Hello! Christmas went well and everything hasn`t faded away my head just yet. I`m sure my Christmas isn`t over yet.

On Christmas eve, we went to Simbang Gabi. The entrance was just mindblowing. There were children younger than me and a few just about my age that were part of the entrance. I saw one person who I`m familiar with. I never met her, but I`m certain she`s in my batch. I think she`s from Kahel?
After attending the one hour mass, we dropped by Starbucks, then we headed home. It took a while for my mom to prepare Noche Buena so my brothers, dad and I just stayed in the chilly third floor balcony doing random things.
When the food was ready, we went downstairs to the first floor. The food was yummy. We had lasagna and bread. Yes, just a meal that simple became our Noche Buena.
Next, we waited for a couple of moments and my mom and Kuya went downstairs with shopping bags on their hands. Inside them were our gifts. We sorted them out first before we opened them.
For some weird reason, our television was tuned in GMA 7. I think it was because my dad was watching TV.
I only got around four or five gifts. Even though it was few, they were worth so much that I could never trade them in for anything!
Some of my favorite gifts I received were shirts, an original LeSportsac bag and a hamburger speaker. The favorite shirts I got were the two Knoller shirts from the Perfect White Shirt. It came from my mom and dad. My mom knew that I wanted one badly. So (deep down inside me,) I super appreciate my mom`s trouble into finding the shop where they sell them. When I grow up, I`m sure to go as far as I can to get my mom something she wants as bad as I wanted the shirts.


Then came Christmas day.
My relatives from my mom`s side came over, as usual. Most of my family members were seated outside in the decent dining room that is reserved for guests only, while my little brother and I were stuck inside the usual everyday dining room. We ate barbecue with rice, and I ate a little bit of liempo too. It was undoubtfully delicious.
I got the usual gifts that day: Blouse, a journal, and money. I also got a planner, although I`d still be using it for 2011. I already have a 2010 planner (All Hail, Starbucks.)
For dinner, it was the same. My little brother and I had to stay in the usual dining room. We ate Mac and Cheese. I love it.
After that, I just stayed in my room, quietly using my beloved (lol) computer, alone, because it was too boring downstairs. I didn`t bother to say goodbye to my relatives, and I don`t know why.

Last night (December 28), my mom came home with a loot of gifts. I got a cap and a shirt that makes me look American.

Despite these, my Christmas isn`t over yet. I`m waiting for someone to come along. Actually, not only someone, but a bunch of people.
The friends I`ve had ever since. I hope they come along. If they do, I`ll keep this updated. c;
(to be honest, I didn`t feel the Christmas spirit this year. I`m still hoping for them ^ to visit so that my Christmas would be complete.)
