I couldn’t think of any title so I decided to count how many days before Valentines day comes… I’m bad in counting so don’t be surprised if I’m a day late or advanced, anyway that’s that.
The new year just started and a new life for me awaits, I can still remember the smell of fireworks and firecrackers that my neighbors in laguna used the past celebration, how people waited for the New year thinking they can leave everything they regret and did wrong in the year that will be leaving. I celebrated Christmas and New year with my Family and relatives in Laguna, with was nothing unusual yet every year I look forward for those 2 days, aside from my birthday of course. We had a pot-lock party at Christmas, our place in laguna is just at the side of my mom’s older sister and to its right side was another house in which my mom’s youngest sister and her family lived. they were all 5 in the family all of them girls, so definitely no one carried the name of the family when they go married. the other two sisters of my mom was living somewhere in BF homes, one of which I used to live when I was in first year college before moving into my brother’s place here in quirino. it was easy for us to prepare food, to find each person and to stay bonded because each house was near the other. My brother helped my mom cook chichken curry and I helped her make lasagna, by 7 in the evening of december 24 everyone in the family was present, except for my cousin who was studying in vienna. there was a variety of food in the main table thai food, jap food, italian and filipino food and everyone rounded it like ants getting their own part of food. after eating we all gatherd in the garden at one house and talked non-stop, sang using magic sing and waited for Christmas day to come. I went to mass with my four other cousins and came back just in time for gift giving, the most awaited part of the party. We would all gather around the living room and sit there patiently as our names are called, we waited like little children except that now we are all grown up and most of us are not allowed to fall in line for the aguinaldo-giving part, the only ones allowed were up to high school students and I was two years ahead. that was all I can write the rest is history.
new year’s eve came like the other new year’s eve the only new thing about the last was that I confessed before the new year started and that felt really great. I was planning to have a new years resolution list but then I got lazy a only wrote a few, good thing I went to the YFC discovery camp and they instructed us to make something like one.
The new year started, my tito lighted up all the firecrackers they bought and we had a feast in 3 different houses, with three different menus. looking forward for a new year is awkward in a way, I find myself leaving something I didn’t want to but then it feels great to be moving on and to know that I’m still alive and continuously pestering the people around me, making their lives more miserable and it could ever be. hehehehe… now that I have learned how to inject, I can make their lives more miserable than I could before. hahahaha
this entry is not something that is worth reading so now you can regret that you read it to the last word. hahahahaaahah.
