drinking so she could have her own and avoid having to order again haha. I just waited for her daughter to arrive and we just talked about whatever we could think of, haha.
This is the sea of Roxas city;because the weather is good, many people are also swimming at that time. And the island there that can be seen in the picture, you can also go there and explore. It's just a small town, and about 80 people live there. But I haven't tried going there yet, because I'm afraid of traveling by boat to get there.
After Manang Lyn daughter arrived, I persuaded her to take a picture of me on the beach before leaving. We waited for her mother to finish drinking so we could go home together.
That's all for today.
I also want to express my gratitude to everyone who reads and supports my blogs here at hive. See you again on my next blog, ciao. 👋🏻
