Christmas 2005

I spent the morning of 24th with Teza, then resumed to wrapping gifts come 1pm. I slept around 6pm after wrapping and watching DVDs -- Lo and behold! I missed xmas eve! I woke up at 1230am to find out that there's a gathering going on downstairs while I was sound asleep. Na-coma na naman ako. They were waking me up before 12mn, but I can't open my eyes or move my body. Ayos no? When I finally woke up, they're done eating. Tapos, when I called him up to greet him, he can't talk coz he was with his "in-laws"...Di nakakatuwa ha. Parang minamalas. Here are some pix from the celebration (well, what's left of it):










Pero ok lang...Kasi this year was different. Every year, I greet all my friends, as in all talaga, and I get to realize that there are those that I have not communicated with the entire year, and I only get to text and talk to when Christmas Eve comes. But this year, I only sent messages to my support group, and to those who sent me messages. Sayang sa load eh.Ü

But this is not what made it different...What made it as such is, instead of rekindling old friendships this Christmas, I earned one new friend. Now I can call him friend kasi consistent na ang communication. I'm talking about Bing. He's one of those men that sent me a message in friendster a long time ago. We just came to the point of exchanging messages coz he's still studying (med proper), and you know how busy they can get. I remember giving him my number when he asked for it, but I never heard from him until Christmas Day. Honestly, I have forgotten all about him that I still had to ask who he was.

And so, we "spent" Christmas together. We kept each other company by exchanging messages until we got to know each other better. Nakakatuwa naman sha. Wag lang sana akong maaliw ng todo sa kanya dahil parang hindi tama.Ü We've never seen each other, but we're hoping to. We have 2 things in common: coffee and movies. Good.Ü

Morning of 25th, I woke up and had breakfast with my family. And then I went to RCBC to visit Jan and deliver his gift. There were no restaurants open so we were forced to have lunch at KFC-PS. And then, we grabbed coffee using my Starbucks coupon. He opened his gift in front of me, and it was such a joy seeing that he appreciated it -- at hindi nagreact ng meron na sha non.Ü Buti naman! Dahil ang tagal kong pinag-isipan kung anong bibilhin to the extent na sumakit na ilong ko kakaamoy ng lahat ng pabango sa Rustans.






Afternoon, I went with Mon, Minds and Chloe to Enchanted Kingdom. Imbyerna sa tao! Pero masaya naman. Nakakapagod lang. At nakakatamad pumila. Nag-carousel ako! Haha! There are more kiddie rides I rode since I was the dakilang Ninang who would go around with Chloe wherever she goes. Sarap ng feeling kasi all-smiles sha the entire night.Ü












And so, that was my Christmas weekend 2005. I still felt lonely knowing that there's no lover to spend Christmas with, but at least it was full of activities that made me forget...even for a while.

Merry Christmas.
