The 18 Days

The 18 Days

December 18, 2014. My most very awaited day. Because it is the first day of Christmas break, it will be the day wherein no lecturettes, no exams but day to start fun!

                                        Mr.  Solon, our school principal, declared that it will be the day for everyone in the school will have their parties and such (no works, no classes) as for our section, Aguinaldo, have an advance Christmas party held at our classroom. I usually don’t like parties but to be at home, lying at the bed is my interest and hobby to do so because I am not a party girl for real. But because it will be the last Christmas party I may encounter in my high school life, I considered myself to enjoy the day.

                                     After the party, my friends and I had an idea to off to town. We pass by and even stop by on some malls, only to do window shopping because like some teenagers, love to do that! Unfortunately, our tummies need to take a break, so we drop by on My Crib; we bought three drinks and two snacks to full ourselves at the same time, to have a happy meal. After the chitchats and all, we decided to go to our homes already.

December 19, 2014.

                                    The day of nowhere to go, I stayed at home all day long while something came up with my mind. I browsed the net, entered YouTube and searched for something I can watch. Well, it is very hard to find one, besides I am that choosy, of course! Who would like to force yourself to something you don’t like? So, it took me hours to find one and I ended up with Park Shin Hye‘s movies, one of my favorite Korean actress. Some of her movies I already finished to watch, Pinocchio, an unfamiliar movie, it wondered myself what is it all about it and so it caught my interest. Even though, I know I can’t make through until the end and yes, I was still at episode 6 because it took me an hour to finish one episode. Until I felt tired, and all I know was, my Marathon All-Day is a happy past-time.

December 20, 2014.

                                   I was bothered with a thought of going or not. My group mates, the Team Pangit, made a day for our outing. First of all, I still need my parent’s permission. Second, what food should I bring? Third, it will be my first time to be with them. Last thought, I am lazy but wanted to go! But because I got a yes to my parents, I must go. I brought, Bodidoy’s Chicken, a very affordable that only costs 100php but can trick by its flavorful taste! After all my bothering thoughts, it was very a good decision of being there because meeting them was so enjoyable! All I can say, that day was a one of a fun, though I got a rashes.

December 21, 2014.

                                 Our precious princess, Merry Elina is having her third birthday. I still remember the days way back then; a little girl was born weighs only for 4kg and having hard time in a heart failure and was lying in an incubator after the deliver. But thanks to God! Because she is now a healthy and bubbly baby girl and it was one of the greatest things we had in our life. And for our gratitude, the first spot we go to is the, Fort Pilar and we had our prayers.

                                  Merry Elina is a blessing to us and our happiness. She talks a lot, makes us laugh and makes everybody jolly. Talking about jolly, there is a fast food chain in town which every kid loves to go to the very known, Jollibee. It was the place where we did celebrated Merry Elina’s birthday, the second place we’ve gone to. And the rest of the hours, we spend it at home and continued our family bonding.

December 22, 2014

                              Another day to start with! I started with my morning rituals and do some household chores. It was a job well done after all and of course I need to take my rest already. But doing nothing was one of the bored-est thing to do, isn’t it? Later on, my sister Miles Enel, wanted me to join with her. And because of being boring, I accompanied with her and plus the cutie Merry Elina wanted to play also, I think it will be a Play Day for us three?  We all did was to play online games and all I can say it was one of a burning butt! Imagine, hours sitting infront of the monitor?! But I don’t know how Miles can still sit there longer. The eyes of Merry were sleepy as like as mine and from our looks, we are like a tardy zombie.  Mom told me so, I must bring the baby to the crib and also, I’ve decided to take my eyes a nap. But when I woke up, guess what? It’s already 10 in the morning. Okay, great!

December 23, 2014.

                             It was noisy around when I woke up and it is because the television is on. I saw ate An with my two sister watching attentively and also laughing around. They didn’t know how irritable for a morning person bothered in waking up! But because the only thing I can do, is to deal with it. I brushed my teeth and washed my face. Even I didn’t peek to the TV’s monitor, I know they are watching Ryzza Mae Show.

                          Without noticing we spent hours on watching and I found myself addicted in our so-called TV Marathon. And when I realized, I still didn’t take a bath. Funny thoughts filled my mind, and remembering how gross, I was that time! What a funny throwback it is.
December 24, 2014.

                            One of the busiest day we had. I am not the cook of the family, it was my parents. But as the oldest daughter of the family, it is my responsibility to help and assist them, for the work will finish immediately.  In every occasion we have our own assigned task where everybody is working. Like me, I am always assigned in separating the wrappers and in slicing cheese into strips, the main ingredients needed for the Lumpia making. I also do the dishes at the kitchen sink and all things about cleaning mess and dirt. After setting up all the needed things and such cleaning, I also do babysitting, especially when the nanny of Merry, is very busy in doing things. Yes, It was very tiring but doing it was worth at all!

December 25, 2014.  

                              A very special day, to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and most of all are Catholic people were the one who celebrates. This is also the day where you can find love, overload happiness, and the day where family bonds. As like our family do in Christmas time!

                             The food preparation we did yesterday was a success. Seeing the visitors having a happy meal and having a great time in the party this day, makes ourselves so happy too! Because of all our hardworks, it made someone happy and it is because of the efforts we did. Also, it is one of the greatest things we did!

                            Unconsciously, the party ended up in the morning. The house is still look a house but our visitors were drunk and some look so wasted already, they really enjoyed our prepared party huh? and with the happy thought made a curve on my lips. This was one of a successful party we had and so I realized, I love parties.

December 26, 2014.

                              It was said to be a serious day where the decisions will be made and the rest to happen depends on how and where the Talk will go any further. I may consider it, as a fragile one but I must also be concerned with the situation and to be aware on what’s happening in my surrounding, right?

                             The talk was all about the pregnancy of ate An, the nanny of Merry. And besides, with things like that doesn’t really matters me at all. As much as I know, they made love so it means they were already prepared in what would they be facing afterwards. But then, that day I just realized that let your brain rule your heart because not all things end with a happy ending. First thing is to think!

December 27, 2014.

                            It was one of the very hot days and I was playing a virtual game on the laptop that time. I am having fun giving myself on the picture a totally makeover. Like choosing my so-alike hairstyle of an Hollywood artist, putting foundation, blush on, eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara, lipstick or lip gloss and even change its color to be more fashionable! After beautifying myself on the picture, I checked the time and it was already five in the afternoon. so, I really enjoy the play?

                            As the saying goes by, “Expect the Unexpected” and so I was. Because my dearest friend named Sheejay called me that today is the Grand Alumni and it will start 6PM. In no time, I dialed my mom’s number to tell about it and lucky me, I got a yes from her! And when I reached the place already, I saw my former classmates and seen how they‘ve changed a lot since our grade school times. Taking groufies made my night and Paolo Onesa and of course, them!

December 28, 2014.

                               I was reading my inbox when I read about the Term Paper, our project in English. I did panic because thinking of the left days before the submission makes me worry a lot. The deadline is already at first week of February. And the other teachers wanted to add their subject too! In a short period of time was given to us to accomplish the task? How can it be possible? Like, DUH! I am not Rainbow dash, Flash or even a super girl to do multi task in one gasp. Yet I still didn’t have finished anything and even started! I just don’t know what to do...

                              But there’s nothing I can do but to make my first move to answer my problem. I searched my drafts and my guideline notes to get started. I found myself sitting already infront of the desktop, starting my Term Paper. Saddest thing was, my notes were incomplete, I have no idea about the measurements of it, that’s why I backed off already with the idea in making.

December 29, 2014.

                             I must finish my Term Paper but procrastination swallows my mind and body. Besides of that, me and mom will go the clinic for today’s check up and the deadline is still be at February, so maybe, I will still have time and I will just accomplish the things first on what I can do for today?

                           It was one of my most embarrassing day! Because I am already sixteen yet I am going to have a check up on a pediatrist, all were babies and young ones except for me. But I left no choice but to follow what mom says and I just think, it is also for my own good. And the rest was history.

December 30, 2014
                           The result was bad and so I need to take some medications to heal myself the soonest. As what Dr. Balido said that my both ears were impacted by waxes. Well it is normal for a person to have ear waxes but I produce a lot of it so it may cause hearing impaired. For an early solution, I need to take the medicines as early as, even it is still on the minor stage. For thirty minutes I must stay in one position for the liquid will not be poured out and it needed to take one at a time. In taking the medicine inside my ears makes me not hear anything and it was one of my nightmares! Good thing was, I have stories stored in my phone to ease somehow my boredness.

                               And before I got some sleep, I call and greeted the birthday celebrant, one of my best friends, Edralyn, wishing her an advance sweet sixteen birthday!

December 31, 2014.

                              It is also a busy day. Seeing how food preparations been done before the new year come. This is how our family celebrates. Like as of my parents, they are advance doers; they do things first for them not to have hard time on worrying catching up with time and not to reach the panic line. Seeing my parents really hard working is nicest things too see. Hard work last time, still hard work today and surely success for the nth time!

                               You know what? Mommy Marlene, loves to cook but doesn’t like to eat what she cooked but seeing other people happy tasting her dish feels her complete already. While Daddy Michael, also do cooking but he likes inviting others to come and enjoy the party, that’s how friendly he is.

                              Let me introduce you my two little sisters, Miles Enel and Merry Elina. The middle child of the family is fond of gadgets and staying in one place where no one must interrupt her but she loves struggling other people and she is so that weird, you know? She is Miles. The youngest child of the family is Merry Elina, the bubbliest and the noisiest slash bossiest too, you know how kids are; too blunt, innocent to be true and so that honest. I am Mica Ella the oldest daughter of the family and wishing all a good health and a happy life.

January 01, 2015.

                      Everyone is excited for the New Year to come! Who wouldn’t? Well it’s a matter of choice, but for a tradition, New Year means new living where changing bad habits to good deeds!

                     Foods here, Drinks there, People having fun everywhere. As like as we ended the fun, four in the morning and woke up ten in the morning, a totally hangover! But we still tried to be presentable and because it is the year to start with an overload happiness not lazy madness.

                     Our first stop is at Baliwasan, Reyes’ residence. We were just only there to give tita Jackie and her children a present (bag full of clothes and such) But ate Perlette’s mom, the owner of the house, insisted to join them at the dining area to eat there, and for them not to feel down, mom and I agreed. After then, we also go Saavedra’s residence at Tumaga, where dad and my two little sisters waiting us. Another bunch of foods I’d eaten and I even received 300php from my ninang there. Also we visited at Tetuan, Salappudin’s residence. We always go there because we are like a family already! Well, we watched movies and also have snacks.

                    And it was already past ten in the evening we got home. This is one of the happiest memory it can be. My tummy enjoy the day as well as me.

January 02, 2015.

                       Yesterday, we had a noisy and wildest day! and today is fridate! A sisterly love bonding time with ate Kristel. We go to different malls, bought a dress for ate Pipi, recharge ourselves at Jollibee, bought three knickknacks, one choco drink, calamansi juice at the grocery, Icecapades at Southway, and two big yummy breads!

                         In the evening, we had visitors with same faces and they had a small drink. You know what? I was so happy that moment because my crush is there—Nestor! Watching and seeing him all that matters but maybe because I was so good daughter this year, I had a chance to talk to him!! Well, this is another seized day that is worth remembering!

January 03, 2015.

                       The day all about panicking! I am getting so nervous on thinking about things and many what if’s troubles my mind and the school day is merely approaching! And I am not even excited!! The deadlines of the projects already scaring me and who is in the right mind would still like to go, do anyone?

                      Well, I did all the posssible things I can do but my bad! I can’t publish yet my blog because of no internet. And I was like, “why now Globe? You are no help!” I want to cry, to shout! Because I do really care about the grades I will get, it really means my life. But there’s really nothing I can do about it, but to wait. I am hoping the internet will be fixed soon as possible. And maybe because I have so many things in my mind, I fell asleep.

January 04, 2015.
                        12AM to 01:30AM, Thanks to my long-distanced best friend which is currently at Manila, he ask me to call me and because I should also have someone to talk to, I gladly accepted it. Somehow, I felt relieved and forgot my problems in the mean time. By the way he is Mosses, my ever-since crush.
                       8AM, I woke up with a happy smile. Morning rituals, household chores are my mostly like doings in my everyday life. Later on, dad prepared a very delicious fish and so we had a happy lunch because we ate all together. One of the happy lunch we had!

                      I don’t how time flew so fast until it was already 4:30PM! But then I am happy even though there is still no internet! But at least I have already finished the draft of my blog. And I better prepare my school supplies and such. After that, I will read some of my notes in the evening and if I finish it early, I will cherish the left hours on the last day of, The 18 Days!
