I’ll be sharing a recent “embarrassing” moment for me. Mabs, my college barkada celebrated his birthday last Friday in a greenhills restaurant (secret na lang muna where that is). I only knew about a handful, most of which are my blockmates. I’ve seen some of them La Salle and the others are his friends from work, bora, etc. So as we were drinking and making small talks with his colleagues in Colgate Palmolive, Mabs gave us a big bottle of vodka…I actually like Vodka sprite coz its sweet. Anyways, I mixed my own drink, and I was oh-so-generous with my every pour of vodka. By my third glass (btw, it’s a quite big drinking glass), I got a bit tipsy so I told chito, that’ll be my last. One thing you know I was having another glass and a tequila shot after. My tummy started to feel a bit funny so I decided we should go. But I went to the ladies room first, and I blew…bad! I knew I had to get out so we could go home na kagad and what do you know, as I left the washroom I knocked down a divider and found myself lying down on the floor.
I passed out, and then I heard some mumblings something like let’s help her out..etc. So I got up and they let me sit. I felt soooo bad…then chito got to me and took care of me…as well as about 4 more people, 1 staff was massaging my arm coz it hurts so bad, the guard was fanning me, another one was giving me water, another was helping me puke. Super eksena talaga…soo embarrassing. I was lying for more than an hour in 4 chairs.
The morning after, I had to have my arm checked coz it was swollen..and had to re-tell my humiliating story around 4 times as 2 doctors and 2 nurses asked me separately. I should’ve lied na lang coz my xrays and the prof fee were not covered by my health card. I had to tell my parents that I slipped, mama said we should sue the restaurant or file a complaint, etc. I just said that my sandals were a bit slippery na…and the resto had no fault with the incident.
Chito told me I should stay away from mixed drinks na since I tend to overdrink…I guess it’ll be tequila shots for me then, hahaha. Just kidding. About 2 or 3 bottles of sanmig light will do na the next time.

Pinoy Big Brother (PBB)
Yeah, yeah condemn me for this entry,haha. I’m a self confessed reality TV sucker…but with this one, I’d say I am “forced” to watch this. We currently doing roll-outs for our campaign for our new product and we have creative intrusions in PBB. We got in after they had a one-day ban. We rode on its popularity, hopefully gain enough benefits from this.
I’d have to admit, when I first heard about this show, I got curious. I mean how can people stand watching this seemingly “uninteresting” common people? Well.. since as I said I was “forced” to watch this (yeah, yeah ethel keep telling that to yourself), I’d say it’s not boring at all. You get to make fun of them, how they sometimes talk about trivial things “intellectually,” you should hear their opinions, hahah. This gay guy Uma even broke down when he was prohibited from smoking for a day, and had to do with second hand smoke that his housemates are “willingly” puffing him with.
As clients, we got to tour the Big brother house. There’s this camera ring walkway surrounding the whole house. Everyone was sleeping except for 3 people. Sorry me, sam was sleeping as well (he’s such a cutie or maybe bec sha lang ang may itsura, pakshet). It was so funny going around coz it felt like going around a zoo or watching “lab rats.” Hats off to them, geesh I don’t think I can stand staying in one place for almost 2 months now and being with the same people whom you might not even like. But it’ll be hard for the staff as well since they’d have to monitor everything…I mean watch them even if they’re sleeping. Trivia pala:A staff told us it cost them around P120M for everything (including camera set-ups, interiors,etc) for the whole house.
It was so funny too standing outside the house for yb. We’d see cars passing by, actually slowing down just to take a glimpse of the house or take a picture of it. Some would actually go down and take pics (lots of em) and sometimes insist on going beyond the gate.
I gotta stop blabbing about this…I’m sure you think of me differently now..hahaa! Last na, met Marielle (the uplate version host) she is soo cute...very pretty girl.

Mares bonding
My girls and I went out for dinner and videoke last Friday. We had a blast…and ate a lot at T bar, sponsored by Miray. She got promoted at work, and we’re all proud of her. And ate even more at Music 21 while we sang our hearts out and screamed like there’s no tomorrow.
There was videoke showdown between Alvin (Glad’s boylet) and Rommel (Kim’s fiancée). One sounds like Piolo Pascual and the other, Martin Nievera…and just when competition heats up…kami ang pangpasira!! Don’t get me wrong but we sing like diva’s **wink ** Afterwards we went to Starbucks Magallanes, our “heart to heart talk” tambayan.
We are all very opinionated and we love each other like sisters…and so, when one sister goes maniac in the love life highway…we’re each other’s highway patrol. But we can only do as much. Sorry I can’t get into detail coz we’ve said so much to our troubled friend. Too much things said and done.
We’ve all grown together..from our nene days in grade school up to now that we’re all successful in our chosen careers. We remain to be little girls once in a while…and reminisce the good ‘ol days.
Just to let you guys know my bestest girl friends…here’s how I see them:
Berl, the woman trapped in a cute baby girl’s body. I’m proud of her because she finished law school and will know in a few months time if she’ll be Atty. Santiago. I know she’ll make it, though. A smart, loving, cute girl…and will be married soon to Paolo. They complement each other and I’m really happy for them. Berl has been my confidant…she lets me see the bigger picture…that I’m strong and I can make it, no matter what.
Glad and I have been through a lot of ups and downs with a lot of boylets in between! Haha! Lots of heartaches, tampuhans, etc. She’s a very sweet girl…and loves her family more than anything in the world. A go-getter, almost always gets what she wants coz she knows what she wants. Would never settle for anything less coz she deserves it. A beautiful person inside and out.
Miray is our mommy. She doesn’t seem to tire taking care of everyone…that’s why I think Julia is soo lucky. Her mommy’s there…di sha iiwan like her father. Miray is such a sucker for romance…after what she’s been through I admire her for being strong and for never losing faith in love. What-a-trooper!!
Za has an genuine soul. She speaks her mind and never pretends to be someone she’s not…uber honest that some people may get offended but that’s the way she is. And I love her for that. She laughs her heart out whenever we all hang out. Hats off to this very responsible girl…she knows how to balance love, career, family, God…(not in that particular order)
Charl…the best!!! Lupet!!! Our stand up comedienne who never runs out of clever hirits. Very independent, one thing you know she’s in a land far, far away…without even saying goodbye. She changes her mind as often she changes her underwear. But as she said, it all leads to one goal. Whatever that goal may be. She can definitely light up any occasion and doesn’t mind laughing at herself. Our bunso but the most independent and bravest of all…
Zory on the other hand is our resident manang…hehe, just kidding. NBSB, but when guys get to know her deeper I’m sure guys will drool over her. She’s a very lovable person, she picks a lesson or two from what everybody has been through…so hopefully she won’t commit the same mistakes that some us did. She maintained her weight from highschool, Dang! I wish I can do that!
And of course, moi, Ethel. I’m our gimik / outing organizer. I make sure everyone would come…or else… hehehe! They know that I don’t take NO for an answer. It’s because I want us to have time to bond despite our hectic schedules. One thing you know, someone might be living abroad for good…or have their own families soon and will make it harder for us to hang out, all seven of us. So I take this opportunity that we’re all single and mid-20’s coz afterwards life will be more chaotic and complicated.
