Brightside Entry | All the Wine

Last night was one of the most fun nights ever. Some people get a rush from dancing or whatever; I get a rush from laughing. And last night, I laughed so hard that when my friends Ina & Nico headed home, my stomach hurt terribly so that I spent the rest of the night watching shows on my laptop, curled up into fetal position. 

Let me tell you one thing about living in the south: there's not a lot to do on a Friday night. Not that I mind, since I've never really been a club person but I think that anyone living in the Alabang area will tell you that when you live here, going to McDonald's to celebrate your cash out isn't rare. Sure, there are other fancier places to head to but nowhere with free parking and 24 hour service, so Mount McDo still wins. 

Anyway, yeah--Ina, Nico & I headed to McDo for some McFlurry magic and while we were in line, I turned around and lo and behold! T'was my friend Ron who'd just gotten off a bus from Taft. :) This was such a funny coinkidink because I've run into Ron at a lot of other places too before--like the Seattle's Best in Greenbelt and Hollys on a holiday. :)) Anyway, after talking with Ron for a bit, he decided (such a kind heart, this one) to give us the bottle of wine he had left over from his night with our friend Franny. And you know...when someone gives you a bottle of wine, the only thing left to do is go buy another bottle.

 We hung out at my house in the terribly unkempt outside patio thingamajig (our house is being renovated) and sat there for a couple of hours drinking the best wine drink combo that I've ever tasted. For some reason, Nico decided to mix the red wine into the sangria and while initially Ina & I thought he was crazy, we tried it anyway. And wow. Two rights make an even better right, turns out. We moved back inside later and near finished both bottles. Then we hung out in the park and started talking about the most ridiculous things--we When Harry Met Sally-ed it up and talked about whether or not guys and girls could be bestfriends without intent (I won that one, I think although Ina is still looking for an example to debunk my theory that there is no such thing as an opposite gender bestfriend who you don't want to bone). Then we started talking about slightly more serious things like loneliness and stuff like that. And  because it seemed like the right thing to do to anyone who takes their shoes off in the park, I threw Nico's shoes in the bushes. HUZZAH! Ina and I were laughing like crazy. :) After that, Ina and I started obsessing over Awkward and Matty McKibben and decided to call it a night so we could go home and catch the latest episode.

Also, because this blog does cover fashion and these shoes are almost the exact color of Sangria, my friend Ina got this pair at BAYO and they looked incredible! Ins started a Favorite Things blog because she likes  going (window) shopping a lot so yeah, go check that out if you'd like. :)

This song (this'll be linked to my next post, you shall see) was playing in my head all afternoon yesterday and after laughing like there was no tomorrow, I think that this was apt for yesternight. :) I hope ya'll enjoy this song--it's by The National, one of my favorite bands in the whole wide world. For those who like Game of Thrones--it was them that sang The Reynes of Castamere; chills all around, I know. :D Hope everyone's having a great Saturday! Happy weekend!
