- I remember meeting friends to hang out. Just hangout.
- Then we had dinner. Just dinner.
- Then we ended up pissed-drunk at some skeezy place where it's amateur hour, just along Manila homebase.
- I remember sitting like a duck at the wet sidewalk pavement trying to come up a lame excuse not to get home, with a cigarette in hand. Jake was beside me, making sure I'm not going to get hit on or pushed onto the road or a puddle. Something.
- I remember being anxious whether I sound drunk, and Jake said no, you just sound whiny.
- I remember drunk-calling people and telling them silly nothings.
- I remember getting picked up, getting caught drunk, getting my tongue scalded with coffee.
- I remember sending messages before falling face flat and passing out. I don't remember why sending them was necessary. I shouldn't have.
- I don't remember Manila getting rained out and destroyed. The world fell apart while I slept.
- I remember getting up in the middle of the night, feeling shit, trying to feel better, I couldn't. Snow Patrol won't calm me down.
- I remember hibernating for days on end. There wasn't anything to do. Civilization stopped. Nobody could go anywhere, and nobody could do anything.
- I remember lying in bed in the dark. I was sweating and trying hard for sleep to come to me. I remember trusting Camera Obscura to lull me to oblivion. It did a few times.
