Margarita Phobia
I don’t know why but the thought of salt stuck on the side of a margarita glass makes me flinch. As if I tasted something really sour, yeah my face contorts as if I’ve eaten the sourest lime in the world. Although I stop myself from doing so when i’m in public, its really bothering me.
Its not that I don’t know why, I perfectly know the reason why I flinch, its a short story really. When my cousins from the U.S. came to the Philippines about two weeks ago, we went clubbing, and our first destination was greenbelt, which quickly turned into malate, in malate we found a club and what else do you do there but drink?
I’m not a very hard drinker, and I only limit myself to 3 bottles of San mig light, although I went up to 8 and a half earlier this year, I’m still not a hard drinker. So because I’ve heard it so much, and becasue its free (My cousins are treating) I got a margarita, when the glass arrived (I’m flinching right now) It was a pretty little thing, it was lemon or lime or whatever and there ware granules on the side of the rim which I thought was sugar, when I sipped it, it was actually salt, I don’t know why I didn’t like it but I’m just not used to tasting salty with alcohol, maybe because most of the cocktails I drink are sweet.
So becasue I thought I could take it and because it kinda tasted good, I downed the glass, not at once but in sips and in the morning ended up with the biggest hangover of my life, (I didn’t just drink margarita that night y’know) And since then the thought of a margarita and even just salt stuck on the side of a cocktail glass makes me flinch. (Flinching right now)
Now I wrote this in hopes of maybe stopping the flinching, I mean I’ve promised never to drink a margarita not to mention any other cocktail again, and I would like to drink one again (weird huh), if I’d just stop flinching just thinking of it, I’m hoping by writing it down I could get it out of my system. haaay how do I get rid of this and go back to my cocktail drinking self? As if I drink that much
Ang laki ng Problema ko noh?
