christmas 2012

before the clock struck 12 midnight, which was the exact cue for Christmas eve, i was at granny's place with the family, going through the normal noche buena preparation.

at 7:30pm we all slouched in the living room to relax a bit after all the cooking and baking we've all done. papa, not being able to attend their company's chrsitmas party (due to his boss unnecessary christmas cruelty) was a bit gloomy, but mom and tita joked around him teasing how he wasnt thankful to join us again for chrsitmas after lotsa years made the sitch lighter. thank goodness for the nonstiffy atmosphere.

by 8 something we dressed up for church and got ourselves in the shrine all good lookin by 9:00pm.

at 10:15ish, we got home and while in the commotion of tidying ourselves for picture taking, dad called and asked about the Christmas gift i told him in facebook. still going to make a proposal about it so im not sure whether he'd approve but lets just cross our fingers.

so the call ended and we took pictures, and we changed clothes and i did the cooking of the chicken by 11:15-ish.

also, mama did the christmas prayer for almost 15 minutes and it was 5 minutes before 12 when she finished it. it was exactly when i was done with the cooking so we started to dig in. because my mom and aunt were waiting for the christmas countdown in the radio, which the radio station didnt execute, we peacefully paused in eating our food when we saw the clock hit 12, and greeted each other and gave each other a kiss and ate again. tafter, i greeted a=the people in twitter while the family chatted over the food. they also had a video convo with some of our relatives and we finally had our slumber at 3am-ish.

though our christmas was nothing fancy, i was glad i was still able to spend it with my family..

24th of december

so obviously, the world did not end 4 days ago, December 21, 2012, which the Mayan people had predicted, cause somehow im still typing this update. but then again, there could also be certain possibilities that i may not be able to make this post right now cause i maybe overly busy or that something terrible had happened other than the 'end of the world' theory but hey, to the good grace that  led me and had me writing this, let's thank God for it... for placing me back safely in my lil hometown for the holidays after the stressful almost-no-sleep pre-mid week and all the pre-christmas parties back in the big city!

everybody's already busy in my granny's house, preparing food for the noche buena but im sneaking to use my laptop and blab about my emotions. though im quite positive that i may not be able to get the thing i wished the most this Christmas eve, which makes me a bit sad and gloomy, im still thankful im here with my family, and to be able to eat proper food later tonight. btw, my mom's currently shouting at me, letting me hop to the other house to cook spaghetti. urgh, i know. well, its good to be back home!

superb

okay so at first, i never thought that this day would be as superb as it just proved to be. i never thought our school department could put up such a fun christmas party.

me and my blockmates were early in the concert venue which also happens to be a carnival of some sort. the day wasnt really that sunny; there were drizzles in between minutes and hours and at first it was okay. we were there since about three in the afternoon and we took some pictures on the bay side and registered ourselves for the party. later on we got bored and decided to roam around the big area. it was around five when some of our blockmates asked the people who operate the rides whether we could enjoy the caterpillar, and so we did! but during the ride, the sky decided to eradicate the small droplets and replaced it with legit raindrops that made us look like wet chickens.  then next, we went to experience the thrill of the lantern ferris wheel. though still with little people around, the show decided to start with some production numbers from our department's talent circle and later on, the battle of the bands started. some of our friends were part of the first presenter, both vocals and the bassist, the other two were just acquaintances. the one who caught the people's attention was the drummer. and he looked a bit familiar to me, but then i just shrugged and rocked with my blockmates. when the grey sky turned a bit bluish, aden, earl and i went to a booth to buy some food. we saw a common friend there. and my crush. both are ex-blockmates, we said hi to them and talked a little and i was just there, not making everything obvious.

then suddenly, the rain poured. really hard. i was the only one in my umbrella so the common friend leaped to join me. crush decided to hangout in the small shade after some time but then the droplets went gaga so he placed himself under the umbrella and held it. oh gosh this was when the awkwardness i felt started ... we were so close and i couldnt just look up because he was right there so i just faced away while leaning to the back of our common friend because the expression on my face is already asdfghjkl and my feels is at its maximum. sigh. but there were moments when i also gazed upon his direction like everything that was happening didnt affect me i mean i had to act normal. until the rain eventually realized i had enough so it slowed down and we had our meal after the long wait but i wasnt able to eat well because of my feels and how icky it was so i gave it to earl and bought some donuts with leo.

then, we proceeded with the rides again. i dunno what the first one was called but it got me real dizzy for trying it two times. then next we headed for the open ferris wheel that i never really wanna try but since i was in an ecstatic mood, i surprisingly did. i screamed so hard my throat hurt when i got home that night.

next, we felt like the people are gathering around the stage area so we returned. we were standing near the group of "cool guys" which included my crush, the drummer dude from battle of the bands earlier, and my for my blockmates. we got so hyped to meet drummerboy in the crowd and i realized i was right with the notion that ive seen him before since i sat in the same table as him when i attended a former blockmate's 18th birthday but that time i didnt pay attention to him because there was this another cute guy. anyway, my girl blockmates took a pic with him and ofcourse so did i. but as always, i felt a bit awkward when his hand found its way on my shoulder i mean gaaah ive never been like this with any guy except for bruce and earl and some few who are just friends with me and its just so asdfghjkl. i shied away a little but tried to keep my composure anyway.

another crazy idea went up with girl blockmates so they decided to take a pic with my crush this time and it was crazier because they were teasing me and it was so embarrassing and all i was thinkin was how they're making it obvious i mean its okay that everybody would know how much my eyes are fond of him, but not him. so it was really awkward cause they were all "yeeeeeee" and i cant help but you know, act as if i really have a crush on him. which is kinda true. so yea, we took the picture and my lifeline stayed flat for about 5 seconds. and when gloc-9 was performing, i was standing near his back and i just kept on staring because its  weird and its what i do best. i enjoyed rawkin out with the band even when im not all familiar with the songs they sang. they're guitarist looks cute btw.

the show ended about nine. we stayed a bit and later on, lonz, andrea, and me took the school bus for our ride home.

even when my body was aching and my sandals were covered with wet grass and mud, i sat on the bus seat with a smiley face.

rode the ferris wheel twice with earl!
yep, our friendship is so sweet my nonexistent boyfie is jealous

with drummer boy

uhmm yea

okay

its been awhile eh, and ive got nothing really interesting to tell you right now bloggy. everything is just okay. second sem seems okay.  im still in the same block as i was before so i guess that's okay. and well life in my new dorm is just okay. okay is not good enough, but bearable.

oh, my tradition of having a new crush to secretly fan girl every semester has been cut off as of now
since i am with the same people. and the one i consider as a supplement for my sight in the past few months isnt in the same class as mine anymore. and ive got no one to blame except for my carelessness. its good that he actually said hi to me again when i thought he'd never say a word during the first week after sembreak. it happened before accounting class, when all of us are already in our seats and he entered the room and chatted with his friends and i tried to avoid to look on his direction so i just rested my face into the table and when i looked up, he was facing my direction, sitting on chair, just a table away from mine. he called my name and said something about how he didnt notice me at first because of my new hair, which is now a bit shorter, and boringly straight. i got really awkward that my eyes popped out and my jaw almost fell to the ground but i immediately gathered myself and just smiled and went back to my sleepy position. but i was so guilty that i took my phone and texted him 'sorry' again and afterwards, when i spied him looking at his mobile, he looked at me and smiled that gorgeous smile and walked into my seat and told me he's "okay" with his classes right now since he could now join his bestfriends and smiled again and.. that's how it went. so we're okay.

right now im typing this post at the upper bunk of me and my room mates' doubled deck. im silently typing this thingy and she's trying to put on some moisturiser on her face and we dont actually talk to each other unless one of us would stroll out or that how she'd always remind me not to lock the door when she goes out at night and returns about three hours later. ive got no new friends here. well maybe some acquaintances of guy dormmates who just talked to me because i think they were amused of how i fan girl towards Gino, a lead character of the show i watch everynight which was portrayed by Daniel Padilla, whom, i must admit, has been the ones, whove been giving me butterflies in my stomach these past months. so yea, they tease me and i know 3-4 names of those guys but nothing more.

oh yea, and i watched Breaking Dawn part 2 with my former roommate, Andrea. the movie really surprised me a lot and the moment we went out of the movie theatre, my feeels about how happy i was that Twilight Saga was my first ever novel experience cannot be contained. Also, i watched 4/7 inlove with Jezrah, though i was kinda having fever due to my tonsillitis by that time, i screamed really loud whenever DJ would show up in the big screen.

update you soon, bloggy.

felt like taking lots of pictures of myself days ago, hence, this.
