Hanging out with my drunk boyfriend at 2 'o clock in the morning

If you want to communicate with your boyfriend, listen to him talk without any inhibitions and make him divulge all his secrets, the best way is to get him drunk.

An extremely drunk Lasa met up with me and a couple of my friends who were out on a gimik, after he himself attended a party with his coworkers. Drunk to the point of no return, he regalled my friends and I with stories about how one time he was so drunk yet he was made the designated driver that he ended up smashing their car on the side of a truck. Thus, despite his ability to drive in a relatively safe speed and recognize the meaning of changing colors of the traffic lights, my friends and I still feared for our life and began calling his car the DeathTrap. From the back seat, away from my boyfriend's watchful eyes, my friends feigned choking me while I smiled at them in the hopes that they will forgive me should anything happen to us. My drunk boyfriend, unaware of what his revelations had stirred in us, continued chatting brazenly, unaware of my embarassment and the fact that by offering my friends a ride, I'm the one who's actually going to owe them big time.

Afterwards, as we tried to nurse his drunkenness and my own throbbing headache, I found out a lot of things, which he more likely wouldn't tell me if he was sober and he probaby never even intended me to know. Here is an excerpt of the few minutes of conversation that we had:

L: I'm so drunk, NYTM.
Me: I know.
L: Andami kong kasalanan sayo, NYTM.
Me: Tulad nang?
L: When I didn't reply to your text right away this afternoon, I was actually with my girlfriend.
Me: I kind of assumed that already.
L: But you're different. I like being with you more.
Me: (Smirks sarcastically) Yeah, right.
L: NYTM, why are we doing this, NYTM?
Me: (Laughs)
L: Don't laugh... Do you love me, NYTM?
Me: (Laughs harder)
L: I'm serious. NYTM, mahal mo ba ako?
Me: (Smiles) At sinong nagsabi sayong mahal kita?
L: Alam kong mahal mo ako. Hindi ka naman makikipagkita sa akin kahit alam mong may girlfriend ako kung hindi mo ako mahal.
Me: (Shrugs shoulder) Siguro nga...
L: Let's get married, NYTM. When do you want to get married?
Me: Year 2008. When I'm 28 and have already passed my Board Exams.
L: Okay. I'll wait... I'm so drunk, NYTM. Live in na lang tayo.
Me: (Laughs even harder)
L: Anakan mo na lang ako.
Me: (Laughs out loud)
L: I'm serious.
Me: You already have a daughter.
L: I want to have a son with you, NYTM.
Me: Ask your other girlfriend for a son.
L: Gusto ko sa'yo. I want to see the fruit of our relationship.
Me: But why me?
L: Because I know you'll take very good care of him.
Me: Let's talk about that some other time. I am not yet ready for that.
L: Then, let's get married, NYTM. When do you want to get married, NYTM? Next week? Next month? Next year? Kahit civil wedding lang muna.
Me: I am not yet ready to get marrried... Besides, why should I marry you? I'm very idealistic when it comes to marriage. If I was to get married, it's going to be with someone whom I'm perfectly sure would be completely faithful to me.
L: Okay... If you don't want to marry me, then let's still see each other even when you're already married, okay?
Me: (Laughs out even louder)
L: Don't laugh. Promise me we'll still see each other even when you're already married, okay?
Me: If you can find me.
L: I'll look for you.
Me: Talaga lang, ha?... You're so drunk.
L: I'm so drunk, NYTM.

Funny the things you find out when you're with drunk people. Their loss of inhibition can be an eye opener. Trust me, I do plan to break things off with him once I find myself a good faithful guy. That is if such a guy actually exists and is not just a fictional character based from fairy tales. And I don't plan to get married soon, have his son nor continue seeing him after I or he gets marrried. Despite what you might think, I still have my limitations. I was just completely amused with the things spewing out of his mouth that night.

So the moral of the story is, don't get drunk. If you think you had too much, vomit it out. Don't drive. Find a bed somewhere and just go to sleep.

Drink moderately.
