Christmas starts on December 23. That's like Christmas Eve's Eve. Right?

Anyhow, so we had a party at the house last December 23. The reason: Christmas kasi on December 25. Haha. It also happened to be Kuya Joe and Ate Rovi's wedding anniversary, so we celebrated that as well...I guess.

As usual, everyone was there--the Ocampos, de Leons, Villafanias, Lagmans and Catelos. Saya-saya, duh buh? Haha.

I enjoyed playing with Shane (Ate Lana's little boy who looks amazingly, fantastically, remarkably, wowly like cousin Josh! *gasp!*) and Iya. I had a full glass of wine pala muna before going off to baby-sit them. Haha. Those two are such cuties! Super best chums. Ahaha. But really, ang pinaka-nag-enjoy sa party was John! *applause* Haha. Peace, insan.

After December 23, we had another get-together nung December 24. So, pretty much less than 24 hours since we last partied. Haha. And wow! Same people pa rin! Haha. The Catelo family didn't go, though. Oh well. Masaya pa rin naman. Shane and Iya were running around and diving at people. Haha. And aww, I met si "Handsome." Haha. *sigh* He's so...so...well, he was...handsome. Duh. Haha.*cough*John!*cough*

Oh right, nung 24th, the Christmas Eve mass was at 7pm, kaya by 9pm we were already celebrating Christmas. Haha. Uber early, but uber fun! Jinx went gaga over the Tiu jersey (with a message from Mr. #17 himself) that Jo and I gave her for Christmas. And then we opened gifts and said a prayer for Lola. When the clock struck 12midnight, we sang "Happy Birthday" to Lolo and then nagsiuwian na. Haha. Yup, Christmas.

About 12 hours after uwian, everyone was back sa house for Christmas lunch! Yes, Umuwi sila nang 12mn, and by 12nn, nasa bahay na ulit sila. Haha. Our other cousins came na rin--the first-degree cousins of my dad, so that makes their kids my second-degree cousins because my grandfather is a brother of their grandmother. Ahaha. Gulo ba? Basta magpipinsan kami. Yun na yun. Haha. We had singing and dancing and Iya's Dewey Do It narrating, then phone calls and basketball payabangan *cough*Jo and Kuya Joe*cough*. Haha. Everyone--except Kuya Mitch, who was still belting out Westlife's "Swear It Again" on the karaoke at 6pm--went home at around 4pm to get ready to go to Los Baños for (yes, you guessed it!) yet another party. Christmas dinner naman. Haha.

December 26 was a rest day for the house. Napagod yung bahay eh, bagong renovate pa naman. Haha. Then December 27--yes, oh yes!--party ulit! Well, just sort of. The Ocampo cousins spent a day at Enchanted Kingdom. Whatta day! Haha. First ride--Dodgem. Then twice sa Roller Skater. Then Anchors Away (Uuy, sino umiyak?! Haha). Then Jungle Log Jam. Then the freakin' Space Shuttle na wala ako katabi! Hmph. Haha. No, we didn't get stuck in mid-air! Ha! Fun, fun, fun. Thank God kaunti lang tao. The boys, with Ate Lana and Tammy, went on the ATV and Go-Karts. Then we ate out at McDo. Then bumalik ng EK for another bunch of rides. Yay for Rialto! Pinaka-exciting ever. Featuring...*drum roll* SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS! Ahaha. It's kid-friendly--very. We also went on the Wheel of Fate. Then Rio Grande! Twice! And the first time, sakto ako ung nasa waterfalls. Sad. I was more worried of my phone and the camera than myself. Haha.

December 28 was rest day again.

Then yesterday...PARTY again! Haha. The Scho tropa came--Nike, Chem, Jam, Erika, Paola and Jessica. Fun, fun, fun. Ate Lana made this bubblegum drink that I liked very, very much. Haha. One, two...six...six-and-a-half glasses of bubblegum drink (which I soon found out was lambanog plus Sprite plus whatever else was in the kitchen). Yum! Hahaha. By the near-end of the party, I was very maingay na. I dunno if that's considered drunk, but yeah, I was maingay. Haha. Hmm...I don't think I was drunk yet pala. Kasi I told Kuya Joe to ask me anything, and naintindihan ko pa naman yung question nya and I didn't say anything only drunk people say eh. So yeah, I wasn't lasing yet...I think. Haha.

Aah. Today, rest day again. Well, I'm actually starting on homeworks. Kasi I bet tomorrow, New Year's Eve, nandito na naman lahat. So party ulit! Ahahaha! Weeee! I like the holidays! *smiley-smiley*

I uploaded videos of our TMC-DR shift for those who want to know just how "toxic" it is in the delivery room. You'll be surprised. Haha.

Gawd, I luuuuuv DR shifts. :)

Just another day at TMC.

#1: The trrrrruck!

We were on our way to TMC. Suddently, a truck went CRRRAAASSH! on some rough, ugly area on the road. Scary.

Fides: Whoa. I saw my whole life pass before my eyes...

#2: Sedif toe--lost and found.

I wear those socks with a slot for each toe. Ung hiwalay one toe from another.

Fides: See, this is how you do proper gloving--on your foot! (I notice one slot doesn't have a toe in it.) Uh oh. I lost my pinky toe!!!

RLEmates: Hala, naku. Hanapin mo. Haha!

Fides: (I realize nasama yung toe ko sa fourth slot.) Nevermind. Found it! I'm good, I'm okay.

Hanni Manie goes to PE.

The PE prof for football was discussing something about ball trapping. We were in the middle of the field. Some dragonflies were flying around. Apparently, Hanni doesn't like tutubi.

Innah: Waaah! May tubi-tubi! Ayun o, tubi-tubi!

Gawd, I so need to detach myself from "Heroes." Seriously.

I was watching the "Heroes" Season 2 finale last night, and Nathan got shot--twice! Twice! Like, two effing times! I almost jumped out of my chair. Freakin' show. I luv luv luv Nathan pa naman. Whoever shot Nathan is gonna pay. *Rawr*

As with Noah Bennet, siyempre iniyakan ko na naman siya. Aww, shucks. Gimme a break. I'm freakin' too attached to the characters. Haha.

Well, I'm just affected by Nathan's death kasi I don't want Adrian (Pasdar, the guy who plays Nathan Petrelli, duh!) off the show. If he's off the show, who's gonna put up "Heroes" behind-the-scenes videos on YouTube?! Ano na papanoorin ko?! Haha.

No Nathan = No Adrian = No buckshotwon

Oh nooooooo!!! Haha.

But hey, let's celebrate! Sylar's back! I luuuuv the way he said, "Maya makes the best chilaquiles..." and "I'm back." Aah, only Zach Quinto can make those two lines sound so sexy. ;)

We're on a new shift! Yay! Done with Dagupan Health Center, so sa Tondo Gen na kami. Delivery room! Yes! Haha.

Anyway, headline news: "Hanni Manie Strikes Again!"

It was our first day at TMC DR, and when our C.I. asked which one of us wanted to accompany her at the delivery room, Innah volunteered. So kaming natira sa students' room, chillax lang--eating, studying Pedia, creating havoc, sleeping. Grabe, super tagal bumalik ni Innah, we were saying baka kinain na siya ng &*%^#*$ (go figure!) nung laboring mom. Ahahaha! Anyhoo, she finally returned sa students' room.

Claire: Nagpaanak ka, Innah?

Innah: Ah, hinde. Nanood ako nung paanak, pero yung sa baby lang.

Amp. Malamang baby lang yung mapapanood na pinapaanak, ano pa nga ba?! Haha. Kung may iba pang pinapaanak other than a baby, it'll definitely make the 6 o'clock news. Si Hanni talaga. Kaya mahal ka namin eh, Innah. Ahaha.

Peace, li'l sis.

P.S. Bati tayo, Innah. Pakisabi kay Kuya Pius luvs ko siya. And nasa dorm ako around 7pm pa kapag may duty, kaya 'wag siya maghintay nang maaga. Last Wednesday kasi ang aga niya eh, remember? Kawawa naman siya, nakatayo lang dun.Aww, ang sweet. So thoughtful talaga ni Pius! *kilig* Hahaha! ;)

(Oops. Walang magagalit! Haha! *ahem-ahem*)

Thank God it's Friday! Haha.

I'm so happy we don't have classes on Fridays--just PE. Fun, fun, fun PE! Weeee! Anyway, since there are no classes, I go home for the weekends. Before, my mom used to pick me up. Now, I commute going home. I don't really like going on the bus. Malas lagi ako eh, I get the sucky seatmates on the bus. Ugh. Haha. Anyhoo, luckily last Friday, I didn't have a seatmate. So the ride went on. When we were somewhere near the highway, may mga bahay-bahay sa sides ng road and some kids were playing there. Our bus slowed down kasi may traffic light. And I looked out of the window and watched the kids playing. One of the kids, a little girl aged about 6 or 7, was looking at the bus. She saw me looking at her. I smiled. She smiled back. It brightened my day.

Haha. Ang cute. Wala lang, share ko lang. XP
