Boys Will be Boys

Last night, IC invited us to a dinner in celebration of his allegedly “24th” birthday. It was initially planned as a boy’s dine out but for some reasons, the girls were invited as well. And being my “favorite bodyguard”, I set my time for IC. Kahit tampururot sya because I was not able to greet him on the day of his birthday. Haha!

I didn’t know who from the girls are coming but for one I was certain that Minette will join since I contacted her in the morning. She was my personal driver on going to the meeting place (thank you sis, love you). It turned out that it was only me and Minette who will join the dinner from the girls. Before going to Buslo, we even thought that we’ll get OP since it was an “11 boys vs. 2 girls” dinner. Nevertheless, nandun na kami so might as well enjoy IC’s blowout.

Being the only two girls, the men let us sit near the middle. IC started to order crispy pata, bulalo, sisig, etc., etc. Wow, as Minette said di pang-100 ang order ni IC! Pang 65 lang, dahil di ka na aabutin ng 100 years sa taas ng cholesterol ng mga food that were ordered. Haha! I requested for “chicken bahay guya” for it was my favorite.

When the food came, all was excited to eat. Arms, hands, voices, bowls, plates are moving. I was a bit shocked to see these men eating excitedly and tumatayo pa talaga sila to get the food that they want, di talaga sila nahiya samin ni Minette. Hehe. And to my surprise, my request was being feasted by these men! I suddenly shouted, “IC, kinukuha nila order ko!!!” (Nagsumbong! Hahaha). And IC responded, “Sino? Sino?”, as if he can prevent them. In fairness to the men, they stopped and let me get my share. But after 2-3 seconds, my order was gone! Hahaha! Good thing I was able to spare a small amount for Minette so she can taste it. SR only got the sauce! Whew!

After a few minutes, all plates were cleaned. As in bones na lang (literal, buto!) ang natira. Walang kiyeme, walang nasayang, walang natira. Even the soup, ubos! Finished! That ends the “11 boys vs. 2 girls” dinner.

If it were the other way, the scene for “11 girls vs. 2 boys” dinner will be like this: After 30 minutes, you’ll hear the women saying, “sino pa may gusto ng crispy pata? Dami pa dito.” And, “uy, wag na kayo magtira, sayang yung sisig.” And, “take out na lang natin yung bulalo, di naman halos nagalaw.” And after 10 more minutes, the two men are surrounded by the rest of the food which is their favorite part of the dinner. Haha!

I had fun last night, these men are so honest, so true, di man lang nagkunwari sa harap ng pagkain. Hahaha! Thanks for the fun and the food and the trip mga bro. Boys will always be boys.

We ended the night at DQ. I had my all-time favorite brownie temptation blizzard. Sarap!
