ANTO COMETA
Jef and I just finished drinking at Kyusinero, an establishment a couple of meters away from Tree House along Matalino Street in Diliman area. It was around 2:30 in the morning when we decided to call it a night (or day - since it’s already morning). We didn’t have any plans of going there but since our favorite drinking spots within the village – Tree House and Taberna Ocho (along Maginhawa Street) were already closed, we were forced to drink there. Actually, we didn’t have any plans of drinking at all since we were already exhausted after doing the paper to be passed to one of our subjects in graduate school that week. However, due to the irresistible craving for alcohol (as always) we were hauled to that place. The place was ok, in fact it was better than we initially thought – food was cheaper compared to Tree House and they close at 4:00 in the morning. It was really a good deal. We stayed there for almost two hours talking crap and disclosing my problems regarding my personal life.
Jef decided to take the route to Kalayaan Avenue on our way home (good ol’ neighbors) when he noticed a new establishment at the right side of the road just across BPI Kalayaan. I looked at it and said – “Yeah, kabubukas lang n’yan two weeks ago, Adarna”. He suddenly exclaimed “A-darna” as if shouting like a local female super hero. I said “teka, dapat ganito, A-ding ang bato… A-darna”. Both of us laughed hard. We made fun of the establishment’s name and even connecting it with an Ilocano (or northern language) word. Obviously, it was a corny remark, but the two of us laughed as if it was really funny. On second thought, it was quite hilarious (on our standards) since we laughed.
