I was never a party girl.
I don't think I have what it takes to wear four-inch heels while gyrating my booty against a random hot guy's groin and looking at him seductively to see how much I can turn him on.
No, wait.
I may have done that several times during college. I'm not really sure. Hindi ko maalala. May tama na kasi ako nung mga panahong yon. I am innocenth! Hahaha! Nagmalinis pa talaga!
Sige na nga, I was a party girl. Emphasis on was.
It felt good to know that you can manipulate (tsk, such a strong word) someone to do whatever you want just by making him think that you want to have sex. Kahit na in reality, gusto mo lang naman talaga malibre ng drinks.
It felt good to have that power. But I don't miss it. I've grown up.
Anyway, I better stop myself before my kids read this and think I'm a manipulative bitch.
So my company had a launch party in celebration of the Lunar New Year (hindi naman pala uso ang tikoy dito). I didn't really want to go because I just started working for them and it feels awkward to hang out with people I barely know.
A launch party. Red carpet. Cameras. Celebrities. Eh ano ngayon? I'd rather stay home and get a good night's sleep.
But my boss told us that we had to go to help out. And she also thinks that it's a good idea for me to mingle and get to know everyone. So all thoughts of trying to weasel my way out of it went kaput.
I didn't have anything decent to wear and frankly, I wouldn't spend money on clothes that I'd probably get to wear only for that party and perhaps a funeral (I wore black because I'm boring that way). But I also didn't want to look like someone's maid so I had no choice but to buy a sheer sexy top, booty-hugging pants, sparkly accessories and strappy stilettos.
I also had my hair curled Monday night because my sister (who works in a salon) pulled strings to have my hair done for free. The party was on Wednesday so I had to be extra careful that I don't get my sexy, just-out-of-bed look messed up. If I have it done on Tuesday kasi, may bayad na. Feeling ko tuloy nag flashback ako to the 80's because of the amount of hairspray that was used to make sure my curls held up. Fine-resistant daw kasi ang hair ko. When I was younger, my mom had my hair permed. Pero after a week, I swear, stick straight na ulit sya. So I made like a geisha and slept with my head up.
Hindi ako masyadong nag-abala. Ayoko talagang pumunta. Napilitan lang ako.
Party day comes and I had to stay in the office until six because I had to man the desk. The party starts at seven. Not enough time for me to change into my party-slash-funeral clothes and put on make-up. Kaya ang lola nyo, humarap sa paparazzi na walang make-up. Natural beauty kunyari. Sabi ko na lang sa sarili ko, "It's all about the attitude!"
I shouldn't have worried too much kasi I was there to work, not to party. I don't think anyone was interested in what a plain Jane employee was wearing. Except maybe a crazy guy who finds engaged single moms of two kids very attractive.
I guess I wanted to look nice because a part of me wanted to know if I still have it.
Besides, everyone was too busy ogling the celebrities. A-list daw. The only person I know is Brook Lee, Miss Universe 1997, and that's only because Peter told me who she is. A-list nga. A-list ng mga Asian-American. Nyek. And I thought I would finally be able to make Brad Pitt realize that he should be having babies with me.
Since the night was young and so are we (hindi pa ko lasing nyan ha), my friends decided to raid the bar. Narinig kasi nila ang magic words: OPEN BAR.
And that's when I realized how utterly ignorant I was. When Michael asked me what I wanted to drink, I told him to get me anything. Like, I don't care what you get me, I'll drink it because I'm a party girl.
Pero sa totoo lang, hindi ko naman kasi alam kung ano ang mga tawag sa mga drinks dito. First time ko makapunta ng bar dito eh. Nakakahiya naman kung sabihin ko na gusto ko ng Blowjob or Sex on the Beach. Baka iba ang isipin nila. Baka pumayag sila at mag enjoy pa ko, mahirap na.
Back home, my friends and I only know Cuervo, Absolut, Strong Ice and Light. Malay ko ba kung ano ang Malibu Bay Breeze? So I tasted (and loved) five different drinks. I just can't remember what the other four were called.
I so wanted to drink more but I know that I have to be responsible and not get myself drunk. I get horny kasi when I'm drunk. Heck, I'm horny even when I'm sober. Year of the Goat kasi ako. Capricorn pa. Horny talaga.
So I'm proud of myself for being a mature drinker, a responsible parent and a faithful lover.
I miss my bad girl days. Tagal ko na din hindi naka-gimmick. Sana next time, si Beb naman ang kasama ko. Then I'd show him just how a Capricorn really parties.
I finally succumbed to my curiosity and got my nails done. I now have seductive French-manicured acrylic and crystal nails.
I've always wanted to know what it felt like to have perfectly shaped, strong nails. Nakakatuwa! My nails have always been paper-thin so I couldn't grow them long enough to have them French-tipped.
I'll post how-to pictures next week, when I get them re-done.
I finally got myself a bad ass watch courtesy of my second paycheck. I've always wanted to own a guy's watch.
Di bale Beb, I'll give it to you pag nagsawa na ko. Ganyan kita kamahal. Promise.
