Alchemy Bar

Thursday night, Dale arrived at our house. I was surprised, I thought he was coming over on Friday. Turns out, naipon niya raw yung mga overtime leaves niya sa Accenture so hindi raw siya papasok the next day! Haha!

Then last night, Dale invited me to go clubbing. To be precise, he invited me to go to Alchemy... a high class bar along Tiendesitas in Ortigas. I've heard about it before but it's my first time to go there last night. Yeah, it was pretty high class... definitely among the likes of Embassy bar. The admission was a pretty sum of 500 pesos! It was nice that Dale paid for me that night! Gas ko naman at sweldo naman niya eh! Haha!

So we left the house at 11:00pm and got there around 12 midnight. My god, the parking lot was awful. It was just an open field of grass and mud! Yes, MUD! As in putik! Grabe ang dugyot. Thankfully I found a parking spot where it wasn't so muddy. Then together with Dale's friends, Lesan and Nico, we went straight to the club. And guess what, hindi sila nagpapapasok ng naka T-shirt! Badtrip!

It happens that Lesan was also wearing a T-shirt, but he brought a jacket with him. So we formulated a plan wherein Lesan, now wearing his jacket, will go inside the club with Nico first... and then some time later, Nico will come out with Lesan's jacket for me to be able to get inside the club. It worked! Haha.

So there we were inside Alchemy. Lots of beautiful people present. We proceeded on the third floor where there's (unforgiving) house music playing. This is bad, at least for me, since I HATE house music! So I had to bear the sounds and drink my beer instead. After sometime, we went back to the 2nd floor where we found out that the previous Johnny Walker event was over and that the whole floor was dedicated to RNB (much to my relief)! So we danced the night away along with the beautiful people. Lol. Oh by the way, there were some celebrity sightings. On the third floor, we saw Alex Crisano along with some tall black people. I also saw Polo Ravales (a celeb from GMA). On the second floor, we saw John Estrada with her brazilian girl friend... which was funny for me and Dale since earlier during the day, we saw a movie on TV starring John Estrada... Haha!

Around 5am, we went home... exhausted and satisfied.

Oh, the whole night I was trying to contact my buddy Richard who just lived near in Pasig. He told me he was dropping by. Last text I received from him, he was eating raw in Libis. I dunno what happened to him. I hope he's OK! Haha!

Looking back, I can say that I no longer enjoy clubbing as much as I did years before. Dale was always my constant companion in clubbing since I knew him in first year. We would frequent clubs and would never miss sem break parties from UST. We did that almost throughout college. Now that I'm older, I feel that I mellowed down. Dale on the other hand is still the bar hopper that he is, still enjoying to dance the night away. Me, I would rather go to a quiet bar/cafe where I can relax and have a nice chat with a friend. *Yikes, this might be a sign na tumatanda na ako! Whaaaa*
