I didn’t do much in the first weeks of December though some of those days can be . . . peaceful(?). Well people say “every day might not be good, but there is something good in everyday.” I kind of agree to that.
December 16, 2015
So I woke up early at 6:30 am to prepare myself for the planned day or what we usually call gala bc my best friend and I wanted to hang out together at the villagio mall and, well celebrate Christmas together, just the two of us. I know she’s the most excited one because whenever we facetime each other she would always say “ahh! I’m so excited in 16th. wish tomorrow is 16th”. I laughed and told her just relax.
Anyway, took a bath, brush my teeth, eat, few minutes on my phone, eat again, make-up time, prep my things, prep my outfit, eat, then again a few time left on my phone. I got ready, went down stairs to the car and wait for my mom to get the cheesecake in the fridge( today is my little sister’s Christmas party at my old school). When I opened the front seat door, I didn’t know my mom brought her friend so I was embarrassed and apologized and I got at the back seat then I mano po( a cultural sign of way of accepting a blessing from the elders). I was quiet on the whole trip before going to school but then I got annoyed because my mom started talking about our gala to her friend and that they thought that we were planning the hang out is such a very big deal like wasting money, seeing boys, being all cute to other people, and other weird thoughts that adults do. “No mom, we are just a bunch of teenagers who are very close to each other or what we call ourselves as an unbiological sisters who wanted to hangout and be weird to each other because we missed seeing each other outside and we wanted to talk alot in person and how we wanted to talk a lot of things and we love going shopping and eating and well, we just love hanging out and spending time together like any other best friends would do, that’s all.” I thought. is what I thought. I finally got out of the car and the class is starting.
While we were on a little break, one of my friends, Bugs( I call him that as a nickname plus he looks like a bugs bunny) said that I look like Chrissy Costanza. tuuuuuuuuuuut. I got a froze expression because I don’t even know her. who is she? a celebrity? maybe because I was wearing make up? So I surf the net and I was like WOOWW WHAT? I look nothing like her more over she’s more pretty than I am(ouch did I just lowered myself there or what?) then Bugs kept telling me that I’m pretty as her and I was like wha– no way then I ask my other friend, Gurl, if I looked like her, she said there’s a similarity. So the vote goes to uhmm nope I don’t look like her. After school, I walked to the nearest supermarket and got a cab transpo myself at the mall. I got to the mall in time, maybe earlier, then I called my best friend on my phone and asked where the hell should we meet so I went to the nearest sports shop, GoSports, and I waited for her maybe around 30 minutes so I looked around. When I saw her I got so excited and happy to see her again. Deym, how long has it been since we last hang out together? hahaha. We wanted to go to the park but before we even got there by short cut we thought the park was closed bc it looked like it was under construction or something. We got hungry so we went away to the food court but when we got there we got the least trouble on what we’re gonna eat. Either burgers? or pastas? we’re so hungry we thought why not both but if we do that we might not finish them all so we decided burgers for an empty stomach. But before we can even order, I saw the two-face‘s friends. It was an awkward moment. Since it was December 16th (every student, well not everyone, after Christmas party they plan to gala all day either at the mall or just somewhere in the villagio mall). So we decided to eat Burger King’s then we exchange our gifts. I guess she liked my gift yea? also loved her gift for me it was a necklace. We kept bumping and seeing two-face’s friends and two-face himself, who keeps hiding whenever he sees me I guess. I don’t know if he’s even a coward or just playing stupid, like really wth. Even one of his friends kept being annoying and mentioning the past, I was like “like really stop”. It was annoying. Anyway, my best friend and I just kept talking and talking to each other like non-stop then kept walking around the mall like “are we even gonna buy a single product in here”, we laughed. We went to the Virgin Shop📚, Pappa Rotte☕️, starbucks🍹, and some other sale stores📌. Yeyy, we finally bought something 💕. We kept looking at the time but no matter how much time we thought we wasted it’s so slowww, I swear, we already roamed around the entire mall and there wasn’t even 10 minutes wasted. So It was a slow and tiring day but it was an amazing day bc we got to hang out and all and even met weird people, mostly my best friend, shhh though I love her💕. I guess I think it was a day worth spending. When I got home and lay down on my bed, I closed my eyes a little and I realized “hmm what the hell, time flies so fast. Am I kidding what is with the space-time continuum?”.
December 19, 2015
My family and I planned to watch a movie on a saturday. I wanted to watched Star wars: the force awakens. But my little sister doesn’t wanna watch but I convinced her to watch the movie by telling her the old characters like Han solo, chewbacca, Darth Vader, Yoda, Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa (she’s kind of interested in The Disney Infinity thing, so she knows them all).
Reaction: Oh My Glob!
Feeling: Excitement
Finally after so many years, star wars has been revived. It was so awesome when I watched it but the story was so sad. I even felt delight when I saw the traditional star wars entrance. It’s like back to zero again. I thought it would have more peaceful universe after the 1983 prequel(yup. I’ve watched all the star wars films according to the episodes) but turns out more trouble came ah? It felt like history is repeating itself. Like I said it was awesome, I even loved the new characters especially Rey. Her actions are so mysterious like what she gonna do next? She may have this cowardly-side in her but in the end she’s just self-sustaining herself and realized what’s most important so she does her best in the adventures by trying and because of Finn. But the most shocking and unbelievable part happened is when Han Solo died. THAT’S RIGHT, Han Solo was literally killed by his out-of-his-mind son, Kylo Ren, who I think is obsessed with his grandfather’s legacy. I mean, I cried so hard when I got home and really, just cannot believe it.
And when I watched one of the interviews with Harrison Ford, he said that, I think him, Han Solo should have already died in the star wars V or VI but they just let him stay on the character because fans really looked forward to him on the scenes. So does that mean — so I guess the force awakens is his final appearance. Ugh I cried so hard. Really, I hope there’s more in part 2, in Luke’s and Rey’s part but of course expect what happened to Finn, Leia, and some other characters. Ooohh I’m partly happy because C3PO and R2-D2’s there. So yeah, expect more for the upcoming.
December 24,2015
I can’t believe it. I achieved the sleeping goal. yup 13-hours of sleep, yey! So whatever anyway, Tomorrow’s christmas and every year my family and I went to our relatives to celebrate God’s birthday and every year me and my cousin would watch horror movies for fun. Before we could go, of course we prepared ourselves — the food, the gifts, outfits, and everything else needed to be prepared on this day, when I got out of the house I was surprise it was raining and I love rainy days, so it means it’s gonna be cold this whole winter. yup.
December 30, 2015
God I’m so happy I don’t even know where to start. Well — it’s not that a big of a deal. So today was the final winter exam. When I took the test, I was so THRILLED that I perfected my exam. S o yeah thank God, I studied.
Feeling: Happy and freezing!
December 31,2015
Yeyy! Today is FINAL day of 2015. I’ve learned a lot of lessons this year and whatever I’ve done to those 365 days I’ll leave them behind. There were a lot of cryings, regrets, disappointments, and struggles but there’s also moments of delights, joy, and memories. Well — life lessons. There were people we’ve lost but we still hold on the things that are still with us and that letting go was the best thing for us to move on in order to be happy and accept the things the way they are. 2015 has change people a lot and hoping that 2016 would be even more challenging with the lessons we’ve learn from 2015.
So today is the celebration day before The New year an we are celebrating just me and my family. We went on a shopping dinner, going out for a change and then went back to eat dinner at home. Mom made a lot of surprising dishes that mostly wasn’t on our cultural menus //laughed. While we were eating we also watched a movie marathon, RED 2. Though I think this day and night is the most happiest celebration I had in years and I’m hoping for a better one next time.
So hope everyone had a good December and a merry Happy New Year!
PHOEBE CA.
