Episode 5: 120 kilometres

       So it's the last day of 2011! Yesterday was meant to be my date with 'awesome' (introduced in episode 4 of this blog), but apparently, her boyfriend didn't give her permission. What? Pops let me have his car for the date so I didn't tell him it was off. I just took the car out, dropped some peeps from my house where they needed to go for their own errands, and drove to Ifeanyi's house. He's my closest friend in my university.
      I guess me and awesome will never happen. I even asked if I could come to her place (I know her parents will flip, but I could park nearby and she could come out to meet me) if only for ten minutes because I wanted to make sure I gave her her Christmas gifts this year, not whenever we meet in school next year. She said I couldn't come. She's a really nice person, so even if she really wants to say "Fuck off and leave me alone", she'll say something like "I'm sorry, maybe next time. But I reeeaaaaally wanted to go!". That way, I don't know when what she's saying is undiluted truth or candy-coated words to avoid hurting my feelings.
         So Ifeanyi and I started composing a song together, then I drove him somewhere for him to run an errand, then he took me out to eat....................it was so romantic. Seriously though, I didn't plan on my day going that way, but I found it funny when I realized I was technically on a date with Ify. As for the title of today's episode, I ended up driving a total distance of 120kilometres today, yet, I really didn't go anywhere..........at least not where I really wanted to go.
        I actually wanted to list the highlights of my year in this post but I will have to do that in next year's first post. I've had a really shitty day. I got dragged out of the house before I could even have my bath or breakfast, got home late in the evening and have to leave home now for the cross over service at church. Happy new year people!

Episode 4: The Christmas Hangover

    First, I want to apologize for not posting in over a month, even though I don't know yet whether anyone reads this blog, seeing I just started it. I've been really busy in the last few weeks because my family just moved into an awesome new house and that led to many time consuming stuff. We're much further away from the office now (I'm doing an internship at my dad's office) so it takes forever just to get to work.
        Throughout last week, I had to  drive us to work (in pop's new, huge Toyota Sequoia that I never dreamed of driving) while pops alternates between working at the back of the car and yelling about my terrible driving skills. *Sigh* I will remember last week forever. My driving skills really improved between Monday and Friday!
      Every Christmas, my dad or one his brothers hosts a buffet where my extended family just gets together to eat and chat. This year happened to be our turn to host Christmas since we just moved in so we've been so super busy making sure the house has everything in place that one would expect to be in a house, though we didn't move with any of our old stuff (besides a few clothes and of course, books) since they're too old. All the furniture and electronics in the house are brand new and somebody had to do the shopping.
        It's been a really busy month for me but I do love the new stuff. 55 inch 3D TV? Check! Awesome decorations that have no functionality besides looking cool? Check! New fridge and freezer stuffed with enough leftovers from Christmas to ensure we don't have to cook for a week? Check! New girlfriend? Well, I'm working on that. After my date on Thursday, I'll let you guys know whether she said yes or no. And no, I can't tell you her real name here. We'll just call her............."awesome".
     I have finally managed to get some time to watch anime. I've been watching Naruto Shippuuden. It's impressive. I don't know, should I review each saga I watch on this blog or talk about what the highlights were for me and should I avoid posting potential spoilers or should I assume that my readers have watched the same episodes I have? I also watch many other animes and Naruto is my fourth favorite, so don't assume I'm simply a Naruto fan. So let's make this a bit more interesting. Sound off in the comments section; was this Christmas nice, overrated or terrible for you? Mine was really great but I know someone who's STILL having a shitty time as I write this :(
