Social Files: The DORM

Who says Saturday nights are not fun when you’re at home? Dancer, NotADancer and BatRobinGirl invited me over for dinner and it was a bit of a change for this social whore on a Saturday night.

It all started in the morning when I went and picked up Dancer for the dance rehearsal for my music video. Not knowing where her room was, I started to climb up the stairs only to be stopped by a large lady in a bright orange dress. Go Go gadget fashion police, I have to say the orange dress caught my eyes and she was nice to let me walk through first; there goes my ‘ladies first’ etiquettes. I asked her for the room of Dancer. And this was what she said.

“If you climb up the stairs, you will see a room with a doormat at the entrance. Now, that’s not ’s house. You have to climb up another stairs and on your left, you will see a door with a wreath of roses at the door. Now, that’s not ’s room. That is my room. Opposite that room is her room.”

Ok, my question that had been running inside my head all along was “How hard was it for you to tell me that Dancer’s room was on the second floor opposite the door with the wreath?”. Thank god I liked her orange dress or else I’d be pretty unhappy about having to listen to her elongated story, which could’ve been summarized in one plain sentence.

Dancer’s room was awesome. She’s such a decorator and she’s made common uninteresting items to look pretty interesting. Old longyees on the walls, old antique chair as her living room collectibles and painted walls, her two roomed apartment room was just one fine place to just stay.

GermanChick, CuteDork and SM showed up to dance and I have to say they did a pretty good job. GermanChick had a hangover and Dancer had to leave an hour earlier, which left me with SM and CuteDork as my guinea pigs. I was happy they both enjoyed it.

I caught up with DoubleA and his wife at Coffee Circle later on, when they told me that there would be a horror movie night and a hangout at the Inya Lake with ChinaGirl, my old crush back in the days when I was pretty convinced that I wasn’t into penis. Coffee Circle was interesting since I ended up being all goofy on BooMan with chat, which resulted as him logging off AGAIN, which was a slap in the face. I couldn’t be fucked anymore and I started to enjoy my time with DoubleA and his wife. Then, one old dude and this REALLY FINE looking guy entered the café and sat right opposite our seats. The hottie and I kept exchanging glares and it was pretty fun even though I had no intention to do anything with him. As one of my friends had mentioned earlier, I was eye raping him. Look but don’t touch but the look itself represent a sharp one liner of any sort. I was assured by DoubleA’s wife that he was also checking me out but then DoubleA spoiled the fun by saying the old man was checking me out as well. Damn it. It was fun. They were both from Thai and I had no idea what they were. A rich old man and an escort? Father and son? Gay couple? Who cares.

The night ended up at the DORM. I called it the dorm cos it was two red buildings where Dancer, NotADancer, BatRobinGirl and all of the teachers from YIS live. Four of us started eating NotADancer’s food, followed by a karaoke session.

I thought the karaoke game we played was pretty clever. First, from their last Halloween costumes bundle, the girls pulled out different stuffs and I ended up with a pink wig. So, the deal here was to sing a song that is kinda represented by the items you end up with. Having a pink wig makes me think of Cher and I ended up mimicking Cher’s Believe. Giggle fest at its best, we then put random numbers and sang in turns. The rule was to keep singing what you could no matter how much you knew the song or not. I ended up with “My Boo”, which was not actually the duet of Usher with Miss Alicia.

With mugs of mojitos, the evening spent with the girls was fun and it was a major change to my usual social style. I guess I’m starting to see the fun in ACTUALLY hanging out with friends, as opposed to circling yourself in a crowd full of friends, potential friends, flirts and frenemies.

It was a good Saturday night!
