Faux Pas

In relation to the recently concluded Ms. Universe 2010, I thought of answering Venus Raj's Final question which goes something like this...

What is one big mistake you've made and what did you do to make it right?

For the past 24 years of my f*cking life, I have committed about a thousand and one mistakes and, like any other Homo sapien, I tend to regret most, if not all of them. One particular error I made was when I dubbed my father as irresponsible and inconsiderate for being too cold and distant. To compensate for such an allegation, I talked to him and asked for unending forgiveness. Since then, we have been open to one another about almost everything.

I do not regret the mistakes I made in the past. These mistakes, big and small, have made me a better person capable of accepting my faults and learning from all of them one day at a time.

Well done, Venus! Amidst the unfortunate incident at the Luneta Park yesterday, you still made our country proud! Fourth isn't that bad, right? Mabuhay ang mga PINOY! Yippee!

Do you remember the first time you drank an alcoholic beverage?

I do. Or something of that sort, I suppose.

I was on my 2nd year in college when my "jock" buddies ushered me into a dimly lit bar east of the campus on a Friday night. Being the neophyte of the pack, I followed their lead and drank anything on the table, mostly beer. Reminisce here. Jokes flew there. Blah. Blah. Blah. The orders went on and on and by the time  I realized that I had enough alcohol, my vomitus was written all over the street and I was relentlessly crying my heart out! Curses!

I have nothing against alcoholic beverages. In fact, these things usually foster and forge lifelong friendships among men of my age and, most likely, produce memorable events that either end up in a fist fight or tons of laughter. Plus, the unique feeling it produces (usually termed as "high") makes things even more exciting. One can never tell what could possibly happen after the next shot of vodka!

Unfortunately, what I seriously loath about this vice is the unacceptable "hangover." The unexplainable body pain and unbearable headache can be tough to newcomers especially with strong distilled beverages such as gin, vodka and tequila. Ron, a co-worker, once posted this status update on his Facebook account stating:

Ron E. Misoles is finally recovering from the worst hangover I've experienced so far in my life that knocked me down the whole day. Damn, I promise myself not to get drunk ever again. Really, from the bottom of my heart I say that!

See what I mean?

Nevertheless, this social leisure will stay as long as the public will drink responsibly and within their personal limits. Learn to stop and say "No" even to your closest drinking buddies. And never ever drink and drive because accidents do happen.

I can't seem to find the perfect words to describe my 2-year experience in Egypt. It has been a roller coaster, actually; good days were so high that I almost puked and bad times were so low I nearly fainted. We all thought we'd never make it out alive that damned thing. But, luckily, we managed to hold each others hands and state "I survived DAFH!" out in the open. Yipeee!

The carnival is a vast jungle where new rides are awaiting the adventurous. We need to move on to the next ride, right?

Thank you very much to all the strangers I've known and treated as my friends. It has been a blast knowing you guys! Kudos for making it this far!
