Yesterday was my dad's birthday and we went to SM Mall of Asia to watch movies but before that, we ate dinner at Mann Han were we were all full when we were done with everything except the Kare-Kare. It was a great dinner. Me, dad, mom,Ishzi (our youngest),Olac (my younger brother) and Tito Edwin (my mom's older brother) thought the food was delicious.
After dinner, we all separated ways. We wanted to watch Mano Po starring Sharon Cuneta but it wasn't aired in any of the cinemas so we took Ishzi to Alvin and the chipmunks Squeakuel and Mom and Dad watched "I love you, goobye" starring Angelika Panganiban. Tito Edwin changed his mind about watching the movie and just decided to play on World's of fun or Tom's world, I'm not sure.
Ayway, even if I really wanted to see the movie my parents watched, we needed to go with my sister to Alvin and the chipmunks. It was a good movie but it really was meant for kids. Maybe, I'll just watch "I love you, goodbye" later on DVD.
It's too bad we didn't have any pictures or videos taken yesterday for keepsakes that's why I'm writing it as soon as now here before my memory gap ruins the memories of it. We went home at ten in the evening and we were all so tired. I was just glad I made it right in time for the koreanovela I'm watching every weeknight.
I fel too bad I didn't greet my dad in person yesterday, I just posted my greetings here and on my other sites and on the personalized card I made for him. I don't know why I don't like greeting my parents or siblings happy birthday or any other occasions. I'm not the type of person. It sucks why I'm like this but I just am. But maybe in time, I'll learn to.
Again...
"Happy Birthday Dad! Loveyah!"

Playig Wii
Yesterday I tried out my new Wii sport and got my arms sore today.
My brother, sister, dad and I had fun plying with it.
My sister of 7 years old was really good in bowling. She could even get a strike. My brother tried out boxing and the whole room was quaking because he's really big. I tried all the games and it was fun though right now, I'm looking forward to buy the wii with yoga feature. That was what I wanted in the first place but I'm not complaining about anything. I'm thankful for this gift.

Daddy's Here For the Holidays
Since my dad arrived for a month vacation from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia back here to the Philippines, I haven't been able to write anything and read anything because we were always busy going out or trying and playing the gifts my dad bought us for Christmas.
The gift I received was a brand new Wii then a Nintendo DS for my younger sister. My mom has a new E71 phone and my brother is still going to buy the gift he wanted the most. He decided to look for a new Jansport or Girbaud bag though I'm sure he'll end up choosing the Jansport brand. He's asking me what color would be the best to choose and I can't remember what color is IN this year so maybe he should just choose what he thinks suits him then buy it. And the latest gift was a new wide screen TV intended for the use of my Wii but it's for all of us. My dad is willing to buy me a new phone but I know he wouldn't buy it if I don't really insist on buying one so maybe I won't be buying one.
Aside from material gifts, we also had fun times together adding to a happy family memory. We went malling then to Tagaytay where we came to visit the Pink Sisters' convent for the first time. It was really peaceful and relaxing there like all my problems were suddenly taken away from me when we arrived there. The nuns there were called sisters because of their clothes which were color pink. They were very prayerful because while the chapel is open to anybody everyday, the nuns stay in one room and start praying when the chapel opens. One nun is assigned to pray in front of the altar on a certain time and then another one replaces her after her allotted praying time in front of the altar then it goes on and on like that. They were praying for God's mercy continuously that's why many people go there not only for curiosity but because they're expecting to have greater hope for God's mercy there. After praying and buying souvenirs, e ate our lunch there on the convent's parking lot and we left.
After Tagaytay, we went to Enchanted Kingdom in Sta. Rosa, Laguna. It's an amusement park and since we went on a peak season, it was full but since we were already there,we paid for an all ride ticket and hoped to enjoy ourselves. But as always, I still hated the place. I was pissed at the crowd and everything else so i don't really want to talk about it.
Then New Year came and we went to visit my grandparents' home in Nueva Vizcaya. It was fun even though we didn't really spend the New Year lighting many fireworks. I had fun because my grandparents were there, our family was complete and my younger cousins were there, too. We had fun together not only on new year's eve but every day that we spent there then Jan. 3, we went back here to Manila since my siblings' classes started again.
I don't have that much time to write anything or read right now and besides I'm low on ispiration to write anything though I'm copy-pasting the story Renesmee(posted on Goodreads.com) so i could print it later.
My dad's birthday is coming up and I already have a gift for him. Anyone want to guess what my gift is? Besides the gift, i also made a personalized card for him with the help of my siblings. I hope he will like it.
Anyway, even if he won't be able to read my greeting online here in Blogger, I'm greeting him an...
Advance Happy Birthday Dad! I love you and Thanks for Everything! I wish you all the best and in God's Mercy, we will pass all the problems that come for us and we will face it as a family. We will always be here for you! We love you! I wish you a very long and healthy life! :)

"Playing Pretend" a blovel by SiNgUrL - Chapter 1: "Best Friends" - Blovel Spot
Void On Christmas
Waking up at five o'clock to go to the bathroom, I climbed down from our double deck sleepily. Outside, I could hear Christmas songs playing from our barangay's little chapel. Our house help was already there waiting for the "Simbang Gabi"like how she did everyday. I passed by my uncle's bed and he hasn't arrived yet and I wondered where he could be and asked her, our house help, if she knew but like any of us, she didn't.
I climbed back to bed feeling cold. The wind is chilly this time of the year here in the Philippines and I wondered how lower the temperature in our province could be.
After drinking water from my new personalized tumbler, I rested back on my bed. Then the mass was starting, I could hear it. But I can't. I don't want to. I caught my breath thinking about him, my special friend.
The past few months before I came back here, we attended mass, prayed the rosary and novena together. We always sat next to each other feeling comfortable and warm. He usually rested his ankle on his knee while the other was resting on my leg. I could remember it clearly. I haven't seen him do that with anyone but me. And I liked the feeling of his gestures. We also usually played with our hands, tangling and untangling them, holding each other feeling warm. I could also recall when he snatched away the cookie I was munching on and ate all of it so that I couldn't snatch it back from him. I wince at him then he would give me the cookie he was munching on and smile like it was only normal that I ate his cookie when he eats mine.
One time, his sister would lean next to him and he would move away telling her to stop bothering him and then his sister would ask why he was acting that way toward him but when it was me, he would stay still and even get closer. that was what our sister complain about t times.
"Why don't you want me to hug you but when it comes to him..."
"It's always him..."
That's what my sister always says and that's what I heard from his sister one time.
Those were our memories. Some of them, I mean. Because now, even if i badly miss him and long to be with him, I can't because he's so far away, literally. I left that place because i was a coward. I couldn't face having such satisfying happiness and overwhelming warmth because I know it wouldn't last. I don't expect it, too. I have been to a relationship before that I expected too much and believed in it that much until it only ended painfully sooner than I thought it would. And I don't think I could face that kind of heartbreak again.
I do miss him so much and this Christmas, I won't be able to be with him and listen to Christmas music. I just wish someone could fill the void that I'm feeling now. Someone to patch it but no, that's not what I really want. Because what i want is o see him agaian and continue the happiness I was feeling before i left.

Farmville Fun
Opening my facebook acccount almost everyday to check my notifications and my games became a habit.
My favorite game so far is farmville wherein I own a farm and manage it. From a small piece of land, I plow then plant and harvest then start all over again. I earn and level up tp make my land vast and rich. Buying seeds and decorations, buying and adopting farm animals and other strange animals that aren't supposed to be in a real farm, planting trees which were givven as gifts by my friends.
When I reach the right level and amount of money, I could upgrade my farm and buy an extension of the land to make it larger because there are so many new things to buy and put in it. I just love it when I level up while competing with my friends. It's so cool. I love the game!
Try playing it on http://www.farmville.com then add me as farmville neighbor. :)
This December, you can pile up gifts up to a hundred under a Christmas tree then you get to open them on Christmas day! I'm so excited to complete my collection.

14 Books to go?!
I set a personalized challenge for myself this year - MY PERSONAL 2009 CHALLENGE. But I started doing it and setting it halfway of the year that's why I still have to read 15 books.
The challenge I chose for myself is to finish reading books with their author's surnames (A-Z).
The books I finished reading so far for the challenge are the following:
A- Alcott, Luisa May (Little Woman)
B-
C- Cook, Robin (Seizure)
D- Deaves, Jefferey (Devil's Teardrop)
E-
F- Follett, Ken (Hornet Flight and Pillars of the Earth)
G-
H-
I-
J-
K- Kelly. Cathy (Lessons in Heartbreak)
L- Lee, Harper (To Kill a Mocking Bird)
M- Montgomery, L.M. (Anne of Green Gables)
N-
O- Orwell, George ( Animal Farm)
P- Patterson, James (2nd Chance), Prophet, Elizabeth Clare (Lost Years of Jesus Christ)
Q-
R-
S- Soto, Gray (Afterlife) ; Salinger, J.D. (Catcher in the Rye)
T-
U-
V- Vincenzi, Penny (Another Woman and Almost a Crime)
W-
X-
Y- Yap, Joselito (In Our Days) ; Young, Karen (Beyond Summer)
Z-
It's still a long way to go but I have enough time. Tonight, I'm going to finish the book "Ice Maiden" by Edna Buchanan for letter B.
I'm still not finished because maybe I wasn't that focused with the challenge. I made it a rule to myself that I won't include the sequel books in the list and so I didn't but I kept on reading them and I also had read books with the needed letter twice like in letter S above. I was also always being distracted with my other hobbies like sketching, painting, scrapbooking, and writing, which took most of my time.So I must try to focus before January 1, 2010. I must fill in the missing letters above.
Good Lcuk with me and those with reading challenges of their own! :)
