Gift from My Manita

O diba bagay kami? Walang kokontra sasampalin ko talaga hahaha!

I mentioned in my earlier post that we had a Christmas party during our last day in the lying-in clinic in Bulacan. I was kinda not digging the idea at first for I was thinking that my groupmates are pushing it too hard on enjoying the first rotation. Eh kasi naman, wala na kaming ginawa kung hindi matulog nang matulog, makinig ng music at maglaro ng cooking mama sa DS ni Badeth tapos hihirit pa kami ng party. But our CI, who I love so much because of her warmth and care, agreed happily.

So of course we decided to have the Manito and Manita. 4th year high school ata ako nun nung huli akong nagexchange gift, so I was excited. After we picked our manito and manitas (I picked Badeth) we listed our wishes. Some listed an ipod case, stuff toy, t-shirt and a muffin that has a weird name. My manita wrote for a handible electric fan. Hahaha. Kamusta naman yun she even wrote kung saan siya mabibili (trinoma! sosyal!) and she specified na dapat may energizer na battery. Being the sloth that I am I ended up not fulfilling her wish. I bought a crystal case for her itouch instead.

At dahil napakadrama-queen ko and that I like stealing the show, I decided to ask for a date! Hahaha! Some of them were doubtful about me being serious with it but I assured them. I perceived it as my chance to finally get some measure of intimacy! Tigang na tigang na ako!

So the whole week I was taunting my groupmates about it, always reminding them that by the time we arrive at the lying-in on the night of our Xmas party, I'm expecting a candle-lit dinner for two and a band of musicians to sooth us. But heck! They were giving me the hint that their planning to set me up with this classmate of ours na super epal and super presko at super acting know-it-all! So I was eating my words and telling them na maski hindi na date basta romantic yung gift. For I'd rather stay single for the rest of my fag life than be with that guy alone for even a single minute! Waaaaaaaaah!

I was kind nervous when we held our party for I had no idea who picked me and what the gift was. We bought a bucket of chicken from KFC, Pancit Malabon, Maja -courtesy of Badeth-) and bread for our dinner. We decided to hand our gifts first. We had this ritual of giving a heartfelt message and singing a christmas song as we reveal our manita.

And I was surprised that it was Kim, my classmate from last semester! I didn't even had the slightest idea about it! She pulled down this bottle of red wine and told me that when the day come that I finally had a date I should use it.In fairness bote lang yun na may panglasing pero natouch na ako. But then it wasn't the highlight, for she handed me another one. This time she allowed me to open it myself. My groupmates were telling me that it was a picture of Mr Know-it-all so I was freakin out. I slowly tore down the gift to take a peek. And it almost poked me in the eyes!

It was a cardboard with a set of pictures of Nikko, my neighbor who happens to be my crush! He's a batchmate of mine and I often bump into him at school and on my way home. Kaya lang suplado at may pagkahomophobic ata siya, so I don't talk to him (or is it the other way around?). Grabe ininvite ko siya sa friendster at 1 month bago niya tinanggap. I think the stud went on a pilgrimage first in order to find out if I'm worthy of being added as a friend. And since then, the guy became so effin cocky! He would smile as if someone is poking him in the ass (atleast that would be a normal reaction for me) whenever he sees me. Taena sarap upakan. I even remember this instance when he first saw me buying my merienda back at my home (Kilala niya na ata ako sa itsura but he didn't know na halos magkapitbahay lang kami). I just woke up from a nap so I looked all sexed up and I didn't even combed my hair nor change my clothes when I went out. And then I was crossing the street when I saw him staring at me. Waaah! I was so embarassed that I would even hide in a drum with Mr Know-itall in it!

I was really surprised for Kim really took a hell of an effort for that one. Waaaaah! Nakakiyak seryoso. Hahaha. Thanks Kim! Love you girl!

I miss my former groupmates so much, but I'm starting to like and get comfortable with my new one.

Anygays enough of this long post. I'll be uploading the pics na.

XOXO
