christmas 2003
the days (and nights) leading to this year's 25th of Dec. were good ones. sleep deprivation and bad i-can-shoot-all-of-you-if-only-i-have-a-gun traffic can all be forgotten when you think of how fun those days were.
but i threw a tantrum yesterday. so the 25th actually sucked. i should be ashamed, right? 'twas the celebration of God's birth...His birth into our lives...and i was being a major brat.
tsk.

my brother's leaving for a month long treck of vietnam and cambodia. yeah, yeah, ive had my share of frightful stare down contest with vietnamese immigration officials, eeeky snails, embroidered bags (and not the shiny silk ones please), a cruise down (or up, i have a poor sense of direction) the mekong river, climbed up angkor wat, bantai srei and about 12 more temples,
etc etc...but i just know he's going to have more fun than i did.
I JUST KNOW IT.

when they said it was going to be a month long trip, i threw my water bottle down and refused to walk to the car (this was after early morning mass). they found that funny so off we walked again.
they brought it up during lunch and i casually asked my brother how he plans to leave when his knees will be banged up (by moi of course). he said that even if i cut off his legs, he'd crawl his way to vietnam. hmmm you'd fit right in with the landmine victims, i mumbled.
i went home to get a nap, freshened up, went back to my lola's house to find them talking about his trip again. kainis! so i waited for a lull in the convo and said, "nasaan ang passport mo, randy?"
that stopped them.
and then they all started talking at once. "Where did you put his passport?" "You went home to hide his passport, noh" "Ikaw naman, nagawa mo na yun e, si randy naman." and the clincher...from mee mom, "Grow up!"
hmp! all the time, i was just trying to spice things up....playing my part (contra vida) so to speak...but that remark got to me!
"Daddy!!!!! Si Mommy oh!!!!"
That was the end of it. Daddy gave me the turn-of-the-tide talk and i told him i was just acting up to make things spicier. And then i gave him a piece of my chicken joy. =)))
****
but randy's coming down with a flu. hope it lasts until th 11th of jan.....
