The Party Animal

Hindi ako magra-rant. At hindi rin ako magse-sermon. n_n

It will be just my personal, biased, preference for the person i'm going to date (and my 2x a week blog quota).

Dahil sa nalalapit na pagtatapos ng "Zero Dating for One Year Goal" ko, i can't help not to scan dating sites (g4m, downelink, friendster, multiply - jan lang ako may account) of possible guys to date. hahaha. A large number of people in those site however have one characteristic na hindi compatible sa 'kin.

The Party Animal

Nag-search ako sa wikipedia kung saan nagmula ang concept na party animal. pero walang kwenta ang result. Sa thefreedictionary.com sinabi na ang party animal ay isang tao na sobrang hilig magparty, at s/he goes to as many as possible.

Maraming party animal na proud. Makikita mo sa website nila that they "Live to Party" at "Work Hard and Party Harder". i'm not going to say its bad or its wrong. katulad nga ng sinabi ko sa taas, it will be just my personal biased preference.

You see, meron na akong isang daga (named - Mikki) who outlive two of his partners, isang myna bird (named BabyLoves) na lagi nag-che-cheer sa brother ko pag naglalaban kami sa videoke, isang askal na gray puppy (named BluEyes) na obviously kulay asul ang mata, 4 na nameless goldfishes na lumalangoy with a sharkfish and a janitorfish. (and R.I.P pla kay Fluffy and Fliffy, the two bunnies which one was helplessly devoured by a neighbor's dog, and which the other died out of grief).

our house is practically a zoo (not that i count myself as a monkey), and something tells me that adding a party-animal doesn't sound appealing.

Hindi ko gusto ng partner na uubos ng sahod sa isang party (na kahit scraps ng chichiria walang madadala para kay Mikki), napapaligiran ng taong bangag sa coccaine or ecstasy, at uuwi ng lasing, susuka at magkakalat, matutulog maghapon, at iritable pag-gising.

I admit i experience that (except the drug and smokes). I admit it is nice. Addictive.

Pero tulad ng isang pagkain, Partying is the icing on a cake. Matamis. Pero hindi nakakabusog. Mapapasayaw ka, mawawala sa sarili, sa ingay ng musika, but it deafened the silence of your Soul. Maraming kulay, liwanag, at mga mukhang maganda sa paningin, but it blinds you to the beauty of sunrise, or the smiles of the people who truly matters.

O siguro talagang probinxano lang ako at heart. Pero i still hold on to my preference. Ok lang ang gumigimik, pero ayoko sa gimikero. I already have lots of animals.

Who would need a high(er)-maintennance one?

biased as it seems, i agree with you. "party animals" are the shallowest people around.

tsaka hello, krisis kaya. sa bahay namin ang beer less than 20 pesos, sa bar 100+ (daily expenses ko na yon). okay pa kung gusto mong maglasing, sa bahay na lang. at least don, pde kang magsuka at hindi ka kahiyahiya (well except sa kung sino man ang kasama mo sa bahay).

pero unlike you. i don't like pets. hahaha. tao ang inaalagaan ko. hahaha.

kudos to us probinsyanos!

party animal? been there, done that. at the end of it all, na-realize ko na hindi talaga yun yung gusto kong gawin sa buhay. you are right about how it deafens the silence of your soul. you tend to lose it somehow. that's when you really lose your self to the world, too. and that's how your belief becomes superficial.
