The wedding of my beloved Kuya Vlad and Ate Ey last January 24 made me realize that it is crunch time. I have a list of all the places I want to see and things to do and I feel that time is not on my side. My cousin Epol suggested that I relax and spend the 1st half of the year chilling and not making any plans whatsoever about next year’s “event”. That made me relax, a little.
This March, I will experience Iloilo and Guimaras. In July, I will experience Boracay. Before the year ends, I will see Zambales and Palawan as well. They are in my itenerary. So townfolks, WATCH OUT. Haha.
After 3 years, I realized I write again about being wasted. Er…I mean, wanting to be wasted. I haven’t made much progress in the alcoholism department in the last 3yrs. True, I had the opportunity to try cocktails, beer and other concoction in different situations and venues but my blasted heart just won’t keep still after my half bottle or small glass. And according to http://allergies.about.com/od/faq/f/alcoholallergy.htm, I might have an enzyme-deficiency or what is commonly known as Asian Flush: “Aldehyde dehydrogenase is an enzyme that helps break down alcohol after it is consumed. A deficiency of this enzyme can result in flushing reactions after consuming alcohol. This may include nausea and rapid heart rate. Such reactions can be confused for an allergic reaction, but they are actually more often due to this enzyme deficiency, which is most common in people of Asian descent.”
And you know what the workaround is? Not to drink at all! But I’m making plans now. I want to experience wasted. I will be somewhere near a hospital, I promise. Haha.
I will see the Philippines. I will be wasted. I will. You’ll see.
