Golden Christmas, Fortunate Evening: Where Did Everyone Go??




- December 21, 2011, Wednesday.

- Bless and I had a hard time organizing tonight's dinner because everyone seemed to be busier this year. It was the first Christmas where most people in the group had jobs, me included, while those left in school were still battling with their theses, or for some, we weren't sure what happened to them due to lack of communication.

- We planned to have maybe a casual gathering at a pizza place, but Genevieve wanted us to have a more formal sit-down dinner, although she ended up not showing up tonight at the last minute because of her thesis.

- There were only five of us tonight, and boy, what a banquet we had. We had a platter of noodles, fish, rice, soup, and an oyster cake. We even wanted to have a regular salt-and-chili crocodile meat, just so we'd know how croc meat tasted like, but it wasn't available tonight.

- In the middle of our dinner, my friend Tiffa dropped by to hand me her Christmas present. It was nice seeing her again after 2 weeks (??) I think.

- We ended dinner at around 10 in the evening, after noticing many customers finishing their dinner too. Bless and I walked home to burn some of the food we ate, and we really did feel the Christmas spirit after passing by some carolers, bibingka sellers, and teenagers inside the nearby church practicing their dance for a Christmas party (at least that's how it seemed like to me.)
