The Bar Experience....

Just a few days ago, I and a friend of mine went to an acoustic bar to listen to music and relax for a while. It was just 6:00 pm in the evening. We took a table on the left near a group of young people - all female in their 20's enjoying the evening with a bottle of hard liquor.There were 5 of them. They were noisy but I didn't mind, I thought well, this is a bar and they are here to get the most out of it.

An hour passed and suddenly one of the young ladies started to vomit on the floor and slept on the couch for another hour. Her companions had to watch over her. They were all tipsy and noisy. On the other table were a group of young gentlemen around 21-25 years old telling stories and enjoying their drinks. They were more disciplined than the young ladies at the other table. I thought men were supposed to be more wayward than ladies but I got it all wrong. Up to the time we left the bar, the young gentlemen were proper as can be.



I surmised on the conversation of the ladies that they were all from the provinces and are here to study. What a way to waste the money intended for studies. These are hard-earned money of the parents back home. I pity so much the parents of those kids. They have no idea that their daughter is spending their money getting drunk and smoking.

This is the effect of kids so protected by parents suddenly finding themselves exploring the world on their own. No parents' constant checking, no curfew and etc. They feel they are free to do what they want - INDEPENDENCE DAY! is what it is for some young people. They tend to abuse it.

After an hour the drunk young lady woke up and she was crying. I hope the tears were of remorse for acting unlady like in public. I also hope she learned a lesson from that experience. I just hope the tears were because she regret to have done what she did, like I learned mine.

Lesson? Do not drink too much. "Everything taken in Excess is bad"

MY LESSON: Do not go to the bar.... hehehe
