The Blackout by nellycious

The Blackout

Here were the events as they progressed:

- Went to a little get together to celebrate two birthdays.
- Five types of drinks available that night, but the hosts insisted we consume the tequila first, to jumpstart the evening. Me and The Missus reluctantly said yes as we were not huge fans of tequila.
- Bottle of Cuervo opened.
- 15 minutes passed. Cuervo down. Everyone was fine.
- First bottle of Patron opened. Party gotten more alive.
- Ate some really nice soft tacos and broiled fish.
- Patron down. Second Patron opened. People were getting louder and laughs came easily.
- Second Patron down. Mixed Vodka iced tea and handed out Tanduay Ice bottles (alcopops) around.
- Breather outside; tequila kicks in.

!!![Pockets of irretrievable memory]!!!

- Sun was up. Woke up in a strange condo in a different city. No idea where we were. Went down to the lobby, car parked nicely in non-handicap zone.

- Found out that the car door was not locked when it was parked. Missus' mobile phone was on the passenger seat. Tacos, chicken and spring rolls in the backseat.

- Keys were missing.
- Can't call the person who drove us there (the person was not drunk, thank goodness) because mobile battery was dead.
- Can't go back up the condo unit because we couldn't remember the floor we came from.
- Can't ask the concierge because we didn't know the last name of the owner of the condo.

- Familiar movie came to mind about the situation. There were neither tigers nor monkeys though.

- Slapped forehead. Short moment of clarity came. Decided to scour the condo units from the ground up. Luckily, got it right, first unit on the 4th floor. Keys were there.

- Jumped up and down uncontrollably. Headache ensued.

- Went home fine after asking random people on the street how to get to the nearest highway.

- Familiar taco taste with tequila and gastric juices persisted in nose, mouth and throat for another day. Pinky swear with The Missus never to get bombed like that ever again.


- Party next weekend woohoo.
