i wasn't home for Christmas but i was there the day after Christmas.. no fast craft available on christmas day so i have no choice but to take the ferry boat at 10pm. arrived at ormoc around 3:30am. fatherdear picked me up. was welcomed warmly by bree (our puppy whom i haven't met). like i always do everytime i get home. i turned the television on. check what's on the fridge. take whatever is edible and then back to television. everyone is still asleep. so i stayed there until i doze off at our living room. (this has become my habit everytime i come back home from cebu). had chorizo for breakfast. YUM! then father asked me if i wanna see his new fish pond. of course! so we went there.. here's a picture..
he said its the thing that keeps him busy. it was fun to see him happy with what he got. in order for us to get there we have to ride this canoe.. cool eh? ;) manoy ruben said its really deep.. we got there and my father showed me the little fishes he's trying to grow.. and the king crabs - too bad we can't see them because they only go out at night. he said i should come back during harvest time on april or may. im looking forward to it... hopefully i can come back home even for just 2 days.. i want to fill my stomach with nothing else but seafood when i get back this summer.. king crabs, lobsters, shells, scallops, squid, fish, prawns... i am missing you so bad already.
after a visit to the fish pond we hurried back home because mother would be mad if we won't be back by 7:30 coz she has to open the pharmacy at 8am. then i went out to watch my batch mates play volleyball. we won the batch league of course. :) my batch has always been the best volleyball players.. im the scorer. as always. i dont play. im afraid of balls or anything that's bouncing. because there was a time (during my elementary years) when i was hit so hard in the head by a ball that i teared up non stop. ever since then i stopped playing that game.
after the game my sister picked me up and we had lunch at my cousin's place. they prepared some grilled pork. it was so yummy. then we had karaoke.. i sang. lol.. ;) then i gave my present to my nephews. i got them Twister. i was gonna get them some walkie-talkies to match my sister's gift (water guns) but they run out of stock.
then went back to the store and learned how to use the cash register. (i dont think i remember how to use it) visited the riverside mall. younger sister looked for a white blouse. we separated. i forgot that i left my phone at the pharmacy. it took us 2 hours to run into each other. boy was i happy to see her. home by 9pm. had dinner. opened a sparkling drink. closest thing to wine for us.. a toast to a great 2011 and an even greater 2012. gave them presents. everyone was happy with what i got them. white pants for mother, cool ballet flats for younger sister (she's got a love affair with shoes), jacket for father. prepared for the alumni homecoming party. we were so late. it started at 9pm but we got there at 10:30pm. i was surprised by the turn out of the party despite the heavy rain many were able to come. we were late so they didn't ask us for the fee. :) it was a fun white party. here's a glimpse.
went home around 1:30 in the morning. dropped sheena c.(the girl beside me) at her place. just like the old times.
woke up late the next morning. by mid afternoon i went back to the city to watch over our store. attended to some customers. military men came over. bought a couple of things. tried to ask my number. didn't give it. i told them if they come back i'd give my number. (i was kidding. i know the next day i'll be off to cebu) but they still bought me and my sister ice cream. the next morning one guy came back. i hid in the ladies room. lol..
at around 8pm i attended high school reunion - black light party. any party spent with them is awesome. so yeah.. here's a video.

gale, doing my body art ;)
with yoyen and mario. she's got the best moves when she's had more than enough to drink.. lol... :)
father picked me up at 1am. went to the city to test whether if i still know how to drive or not. i drove us back home. i haven't been on the wheel for quite some time. glad i didn't forget. :)
the next day i woke up to my father's text message telling that he already got me a ticket back to cebu. i forgot to buy my ticket. im glad my father remembered coz if he didn't id be stuck in ormoc coz its peak season and its hard to get a ticket because of the holidays.. i stayed at the pharmacy all morning. bought some revel bars for workmates. by 1:15 im on the weesam waiting area. we were delayed for 15minutes. lots of passengers. arrived at cebu around 4pm.
so thats it for my quick home visit. :) i'll be seeing my hometown this summer.. im planning to see those whale sharks a.k.a. "butanding"..
