In the wee small hours...
Ha Ha!! Just kidding
This happened one night twelve years ago.
We were creatures of the night. Vampires, werewolves were we all. We slept all day and were on the prowl at night. (Actually...we still are. note the time...it's 5 Am...)
When school is in session. June to March, we are obliged to wake up and go home on time. There are schedules to be followed,homework to be done, and deadlines to be well...deadlined.
However, summer vacation releases us from out metered schedules and tend to make us kind of... chaotic.
There was the time I learned to make what I perceived to be the easiest snack in the world. Meringue.
I whipped up three egg whites, added some sugar, vanilla, and cream of tartar, dolloped the mixture in spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet, baked for eight minutes and presto. Sugary snacks for all.
There were the midnight ping-pong tournaments where the clackety clack of the ball inevitable caused our neighbors to throw stones at us from outside the gate. Their curses, they reserved for the morning after... their complaints go unheard...especially since we are all dead asleep by then.
Then there's the relatively quiet mahjong marathon where a peso-pot-per-play would end up costing someone at least a hundred pesos in debt.
The particular evening in the picture above, was just one of those random moments of craziness. Lynette, Philsen( who took the picture) and I crashed into Eric's room in the middle of the night. His room had no windows and the lights were turned off. With pillows in hand, we started a massive pillow fight. Seeing nothing and hitting anything. Eric quickly joined in the fray
It was horrible....the poor cabinet...bled out and vomited multicolored clothes everywhere.
Sorry, craziness...5 o'clock remember?

We eventually...
...killed the cabinet.
(See it above as it undergoes its death throes and dies in our arms.)
