Top Ways to Ease a Hangover

10.) Eat eggs - Egg yolks contain large amounts of cysteine, which breaks Acetaldehyde down. Acetaldehyde is one of the causes of a hangover. Eggs are also a good choice because they give you high energy and are very easy to prepare in the morning. Plus, everyone has eggs in the fridge.

9.) Painkillers - Although it is true that coffee can help cure a headache, it dehydrates you as well. Instead of ingesting some java, pop a pill instead. BUT do not take them before sleeping, right after drinking. It only adds stressed to your already stressed liver

8.) More alcohol - people always say that if you want to get rid of your hangover, stay drunk. Of course, this increase the chances that you will turn into an alcoholic...but aren't you already?

7.) Eat some crackers - After a night of drinking, you may feel irritable and tired. this is because of low blood sugar levels. Crackers are carbs, and can therefore increase your blood sugar levels. f course, it won;t stop you from vomiting all over the place, but it is definitely easier to consume than pasta.

6.) Greasy Food - Ease your hangover even before you start drinking. Consume tons of food as it helps slow down your body' ability to absorb alcohol. If your body absorbs alcohol at a slower pace, you get drunk more slowly... so you suffer from less of a hangover.

5.) Make Love - according to doctor Joris Vester, "only time can truly get rid of a hangover. If love making makes you happy, then do it. It will make time go by faster." YES DOCTOR YOU ARE USELESS

4.) Go light - While drinking, choose lighter colored drinks than darker colored ones. For example, choose vodka instead of rum. Darker tinted spirits contain higher levels of congeners, which is toxic to humans.

3.) Stay Up - Instead of sleeping after an all-out drinking session, stay up and load up on water and food. This will help you release some amount of alcohol before sleeping, so you would not wake up in the middle of night just to vomit. And, since you have already expelled some alcohol, your hangover would not be as bad.

2.) Wake up early - wake up at a hour that you usually do. Drink some water, pop a painkiller, and make sure to urinate. This helps the alcohol to escape from your system. Then, go back to sleep and wake up feeling better.

1.) Water - stay hydrated. Alcohol dehydrates you, and that is why you are suffering from a hangover. keep hydrated by drinking lots ad lots and lots of water. And NO. Do not reach for sports drinks. water works as well in this case. Save money. grab water.

Top Ten Signs She's Flirting With Young

Since it is Single's Week, we would like to help single men find partners by finding out when a girl is flirting with them. According to ASKMEN.com, here are the top ten signs a girl is flirting with you:

10.) She Smiles : When a woman has an interest in you, her smile can hold your attention from across a crowded room and it is definitely one of the major signs she's flirting

9.) She keeps walking by : If it seems like she continues to walk by with apparently no sense of why she’s there, she’s there for you

8.) She draws attention to her mouth : A woman’s mouth can be extremely seductive, and she’s fully aware of this fact. Some of the effective signs she's flirting will have her applying lip gloss, running her finger across her lip or using the straw in her cocktail instead of just sipping from the glass

7.) She isolates herself : If, after having made eye contact, she strays from her pack, then she’s trying to flirt with you

6.) She mimics your body movements: If she’s mimicking your mannerisms -- the way you hold a drink or the way you’re sitting -- she may very well be interested in gaining your attention and is giving you solid signs she's flirting

5.) She plays with her hair ; While relatively simple and commonplace, in the right hands a woman's hair is a versatile weapon. (bwahahahaha MEDUSA?!?)

4.) She touches you : When she reaches out and lightly touches your forearm or shoulder, hand or wrist, you know you have a live one. You need to reciprocate because there are few clearer signs she can provide (what if she thinks you're doing the same? you keep touching each other the whole night?)

3.) She Makes eye contact : Eye contact is a sign of confidence and trust. She’s stating that she is not interested in games and that her intentions are straightforward. (isn't this the reason why we wanna know if she's flirting? Because we want to play games?)

2.) She enters your personal space : BREAKING AND ENTERING!?!

1.) She approaches you to talk : If she's already talking to you..do you really need signs to know if she's flirting?

Drink of the Day: Apple Pie Martini

Our drink of the week is the Apple Pie Martini. It is refreshing, tastes festive, and smells hella great.

Here's what you need:

1 Shot Goldschlager

3 shots Apple Juice

Shake in a shaker and pour over a martini glass. Remember NOT to strain it before pouring since Goldschlager's novelty is that it contains 24 Karat gold flakes.

Serve it in a martini glass that has been lined with cinnamon sugar. You may also garnish it with a super thin slice of Apple

If you do not know how to make cinnamon sugar, simply mix sugar with cinnamon powder.

Above is a photo of a shot of GOldschlager. It is a type of Cinnamon Schnapps that has 40% alcohol. it is super sweet, super hot in the tummy, and smooth in the throat. It contains 24 Karat gold flakes in every bottle.

It's National Singles Week!

It's National Singles Week this week! So...gather all your single friends, ask them to invite their singles friends, throw a party, and mix it up!

Bonnie Bailey ad the Partyphile

Because there has been a sufficient amount of drama surrounding my Bonnie Bailey blog post I decided to post a link so that the drama would be sent to these people instead. hahahaha

And again..just to clear everything up..I never said anything bad about Bonnie Bailey...and if I did it was just mentioned (in passing) that she lip synced. PLUS, in the comment box, i even defended her saying that if she was indeed lip syncing, it would be pretty understandable as it is hard to sing properly when the crowd is loud and the monitors are't sufficient

Confessions of a Partyphile Anniversary Party Video

Davao for the Weekend

Partying in the same place with the same people can get boring. In fact, for a jaded partyphile, it may suck the life out of the whole party-experience. The one thing partyphiles hate is leading a routinary life. In fact, for some partyphiles, the whole purpose of partying is escaping your boring 9 to 5. However, when one finds that even the thing that used to serve as a safe haven for the bored man (the party scene) has gotten a bit predictable, he seeks change. This is exactly why most partyphiles move from one bar to another and always patronize the newer establishment. But trouble ensues when the actual changes in partylandia do not keep up with one’s lust for change; or at least the rate that these changes happen. So then, what is a partyphile to do? Go on a vacation to another city.

Going on a vacay for the sole purpose of partying is one of the most blissful things in life. Plus, with the cheap air fare that budget-airlines offer, more and more yuppie-partyphiles are joining the bandwagon of city-hopping (instead of bar-hopping). Obviously, this is always a great experience as new party places ensure new experiences and new friends. However, if you are on the receiving end of the vacay, meaning, you are the one who is tasked to tour non-Davaoeno partyphiles around the city, you find yourself in quite a rut. Why? Because surprisingly, the Davao nightlife is not too familiar to the common Davaoeno. The good news is, I know the city’s nightscape like the back of my hand. And here is one of my recommended night-time itineraries for the non-Davaoeno partyphile.

Friday

5:00 PM – Drive up to Jack’s Ridge and have some snacks there. The place offers a wonderful view of the city and some really good food. They have a Filipino resto, a coffee shop, and a swimming pool. Visiting the place at late afternoon will allow you to catch the gorgeous sunset and then, look in awe as the sky turns to black and the city lights start glistening below. Needless to say, the experience is close to magical. Heads Up: If you do not know how to get there, take the hi-way and then look for the cock pit in Matina. When you get there, ask locals how to reach Jack’s Ridge. If you aren’t feeling hungry, simply pay ten bucks at the entrance and enjoy the view.

7:00 PM – Have dinner at Gardena Fresca. This unique restaurant is set in the middle of a garden that features a little lake on one side. They offer grilled Filipino faves, Marlin Fish Steaks, Pinoy Soups, and appetizers. Their food is really good and their prices range from 85 to about 250 pesos. However, the thing that makes this place truly magical is its location. Since it is located inside Coca-Cola Village, it is away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Plus, the exteriors( since the places only offers al fresco dining and lots of foliage) are quirky and soo photo-worthy (especially the banka that was ingeniously fashioned to serve as a chandelier).

Heads Up: From Jack’s Ridge, drive down to the hi-way turn left until you find the Davao City Water District Matina Branch or Flyover Ihaw-ihaw. Across the street, you will find a Jetti Gasoline Station and a sign that directs you to Gardena Fresca. Simply follow the sign. If you are on a tight budget, try their specialty, Adobong Tahong. One order costs 85 pesos and is good enough for two people.

9:00 PM- For the cheapest hard drinks in town, drop by the Brewery. Order your favorite alcoholic beverages and enjoy the uber laid-back atmosphere while exchanging chit-chats. Their products go for 300-500 pesos cheaper than those they sell in malls and convenience stores. Take advantage of this and go crazy with all the hard drinks you can consume.

Heads Up: Don’t worry about not consuming your drink, you may have them keep the unconsumed bottle for you to enjoy the next time you drop by.

11:00 PM- Walk a few steps from the Brewery and party at Hybrid. They charge an entrance fee of a hundred bucks, but they give you two stubs for complimentary drinks. The crowd in Hybrid is a mix of yuppies, ex-pats, college students, and partyphiles. Beer goes for 50 a pop, ad their cocktails are fairly priced (from a hundred to a hundred and fifty pesos), plus their food is really good.

2:00 AM- Since bars are required to close at two in the morning, proceed to McDonalds in Bajada (near Victoria Plaza). This is quite close to Hybrid so it would be easy to walk to this fastfood. It seems like this is where all the partyphiles flock after a long night of boozing. I know this is nothing spectacular, but seeing all the people you’ve previously seen in the club enjoying their fave sundaes and fries is just entertaining.

Saturday

5:00 PM- Head on over to Ponciano Street ad look for Casa de Amigos. It is a few steps across PLDT. Casa de Amigos offers a Happy Hour promo from 5PM to 8PM for only Php 150. Choose from Manila Beer, Colt 45, Tanduay Ice, San Mig Light, and San Miguel Pale Pilsen, and drink all you can before the clock strikes eight. Plus, if you want some pulutan, their Chimichangas and Nachos are to-die-for.

Heads Up: For the tight-budgeted partyphile; side from the Php150 you pay to enjoy drink-all-you-can booze, they charge a ten percent service charge.

9:00 PM- Head on over to Legaspi Street and check out the Legaspi Suites. This is the ideal place for a large group of vacationers since the place is not as packed as most establishments are on a Saturday night. If you want to enjoy more local beer, order their bucket of 8 for only Php 240 at 147 Beer Avenue. However, if you want to enjoy something more exciting, order some imported beer. I suggest you try Desperados which go for Php295 or the good old Stella Artois worth Php 140. Also order some of their Hamonado for pulutan. It is super delish!

If you plan to expand your alcohol vocab, and are tired of beer (because you have just enjoyed drink-all-you-can beer from the previous stop) order some Lychee Margaritas at Kamagoo. A glass of their popular Lychee Margarita goes for 95 bucks, and a pitcher goes for 350. You may want to enjoy one pitcher per person though. Yes, it is THAT good. Kamagoo is in the same compound as 147 Beer Avenue, so if your travel-buddies don’t agree, you may always order from different stores.

Heads Up: The Legaspi Suites closes at midnight. So hurry the boozing up. Oh, and there is also a resto, a patisserie, and a coffeeshop in the compound. Order whatever floats your boat.

12:00 AM- From Legaspi Suites, walk across the road ad head on over to Rizal Promenade, then pick a spot. I suggest you drop by 183. You would be glad to know that thy do not charge a door price and their beers are moderately priced at 50 bucks a pop. A lot of hardcore party-goers still frequent the area but expect a mix of younglings and ex-pats as well. Personally, I love their simple Vodka-Sprite. Give the DJ some beer and ask him to play your fave tracks.

2:00 AM- For a truly Davaoeno experience head over to Bulca Chong. They have severa braches in the city but the one nearest Rizal Promenade may be found along Ilustre Street. Ask around the area to get there. They serve the best hot soup to ward off the buzz you garnered from all your boozing. They sell Nilagang Kalabaw (Carabao. Not Beef) at 80 pesos per bowl. Pair it with a cup of steaming hot rice and some cola then sit back and wait ‘til that buzz has disappeared.

Heads Up: The place is anything but glamorous. It is frequented by tricycle drivers, students, professionals, and most everyone who wants to sip some hot soup at the end of an all-out booze fest. DO NOT expect posh interiors.

3:00 AM- Davaoenos will insist that partying in the city ends at 2:00 AM, and that is true…except for some establishments. Ride a cab from Bulca Chong and head on over to Jade Resot in Matina Aplaya (near SM City Davao). Theya re open 24 hours and you can booze up while singing your heart out in their private videoke rooms or simply enjoy the sunrise by the sea. And yes, they serve alcohol past two; but don’t tell anyone you heard it from me. Ssshhh.

Sunday

5:00 PM- If you want a cheap and unique dining experience before you go out for an all-nighter, check out Q Bar’s Endless Chicken. For only Php 165, enjoy eat-all-you-can fried chicken, rice, gravy, and drink-all-you-can iced tea. Enjoy as much chicken as you want, but leave some space because they also serve up some really good cocktails. The good news is, Q Bar is located in Damosa Gateway, which houses several drinking spots. So right after your Endless Chicken dinner, you can immediately start boozing.

8:00 PM- We all know that there aren’t many party places that open on a Sunday, the good new is, Prime Square does. More popularly known as “Torres”, Prime Square houses several watering holes, a pizza place, a Chinese resto, a Videoke spot, a coffeeshop, and even a spa. I suggest you visit Eduardo’s pizza and order their combo of a twenty inch pizza and a three liter beer tower for only about 550 pesos.

10:00 PM- Head to Rizal Street and look for Sompleace Else in the Habana Compound. For a group of more than six people, it is pretty hard to get a table here during Fridays and Satudays, so Sundays is the best day to visit. For a unique drinking experience, order some BOLS Peppermint for 80 Pesos a glass, some Sheesha Fries for 180 Pesos (this is a sizzling plate filled with golden French fries and topped with a tomato-based meat sauce and a huge helping of cheese). They also have sheeshas that go for 100 per round.

12:00 AM- By the stroke of midnight you may choose to go to Matina Town Square (MTS) and enjoy the drinks at Taboan. They feature live performers every single day of the week, and Sunday is not an exemption. If you are lucky, you may also catch the bazaars there. And if you are REALLY lucky, Aling Fopings would still be open. If you are (lucky), and if it is (open), order some of the best halo-halo in Davao. Don’t be surprised though, as it is a bit pricey (I think an order of six toppings goes for 90 bucks). I tell you, it is soo worth it. The twice-shaved, purified-ice they use in their hal-halo is soo fine it actually feels like ice cream in your mouth.

Ten Party Themes

Since most of the hottest bars and watering holes in the city have closed down and you are probably thinking about throwing hot house parties, here are top ten themes you could choose from:

10.) A pajama party: Serve up some coffee and hot chocolate, but spike them with Kahlua and Bailey's respectively. Because, again, everything is better with alcohol.

9.) Barbecue Party: Nothing beats a good old barbecue party right in the middle of summer. Serve ice codl beer for this party. Simple food. Simple drink.

8.) A Kiddie Themed adult party: Throw a kiddie themed adult party complete with party hats, sexy mascots, and spaghetti. Serve up some colorful jelly shots.

7.) Summer themed party: You can chillout in your backyard. Just serve some mojitos and margaritas and play all the summer songs you can think of.

6.) Ice Cream Party: create Ice cream based desserts and cocktails or simply pour some rum over vanilla ice cream.

5.) Confessions of a Partyphile Party: just buy some booze, turn up the radio and tune in to confessions of a partyphile

4.) Sports Themed Party: Require all your guests to come in sports gear. you can play sports in your background and drink energy drinks spiked with vodka

3.) DVD Parties: Just gather your friends, watch DVDs and munch on some popcorn and beer

2.) Booze Luck: Kind alike pot luck but with more booze

1.) Blackout Party: When all your guests have arrived, ask all of them to chug ten beers or ten shots of vodka. If they have not passed out by the time they consume those, add two more beers or two more shots. The good news is: you dont have to worry about food. The bad news is: you'd have to worry about all the puke/vomit scattered around your home. But what is a party without some vomit, right?

Drink of the Day: Doughnut Margarita

In a blender mix 2 cups crushed ice, 1/2 cups of vodka, 2 cups of fresh milk, 1/4 cups chocolate syrup, and one chocolate donut or five chocolate donut holes (munchkins). Serve this blended drink in a margarita glass

Today is National Doughnut Day!

Today is National Donughnut Day! So gather all your caorie-lovin' friends, buy some doughnuts, make some doughnut cocktails, and have fun, fun, fun!

Where to Buy Original St Dalfour Davao

I know a lot of partyphiles have been looking for St Dalfour Whitening Creams in Davao City. At first, I did not know about the product, but since all my "kikay" friends kept on gushing about it I discovered that it was this imported whitening cream that seems to be a cut above the rest. They say, unlike most whitening creams, St Dalfour brings out your whitest skin tone instead of making you looki like a glutathione-inspired, white-as-plastic, mannequin.

And we all know that key to fabulousity is looking good while looking natural. I do not really intend to have lighter skin but I hear it can minimize my freckles. So obviously, it does not only make your skin look lighter, it also evens out your skin tone. Now the problem seems to be the price, right? WRONG! If you know where to find affordable original St Dalfour in Davao, that should not be a problem.hahaha

Unfortunately, a lot of people have been selling st dalfour whitening cream online at a very high price. The good news is, I found their source! So if you want to find affordable st dalfour Davao, head on over to Belle Et Glamour. It is a store that sells a host of stuff from cosmetics to bags, shoes, and accessories but they are also one of the most popular sellers of st dalfour davao

So how cheap do they sell these babies? A set of st dalfour whitening cream, st dalfour sunblock, and st dalfour soap would cost somewhere under 1,500 pesos. not bad, right? considering that msot online retailers sell st dalfour davao for 1200 excluding the soap and the sunblock

So how do you know if the st dalfour davao that belle et glameur is selling is original? Check the label. ask the owner of the boutique for proof. i dont know how to tell. all i know is that a lot of people buy st dalfour davao in belle et glameur

you can find the boutique at the new building behind banko sentral. i think the compound is called valencia compound.haha. not so sure

Growing Old in Partylandia

Back in college (around the same time I started the Confessions of a Partyphile blog), I decided that I was going to grow up like those middle aged guys who still frequented bars. They still hung out with their usual group of friends, and they still partied the night away. I decided that I was going to be a partyphile until my liver…and legs…and knees, can take it. I often thought that being a partyphile was something that was intrinsic to me; it was something that would never fade. I also believed that I could never grow tired of late night drinking sessions with my buddies and that we would still get together twenty years down the road to live-it-up every Saturnight.

So I was quite shocked last Saturnight when I stepped inside one of the fresher (read: recently opened) dance bars in the city after a three-hour gab fest (yes, a gab fest, not a booze fest) with some college buddies at Kamagoo in Legaspi Suites and found that my initial response to the jam-packed venue was to flee. Somehow, the sight of college students all drinking and merry sent me to retreat. And that was something the old Zhaun, the college-age Zhaun, would not do. In fact, back in college, our basis for our next stop was simply the most crowded place. So the feeling of wanting to avoid a crowded party place was pretty new to me. I shared my sentiments with my buddies and then we all agreed: we, unfortunately, have started to age.

We have ceased to thirst for nights out in crowded places where we can talk (more like scream) over loud music; we have ceased to crave for crazy nights of uber-drunkeness that always end with projectile vomit; we have ceased to look for the craziest nights of our lives. Why? Because well, we have soo many of those types of experiences under our belts, and it just seems tiring.

So we have to come to terms with the fact that we are indeed growing old. We have to come to terms with the fact that a saturnight-out may mean some cocktails with friends and some really good conversation. We have to come to terms with the fact that our customary Sausage McMuffin after a wild Saturdnight out will now be a thing of the past because we no longer stay up that late. And we have to come to terms with the fact that growing up doesn’t mean we are lesser partyphiles.

Because if there is one thing I’ve learned from all these years partying, is that being a partyphile does NOT mean getting drunk or dancing in a bar. True partyphiles have the ability to find joy, whimsy, and fun, in the smallest of things. True partyphiles can have a hot-bangin’ time away from the strobe lights and the dance floor while still feeling like they are in the biggest party ever. Because if you really think about it, the true essence of being a partyphile is taking the “feel” of a party with you wherever you go.

You might spend a quiet time with your friends on a Saturday night in a coffee shop, or maybe have some dinner with your family or long lost work-mates; all while taking the party with you. Partyphiles do not rely on the beats of the dance floor. Instead, they follow the beats of their hearts. They do what they want to do, when they want to do it.

That means that it is alright for a partyphile to be away from the actual party scene. And it is alright to realize that a person’s concept of a hot party changes with age. What I want to say is simple: being a partyphile is a way of life; not the sum of all the places and events you go to. As long as you feel like there is a party within you, then you are a partyphile.

So we are growing up, growing old, and maybe even getting tired of the club scene; that does not mean we do not know how to have fun. So do not fret when you realize that the things you used to enjoy now seem scary and tiresome; because there will always be that one hot event that will allow us to rekindle our old college partyphile selves. The only difference is, we now know when to switch our “wild-child-button” off.

The Top Ten Party Weirdoes

The party scene is filled with many different types of personalities and profiles, and even though I the stereotypes, it must be said that there are some in the party scene. That is why they are called stereotypes…because they actually always exist. DUH!

So since we are celebrating wonderful weirdoes day today, here is a run-down of all the (un)wonderful weirdoes in the party scene:

10.) Camel: These are partyphiles who go to bars for the sole purpose of drinking. They do not care to dress up, they do not even dance. They just stand by their table, or lean against the bar the whole night, gulping down incredible amounts of booze. They have been drinking so long that they know when to stop, so they are pretty safe to party with…IF you are comfortable playing second fiddle to alcohol.

9.) Songbirds: People who dance with the music with real intent of singing along with it. They do not enjoy house music that do not have vocals or aren’t as popular. They prefer House mixes of pop songs that they could sing to. While dancing, they even close their eyes and sing along. This doesn’t make them bad people; it just makes them really irritating.

8.) Solo-Pilot: The loner. He or she goes to a bar to look for new friends. They are extra-friendly and even offer to buy you drinks. Unfortunately, your new found friendship ends quickly. The reason why he or she is always on the prowl for his or her new best friend is because s/he can’t keep a stable friendship.

7.) Networker: A person who goes to parties to make people feel comfortable with them, and then they proceed to sell them stuff. They go to parties to gain connections for their business. These people usually seem fun and fabulous, but they are very deceitful. THEY WILL LEAVE YO FEELING USED.

6.) Dirties: Also known as “Dirty Old Men”, these old guys are exactly like Sharks. The only difference is that they are older, usually heavier, richer, and have more power. Trust me, they do not look cute. If you do not want to look like you are partying with you Papa, leave your friendly neighborhood Dirty at home. LUCKILY THEY ARE EASY TO SPOT. JUST FOLLOW YOUR NOSE AND AVOID PLACES THAT REMINDS YOU OF YOUR CHILDHOOD. IF YOU SMELL SOMEONE WITH AN OLD SCHOOL SCENT LIKE DRAKKAR NOIR, CHAPS, OR SOMETHING AS OLD…YOU ARE PROBABALY IN THE MIDST OF A DIRTY.

5.) Miners: Also known as Gold Diggers, these girls love Dirties because they are the easiest target. They go to a bar to look for the next old man to get money from. They may act innocent, but these girls know how to play the money game.

4.) Newbie: First-timers in the party scene. They move scour the club with wide-eyed excitement, and you can feel it when they enter the bar. They aren’t quite sure what to do, and everything they choose to do seem awkward. If you spot one, beware. There is a huge possibility that this party-newbie will puke all over the bar (being too excited to party, s/he over-drinks).

3.) Shark: Also known as “players”. These are guys who scout the premises to find their next girl friend, fling, or lay. If you are a female, beware of sharks, your relationship might end the next time he has an opportunity to party.

2.) Leech: The guy with the DJ. He has no actual function. He just stands by the DJ and avails of the free drinks the DJ gets; and sometimes, the chicks too.

1.) Ninja: People who disappear when it is time to pay, or when they are too drunk. These people come to a party late, but leave early. When they are too tired, too drunk, or too poor they decide to leave the bar without even waving ‘goodbye’ to their friends.

Drink of the Day: Gorilla Snot

In a large pitcher combine:

1/4 cup Lime Cordial or Island Lime

1 cup Southern Comfort

6 cups of Lemonade (fresh)

Then drip 1 cup of Bailey's cream over the top of the pitcher

DO NOT STIR. and don't bother to garnish it. it looks like vomit, nothing can make it look better

What do you get? A twisted cocktail that kind of resembles a mousse. What happens is, the Bailey's Cream curdles form all the acid from the Lemonade to create a mustard-colored mousse. Yup, this cocktail actually has some structure to it.

Does it taste good? Well, I would like to say it does...but i haven't acquired a taste for it yet. But it kind of tastes like a coke float. If you are into that, you might enjoy this one.

AND THAT, my partyphile friend, is how you celebrate Wonderful Weirdos Day

And refer to the photo below if you wanna know how the cocktail looks like.

September 8 is Wonderful Weirdo Day

It is wonderful weirdos day today! So gather all your weird friends, throw a weird party, and party in a weird way..

How do you do that? I don't really know. I am anything but weird....in the party standard, that is....

Dunhill Frosts

If you cannot find Marlboro Blacks, Dunhill Frosts or Dunhill Frosted are your best bet. haha. IF you enjoy super mentholated cigarettes then dunhill frost is one of the top picks for you. :D hahaha

I dunno. It's a little more expensive than Marlboro Blacks in the Philippines, but Dunhill Frosts are just as good. Not as mentholated, but just as good.

Marlboro Blacks Philippines

A lot of people in the Philippines still get surprised that I actually smoke Marlboro Blacks. Somehow, it still isn't as popular as the other Marlboro types even though it has been out for a year.

And a lot of people have been looking for a Marlboro Black review. so here is mine:

If you like mentholated cigarettes, then this is the one for you. Marlboro Black in the Philippines is one of the COOLEST cigarettes available in the country. If you are a menthol smoker then you most probably have smoked Dunhill Frosts before. I'm sure you found that Dunhill Frosts were super cool, BUT marlboro black philippines are EXTRA XTRA cool. It's actually like smoking with 3 mints in your mouth.

it costs the same as the regualr marlboro variants (40 per pack) and comes in a sleek, black, flip-top case. They are available in Davao in 20s but Ive seen some Marlboro Black Tens in Cebu two weeks ago.

However, if you are not a menthol smoker,do not even consider trying this, it will give you a sore throat.hahaha. enjoy!

Happy Birthday!

You Party Too Much When..

You know you party too much when:

10.) spend thousands of pesos just to go to a hot party outside the city

9.) your Mom goes on a trip abroad and brings your siblings shirts and chocolates; and then hands you a souvenir shot glass.

8.) Daddy dearest starts calling rehabilitation centers for alcoholism. Trust me; Alcoholics Anonymous is not the coolest club to join.

7.) You step inside a bar alone and actually find drinking buddies within five minutes.

6.) You think poles are only used for dancing.

5.) You have a stash of alcohol under your bed and your very own disco ball under your bed for easy, late-night, access

4.) You start measuring distances by the number of beer bottles you would have consumed by the time you got there.

3.) You’ve actually named your kids after alcoholic beverages like Nikka, Brandy, and Kahlua. Just promise me you WILL NOT name your child beefeater or Jagermeister.

2.) you never drink and drive to avoid spilling your drink.

1.) When you wake up on a Sunday morning….and you are still inside a bar.

Drink of the Day: Weng Weng Recipe

Our cocktail recipe today is called the Weng Weng. It is a Filipino cocktail created by a chef named Erwin. His nickname was Weng weng, and thus the name for the cocktail.

We all know how much Filipinos love their booze, and this is proof as to how much. This cocktails is LETHAL! I swear. Anyway, here is how you make it:

In a shaker filled half-way with ice, combine:

• 1 shot of gin
• 1 shot of vodka
• 1 shot of tequila
• 1 shot of light rum
• 1 dash of brandy
• 1 dash of scotch
• 1 dash of grenadine
• 2 shots of orange juice
• 2 shots of pineapple juice

shake until cold and fully combined and then pour in a collins glass. garnish with an orange slice and a cherry...then prepare to get wasted

note: if you do not have brandy or scotch you may skip this step.
