Nothing’s New, Year 2008

Posted on January 2, 2008 at 14:32 Down the Drain 10 Comments

New year’s eve was fine. Yes, fine. It was not that fun, but not as boring as Christmas either. At dinner the family that rents the house behind us came and there was also my cousin Lalay and her mama, Tiya Balena. Their ‘little’ presence was already enough to make me, myself, and I happy. It was already almost midnight when the mass ended. I was very delighted that those fireworks that are shot up the sky and scatter in colors are somewhat becoming a fad of the town. I had to take videos. At home, I lit some too — kwitis and rapid fires. One chased my cousin; it was not able to fly high. Everything would’ve been perfect if it weren’t for my father and brother getting drunk (as if I’m not used to it) and my ulcer attacking again. For the new year, still, we got no family picture. 🙁

Drafting this entry in my sisters' room…

On New Year’s Day, I felt weak and my teeth felt different. You know, one does it all. It’s basically because of the molar tooth that was extracted last December 30. Initially, it was supposed to be pasta in my front tooth alone. But I turned out having my teeth cleaned and extracted too. Things were smooth — including the anesthesia — until the start of the last procedure. The tooth was found to be abnormal(?). I could hear the ‘cracks’ everytime the dentist screws it. And the usage of those pliers-like thingy really hurt. My face was pulled hard sideways. Anesthesia should have been there too. :tongue:

Dentist: Whoa, feels like I’m extracting a carabao’s tooth. 😆 What’s my sin to you that you’re punishing me like this? :pirate:

I expect that nothing will be new this year. Pessimistic, huh? I heard from a classmate that Dragons are lucky (on business) this year (of the Rat) though. I hope it’s true. :cheerful: 2007’s a year to be remembered, I’d say. Goodbye. Happy NY everyone!

PBB Celebrity Edition 2: Oh my God! What the fuck! *covers mouth* -Jon Avila. This season’s housemates sure are lucky. I mean, if you’re on the material side. See, Big Brother gave all the things they wished. Baron, Jon, and Will got laptops, Mariel and Gabby SONY flatscreen TV’s, and Riza a keyboard (organ). Only one word resides in my head with all these — ENVY. 😯

Spring Waltz: This is the new Koreanovela in ABS-CBN. Sadly, the story’s pretty much the same with the rest of them: a poor [2008-01-08 11:29] girl meets a rich boy and they live happily ever after. In this story, it also happens that they’re childhood friends that got separated. Tell me, do things like these really happen in real life? Nah, but mind you, the theme song “One Love” by Acel Bisa is really something for my eardrums. :crush:

Coffee Prince: GMA will start airing this Koreanovela next year (that’s a few days from now!). I’ve heard of a movie that has the same story as this one — a girl disguises as a boy for some reason and the boy wouldn’t know until the later part. Again, I think this is way too impossible to happen in the actual setting. Nevertheless, I think that it’s still worth watching.

(Scene: Boy kisses Boy)
Boy: Alam mo bang first kiss ko ‘yun.. (That was my first kiss..)
Boy: First kiss ko rin ‘yun noh…sa lalake. (That was my first kiss too…to a guy.) 😆

Slam Dunk: Yesterday’s episode was the last. Or is it? Shohoku beat the team composed of Shoyo and Ryonan players in their practice game. It was the episode in which they are about to leave for the Inter-High Competition. I have no idea if there are subsequent episodes. At the animé’s peak before, it was the last one. And I also heard that the author of the series already died.
