Christmas is the season for eating

Merry Christmas! Right now I feel really bloated and ugly. I just came from my cousins’ place and for lunch, my dad brought this lechon (roasted suckling pig) stuffed with paella (a Spanish rice dish). I ate a lot of that, along with some huge-ass prawns and random sweets. Oh well, Christmas comes but once a year. It’s a shame I won’t be losing any of these excess calories though. I decided to skip rehearsals tomorrow because not only am I not ready to sacrifice waking up at noon, I also need to work on some college shit. And if Rajelyn wants to remove me from the cheerleading team altogether, then so be it. I have my priorities and although cheerleading can be fun, it’s located somewhere near the bottom of my list.

Another reason why I want to stay home tomorrow is so I can have some good bonding time with my Playstation2. I won’t be able to even touch the damn thing once school starts, so I might as well play while I have the time. At the moment I’m really addicted to Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4. The music is good and besides, it’s the closest thing I’ll ever come to becoming a “skater girl”. I swear, I can’t skate to save my life. I’m not even lousy at it–I just don’t know how. A couple of my friends skate and I’ve had many opportunities to learn, but the most I’ve ever done is stand real still on a skateboard. Something about standing on a wobbly, rolling base really unnerved me, and I couldn’t bring myself to move. That’s what I love about Playstation–I get to do stuff that I normally can’t. Although playing Tony Hawk made me think twice about trying to learn how to skate again. As if.

So that’s how I spent Christmas Day–pigging out at my cousins’ and then playing Tony Hawk. Wonder what I’ll be doing this time next year.
