After the numerous headaches brought by pressure and stress, surely I would want to unwind a bit and release the tension inside a body too young to age. Of course no one would admit that it’s time for him or her to grow old, at least physically. That is why many Filipinos, after a very long and tiring weekdays, kick their butt off the ground and have some party in the air. But why would I spend the rest of the night awake instead of sleeping in my cozy bed and cotton-soft pillows while recovering the energy lost during weekends? Simple, I want to enjoy the only time that I could fully be myself, just plain me without work or worries to think about. Though there are numerous events and places or popular night-spots to relax and unwind, it is still recommended to choose what fits you best just like a clothing you’re most comfortable to wear. Well for people like me who want to sit back and listen to something interesting while enjoying my meal, dinner in front of the television set would be satisfactory. However, that would be such a boring activity that it’ll just make me fall asleep and wake up in the morning and eat the same boring breakfast. That is why comedy bars are a click to my taste. Second, the stand-up comedians are exceptionally good. Although some, I must admit, are not that amusing, most of them such as Philip Lazaro and Allan K. are a hit. Talk about their jokes, mostly it revolves on one and same topic which is sex. However, it is not surprising that the audience get a good laugh out of it. Sex as a major taboo in this society is being cross-examined in a hilarious and sometimes absurd manner which would not be heard in an open discussion. Green as it may seem, people still enjoy it. Rarely could I find a person capable of making a crowd laugh just by standing in the center and telling a piece of his or her mind. |
