NONG ATONG'S BIRTHDAY PARTY AT IBA PA.

June 8, 2009 10:00 P.M

Last Saturday June 6, 2009 was one of my most enjoyable Saturday in recent years. My morning started with a sumptous breakfast at my rest house in Eden, Bayabas together with my wife Bebs, 2 kids CJ and FF and my Papa Johnny and Mama Nita. After a short rest, I together with my 2 kids and my father put fertilizers in the fruit trees of my little orchard. It was a lot of fun and a good exercise too as my 2 kids took turns in putting the fertilizers while i was digging holes in the soil around the fruit trees. Afterwards I zipped buco juice from among the coconut trees that I planted to quench my thirst. What a way to start my day! After a short rest I took a bath and afterwards I spent the rest of the morning sleeping to recharge my body for a long night of fun.

After lunch, I went back to my office for some paperworks. At 5:00 P.M I went to my house to change clothes. At 5:30 p.m my long night of fun started. My first stop was the homecoming party of my friend Abet Go who just arrived from Ireland bringing with him his girlfriend from Latvia and their love child. Practically all the hot blooded males in our group which includes me (he..he) were all eyes to Abet's girlfriend who looks like a supermodel. Ice-cold beers were served with kalderetang kambing, kilawin, papaet and sinampalukang kambing as pulutan. Afterwards the lechon was served and it was sooo delicious and crunchy! Afterwards the videoke singing started and I sang my favorite song " Pare Ko " by the Eraserheads. After my song I was given a standing ovation ( mga sipsip !). At around 7:30 P.M I bade Abet goodbye but not after receiving my pasalubong ( a perfume from London. Naks!) Next stop was the birthday party of our acknowledged Godfather of PYG Jose " Atong " Ong.

I arrived at Nong Atong's house at around 8:00 P.M. There were a lot of familiar faces specially those members of the PYG which I also belong. In the presidential table was the birthday celebrant together with the City Mayor of Davao Rodrigo R. Duterte, Brgy. Captain of Toril Poblacion Wilmar " BOboy " Al-ag with his lovely wife, and some other Barangay officials of Toril District and other important guests. I choose to sit at the back near the band to met some of my long lost friends, and to sing, if given the opportunity (he.he ). I was already a little bit tipsy but I was overwhelm with joy to see many of my old friends. After a couple of beers and shots of brandy, I then sang to my heart's contentment together with my old buddies Rexel, Mike, and Joe Cavite, accompanied by the piano man with two beautiful singers as back-up ( ang swerte ko!) . The mayor had already left before we did our thing ( Thanks God!). We could have partied all night but the celebrant also needs to rest. We bade goodbye at around 11:30 P.M but the night was still young so I and my friends Joecavs, Mike, Dennis, Juvy, Toto and another whom I forgot the name proceeded to Jansar's Restro Bar.

The bar was packed to the rafters (literally !) when we arrived. We were lucky that some customers in a table near the stage left thus we were able to occupy their table. We were too eager to sing at the stage but there were many customers who submitted their requested song ahead of us. I told my friend Joecavs to sing the requested song if the person requesting would not come to the stage immediately and I will just take care if someone complained. After a while the song " Careless Whisper " which has now become more popular because of the Sex Video Scandal was played and seing that nobody was approaching the stage, I told Joecavs to sing the song. Joecavs went to the stage and sang the song. In the middle of his singing a sexy girl went on stage and danced and gyrated ala Katrina Halili. The whole bar burst into laughter with Joecavs being referred to as Dr. Hayden Kho (he.he ). After waiting for more than an hour finally I was able to sing my favorite song Pare Ko ( what else ?) and everybody seems to like it as they were also singing while I sang. Another girl went on stage and give me a glass full of red horse beer. ( was she pretty and sexy? secret... ). I managed to empty the glass and after I finished the song I was given a standing ovation. ( Imagine, two standing ovation in a night! ). I parted ways with my friends at around 3 p.m. I went to sleep and woke-up at around 11:00 A.M and spend the rest of the day dealing with a bum stomach and headache caused by a bad hang-over.
