My plan:
- Celebrate it with my niece and her fiance and few friends at 1900
- Go to church at 2200
- Go to church's Christmas Party at 2400
What happened:
Okay, Knowing that I had a tight schedule today so I realized that I have to move fast. Moreover, I always know that churches are always crowded in Christmas eve so I had this excellent idea - riding a motorcycle instead of driving a car. At least, it would save me from the difficulties of finding a vacant parking lot and going through the traffic. I had the feeling that everything would go exactly as on my schedule untill some hindering things rose.
When I was about to leave my house for going to aMORe to attend a little christmas party held by my niece and her fiance, dad told me to go to the florist, which is on the opposite direction of the party place, to buy a mourning bouquette for my uncle's business colleague. It was still fine by me as I was early or at least I knew that I wouldn't be that late. The traffic was heavy so I fell really good for choosing motorbike instead of a car. I arrived there at 1900 and got all things done at 1910. Then, I went hastily to the party spot.
The first scene I saw was a real surprise. I saw an empty yard that was supposed to be the parking lot which means that noone had arrived there. It was 1930. I decided to go in and claimed the booked table. I was still full in all positive thinking that they're trapped in the heavy traffic. They'd be there soon. Not having finished that thought, Andrew and Yuni arrived. Well, hey, someone had arrived so the others should be there soon too. Unfotunately, they didn't. It took them a whole hour from the appointment time!
My ex was there too. Well, I didn't it as a big problem as she is a member of my cousin's social circle. It became one when she was like all clingy to me. It did bother me a lot. Frankly, I feel very guilty to K who had been tried to avoid making me jealous by taking bus to her workplace despite her going in ferdi's car which is way more comfortable and faster than a bus while there was a girl who always push her way to sit next to me all the time we're on the same room. However, I can't complain as there were so many friends there who was having fun. I don't think that having a quarell about her behavior would be a wise move so I let her be. I'm sorry sweetheart. I promise it won't happen again.
We're playing UNO with punishments. The loser had to wear a reindeer's-prong-shaped headband, heart-framed eyeglasses, and a nasty shawl and I did lost. It was 2130 and I didn't think I'd make it for the church. Luckily, the party was over at 2200. I rushed to the church and arrived there at 2220. As expected, the church was totally crowded. Again, I felt lucky for my choice. The Christmas mass was over at 2400 and there was an announcement that the christmas party would be held at church's hall.
The party was ordinary - talent show, doorprize drawing, and feast. The talent shows were crappy, my cellphone was out of battery, I didn't get any of the prize, and I was missing K so much but somehow I enjoyed it - a lot. The party was over at 0330.
I had so much fun but I still have my christmas dream. Celebrating it with my family and then attending Christmas mass with someone I really love are things that have not happened yet in my life. I guess I can give the family thing up as I realize it's almost impossible to happen but I hope I could end my 12 years of attending Christmas mass in loneliness. It's fun and heartwarming to see couples and family attending the mass together but, at the same time, it always makes me jealous too..
