'glad mom and dad listened to me and got us to attend mass this morning! huehuehue! arch on the other hand, was on his bed and slept all the way like one @#^&*^$#$!@#$%^&*(&&^%$#@!...[whoops. that was a long cuss, haha] ok. so that aside.
i enjoyed my time at church; ive missed the unity of the beautiful people i grew up seeing regularly eversince grade1, the praises, the homily, the aura of that house and the aroma of the incense, the solemn moments of course, and the greeting the priests after the mass. havent done all that in a looooong time.
got home to prepare for the celebration. twas all good; moms nagging plus the listening to the cheeky chipmunks-christmas-music plus the working-together-as-one helped made our job easier and time more worthwhile :) [a big smile for that!]
growing up, gifts have always been my only anticipation besides food and games when times like these come. but now, i noticed how im not so into those things any more than ive always wanted to even when i 'complain'ed "where are my gifts?!". deep inside me knows i do not need material things to fulfill my happiness. simple things like the smiles on their faces, the kisses, the embraces, the good health, and the togetherness already meet my happiness. i think ive experienced quite enough for me to know the importance of what we really want and need for gifts in our lives. i remembered how acquisitive i was, whining and my being cantankerousness to my parents who would eventually give in to my desires even if i knew i was asking for absurdly impossible things. gee. thinking back, i realised how hard it is to be a parent. theyd still comfort you and will always do their best to grant your wishes. despite your over-ness in everything. and now that im already almost grown up, all i want for christmas is to spend it with my whole fam. hopefully next year.
thank you for all the gifts anyway. theyre all lovely. i had a pretty much good time. especially the night with the blotto, Kris G :) and i love her margarita and my own absolut vodka. but nothing will top the mass, hehe. emmm, lazy to post pics so just bear with the woozy post :) *get dizzy*
