AWESOMENESS in the HOUSE!

Family Reunion in Bohol: Dec. 24, 2011

After eating breakfast we started making the mango float already. Hahaha! I made it with my sister, Ate Jessica, Christian and Ate Joanne. It’s fun to make food for Christmas Eve when you’re with your family! :) Haha. After making two batches, nakatulog nanaman kami ng kapatid ko! :)) Well, I guess ganun talaga, grab every chance you can get to sleep lalo ‘pag bakasyon! When we woke up it was late afternoon, then we went to the other house, Uncle Junior’s house. They were singing kasi may karaoke, at may disco lights pa sila! Hahaha!

Ate Chona, Ate Ytette, Kuya Joemar (Uncle Junior’s 4th child and only son; he’s taking Architecture somewhere in Bohol I dunno the name of the university eh) and Maritcho (youngest, Grade 6) were there, along with Aunt Marsha (Uncle Junior’s wife), Kuya Ruel (Ate Chona’s boyfriend—yes boyfriend, ilang years nang magkasama ‘tong dalawang ‘to pero di pa rin nagpapakasal!) and Kuya Mark (Ate Ytette’s boyfriend). So yeah, kumakanta sila at nagpaparty . . . They were drinking champagne too. Tapos sabi nila uminom daw kami, tapos sabi ‘di naman kami pwede. Tapos sabi ni Ate Chona, pwede daw sabi ni mama! Haha! Pero onti lang. So she took two glasses then poured champagne, half full :p Onti pala ‘yun sa kanya :)) It tasted alright. Medyo lasang Sprite na pinatamis. Hahaha! Paonti-onti lang naman pag-inom ko, except nung paubos na . . . Didn’t go wild though, medyo sumakit lang ulo. :p Ate Cheche came too, but she didn’t drink much. We also sang in the karaoke haha. Then dad called us to prepare for the Simbang Gabi.

After having dinner, we walked to the church at around 10:10p.m. because the mass would start at 10:30p.m. Jam-packed na ‘yung church! :p We were standing and there was almost no room inside. We stood there for two hours, kasi medyo mahaba ‘yung mass tapos ang daming ginagawa, Simbang Gabi nga naman. The choir was lead by Tita Cora’s brother who is also a teacher and is gay, but he’s really good! As in. Haha. We left the church a few minutes before 12:30a.m. Grabeng tagal, noh? :))

We went home to our grandparents’ house first with Mama Choly. She brought pizza! Pero not known brand, at nakalimutan ko na rin ‘yung name. :)) But it’s delicious. :D I ate the lumpia that mom made. Hahaha! ‘Yun lang ata. There was cake too, but I told myself I’ll eat it the next day. Then I asked mom where the mango float was (because it’s my favorite dessert during Christmas hihi) and she said it hasn’t hardened that much yet because one of the two containers had no lid haha! So yeah. After that we went to the other house, Uncle Junior’s house, and ate there too. :)) They had barbecue, yey! :))

Ate Cristy, one of our cousin teachers I told you about, came with her husband Kuya Seglenn and their 1- or 2-year-old baby girl, KC! She’s so curly-haired and singkit just like her! Haha! As in, sobrang cute. They were playing some modern party songs, and she was dancing, copying the moves she’s seeing from around her! Haha! Cuuute!! Then they say “KC, lip sync!” and she would move her mouth around :)) But the cutest thing about her is that she’s always smiling!! Waa sobrang cute talaga :)) Cutest baby ever!! Haha!!

Oh, we also played some parlor games. Una, ‘yung dapat isusuksok ‘yung straw sa bote—but here’s the catch: Most of us there were girls, the only boys were Kuya Joemar and our cousins’ boyfriends or husband hahaha! So ‘yung bote nakaipit sa legs nila and we had to put the straw there using our mouths. But it was all good ‘cause it was family. B-) The second game was we put a toothpick each in our mouths then we had to pass a rubber band using the toothpicks. Ah basta! Ang galing nga ng strategy ni Kuya Ruel e hahaha!

After all that, Ate Joanne said goodbye and left with her sister and PJ and Ken. After a few minutes the four of us (me, Danielle, Ate Jessica and Ate Che-che) also said goodbye and went back to our grandparents’ house. Pero ‘di pa kami natulog!!! We played cards (‘yung paunahan at may iba-ibang actions ang King, Queen, Jack at Ace—‘di ko alam tawag sa game na ‘yun) and ate the mango float! Yey!! At success ang ginawa namin! Hahahaha! :p

We did all that until 4 in the morning. Grabe, nauna pa ngang matulog ‘yung kabilang bahay kesa sa’min. Hahaha!! Pero it was fun, welcoming the birth of Christ with your family. ;)
