The long ago weekend...(a long weekend)_01

Thursday, March 29 2007..

Why long weekend???? lol, another stupid question....of course another day was added to our regular weekend, an extra day for fun....ok ok, it was the celebration of Prophet Mohammad's birthday. Muslim countries celebrate this day, so, its a holiday!!!!!! woooha!!!!

My weekend start thursday night when a couple of friends from al khobar comes in for some meeting at Sheraton Bahrain and we are invited to join them at their suite. After a 20 minute walk from my friends house in Gudaibiya, we reach the hotel and started to argue on how the hell are we going to enter the hotel. Agian why???? if you will come to Sheraton by walking, you have three choices, if you come early, around mall hours which is from morning to 9 pm, you can come in through the mall on the side of the hotel. Since we reach there at almost 10 pm its close, so we now have the two option, either we walk to the parking lot which was way too far from the mall or walk 2 and 1/2 storey of ramp to the hotels first floor lobby, and we choose the latter. Funny isnt it?? the hotel doesn't have a proper entrance for walk in guest like me and my friend and they are renovating the area to be one of Bahrain's top spot for business and shopping because it adjacent to Bahrain World Trade Center.


Anyways, we reach the hotel and meet the friends from Al Khobar, we had a long chat about this and that. One distinct story was when they started talking about one of their colleage that has been to a coma ( his ok now and back in manila) and one of the guys actually advised one of the visitors to his bed to wispher in his ears that please, run into the light, go to the light.....lol. I find it funny because the doctor told them that he, the coma guy was fighting to stay alive and his frineds are joking to tell him in his coma state to run into the light and fallow it. lol

So after that, we went down and have a nice drink at hotels bar and watch some slezzy show with 4 pinay singers. It wasn't that fun so we decided to move out and transfer to another bar. We planned to go Club F1 but unfortunately they are charging 5 dinar for entrance alone, we back out and try another one, again no luck, the guy we are expecting to play at that place hasn't arrived according to the guard, so again we have to walk for another 15 min, by this time its around 12:30 am, and we reach Enigma at 12:45 am, only to catch the last set of the band playing.

Anyways, in general it was a fun-frustarting-tiring night, fun-the band at Enigma was good, lead singer Mr. Micheal Impenio, was superb and the crowd was great, almost had that huuuuhuuu-ahhhhhahhh-uhuuuuu thing you've been hearing from me, but didn't push through, frustratiing-my goodness we walked almost for two hours in total and the first stop at Club F1, I'm sturving, so if was a tiring night.

The club. Enigma close at 2 am, and I reached home at around 3 am.....and sleep and rest for the next day friday will be a fun day at the beach!!!! part 2 of the long ago weekened.
