Shey’s World

So as much as I am talking about all these places I go to, I am actually pretty new to Manila night life. I recently started going to all these clubs and bars. Right now as a matter of fact I am at an Irish bar called Murphy’s, this one used to be one of the only places I knew where to hang out that was nice and laid back. And it still is, they have free wifi, cold beers, good chicken curry, and an open area where they show soccer, rugby and other matches. What else can you ask for? Well at this moment a lighter actually, can’t believe they sell cigarettes, it’s a bar with a smoking area and no lighters/matches to be had… Oh well!

Last night I was at the opening night for a new club called Club Bureau it’s located on Makati Avenue besides A.Venue. The music I guess like many clubs here is themed, meaning each night they have different DJ’s and different sounds, be it House, Techno, HipHop, etc. Nice big venue smoking allowed which can be a good thing depending whether you smoke or not of course.

Thursday night was salsa night at Mezze in Greenbelt. I’ve never been to any salsa clubs here but I gotta say I was impressed. The music was great and just like in my country guys just came up to ask for a dance without a hidden agenda, heh, well, mostly. After that we went for a drink at M Cafe and I was introduced to some PANAMANIANS woohoo! I was so excited to speak my language again but sad to realize that I have lost my Panamanian accent long ago. The good thing is that speaking your language is like riding a bike, once you get back on it, you realize you never really forgot. So I will make it a point to hang with my new Panamanian friends to talk stories of home.

All in all, it’s been a few interesting weeks. Lots to do and most importantly I am no longer unemployed which sort of puts a break on my social life but I’m actually ok with that. Gotta be careful with the boyz, don’t wanna get your heart stumped on too many times right?
