It's another ordinary day in my life... full of laughter, surrounded by family...I went to Future Shop today and bought a Yamaha keyboard... well, daddy paid for it, so I guess HE bought it, I just went along with him. Boy was it FULL of people! I guess Boxing day is meant for shopping? But is it the stuff that u need? not really!
I went tobogganing on Christmas Eve with my friend, Fifi... at Milliken Park... it was sooo much fun... I actually forgot about my fear of heights until it came time to take off. Then I started screaming in Fifi's ears... ^.^
Goin down was a breeze, but going back up was a torture... the snow was too hard and the ride was so bumpy! So I had to sacrifice my knees instead of my ass or tummy (couldn't bend my knees the next day...hurt like hell). Fifi was at the front cuz I was such a chicken, and on our last ride down the hill, she lost her balance or sumthin and flew off the board. Stupid me wasn't fast enuff to catch her *so sorry Fiiii* so the board went sideways to and hit a chunk of snow and I almost flew off too. fifi got some scratches on her tummy, and that was when we finally decided to go home. This little girl also had an accident, she hit her face on the hard snow... her dad took her home right away.
Oh, there was dog poo on the snow! ewwww, gross! why can't people pick up after their dogs' mess? sick! So I almost lost my voice from screaming too much and laughing too much... but thanks to honey and lemon, I'm very well now, I can still sing...yayyy!
So the next day, I had to work and my body ached all over... not to mention not being able to bend my knees... I slept like a corpse last night...
I went to a friend's blog today and there are links to all these other websites... so I checked out a few... and found one where this girl visited an orphanage in Indonesia... not sure where exactly... I saw some pics too! I wanted to cry just reading it... I wish there's something I can do to help all those poor kids... it's at times like this that I wish I have magic or special powers or sumthin'.
My aunt called, she was watching CNN and there was news about Indonesia. There was an earthquake in Sumatra, followed by a tidal wave or sumthin' like that... the worst part was, 10,000 people were killed! May God receive their souls. I was worried cuz my uncle and his wife n kids were visiting Palembang for Christmas, so I called my granma to make sure he was ok... it turned out that he was already in Batam or some other place... phew! thank God.
I know I'm supposed to be writing my "project" but I can't think of anything to write... my mind's just blank. I have a headache, maybe cuz I have this huge zit near my forehead! stupid! I feel sick... the sight of food makes me wanna puke... I think I've seen enuff food to last me a whole week. So I was just eating to keep myself alive today, n probably tomorrow as well. I LOVE food but not today, not right now. Yesterday I filled my tummy with JUNK... and all those junk food actually filled my tummy... I was so full that I wanted to puke...
ok, enuff food talk... I really wanna puke now...
Ok, so my Christmas was great... like usual, went to church, spent the evening with family and friends and all that jazz. I think people should focus more on the real meaning of Christmas... it's too secular nowadays. I wanna try spending Christmas in a really poor place, with no money to buy gifts and to receive any gifts... and just focus on making other people happy with what I can offer... I wanna get away from all this crap and actually do something for others less fortunate than me. Chritsmas is NOT about buying presents... yet we worry so much about buying presents...
I don't really care if I get any or not, as long as other people are happy, I'm content. I actually feel much better when the people whom I give gifts to can't give me anything in return; that means it's worthwhile...that I've given to someone who really needs to receive. Why can't Christmas be less materials... it's frustrating!
I think I really need to shut up now... got snow to shovel... *sigh*
