I’ve introduced you guys to Mandy and Ramon. Mandy and Ramon were the kings of the dorm and the dorm jesters at the same time. They were always doing something fun.
I shall always remember them because they were the ones who got me drunk for the first time.

Tanduay Rum. Just looking at it makes me feel sick.
It was the night before christmas vacation. The dorm was nearly empty because many people had left for the holidays.
I was bored so I went to Mandy and Ramon’s Room.
When I got in, I saw that there was quite a group of people and in the middle of it all was a single glass, a big bottle of coca cola and a bottle of tanduay rum. (deftly smuggled in.)
“Hey, Martin!! Come in and have a drink will you?”
Mandy pressed the glass into my hand. I took a tentative sip.
“Woohoo!!! Martin’s drinking!!” The crowd yelled. (I was known for being a NON-alcohol drinker)
“Pass the glass on and sit down!” Mandy said.
I sat in a circle of people and we took turns drinking from the glass, just talking and chatting.

My room with my roommate's bed.
After a while I began to feel woozy so I excused myself and I walked back to my room. I decided to play a little NBA live on my computer.
Whoa. Everything in the game seemed so real! I felt like I was falling into the monitor!
I began to feel very sick and I decided to lie down on my bed. I felt the contents of my stomach sloshing around and I knew that I had to puke.
It was a short distance to the bathroom but I couldn’t make it.
The only thought in my head at that point was…
“Don’t puke on your bed, don’t puke on your bed.”
So I did what I thought was a good idea at the time, I puked on my roommate’s bed.
