I know it’s already too late to write an entry about this but I couldn’t help it. I feel so empty right now, I just have to write. So, here it is …

In my family, it’s important to celebrate New Year’s Eve together. They say it’s unlucky not to be with your loved ones on the first day of the year. I can’t remember a Christmas or a New Year that we are not together. We’ve always spent it together. But this time is different because I was all alone. Since my brother and sister are already married, they can’t be with me. Of course, they invited me to spend the night with them but I didn’t want to go out. Here in Tondo, Manila, New Year is a notorious event. I chose to stay inside the house and be safe! Yup. Champagne is better than firecrackers. I’d rather be drunk than be injured.

Where is my mother? Well, she’s with her boyfriend. Yup, blogmates, my mom has a love life. LOL. A few hours before 12 AM, they went outside to party with the neighbors. They told me to lock the door and to close the windows. It’s funny. The champagne made me so sleepy. I fell asleep and when they arrived home, they had to knock for more than 30 minutes. I’m a heavy sleeper so it’s difficult to wake me up add the fact that I was drunk.

So, that was my New Year. Boring and nonsense. Haha! I had options. But I wanted to be alone on that day to sort out my feelings. For someone. I am actually thankful for the opportunity to drink alone. It felt good.
