the start of my Merriest Christmas

The call of the day had brought me to exhaustion and boredom. I’ve been staying home for 3 months now and I felt like a chicken being roasted inside the oven. I want to cool-down from being roasted. I want to set free from the heated oven.

My cousin attended their prom night from 4pm-9pm, at Quality Beach Resort. My aunt and uncle had gone with her because it’s too far from our flat. I, together with the house maid and my grandmother, was left. My mind couldn’t think of anything to do aside from going out the house and loiter around the Cotta Shrine. I don’t know why, but my heart wants me to get there even though my body doesn’t want to.

I then walked at the shrine, thought of things much but didn’t know exactly what I was thinking. I was confused, yet continued thinking of fuzzy things. I walked and walked, looking at the people wearing the uniform I had once worn.

The Christmas lights hang and set everywhere made my eyes twinkle and my spirit lifted. Now, this place is the romantic place in town, because of the yellow-lighted background. I crossed the brick ground, raised my head and saw a familiar figure; a tall, clumsy girl walking towards my direction. I was delighted, it’s my friend Mahalia! After her was the lovely figure of a girl that I am longing to see, that I missed the most, my mommy Chelou! She swung my arms again and again, hold it tight. I was very happy, I smiled, I had nothing to do, I lost my words. Tita Dandie was with them too, I haven’t seen him for 3 months and I guess his taller than he was before…

Everything seemed so warm, so comfortable, though the place was crowded with unknown species. Ate mommy chelou and I talked, she talked a lot, and I miss her talking. I’m glad she did. She told me things about her favorite topic (which is very exciting and controversial), how things are going between the two of them and how she had “moved on.” Though she always, always says that she doesn’t want to talk about it anymore, the truth is she always, always does. =) there’s a constant spark and excitement if she’ll talk about that. Her eyes glitter like Christmas lights twinkling at the background. Her laughter made me laugh. Her smile is fantastic that I could even dream of it. She’s always lovely as ever and it makes me miss her more.

I could sense that this Christmas will be the merriest Christmas that I’d ever had. Knowing that I have a mommy like her and a friend like them, I could not ask for more but a time to spend it with them.
