Today I beat another record. I woke up at 6pm. Last record was 4pm. Well, no, I didn't go out last Thursday night, I just had a Lindsay Lohan marathon, my mom found a DVD that contains every single Lindsay Lohan movie you can ever think of and I took it, watched whole night and day then slept at about 6am, is it my fault that I couldn't sleep?
So I woke up, with my sight still hazy, the first thing I checked was my phone and I almost jumped from my bed when I saw 47 unread messages and 9 missed calls, most of them are greetings for Christmas. I thought they were all just greeting in advance, but to my surprise, it was actually the 24th of December already (No wonder I was dreaming of my mom's spaghetti the whole time!)
So I've been a bum the whole day. Opened my facebook, took a shower, helped mom prepare stuff for the three of us (Mom, dad and I), opened the wine and finished the whole thing myself, they say a glass of wine is healthy but what about a bottle?! Well, who cares.. Okay, I must be hella bored right now cause I'm documenting my whole day again. But you gotta admit though, it's good to see an entry from me that's not about my heartaches for a change.
I actually thought it was going to be a lonely dinner again cause it's just me and my parents, but no, it was alright, not the best but not so bad either. My brother's at his condo with his girlfriend but he promised to spend the New Year's Eve with us. Well he better be here by then or I'll go wherever he is and drag him all the way here at home.
Christmas Eve wasn't perfect, but with all the greetings and smiles I hear and see around me, I can somehow feel the "Spirit of Christmas" they're all talking about. Although I felt it much more back then, when my granny's still alive, back when I was still a kid and the only question I have in mind was which dessert's the best, back when I don't over-analyze things and back when the toughest thing to do was to take off the tape on my gift.
I'm no longer lonely, right now I just feel blessed that I'm still spending Christmas with both my parents, and that I can still taste my momma's Spaghetti that's to die for (if you haven't tasted it then you're missing out!), and I still have friends that even bothers greeting me through the internet or my cellphone even though I've always been MIA.
You can spend time with your friends all year long, and that is why Christmas should always be spent with family, it's the only time of the year where you're excused to be all cheesy and affectionate to your parents and siblings (especially for the not so affectionate ones like me)
Okay, it's 2am and I think I should turn in now (..or not!) Oh! By the way, Merry Christmas ;)
