Day 12 & 13

I went to ilocus sur to see my mom’s side of the family. My mom spend all her money on acessories, bags, facials, hair treatments and lots of lots of lots of papaya soaps belos, etc. From this, she didnt have enough money for the ride to ilocus so she cried. -.-” thats just how she begged. So my dad gave her 200 dollars and my aunt from seattle send 350. I am carrrying the 200 dollars from my dad so my mom dont get carried away. What can i say I LOVE ILOCUS! its not as hot as zambales. We have spending the night at my lolas house. OMG its so nice! I would love to live there but the ilocano accent and speaking is so aggresive. it gave me a headache. When we were visited every houses my cousin had a motorcycle and it was auto. I tried it. It was pretty fun but the handling was hard. and then i tried the trycycle motors and it was manual. It was hard to start so i let my cousin do it. My cousin is 15 years old and he drives. its pretty crazy. So when i tried to start it the thing recoiled and hurted my ankle. my skin got scraped and i was kinda paralyzed for a while. All of my cousins that were with me got worried but I told them i was fined when really i wasnt. They told my mom i was hurt but then I held in it. after that I when shopping. It wasnt really a shopping mall i was like… compared to king plaza. I bought conditioner for my hair and red wine for my cousin. AAAAAAAnd we went home. The next day, We had setted up the house for a prayer session. omg… the prayer was sooo long. abd it was in ilocano, they speak really fast that i couldnt understand. AND OH YEAH! the family keeps asking about you and my mom told me to see your house.I told everybody your last name and they did a search. THey started asking capit bahays to ask where your house we located or where are you known. All i know is that we past your baragay. On the way to ilocus… the driver is CRAZY! overtaking is normal. I hate it. I seemed like my life is at stake. and we roadkilled a cat? or dog? idk… but that kinda scared me. Right now, im in bagiuio, and im current typing this on the road in the trunk of the van. Were on our way to SM

Day 10

Today includes me of course. :) my mom, my auntie, her daughter, my guy cousins, tj and Paula. I don’t know why I am waking up early, its weird! I got ready for the outing. When i was doing my make up, my mom told me to get extra clothes because were not going home. So me mom tj and von von (little cousin “ading”) headed out. We went Olongapo City and met with Auntie and her daughter After that we waited for Paula’s mom, auntie Emma. My mom got mad at paulas mom because my mom doesnt like waiting and so i got mad at her. We were fighting on the streets and we made a scene after that we walked to where my dad was at, the bowling place. My dad knew i was pissed and i told him off. Really babe, I really didnt like my mom acting like, I just think that all the money made her like that. We spend almost 10,000 dollars here and counting. After meeting with dad we went to the hotel that were staying in (Venezia Hotel) its a 5 five hotel too. I LIKE! there is a little casino down stairs and of course all the adults left us kids in the room while they play. When they came back my mom won 3,000! lol omg. after that we ate. After that My mom wanted a facebook, so i made her one, ever since my dad had facebook my mom got jealous because she thought that dad is flirting online. I showed her facebook, how to use it… yadadadadada. and then when it was time to upload a picture my aunt helped out my mom takes pictures so i told my mom to put make up and fix her hair and she laughed and called me bastos. but she did anyways? She also said that through facebook she is gonna use it to find a MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! T.T after setting up her fb. I showed her the apps, like farmville, cafe, etc. but instead of all those i searched up slots since she likes to gamble… she played! and every time she won (which was like 12 times?) she would get REALLY EXCITED! after that, i logged in my fb and all the adults wanted to see my pictures- My aunt wanted to know what you looked like so i showed her. My concern was that since I was just clicking next and i didnt know what pictures was gonna show up, i was worried that i might have a picture that was inapropiate, but the only inapropiate picture was when jessica was griding up on darwin. after that…all the adults got ready and went downstairs for another round of gambling and all the kids are gonna sleep. SOOO im going to sleep now good night i love you! ii miss you! kiss you! goodnight!

PS: I UPLOADED ALL THE PICTURE FROM DAY ONE (facebook album “family Trip”)

Day 8

Happy Birthday to one of my aunt, her name is Felly. It was about 4 am when I woke up from noises coming from outside. I walk to the balcony to see what was making the noises. I saw 2 cats fighting head to head. meowing angrily at each other. I watched to see if which cat would win but then my moms little assistant helper smacked both of the cats lol! but that did stop the fight so the assistant threw a rock. hahahah- i went back to sleep after that.

I woke up around 9am because the plan for today was to go swimming with everybody. First thing that popped on my mind was “i need a tampon” so i went to the store to get some and they didnt even have any.. NONE OF THE STORES HAD TAMPONS. but I swam anyways because my period kinda stopped. Dnt worrry i didnt leak in the pool. I wore my one piece sports swimming suit. I did 7 laps back and forth  i stopped after that because i had a bad cramp in my leg when i was in the middle of the deep end. After that i just stayed in safe end because I was too scared that it might happen again. I just got home. I took a shower and mano my aunts and uncles and now i am here typing my blog. My nose is sunburn. its red too. its gonna peel soon. I love you :)

Day 7 :(

Today is the day I had my party. The prep started at 7am and I didnt wake up till 9am. When I woke up I went downstairs and got ready. I needed a straightener since me nor my mother didn’t brung one. When the party started the whole neighborhood came and i didnt know any of them. The priest that marriaged my parents came… and alot of kids. THEY ARE SO ANNOYING! OMG. I CANT STAND IT! my aunt had set up a fondue pot with marshmallows and apples and the kids couldnt help it so they tried it out. they made a HUGE mess.

events:

-My mom scooped a piece of my cake and i didnt even blow the candles yet.

-it was too hot. and i wanted a night party

-I was wearing my contacts and fake lashes and all my aunt wanted to try it, but they said it was too expensive.

-I have a fat cousin that is hella taller then me and he weighs about 2xx? he plays basketball and he game was today. I told him that for every shot he makes he gets 100 pesos but he didnt get none. All he got was a foul because of his belly getting in the way. and also I lost my voice because of yelling and its worth it

-I realize that I have alot of cousins here. alot.

-Since I kinda felt down and mad today. I decided to take my anger out on my cousins. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO when I was cutting my cake ( I WAS NOT IN THE MOOD AND MY MOM WAS GETTTING PISSED) I took a hand full of icing and slapped it on my oldest cousin, joyce. Luckily she didnt slap me back she slapped another cousin and then a cake fight began. That made my day better.

Christmas Day 2009

I did not expect what came this holiday. It really did not feel like Christmas to me. I am trying my best to keep my spirit up, but I do not know anymore. Why do i feel angry, hopeless, and such. It is such a burden to me at times. I feel old. I feel nothing out of the family today, just a facade of joy. I’m looking for something, idk what is it, but I’ll wait for it. And even though i feel like this, it doesn’t mean i lost love to my ones… Its just a time where everything doesn’t feel right.

S0o cold.

Even though i feel cold, some things get me heated. The Winter is starting to depress me, seriously. I know the fact that it was overwhelming hot during the summer, then of course it would be very cold in the winter… oh snaps… Global warming. I just hope that we don’t have an ice age this year… And I am still hoping for the better.
