christmas and the day after

christmas day has come and gone. what happened pretty much happens every year. after breakfast with the foodstuffs we ate during our early noche buena, we went to church then went to city mall where daddy bought new clothes. karen and i were also able to buy new pants on discount. however, rj was no longer feeling well that time.

with the car's door mistakenly closed on him when we were about to leave the church, he was in a bad mood that lasted almost the whole afternoon.

when we got home, we opened the gifts under the christmas tree. rj didn't open his due to the previous incident. the rest of us, however, did open our gifts and got our pictures taken (a yearly ritual that goes back for as long as i can remember). i got some new socks and undies from santa clause. then we were also given a ping pong set. sadly however, i was no longer able to make a christmas card.

after not being able to finish laputa: castle in the sky due to a corrupted second disc (laputa is like atlantis up in the clouds with way advanced technology and treasures of its own, albeit a declining or almost non-existent populace - i wouldn't know since i didn't get to finish it), i went outside and rj was shooting some hoops. mom, dad, rj & kevin were sitting on the chairs eating and reading. then i joined him in shooting and he's already improved. eventually, the four of us were shooting already. we played 2 rounds; in the first one, karen won and in the next one, i won. it was really a delight since kevin is the best shooter among us and we thought we'd be toasted by him but unexpectedly, karen and i did well.Ü

afterwards, we played a game of two-on-two with karen and i teaming up and the two boys on their own, coming to that arrangement by way of the old-fashioned ompiang. we had a race to six points but it took us a very long time. nevertheless, it was a great exercise and we lost a good amount of sweat. we were also having great fun and it was a good way for the four of us to spend time together. we were playing until before 7. then at 7:30 pm, rj, karen and i watched finding nemo. i was able to watch this before on pirated vcd but i didn't enjoy it much then. but now, it was really funny and it's a really great animation. i love it! it's now on my favorite movies list.

after that, we proceeded to watch national treasure. they've been clamoring for it so my mom bought a pirated copy. however, when we put in the first disc, what was showing was blade iii: trinity so we just watched it since mom also bought a copy of that one along with the polar express. i, however, due to lack of sleep or whatever slept not yet midway into the first disc. so it came to pass that i haven't laid my eyes on a complete blade film yet. not the first, nor the second which mom also bought a copy, and not the third, too. something must be wrong with the film. so i slept early last night. it was 11 pm when i went to bed. and then i woke up a bit cold and early this morning.

we had a breakfast of pancit and bread. then we went to church once more. and dropped by nepo mall coz mommy said they were going to buy gizzards. and i asked them to buy some chichirya too.
