Red Red Wine

I woke up Sunday morning with traces of waterproof mascara still on my eyelashes, my hair unattractively frizzy from going to bed straight after last night's bath, and a bad, BAD hangover. As I got up to get a glass of water, blurry images from the night before, as though captured by an out of focus video camera, kept entering my mind.

My Lolo's big 80th birthday party.

The long function hall filled with blue balloons and a sea of blue-clad family members.

My cousins and I getting together after the party for a night of drinking, laughing and family bonding.

The best sisig and chicharon bulaklak as only Pampanga can produce.

The band playing "Where is the Love?" to the crowded dancefloor.

Boxes and boxes of red wine.

As I sipped the cold water in my sister's kitchen, I silently cursed the seemingly innocent crimson liquid I so happily drank the night before. Later on, I found that the hangover would last until I went to bed that night... I have had shorter hangovers from drinking vodka and tequilla combined. Since my two sisters and my brother-in-law (who were more or less in the same state as I was) showed no signs of getting up in the next hour, I concluded that our 9am badminton game was good as cancelled, which was just as well. I was sure that none of the cousins were already up anyway. I felt my head spin again as I got up from the table to go back to bed.

Crazy night. I think I am going to be sober for a long , LONG time.
