How to have the greatest weekend ever

Watch Ateneo High’s IGKAS with girlfriends on a Friday night. Feel teary-eyed while watching the fireworks. Eat steak while looking in the mirror and then make faces. (Aww, no pictures. Super fail!) And then..

Attend your advocacy org’s outreach program cum Christmas party for street kids and meet the children with the greatest potentials on a Saturday afternoon. After that..

Bond with mates from the above-stated org (Yay, CRAdLe!), play the craziest games, and eat like you’ve never eaten before come Saturday night. But wait, there’s more!

Skip curfew and get the keys to your ‘other’ place because it’s a fuckin’ Saturday. Let go, drink like there’s no tomorrow, and have an epic night with the people you always have the greatest fun with.

Six hours later, wake up with the sun piercing through your eyes and your tummy begging to be filled with something solid. Watch the corniest of the corniest shows and laugh like a hyena. Escape reality and sleep the afternoon away. Wake up with the moon already up and talk about life with your i-have-no-fuckin’-idea-what-i’ll-do-without-you friends. Be random and go out without taking a bath. Buy Gilbey’s Premium and tambay at the building’s pool. Swim with your shirts on under the coldest December sky. Wait for the guards to ask you to leave then leave (1. Drinks are not allowed around the pool. 2. Thou shall not swim with clothes on. I mean, with not swimwear clothes on.) I had to compensate for the lack of pictures of this Sunday with words. LOL And then when the reality of Monday comes knocking..

Spend a morning at NCMH with the very first org, scratch that, family you found when you entered college (I <3 KMS). You may feel so tired and drained but when you start to think about the stuff you just did, you’ll feel so high with gratitude, appreciation, and awe.

And then comes now. Call your not-so-angry mom and explain that your battery died last Sunday. Grab pictures from everyone on Facebook. Decide to study when the clock ticks 6PM. Post a blog about the greatest weekend your life.

PS. I do not own these pictures. Lovely friends, don’t kill me when you see this.
