Its 12:12 AM. Christmas day 2015 has officially come and gone.
Let me give you a recap of my day, I woke up at 7 AM to cook breakfast more like, help my dad cook this filipino delicacy called champorado its sticky rice mixed with cocoa powder and sugar, accompanied with Tuyo, another filipino delicacy which frankly, is one of those fish I would NEVER eat again because it stinks like crap! Anyway, the champorado turned out to be someone dry soo no one ate it because dad was the only one who liked it. Thus arose another argument between my mom and dad about alzheimers and the past. *sigh* We’ve learned to tune in out. Anyway, then I made dessert. Its called “Cathedral” its basically just gelatin all over. But the base gelatin on which the gelatin squares would set is flavored and infused with lychee syrup and nestle cream. Then I went to sleep!! *best part of the day* I woke up 2 hours after,but I hadnt heard my uncle had arrived and his 2 sons were there too! My mom and uncle (brothers and sisters) talked about my dad’s incompetencies *haay* and then they left. I was soo ready to take my siesta, but then mom asked me to come with her to go shopping… It took us 3 hours before we went home. We bought gifts, we argued about what we should buy, just typical mother daughter relationship I guess? Anyway, then we arrived home, I fed my 2 dogs then fixed the dining room, my brotther cleaned the dishes. Then we went to bed.
Overall, my day went pretty boring despite it being the holidays. Dissappointed, I surely am. Because I wanted to go out of the country but despite everything, I focus on the part that we were still blessed enough to able to buy food and gifts. The material things should come second, and the thankfulness we always have to feel to our savior should come first.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR SAVIOR, Jesus Christ! Thank you for the blessing and love and the lessons!
Looking forward to Christmas 2016? Yes or no?
