The One with My Christmas Musings

What it do?

Oh, so this is what it feels like to actually be awake before noon. It's...oddly unsettling. But it's a good thing; it's like adding an extra 5 hours or so to your day.

Anywho! It was a couple of weeks ago when it hit me: for the first time since 2004, I'm actually spending Christmas in Sydney. It's a weird feeling; usually by late November, I'm packing my stuff and organising my trip. And this is usually prime Mich-Mart bumming time! ROFL!

But yes, I think I'm due to spend some quality holiday time with the parents. It's been too long. Plus, summer '04-'05 was a lot of fun, for a number of different reasons, so I'm looking forward to the good times that are sure to come.

In any case, here's a whole list of the things I'm gonna be missing this Christmas:

• MICHELLE! HAHAHAHA. I spend more Christmas holidays with your family than I do with mine. ROFL! [Don't worry, we'll make up for it sometime soon! Shanghai, in the near future?]
• Waking up and trying to avoid Maco, 'cause he's usually still asleep. ROFL.
• Speaking of waking up, having the maids wake me up every morning 'cause they need to make the bed, which they can't do with me sprawled all over it.
• Oh, and the maids bugging me to eat breakfast! "Mahrk! GESENG NA MAHRK! Kaen ka na brekpas sa baba! Nandun na si Gang!" Which I knew was a lie, 'cause Michelle NEVER woke up earlier than I did. HAHA!
• Hotdogs and tapa for breakfast! OH! I'd like a serving of oil with a side of unhealthiness, thanks!
• Having nothing to do, and Tita Cel taking me for random shopping sprees.
• Daily basketball games. Three different channels. Awesome.
• Tagging along to pick up Mich from school. Despite the sweltering heat and unGodly traffic surrounding your school. ROFL!
• My beloved plane ride! I don't know, I've come to love the eight-hour trip. Call me weird.
• Getting picked up at the airport! I knew I'd hit the Phils as soon as I felt the overwhelming humidity. Baggage claim aside, I like the feeling of the airport, especially the dragging of my stuff to the car. ROFL!
• Mich and I spending inordinate amounts of money...on lunch. So, two steaks, tacos and giant sundaes for merienda then?
• Malling. What better way to waste a day? Okay, probably a million things better than malling, but still.
• Christmas Day with my Dad's side. Always fun.
• Bumming with my older cousins. Mostly because we get up to fun stuff. Like getting harassed by gay performers on stage. ROFL!
• Misa de Gallo! Waking up at 5AM (when we could, anyway, ROFL) and going with Mich to daily mass. Then going back to sleep until noon.

ROFL! I think that's enough.

In other news, party's on! Gonna go to the costume shop today and pick up a few things for Saturday, then I'll probably get the liquor sorted out either tomorrow or Saturday. Also, I'm getting a haircut tomorrow, which for a brief moment was supposed to contribute to one of my proposed costume ideas (Martin Mathers. ) But then I realised I didn't wanna go through with the bleaching and everything. So, the Eminem plan went out the window.

It's 8AM. As I said before, weird. Weird but good. Anyways, over and out!
