currently listening to: patd interview - npr world cafe session (yeah...i know)

the family day is over. my section didn't win but i think we did pretty well, all things considered. i didn't stick around for the family day because the crowd was overwhelming and the heat was unbearable. besides, i wasn't looking too awesome that day, so why let everyone see my overheated state?

when i got home, i wanted to just crash on my bed.

alas, i have no bed! since my dad had my room repainted (he literally had it repainted it...as in the same color...white), the place smells like (what else) paint. it's really not healthy to be inhaling all those fumes so i had to sleep on my parent's bed. that didn't last long either. my dad woke me up so i could start putting my furniture back in. ugh.

sunday. i finally thought i would be getting the much needed rest i'd been longing for. unfortunately, my dad woke me up at 7 so we could go to my grandmother's sister's birthday party (tia nene). mind you, the party is in my uncle's house in lucena, quezon. about a four-hour drive. it was just me and my dad because my sisters are too lazy and my mom is too busy. we finally got there and it was another alcancia family reunion. it sucked that i'm the only representative from our family. everyone else's family was almost complete. we got there at 12 pm, just in time for lunch. i mostly hung out with chela, since we're the cousins with the closest ages. after lunch, we watched the hottie and the nottie with our second cousins in their TV room (or whatever you call the room with the TV inside). that killed the time while the adults chatted outside. the movie finished just in time for the goodbyes. everyone had to go back home and whatnot.

it was another four hour drive back to manila and then we went to mass. i guess that concludes another one of my exciting weekends.

oh, yeah. i watched high school musical 3: senior year with belay, daryll, and sam last friday. it was awesome! loved the songs. the only thing i didn't like was how it all ended for sharpay. i guess she has to learn humility and all that. oh, well. so, will there be a high school musical 4? i hope so. the newbies looked promising.
