How crazy it is to call Saturday a Friday Night?
It was short-noticed that Dianne and Ivy will be leaving the country to be a flight attendant in Saudi Arabia
I have a peer group named “The Saturdays”. It is spearheaded by my former highs school classmates Joanna, Calvin and Dianne. The group also consists of Ivy (Cousin of Joanna), and Tj (A close buddy of Calvin). Some occasional members are Joanna’s big brothers Tan and Jim.
We called our group The Saturdays becuse we always spend our Saturdays together. May it be on Whythaus (beer house), The Mansion (club), or even at Joanna’s house. That was before when we (I, Dianne and Ivy) graduated.
Recently, we didn’t have the chance to do our Saturday routines because of schedule conflict. I’m busy with my work, while most are busy with their studies.
PARTY TIME
The meeting time was around 8-9pm. I have work until 5pm that day, that’s why I planned to go home first, refresh myself, and then go to our meeting place which is Whythaus.
Suddenly, I invited Ma’am Chris (our school nurse) for a cup of coffee. She agreed and luckily, she got her salary and gave me a treat. While in the coffee shop, we’d a quality time, we shared stories, opinions, and jokes as well. That was passed 7pm when I decided not to go home and wait for The Saturdays until meeting time.
That was pass 10pm when I arrived at our meeting place. There I saw The Saturdays again. Oh, I miss them a lot.
We began to order our drinks and food. It was Red Horse (Extra Strong Beer) for me and Tj, while Gilbey’s Premium Strength for the ladies. We ordered pork barbecue, which happens to be Joanna’s favorite. After couple of hours, Calvin arrived from school. He drank the remaining beer and then we left the place.
The original plan is that after drinking in Whythaus, we will be heading to Sax (club). But we didn’t saw any trace of people or even cars parked there, so we headed back to the highway without knowing where to go.
We were surprised to see ourselves entering Clark . Wait, are they already going to bring me home? Then all of a sudden, Calvin proposed Subic as our next stop. We are almost at the toll gate when Joanna saw a u-turn slot; she drove back to the highway, and again, we didn’t have a place to go.
Exhausted from work and having a bad stomach condition, I initiated to stop this misadventure, so I told Joanna to just bring me home and declare this party over. Before going home, we stopped by a convenience store so that I can treat them with ice cream. It’s my first time to treat them with the money of own.
After the ice cream treat, they drove me back home. Since I have a Jose Cuervo Premium at home, I decided to give them shots before they leave.

With two shots of tequila each (4 for Calvin?), a grasp full of humor, and two friends leaving the country, we had no choice but to feel the fun while we still have it, especially when we are still complete in the group.
Priceless it is to reunite with old buddies, updating on what changes each of them went through, and sharing their plans for the future. In soon-to-be-more-rare-get-together ocassions like this, indeed, this night deserves to be called a Saturday on a Friday night.
