Beer and peanuts can make you smart???

There we were one boring Monday afternoon. It was a holiday yet we didn't have anything exciting planned at all. We discovered a new hang-out place the 'Jobsite' just along Pasong Tamo Makati. It was just the right place for us not fancy, not crowded, small open space perfect from small chitchats to big arguments while OPM alternative songs playing over the background from eraserheads to bamboo to cueshe. Perfect... with a bucket of SanMig Light Peanuts and buttered chicken.

Ryan, Julie and me the usual suspects were there enjoying the music the booze and my all time favorite peanuts!! It's funny what silly things beer can make you do... But it's even funnier hearing your friends speak in English fluently something that can cause nose bleed when they are sober or better yet talking about something that they will never talk about in a million years. Like first loves, attempted suicide, embarrassing moments or just talking nonsense like this conversation...

Ryan: "akong mama ba...."
Julie: "akong mama jud..."
Adelle: "Ah mas grabe jud akong mama..."

Small chitchats may end in a very big argument and take note, heated discussions are sometimes spoken in English... Seems like the debating club is having their dry run or a meeting of the toastmaster's club international. We are constantly bickering over something but always end up laughing the next day even with a very awful hang-over. Teasing each other's quotable quotes and word for the day like "... You just have to learn how to adjust.." or "We just live around the vicinity..." or "instance.." And for once you can say you are smart enough to even let everything in your mind out for everyone to hear.

We always have a great time wherever and whenever. It really doesn't matter where, what matters is who you're with. Well, we're just looking forward to our next site inspection at the 'jobsite' and forget work even for a night. Just unwind, relax and enjoy a good laugh with friends.
