Sunshine and smiles, Hivers! I’m back again for another new blog for this week and I'm so excited to share my latest blog post with you all! For today's blog, I'm going to share to you all our experience at a bar after practice for Angara 2024. Let’s get started!
We had this celebration the Angara Unity Cup 2024 at our University, which is like a intramurals where all campuses in my University are invited to participate this big event. All the PE students were set to perform a dance for the opening of the Angara Cup 2024. As you can see on the picture, you can see us finishing our rehearsals for the next day’s event. We spent six hours dancing under the sun, though not continuously. We practiced at the Carmen Oval Ground, which is quite spacious and very wide that can accommodate many people.
After our rehearsal, we choose to have a dinner "Tuslo Buwa." This dish is very popular here in Cebu, this dish has pig brain, a starch for thickening, and various spices. In the picture, one of my friends is cooking the pig’s brain right in front of us. This meal is also budget-friendly and can serve 3-5 people per serving. The term "Tuslo" means from dipping your hanging rice into "Buwa," which refers to pig’s brain.
Here’s Joshua, who was cooking the Tuslo Buwa and making jokes as he did always when we hang out. He kept dancing and cracking jokes, while the rest of us just couldn’t stop laughing at his actions.
After eating Tuslo Buwa, we decided to go a nearby local bar here in our area that opened at 8 PM.
We take some photos while placing our drink orders at the bar. We chose gin with ice and some crackers. As you can see on the picture, you can see us enjoying ourselves with the gin, while some were laughing and chatting, and others were busy taking pictures or dancing.
Since the bar had just opened, there weren’t many customers yet since it was still early. As you can see on the picture, you can see the bar is quite spacious at this moment, but we expect more people to arrive shortly before midnight or an hour before.
The combination of alcohol and the bar’s lighting left us feeling quite dizzy. The lively music make us all dance and sing together with other strangers inside of the bar. We started ordering more gin since we were still in the mood to drink. I was already tipsy at that point because I had low tolerance for alcohol.
I decided to stop drinking because I didn’t want to go home drunk. However, my friends kept offering me gin, and I couldn’t refuse! That’s how I ended up drinking again, and it continue until I was drunk and I cannot longer discipline myself.
At this moment , we are between tipsy and fully drunk, unaware of our actions. We danced and drank and doesn't care for the people around us since we didn’t know them, and we were not thinking clearly as that moment. I think we deserved this kind of booze after our exhausting practices for Angara Cup 2024. The bar had a live band that gives the hype inside of the bar. We sang and swayed to the rhythm throughout the time, makes us more very drunk and loss our senses.
This is our final picture after we decided it was time to leave the bar because some of us were extremely drunk and needed to regain our senses.
After exiting the bar, we went to the oval to unwind since some of us were very drunk and we don't want to head home that our friends is in that condition. One of our friend buys candies and water to help us sober up since some of us cannot communicate properly due to alcohol. In the GIF, you can see us lying on the ground while others sat.
Fortunately, we managed to regain our senses back because we didn’t want to go home when we were in a state of being very drunk.
When all of us back our right mind, we decided to rent bikes near the oval after reading a post on a blue app about bike rentals available there. The cost was 20 pesos per hour. As you can see on the GIF, we rented and rode the bikes. We pedaled around the oval, which helped us feel more conscious since we were sweating and laughing. We didn’t use the full hour because the bike seats were uncomfortable. After riding, we decided it was time to go home and call it a day.
And that's the end of my blog, Hivers! This day spent with my friends was a remarkable experience. This was also my first time I had gotten drunk with them and the first time biking together at night. My time with them was truly amazing! I hope to have them in my life forever! Thank you for reading my blog, and see you in my next post! Ciao!
