christmas eve

woke up early so my brother and i can give our parents gifts. they were pretty happy about them (whew). went to shang after lunch and saw angel! went to my grandparents' (mother's side) at around 5. ate with the family at tony roma's for dinner. gift giving at my grandparents'. it was a happy one, since it's my two youngest cousins' first christmas. the floor was flooded with toys. at around 9:30, we went on to church to attend mass with my aunt and my 10 and 11 year-old cousins. it happens to be their third christmas without a father. visited their dad's ashes after mass (they were in the collumbarium of the church. after dropping them off their house, we set off for my grandparents' house (father's side this time) to stay there until around 2. it was really sad there, since it was our first christmas suffering the loss of a loved one.

today

went to grandparents' again for lunch. lot of relatives came. visited my aunts ashes in the afternoon. went to podium afterwards to have dinner and see a movie. this is with my dad's side.

my christmas is a holiday of mixed emotions.

hello's:
everyone (again)- miss you guys :)

in christmas we celebrate birth, but we also remember death. though we grieve over what we have lost, we must also think about what we have gained. christmas is the hope of rebirth, and the hope that He will change what must be changed, and relieve what must be risen again.

i don't think that i'll be able to post this weekend, so...

sheesh...

went to g4 with jam, iris, franz, kepot and carlos. went to timezone, starbucks, watched a movie, and they helped me buy my parents' gifts (thnx a lot, guys!). fun and laughs all the way. too bad we weren't complete. we also saw kat, sars, nana, and cielo shopping.

stupid thing just awhile ago. i was sneaking my mom and dad's presents upstairs, while holding the cds anna returned during the xmas party, when my mom started to come down as i was coming up.

my mom (spotting me): ano yan?
me: *no answer
mom (now directly in front of me): ano yan?
me (waving the cds in front of her): mga cd ko.
and i dashed up the stairs.

so what am i planning to do? stay here for a few more hours, go down afterwards, and talk to her about a totally different topic ("uy! jewel in the palace ba yan? true story yan diba?"), praying that she'll forget about our encounter.

hello's:
everybody-hope you're all having a great vacation!
shoti carlos- thank your parents for me. :)

la la la

went to megamall today. my mom dropped me at powerbooks as usual so i can finsh reading the zahir by paulo coelho, but i wasn't able to. my brother was with his friends and they played computer games, or something. he thinks i must be out of my mind to go to the mall to read. don't care.

i'm at my grandparents' right now. bored to death, which why i'm posting so soon.



"the world's a roller coaster, and i'm not strapped in"
-incubus, wish you were here

ho ho ho...

can't believe that it's christmas vacation already. i feel so free. there are two downsides though: a. i won't be able to see my friends for some time, and b. i still have a filipino project to do, an english composition to finish, and a geometry test to study for. oh well, i guess i can never be completely happy.

christmas party was fun, much better than last year at least. ma'am mara was with us, which was probably one of the reasons why everyone was so cooperative. went to greenhills with my family afterwards. bought a silicon protector for my shuffle. it's loaded with scratches already. frankly, i haven't felt this happy and contented for a very long time.

that's it i guess. can't think of anything more to say.

hello's:
to everyone- thnx for everything! i'll miss you guys.
