I was going to write, but I'm lazy.
2006 - it's going ok.
Because I forgot what I did for New Year's '04 to '05, I'll remind myself what I did this year. Yay! Something to write...
Last Friday (12/30)
What did I do last Friday? I woke up at 130am to work my final graveyard shift of the year. I was finally relieved from work at 1130am to get ready to make my way to San Jose. While I packed, I decided to take a quick power nap that, instead of lasting 15 minutes, it reached an hour plus. So, by the time I left SF, it was a complete down pour, plus traffic on 101.
Around 5pm, I arrive at 620 S. Tenth Street. We didn't make our way to Northside until almost 6pm. I dressed up in black pants and barong tagalog. I entered the library to see the kids getting ready. One of the adings gave me a Christmas gift. She didn't believe that I appreciated the gift. I took my barong off and put on the shirt to prove that I accept the gift. Goodness!?
The night was very long. I was telling another ading that the candle bearers were standing up there for a good hour and a half. Gosh, sucks to be them! The dinner was good, yet I was starting to get really tired. You would too if you've been up since 130am and the time was already 9pm.
With the invite to Sofa Lounge, a couple of us made our way to the 21 and up venue. With two drinks down the esophagus, we listened to the righteous band, chatted with a few individuals, and walked in the rain toward Temple. Danced a little, attempted to get a drink (unsuccessful), and tried to redeem ourselves from the previous night.
That's the end of Friday. Did I mention that a short phone conversation with someone made me sleep a lot easier!
Last Saturday (12/31)
Shopping with the kids was the plan. The plan started off with three of us, ended with eight of us. We went to Valleyfair, a bunch of us bought something. I was able to return the gift favor to my ading by letting her choose her gift. It actually went like this:
"Buy this for me, Kuya."
I grabbed the shirt from her and paid for it. Luckily for me it was on a super sale.
I bought two more Star Wars Legos collection sets. Woohoo! We eventually got out of the mall by 5pm, and I drove the designated kids home. For the rest of the night, I spent the evening with Sassy Girl and family. Two memories from the evening had to be when Tita threw coins all over the floor when midnight hit. It was like a pinata and the candy spewing out. All you see our bodies on the ground picking up coins. The second is when we played Mario Party 7. I tell you, we could have been a little more competitive and definitely more communication. At least we didn't lose completely. Other than that, I enjoyed being close to you again. (Oh! Covering mouth)
Good night 2005! It was interesting, heart-breaking, emotional, fun-filled.
Last Sunday (01/01)
To be continued...Happy New Year!!!
