clash of culture

an ABC friend called me up and some friends to drink at a bar last week. over dinner last night, i asked the following harmless question:

was de not feeling good that night? why did he ask us out for a drink?

i got back a sacarstic response: oh you mean you wont call up your friends to a bar? i would. and the responder gathered more support to her side by asking her fellow ABCs.

second one. was supposed to meet up with another friend yesterday, though the timing was not fixed but "sat evening is fine" as proposed by me. talked to him in the day and blah told him abt my plans. he said, i ll call you back.

not sure if he said "i ll call you back later" but the call never came yesterday. and coincidentally, his phone was shut off. im not turning back.

Beer Garden's concept is pretty much like an european's. the outdoor wooden benches and tables are good for merry making with friends. yesterday was bloody cold, and thinking that i was going on a date with the man who never call back, i was in my heels. damnmit. anyway, it was good beer, good food, lousy company, apart for biyi and jules. it was to the extent that i felt i was wasting my time with those people- women who were looking at us, then whispered furiously to one another. are these what women closing on the big 30 do?
