holiday madness

buzzbuzzbuzz... busy busy busy... that's how it's been soooo far since the 24th. haven't gotten a decent night of sleep yet...oooh, and it was this time that i managed to drive my actual brand new car around... for just about an hour tho. thankfully, i made it back alive. our choir's the one assigned to sing for the two midnight masses that night (which is already like our tradition).
funny thing was after the 2nd mass, every one of us was busy greeting each other, beso-beso and stuff. after all that commotion, as i was about to leave, making my way outta the church, someone called me from behind: "ATE FEMI!". i turned around and it was slob-girl Jeanette. why the code name you wonder? because this girl, she's nice but she idolizes me tooo damn much. and tries to kiss me every time she has to opportunity to do so. and everytime she does kiss me, it's not the usual beso-beso, cheek-cheek thing. when she kisses, she literally puckers her lips to my cheeks and spews out gallons of secretions (i.e. saliva) making my cheek feel like the pacific ocean. LITERALLY. so, EEEW. sorry. but im just saying.

25th. WAY tiring day! exhaustion! went to Cavite to deliver gifts then rushed on back to Alabang for lunch at Tita Evelyn's. I was willing to drive but NOT to Cavite. Unfortunately, I had NO choice. i tried to oppose but my dad won the argument. waaaah. nooooo. thankfully, nothing happened to my pretty car =)
after lunch, headed on back home and readied myself for the 4pm mass. 'twas just me and Tita Joy. oh gawrsh. the 5:15pm mass also had only 2 available lecs when i asked Chock. I would've volunteered but i was so darn tired already. so headed back home na.
in case it isn't obvious yet: I did all the driving this day, thankyouverymuch.

26th. went to Pasay. thankfully, didn't drive anymore. and thankfully, didn't bring my car. otherwise, i wouldn't be able to relax. it's so brand new (test driven 13dec; received 15 dec).. if anything happens to it... oh gosh.
played Wii with 3na... tennis sucked... loved the boxing.
after: headed to moa. wanted to literally scream and scold some parents in the hypermarket for bringing their 3 kids along with them... their 3 kids with chickenpox/measles! totally ruined my day! I swear my blood pressure skyrocketed at that instant!


27th. drove to church for my usual duty. kids were practicing songs. as i went down from my car, i felt eyes trailing me. didn't care to look whose they were. just went on straight to the main entrance of the church to sign attendance. as i was heading to the front to check on the readings, etc. I saw N following me, trying to catch my glance. she was smiling. argh. wtf. i thought we were over this and you're finally leaving me alone. grrr. what more should i do for you to get the hell outta my life!
and worse was that after the 4pm mass, as me and two of my kasamas were planning our jan1 duty, N approached me, tugging at my sleeve. i didn't know it was her. wasn't expecting it to be her at all. and since i was talking with some other people, i was naturally smiling and all... a genuine smile. but the instant i turned around and saw into her. ha! haha! ha! sorry but my reflexes kicked in. the smiley face was immediately gone and i turned to a more serious tone! hahaha! didn't mean it or anything but it just happened. REFLEX. no, wait. actually im not THAT sorry. proves that i can still be straightforward when i want to.

since i can't have my way with words on her... my actions just have to show it.

the night that was

Bananas probably contain a high amount of sugar in them... the reason that made me reach such conclusion? i was hyper all throughout the night last night. ok, from about 4 till after our first house carol, after which i immediately went downscale.

i was supposed to come from my 8-5 class for which the topic was supposedly pediatrics but the lecturer couldn't come. So, Sir Carlo bombarded us with exams... supposedly a 3-part exam, each containing 100items. and after each exam, we were supposed to have rationalization. grrrr. Sir Carlo made my head hurt! MIGRAINE! :P

This is how it always went all throughout the first 2.5 hr rationalization:

Sir Carlo: ("loud") ok, so the answer to #x would
be.... because... here's the rationalization.... you can look it up
in Pilliteri, page *blablablah* (trailing to a whisper + mic begins to disappear)

Class: Sir, louder please! / Sir, gamitin niyo naman mic
niyo oh!

Sir Carlo: oh, sorry... (then begins "loud" again which
again eventually trails to a whisper as the mic starts to sink)

*and for the record, the word LOUD is in quotation marks because it wasn't
really loud enough to begin with. it was just loud enough to be considered
audible if you actually listened in. haha sorry. anyway, to
make things worse, the class was so noisy pa!

So this really sucked big time. By the time we got back to class from our 30min break (we requested that it just be 30mins instead of the 1hr which he wanted to give us), Kristie immediately invited me & Ge to cut. for some miraculous reason, Ge didn't. haha peace Ge!
I did give in to Kristie's invitation. BUT upon reaching the 1st floor, biglang natauhan si Kristie! na-consensiya (sp?) ba man daw! imagine that, the person who invited to cut was the person to back out hahaha! LOL. this time, di na ko bumigay sa request niya. she went back to class, i left.

At least, gave me time to fix myself for that night's schedule. Nicole was soooo cute/pretty that night... i just wanted to pinch her.

I HATE CHESKA for making a fool of me. i was in heels that night (for the first time in ages i guess), and she wanted to trip me i guess. this started even before the mass started. she asked that we go for a walk... kala ko we were heading to the back, outside the church. i was even telling her: tita's gonna kill us if we don't return in time for the mass. all of a sudden, she just breezes back towards the choir area through one of the aisles and gives a sudden halt. ... to "buckle up her shoes" pssssh. whatever. in Cheska's language: I AIN'T RETARDED LIKE YOU, YO. :P so, for that, she got a kick in the rear hahaha :P

All throughout the mass, she was telling me of that morning's ordination. all the things that N had been doing.. hahaha LOL at chu. :P

the next series of TRY-TO-TRIP-FEMI came each time we entered the "spaceship" as i was trying to be careful not to step on her "shoe buckle" each time i had to position myself. failed on the last venture tho, haha. she had to pay the price :P

Carolling at the Lagdameo's place took time before we start as we had been busy with truffles' cute-ness. And by the time we actually started, we were all being tempted by all the yummy food prepared on the table near us. Everyone esp the organist (Kuya Arthur... haha special mention!!!). he just had to go and skip the 2nd song cos he was hungry na daw :P

I HATED HOW DELICIOUS EVERYTHING WAS. and i mean everything. it was "mexican night" cos of the nachos and the tortilla bits... yummmmmm... y'all knw how much i looooove Mex food. plus, the chillis on top of the fish sisig were calling out to me... same as with the Bicol Express. yup. y'also know i'm addicted to spicy stuff. heck, my tolerance for spicy-ness has even gone up the scale na nga eh. i swear i've got such a high tolerance for spicy-ness that my mom gets mad at me na, saying it's bad cos i'm starting to get immuned to spicy. there were so maaaaaany food on the table i don't think i can list 'em all here.

loads of dessert as well! i had to have a bit of each. 2 yummy rich chocolate cakes, frozen mango brazo (im a brazo lover so i still prefer the original brazo tho), and buko pandan.

i swear! EVERYTHING WAS DELISH! and i can't stress that enough. as i told Tito Tanny, that night was a disgrace to our diets (for the entire holiday season! haha). but heck, i'd love to come back to carol there again next week... anf the week after that... everyday pa nga eh! =D

after eating, we asked Kuya Keat to tour us through their new home since we missed to join in on Ate Christine touring the other ladies around. but the real reason was really that we wanted Kuya Keat as our tour guide haha! KUYA KEAT! KUYA KEAT! KUYA KEAT! :P

Loved what Cheska termed as "the little boy's room" aka Kuya Keat's tranquil blue room 'cos of the walk-in closet. Loved Ate Christine's zen red room 'cos of what she said was called a "wall padding". And, I loved Ate Kathy's girly pink room for the Hollywood-inspired dresser.

But the thing I loved most about their home: the attic! aaaah, how cozy!!! i didn't wanna leave,EVER!.., sabi ko nga kay Kuya Keat.

Kuya Keat:you're welcome to come over anytime...
my reply: pssssh. h'yeah right. we ain't ever leaving this place!


kahit nga sa offer niya ng caregiver, willing ako tumanggap eh hahaha

oooh, speaking of the attic, laughtrip si Truffles whose been attacking Kayla here, jumping on her and everything... hahaha

and I'M WEIRD. i know of such thing as referred pain, but is there something as referred tickle??! haha cos as Truffles was licking my hand, i found it ticklish alright. but i wasn't being tickled at the hand but in my thighs... haha. sorry, dun kiliti ko eh. :P


anyway, what else... guess that's pretty much it.

Didn't want to leave sana but we "kids" were just hitching a ride with Tita Lulu. As i found out, the other kuyas/ates were staying pa pala. I wanted to stay longer sana but i already said that i'd go with the kids. if i didnt go, i don't know who to ride with. We'd have to arrange ride assignments again, which would be hard to do last minute, as tita said we'd be leaving na.
anyway, I don't mind. After all, I SHALL RETURN! :P
