80 Proof

1 I looked at the shot glass I held in my right hand and started to think. 2 When I think about it I have achieved a lot because of my drinking (Again, I would like to state that I am not a drunkard. I just like to drink…occasionally). I have managed to do certain things due to intoxication that I would never have done if I were sober. 3 I have managed to acquire my first girlfriend. I have managed to breeze through a Political Science 14 final exam. I have managed to acquire a 1 in my feature writing class. I have managed to gain the respect (okay, maybe fear) of my friends.

Para pag gipit na ako, magsu-super saiyan ako at ikakame hame wave lahat ng gustong yumurak sa mga pangarap ko, at kaya kong iligtas ang mundo.  Sikat pa ako sa mga chikiting. Sana ako si Darna...
