Mangoes mangoes everywhere!
This is over a span of...three days? I don't know.
I went to a disco! That's what they call dance clubs here I guess. Holy crap, I can't dance. Maureen and Princess kept pulling me out of the chair and, eventually, I went and danced with them. The thing is, I have no rhythm. The biggest reason I stay away from the dance floor.
They had a live band there and you could go up and sing with them. This one girl (who was like 4'10 and 17yrs old) went up there and sang Celine Dion's I'm Your Lady. She had this really powerful voice and the entire club got this "HOCRAP" vibe. XD
We also went to this restaurant called The Hobbit House. Get this: it's famous for having small waiters. There were actually 3 or 4 people who had Dwarfism (I think that's the term). Most of the other waiters were actually kids. RIP-OFF!
....XD
The next day, we went night swimming. Swimming at night is...kinda creepy. The water gets pitch black. It became even scarier when the entire island lost power for 5 minutes or so. O_o
I was hoping that they (Mirose, Princess, and Maureen) would swim this time. They wouldn't do it earlier because of the sun. Still wouldn't get in the water. *frown* For a beach vacation, we don't do much on the beach.
We stayed in for the rest of the night and played a card game called Skip-Bo. My dad went and got a whole bunch of alcoholic drinks, pizza, and potato chips. Princess brought back more beer and wine, cigarettes, and roasted chicken.
Yeah...I know. Weird.
We went outside in this little garden part of our hotel and ate. Princess and Maureen wanted me to smoke both packs of cigarettes (Princess would help), help drink the 6 pack of beer, the two bottles of wine, and the bottle of rum.
WUT?!
They (Maureen especially) really want me to get drunk or something. They keep ordering drinks for me or pouring beer in my Coke or tea. I find that kinda weird.
So they would stop yelling at me in Tagalog/broken English, I had two or three glasses of this sparkling red wine and two cigarettes. A compromise, I suppose. The wine actually tasted pretty good. The cigarettes? I've smoked once or twice before and I still don't get what's so great about it.
I found out that Princess tells these long, elaborate lies. She was telling me of what a great artist she was and how she goes out in disguise so people won't attack for autographs. XP
So...today's our last day here. We leave at noon tomorrow. We're going swimming today. No excuses. I'll hurl 'em in if I have too. Then some souvenir shopping, and, because they want to go, probably back to the disco/dance club thing.
But first Skip-bo. If Princess wins, we have to play Strip-bo. XD (Joke joke)
