Okay , today is the start of my two week vacay . Finally , no school , no teachers , no divas , no homework , no stress . Sadly , there's also not going to be my friends , our jokes , our laughter , our laziness . But who says we can't plan to meet up , right ?
I slept at 2 a.m. . Now it's 11 a.m. . Why did nobody wake me up ? Ugh . That's typical of my family . I grab my face cleanser , run to the bathroom and start blowing snot . Gosh , I had to have a flu now . I brush my teeth , wash my face and popped some pimples . I love popping 'em .
As I head downstairs I hear my dad laughing to some Korean drama . Hmm , I guess he didn't go to work today . I saw that all of my family members were in the living room , except for my sister who's at Korea for a trip . My mum sleeping , my 2 and a half year old sister bothering her , my 14 year old brother watching t.v and my dad sitting on a couch watching t.v too .
I went to the kitchen to find food on the table . How sad , I skipped breakfast . I was planning to wake up at 7 but that didn't happen . I ate lunch , grabbed my phone upstairs and head downstairs to join them watch t.v .
"Mum, are we not going to KDCA?" I whispered to her knowing she can hear me.
"It's a public holiday today , you're dad didn't go to work so we're not going either . Maybe next time . "
Bummer . I was excited to go to the celebration event . KDCA is a hall by the way . It's where they celebrate Kaamatan . A cultural tradition . I was also eager to meet my friend , Shawn . Guess that's going to wait .
It's now 12 p.m. and I have nothing better to do then to watch t.v .
Mum went downstairs from her bedroom and looked at me . She just finished showering .
"What?" I asked her .
"It's just weird looking at you watch television . You never watch television ."
She's right though . I never watch television . All I did was stay in my bedroom and read books or listen to some songs then shower and eat and then sleep . I guess its unordinary for me to watch television . All I answered was "yeah."
"Are you not going with us?" Mum asked .
"To where exactly?"
"Makan sinalau bakas"
That means to got eat some grilled pork . The place is very far away ."You guys are heading out just to eat that? No way." I was astonished .
Again , mum gave me a snark remark "You really don't like getting out of the house do you?" And again she was right .
I really didn't like going somewhere just to do one thing . It's a waste of time , energy and fuel . But in the end I did join them because I had nothing better to do at home .
We left the house at 2.30 p.m. . My brother and I wore matching outfits . It was pretty hilarious . I wore a black knee length wool skirl and a black with white stripes t-shirt while he wore a white with black tropical trees shirt and black pants . I wore white shoes while he wore black ones . I still find it funny .
We arrived at the tiny restaurant at 3.30 p.m. And started eating . The food was as always damn delicious .
On the way back home we stopped at a gas station since I begged my dad . I went inside the gas shop and bought ice cream . 6 to be exact . We finished all the ice cream as we reached home .
I already took my bath and went to grab my phone from where I was charging it . I ask my friends to send me some songs and I went to eat dinner .
As I lay on my bed with all the lights turned off, I began wondering . When will my life ever be exciting ?
