Christmas blues

Christmas.

it's surprisingly colder now than the past few days, that i've been hugging a pillow and covering myself with a blanket just to keep me warm. heehee. i can feel more now the Christmas spirit that i've been trying to put into my system.

we started the celebration with a Christmas mass. unfortunately, lolo and lola didn't go with us due to some reason (lolo got cranky and lola got pissed off... talk about grandparent quarrels), so there were only three of us (my aunt, raffy and i) who went. and before the mass started:

me: tita, ang weird. (referring to having only 3 of us for Christmas mass)
aunt led: eh, ganun talaga. di ko na nga lang masyadong iniisip. temporary lang naman 'to eh.
me: sa bagay...

for the past years, the molinas and zabalas used to attend Christmas mass together. but now, since my whole family and uncle boy are in the US now, we're down to only five.

when noche buena came, we had our yearly family picture-taking by the dining table and Christmas tree. it was then another case of that weird feeling, coz, you know.

less people, less food... obviously less happiness this time. noche buena ended sooner than i expected. lolo and lola went straight to bed after eating, my aunt followed right after cleaning stuff, and raffy slept after watching TV.

and i'm still awake. alone. i feel kinda lonely coz my family's not around to celebrate with me, but i actually shouldn't. i still have my relatives, friends and xanji to keep me company here in manila.

alright, gotta sleep. still have to wake up early for another mass, this time with my grandparents. tsk, hindi pa kasi sumama kanina eh! hehe. ;p

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU!!! :)
