some things new

1. home alone this christmas

my brother left for qatar last week to see my parents for the holidays. not sure if he's staying there for work although they've been asking me to make his cv (wow, registered nurse na nga siya, ako pa rin gagawa ng cv...basta ba for a price hehe). too bad i can't come along coz two weeks is two short (panglaptop na lang yung plane fare hehe) and i think i have to hit the books in those two weeks. this only means i'm home alone this christmas: no brother, no mother or father. i have relatives of course, pero iba pa rin yung immediate family.

2. futsal tuesdays

kate and cy invited me to join their weekly futsal games at club650 in libis almost a month ago. i did go once, never mind that i have pril the next day. so, after medjur ended at 8pm one tuesday, i had dinner then read about 3 cases at seattle's before joining the 11pm-12mn game with inquirer peeps. then i went home to finish the readings, slept at 4am, woke up at 9am and just had enough time to review while on the way to school. kaya naman pala e!

i played in two more games. now i'm hooked. i asked for jerseys from my two blocks this christmas and i did get them. i asked my dad for futsal shoes one time; he bought a pair the next day and is due to arrive on christmas eve. yahoo! now my blockmates are finding this development a little too weird, i think hehe.

3. contact lenses

because vanity is my favorite sin, and because i had to act the part of a prince charming without glasses for our christmas parties this year, i finally bought a pair of contact lenses. i'm still in the process of getting used to it, medyo hassle pa rin e. i think i'll still stick to wearing eyeglasses pag tinatamad at nagmamadali.

4. nocturnal habits

ever since vacation began, i've been going out all night, sleeping in the morning and spending the afternoon lounging around, updating this blog from time to time. i'm starting to like this arrangement hehe. unhealthy but happy.

5. simbang gabi

and since i'm still up at 4:30am, i might as well attend simbang gabi, right? i'm not really a believer of completing the novena masses so my wish could be granted (i've never completed one before and it looks like i won't be able to complete it this year) but it's always nice to take part of a tradition that dates back to hundreds of years ago. and of course, it's also a good way to prepare for christ's coming.

merrry christmas everyone! and in keeping with my block's disney theme for christmas, may your dreams come true! for now, let me just sing: i've been dreaming of a true love's kiss...obviously not over it yet hehe.
