Not So Exciting Fiesta

Ahh the Dumanjug Fiesta. Usually I would be a bit excited for this event which comes once a year around early October. Oh and Dumanjug is a small town in Cebu City where most of my relatives are from. It's more of a reunion with any relatives/friends who attend. The thing with this year is that, I was literally bored out of my mind :/

I arrived sometime around early 6 p.m. and saw everyone there [or at least most]. One of my cousins asked to come with her to her place to pick up community service hour forms. Two of my cousins tagged along and so we drove. My cousin was kind of speeding to avoid rush hour traffic. I was a little nervous because some cars were cutting in front of us and her car nearly hit the rear of someone's car -_- We arrived to her place and chilled for a bit. She couldn't find some of the forms because her mom probably misplaced it. So the remaining ones she found were all she had. Then we decided to get boba nearby her house. I haven't had boba for the longest. I had white chocolate mocha which is quite yummy. While going back to the fiesta, we missed the exit! None of us had any idea so we were worried we'd get lost. So I told my cousin to go to the next exit and try to find out way back. Fortunately we somehow remember where to go from there. Woot! Her mom kept calling us saying we're late for mass [which btw we missed majority of it after reaching the part where they say peace be with you].

Once mass was over, everyone was in line for the food. I didn't want to waste my time waiting in that long line so I chilled with two of my cousins in the parking lot having deep conversations. Some of our cousins were looking for us and we ducked as they were passing by. Our talk lasted for probably about 25 minutes. Then we decided to go back and see what was going on at the party. I met some of my cousin's friends who were so shy -.- I tried talking to them and they just stand there looking like lost souls.

My relatives had a raffle with different prizes which were given by people. Some kid won a rice cooker [how asian is that] while my nephew won $50. I would've snatched it and run, but that would be too messed up as his aunt. LOL! I remember a girl won an iPod shuffle though. I was told they were going to give an iPhone...bunch of liars. I would have been happier if it were to be the new iPod nano. Oh yeah, I ended up not purchasing it yesterday. The mall was closed :/ Maybe today or tomorrow I'll be able to get it.

Everyone was dancing to disco and some of the modern songs we hear today. Most of my cousins and I just sat around suffering from the boredom. I played slapjack with some of them to keep the bored away. It was probably the only highlight of the night because we bursted into laughter as we were playing. I wish we would see each other often.

I called Jana and talked to her for a good 15 minutes before I lost signal. I was waiting to go home early so I can catch up with my youstreamskypians online. Two of my cousins left earlier than I thought and the remaining people were just talking. My cousin James and I came up with a plan to do some sort of a 'scandalous' photo with his sister and one of my cousin's friends. We tried taking a clear photo of them together but our attempts failed until towards the end when one of my cousins asked them if she can take a photo. Wow, that was just way too simple there. Anyway, the photo was so cute and James tried sending it to a friend. Unfortunately, it didn't work when we tried sending it through my phone. So I have to upload the photo with my USB cord and send it to him. James was frustrated that his sister wouldn't speak to the guy next to her. We were like GO IN FOR THE KILL! D: Geez...then somehow they made progress. Ahahah! It didn't quite last long which was a bummer. Yes I know, we're such r-tards.

People commented about my hair asking if I had a haircut. I guess they forgot my last haircut was about two months ago. The only difference with my hair was that it was so straight. Maybe that was why, but yeah. People were still dancing until around midnight when everyone was leaving one by one. I was like HALLELUJAH! It sucks that I won't be able to see my cousins for a while from now.

I got home and hopped on AIM to talk to Jana most of the time. Then I texted Jeff since he was still online and asked for a call. So we ended up talking late again which is always fun. He plans to go to California soon and said I should visit New York one day. If only I had enough money by then, maybe I will. We'll just have to wait and see. I slept around 5 a.m. and also the night before. I woke up around 10 a.m. when my parents were having an argument. Seriously, what a great way to start my morning with that. I hate being here sometimes.
