It’s Christmas day – but for Filipinos, most of the celebrations and parties happen during Christmas Eve. December 25 is when things slow down and people take a rest from all the partying. I got bored at home so I was happy when my friends also wanted to go out for drinks this night!

We didn’t really know where to go, so we ended up at a Japanese Restaurant & Bar called Alice Garden. This is a legit Japanese place because the person who attended to us was Japanese!

They have Drink-All-You-Can menu (飲み放題 – read as nomihoudai) for 500 pesos only, but because of all the rules around it (i.e., only for two hours, you must all order at the same time, etc), we decided to just order a glass each for now.

I didn’t know we were going to drink seriously, so when we finished our first glass of cola highballs (at 195 each), we decided to just order a bottle of whiskey because this would be cheaper in the end! And so – we met again, Johnnie and I.

It was a lot of fun drinking with Hannah and PJ! We talked about PJ’s vlogging career, Hannah’s hope and dreams (haha), my TOTGA, and well, I was just being rowdy as usual. I kind of miss these sit-down drinking sessions where you just talk and drink and bare your souls.

To be honest, I drank more than I could handle and have forgotten the rest of the events of that night, but we did manage to go home safely.

I want to visit Alice Garden again and try the rest of the food on their menu – the hamburg and the cheese sticks we ordered were quite good!
