ganja, cervesas, espanyoles, amistades - VIVA LA VIDA, VIVA ESPANYA, VIVA MADRE PATRIA!
July 8, 2008
viva espanya, viva los hombres de cedeira, viva cedeira, viva la vida!
in the kitchen señora lucia and señor manolo were there together with the little boy from madrid! adrian!
while me and ben were eating and conversing in english - adrian was very brave to come to us and talk! and he was looking at me with those big round puppy eyes!!!! he talked in spanish and i can get what he was saying! then señora lucia was also curious and went into the kitchen talking with us - adrian was so very very very very very curious! when ben and señora lucia left - it was me and adrian ALONE in the dining table. hahahah he wont leave me! hahahahhaha i ate very slowly and with GOOD COMPANY like adrian - i ate VERY VERY VERY SLOWLY hahahaha - our conversation was interesting as i am 30 years old and he is 7 years old. he was counting numbers in english and i was counting numbers in spanish - he was describing the members of a family in english and i am describing in spanish. kitchen utensils in english and in spanish! fruits in english - to - spanish. hahahahahahahahahaaha i will remember you adrian :) you put a smile on my face that day even if i am so tired and almost tempted to go to bed (which i would have regreted if i did!) - señora lucia was watching us and smiling and always saying "muy bien" hahahaha. i love your mother pablo! hahahaha.
when i was finished - i still didnt took a shower - now - no shower for 3 days :D hahahahaha and adrian looked so sad! his brother daniel was always with the family AND CRYING, so thats left was adrian, and he had no one to play with :((( i work with children in the social center and i know how that feels.
after i put the dishes in the kitchen pablo asked me what do we want to do - i said immediately TO THE INTERNET!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the guys already came from the hut - lori, rubs hannah and alex. apparently alex and hannah called it a day as they were so tired. so all the 4 uf us plus pablo got in the black egg, i was wondering how far the internet cafe was, because it seems like a long journey with the car, but it was just across the river, pablo has a lazy butt that day and dont want to walk! hahahaha
so we went inside the internet cafe, there were only 3 units of computers and you have to put .50 cents every 30 minutes. pablo left us as he went across to his friends at the bar called o mastil. i was amazed at the internet cafe and bar because there where tons of NO SMOKING SIGNS practically in your face, but people couldnt care less! i was smoking the usual if i am in front of the computer and i just threw the cigarette butts on the floor! hahahhaa i ordered i round of drinks for the guys, an amaretto coke for rubs, a beer for lori, a coke for me and a soda for ben.
hahahahahahah when i opened my travbbuddy - there are lots of well wishes from friends :))) of how they missed me :P YEAH RIGHT! hahahaha
we stayed for an hour at the internet cafe then pablo the idiot came barging through the door hahahha and said to me his friends wanted to meet us in a bar at o mastil. he said to me dont be scared of how they look! hahahahahahahahahaha i told him - dont worry - i probably have friends in manila who look like them :D hahaha or much worse! hahahaha
when we were at o mastil.... were still a bit shy - i mean - all these people speak spanish and galician and basically no english! but i was surprised! they tried to talk to us in english! and they were very cool! the kind of friends i would like to have! no effort to be cool, punk, rock, no-care attitude, alternative! its just too good to be true! i dont have my stupid camera with me as it was broken and doesnt have a flash - i will just steal from rubs or lori! hahahahahaha
then someone or one of pablo's friends ordered alcohol drinks for us! amazing!!! it was flowing with free beers at the first round, the bravest of pablo's friends were santi and julio as they approached us and talked! very brave i admit! because i wouldnt do that.
then the night got more interesting as pablo was yanking me outside the bar, he was practically pulling my arms, my legs and my neck! i knew it! I KNEW IT, this is the end of lauro, someone is going to be murdered that night and a body will be floating in the river the next morning and being eaten by fishes. hahahaha
then pablo called anxo, whom ive seen in the first week when we were in cedeira, but was too shy to approach us, or im just scared to approach him because his looks were so snobby. pablo introduced me to anxo, and i found out he was the most softspoken guy in the world! hahaha looks and prejudice sometimes can be deceiving, and i asked the idiot were are we going? then they decided that we three have a "private party" in anxo's house because his parents were not there! hahahahahhaa. i am not going to tell about it, because its private! hahahahaha ^_^ no, we didnt had sex hahahahah hahaha but i would never hear the end of how pablo the idiot will call me "the biggest nose in europa"! hahahahahahaha hahahah hahahahah hahahaha
when we got back the guys were asking for me! ben, rubs and lori! well actually it was a bit rude when i left them, but i never felt so high and mighty in one night! i never drank beer that much, but i did at o mastil! then one by one, pablo's friends came! they were not scared anymore because they were drunk. hahahaha, i got to know a guy named "alex" he was so nice! we talked about the philippines, of how the philippines became a colonie of spain blah blah blah. basically, in the table, it was me, ben and alex and a guy that i dont know his name, who was so drunk that he was talking nonsense and when no one talked to him anymore he talked to himself! hahahaha
good mood, laughter, no language barrier, curiousity and flowing with beer kept the night interesting!
after that - we went to saloon universal! as it was 2 am and weekdays and o mastil is going to close, we went with 2 cars, pablo's and julio's we played billards and kickerboard - apparently pablo the idiot already bragged to his friends of how good i am at billiards and all of them wanted to play with me, but i was drunk and i couldnt see the ball and i lost 3 straight games to alex! hahahahaha then there was this guy, i forgot his name but he came from a different town and went to cedeira because apprently he heard that there are a couple of foreigners staying there and was curious to get to know us, we talked alot that night! my only recollection was that, well he was spanish! hahahaha and he was surprised to know that i came from the philippines, because for the 80808975756765708308304 times nobody believes that i came from the philippines, i told him my mom is half spanish and we were spanish colonie before! ahahah a bit of history! and he wanted to play billiards with me, but i dont have any energy anymore - i was sapped! blah blah blah and got drunk drunk drunk all night! the spaniards definitely know how to party!
then there was THIS HUGE GUY ABOUT 6'5 tall! hahahaha my god! he was a tower and was so drunk and talked to the girls, of course i didnt left the girls - rubs and lori, he was talking shit about he was a lawyer blah blah blah and he has the biggest anaconda in the world. I DIED FROM LAUHGHING SO HARD I ALMOST FELL ON THE FLOOR! hahahahaha
julio was pasing out ganjas for everyone! rubs couldnt believe what was happening in front her! she looked like a small kid being handed some christmas presents! hahahaha
at one point, the friends of pablo ran out of english! hahahahhaa and i became a sort of instant translator if they have questions for rubs and lori - i felt amazing...... i feel so spanish. it just came to me, the words, the dictions. all pablos friends congratulated me for a job well done of how good my spanish way :P hahahahahahhahaha tang ina nyo mga ugok! hahahahahahahahahaha
at about 4-5 am saloon universal was closing - BUT WE STILL WANT TO PARTY!!!!! so anxo invited us - me, pablo, lori, rubs and ben to his house to continue partying! hahahahahah hahahahhaahaha. i got really thirsty since i was only drinking beer and LOTS OF COKE. i asked anxo for water, he kept looking for a glass bt he couldnt find one AT HIS OWN HOUSE hahaha pablo helped searching but there wasnt a glass, so they put the water in a bowl and said drink this, and i drank it like a drunk dog! hahahahahaa
after an hour, lori was dead. hahahahahha we called it a night or a day at 7am in the morning.
it was the best time i had in spain! muchas gracias amigos de pablo y los hombres de cedeira!
kamikaze
amaral
Para ahuyentar la soledad
Para espantar la decepción
Porque estas ansias de vivir
No caben en una canción
Porque no importa el porvenir
Creímos en el Rock & Roll
Por eso estamos aquí
Equivocados o no
Y dime si sientes lo mismo
Y dime si estás conmigo o contra mí
Porque la misma confusión
Que sientes tú la siento yo
Yo me limito a seguir
La ley de mi corazón
Y dime si sientes lo mismo
Y dime si estás conmigo o contra mí
Porque estas ansias de vivir
No caben en una canción
Porque no importa el porvenir
Creímos en el Rock & Roll
Un vuelo kamikaze a la eternidad
La estela de su paso quedará
Y dime si…

saloon universal, the greatest local bar in spain!
the best local bars in the world are not to be found in the big cities of a country. take note, for example - saloon universal.
in the little town of cedeira in northen spain, where the population is only 8000 people - this little town is populated with so many bars specially in the avenida where it is direct at beach (playa magdalena)!!! not just bars but alternative bars with rock, punk and ska music! but my favorite is saloon universal!
my friend pablo the idiot took me and my friends to this bar located near the dumps (hahahaha) and ole! the facade is like an old hollywood tavern - really looks tacky from the outside but dont let that fool you!
inside - there are computers for internet, lots of billiard tables, a dart board, a kickerboard and a harley davidson in the corner!
the beers and alcohol drinks are the cheapest prices i paid in spain! it doenst get over than 2 euros! plus the bar serves - sandwiches, hamburgers and bocadillos.
but it isnt the games, the beers and food that what makes this place great - its the people!
i was introduced to the owner of the bar - suso, and then to other men who lives in cedeira. good thing i speak broken spanish and can communicate with the people well because, i really like it here, because its a no-nonsense bar! you dont have to wear fancy clothes - because people and friends who come here are what they are - alternatives! the men of cedeira who are pablos friends - even paid our beers, our billiard games and all - true spanish hospitality. beers and ganjas are flowing in the night with rock, reggae, punk and ska music in the background. the saloon also held music nights for local spanish alternative bands here to show off local talents.
the little town of cedeira is so remote inside spain, but it is a paradise, not only for its beautiful nature and beaches but also it's long line of bars like saloon universal - where inside - the true spanish saying - la vida loca lives!
i would recommend saloon universal to any people going and have time to roam around spain.

the alternative of alternatives!
"the idiot" (pablo aka www.travbuddy.com/fabricciocartone) took us to one of cedeira's popular nightlife venue called o mastil.
o mastil is very popular among the young men and women of cedeira - the music they play are variations of vintage rock n roll, alternative, ska - from popular bands around the world and spanish bands. mastil is a spanish word for mast - and it perfectly symbols the small coastal village/town of cedeira.
it has an amazing mood inside - as people know each other and foreigners like us are heart warmingly welcomed inside.
i only saw 1 bartender - a woman full with tatoos and i forgot her name ^_^ hehehehe.
prices ARE VERY CHEAP COMPARED TO EUROPEAN STANDARDS and if you get along with the crowd inside - you wont even have to pay to get your drinks as they will offer you unlimited drinks and shots all night!
