smorgasbord

there we are in our favorite hang-out... make a wild guess.

as usual, lots of eyecandy. it's quite a bummer to think though, we are sorrounded by bars. everywhere you look there's bar, bar, bar, bar....

other than the usual bar(s) i hang-out, i only had been to the one in the second floor (forgot it's name) that look like and feels like casbah (don't know if i spelled it right). then there's stilleto that had a grand opening last saturday.

i'm a little uncomfortable with high-end "looking" bars. especially if it's enclosed in aircons. suffocating. well, it was good i went to that grand opening (stilleto's). finally experienced what "open bar" is like. downed copious amounts of sml then gone. it's ten o' clock anyway, open bar-no more. unlike some of my friends who are very sociable, have friends in high places and are so at home mixing it up exquisitely with the rich and famous, i'm quite on the other side. although i'm capable of what they're doing, i certainly am not comfortable. that explain my innocence.

perhaps, one big reason for that is - we were brought up in a different and penniless world. we were invited at parties, yes, out of courtesy, but got an unusual stare from our "rich" neighbors. they probably think we are starving to death and looking at us chow down those dishes we can only dream of, either laugh at or loathe at us. so, being around with them makes me uncomfortable. more so with the social-climbers, rich wannabes, darn pretenders. not to generalize them (i know a few who are real), but majority of them think they're the best person, the cool dude, mr. suave. hey, you're not! people listen to you because you got cash and you wield some powers. other than that, you're senseless and a shmuck!

for some people, it's easy to judge. i don't. i'm pretty grounded. i know where i came from and you certainly can try. so, try.

done with the rich rant and goin' back to bars, i like open bars. i especially like the ones in the beach. the view, the ambiance.... where we can talk of just about anything (i'm pretty diverse)... just chillin'... you know, the works.

that's what i like about discovery channel's maxim, "explore your world." there's still a lot of things to learn, to know, to see and the world's out there... waiting to be discovered. hopefully, everyday, i'll discover more.... and maybe you too...

some smorgasbord thoughts for the day....
