I ended 2017 and started 2018 the way I started life, buck naked. Leading up to that though, I was fully clothed. Well, as fully clothed as one would be in the hot Philippines. And then I left to go celebrate the new year as close to naked as I could socially be. Everyone dressed up and I dresssed small. I was going to enter in this new year loud and proud, rocking the very thing for years I was always so self-conscious of wearing -- short shorts!!!
It was a busy last day of 2017 and it started with homemade pancakes and a cappuccino.
It was Holm's vrs Cyborg on the UFC fight card for the day so I headed over to Handle Bar, a bar out of town that I've never been to before. Our usual UFC-watching bar was closed to the public today as they prepared for tonight's New Year's Eve celebrations, hence the trip out to Handle Bar. It was a biker bar with a lived-in kind of feeling that I actually quite liked.
Dinner out consisted of dinner in -- ordered Mantra.
The plan was to go out to celebrate New Year's Eve but I learned the other day that the Philippines goes big with their New Year's Eve fireworks and, being that I'm in a tall condo, I decided to just stay home and watch it from my window. So that's exactly what I did. I saved myself the price of a ticket I can't afford and instead sat in my bedroom and watched it. I saved money and Balboa didn't have to freak out alone. He's been spooked of fireworks and any kind of loud sudden noise ever since that night in Cabbagetown.
Around 1:30am, I got dressed and left for The Belle & Dragon where I met with friends.
