Happy Holidays!!!

Those were really happy holidays.

I spent Christmas with my love ones and most specially to my special love one. Yihee! That was my first Christmas with a boyfriend. And I can't thank God enough for giving me that special gift. I never dreamed of Christmas with someone cuddling me. I knew Christmas as wrapping gifts for my family and friends, writing greeting cards for family and friends and sneaking in crowded department stores with my family and friends. I never think of it as special as what I had this Christmas. Shopping with the boyfriend. Attending gatherings with the boyfriend. Noche Buena with the boyfriend. Wuhooo!

And here are my holiday ramblings.

If I'm not mistaken, it was December 10, 2006 when me and my boyfriend went to Divisoria to hunt an MP4 player which was his Christmas present for me. We had a hard time struggling to the people crowding the whole place. Tsk. I can't even move my feet. The current will surely push you to wherever you will go. However, we succesfully bought an MP4 player with built-in camera and expandable memory storage with a DVD player as his bonus gift for me. Hehe. I love this man.

December 18, 2006. We went to Glorietta. We shopped and dine at the food court where we bumped his choir friends. Everytime we go out lagi na lang kaming may nakikitang friends or colleagues. What a small world.

Last December 21, 2006, we held our Christmas party at Parasol. The party went well though it was not properly organized. The people don't have much time for the preparation, guess they were too busy. Our musicians, our pride, performed that evening. Jason, supervisor in MIDI RT, wildly strummed his guitar while singing the song "Awit ng Kabataan" as popularized by River Maya. Paul was the bass guitar and the second vocal while Neil took the drumset. There were thrilling games that boost to everyone. After the party me with the tech guys went back to work. Actually, sila lang. Sinamahan ko lang si Ben that night. Hehe. We went home around 2AM. Our boss drove us home. They were surprised when Ben went down and came with me in our house. Then the rumor start spreading. Heck. It's okay. We're pretty obvious.

And on the eve of Christmas the boyfriend made me cry. Huhu. It was late morning of December 24, 2006 when he phoned me detailing his burden on work and I symphatized on him. Then the chatting went on until we came to the topic where and with whom he will spend Christmas. I knew Tita was in their house with them so I was convinced that he will spend it with his family but as we go with our conversation I knew that Tita was in their province, his Kuya with his GF, his nurse cousin on duty and Manang Pia went home to her family. So he was alone at home. He told me that he will play on church from 6 'til 11 PM. Huwat?! He will spend the Christmas in church? Pero ang nasa isip ko, he will go with his friends and spend the whole night with them. Huhuhu. I felt a knot in my throath that I can no longer utter words. So, I wished him a merry Christmas and dropped the phone. Priority nya friends nya, magsama sila ng kaibigan nya! I went to bed and cried then fell asleep. I woke late noon with agonizing stomach. I haven't take my lunch yet. Argh. I checked my phone but got no message from him. Hmp. I don't care! Sinong tinakot nya?! (I was that angry that day.) After eating, I coaxed my sister to went on town and buy some stuff that we will need that evening. I coaxed them to sing so I can forget the pain in my heart. At 6PM I received a message from him asking where am I. And I replied him "Bakit?". He told me that his on his way to Polo (our town) and he wanted me to meet there. Thought he will play and tag along with his friends. I was so angry so he ask for forgiveness and when he came to our house he explained that he just wanted to surprise me. He will really spend Christmas with me. I cried and hug him. Yihee! That was the best Christmas I've ever had.

On Christmas day we woke up early and attend the 9 o' clock mass. I was with him and my sister. The church was crowded. What do I expect? People are giving thanks to God for sending his Son. At home my relatives came one-by-one. Our small house has been filled with little fellas running and grown-ups joyously chatting to one another. My uncle and aunts welcome Ben to the family.

And how about New Year? It was the dullest new year I had. Me, my sister and Mom celebrate it at home. Only three of us. December 31, 2006 afternoon, we went to my brother's house. Nakipagkulitan lang dun then went back home on evening. That's it. My sister and I only watched movies 'til 12 midnight.

And now...everything back to normal. Work. work. work.

And oh, I forgot, my new year's resolutions? Quit smoking and drinking. Goodluck to me, but I can do it. I can beat my stubborness. Haha
