2011, Bring it on!

The Binsol family has this tradition of celebrating the major holidays (Christmas, New Year...) together at my maternal grandparents' house in Pasig. But Last Christmas, I overheard some of them talking about spending it individually in each family's respective homes. In case you don't know, I'm a new year baby, so that "turn-over's" a big deal to me.

 I was already mind-set that my 17th birthday's gonna be a flop. But there was a big twist that happened in the afternoon of the 30th of December. I was sitting in front of the computer, checking for updates on my sites, haven't even taken a shower yet, and was absolutely not in the mood to go out, when my bestfriend messaged me about spending the night at her house. Since my cousins won't be with me during my actual celebration, I figured, why not ask my mom? There was nothing to lose anyway. She surprisingly said YES...booyah!

My best friend and I are like sisters that God forgot to give to each other. We've been inseparable since 3rd year high school, and  it's in her company that I'm most comfortable in. That night, I must say, was definitely unpredictable and laughter-filled! There was never a dull time. See what I mean? ^

I was already satisfied with my "mini" celebration, so I got a heads up for the New Year's eve get-together...I had no idea on what we were gonna do then. As soon as I got home, I helped my mom prepare for the handa, and dressed up for the Eastwood Countdown later that night...

*at Eastwood*

It was so crowded, and I was stuck inside Red Mango from waiting for our orders. The countdown was already starting that time, and I thought I'd only be able to leave that room by next year.(Well, technically :D ) As I approached the "balcony", everyone was already cheering to welcome 2011.  *goosebumps*   I even caught a confetti, (I sorta wanted to believe it could be a lucky object since I got it by chance) but I lost it as I was eating my froyo. ☹

Fast forward to the next day...(or must I say, the next few hours)...

Nothing much happened during the family reunion in Paranaque, only the usual funny kwentuhans and bonding with the younger cousins. We weren't complete, though. But I was already contented to just have seen so much change in my pinsans. Where has time gone? They're growing up so too fast!
