Hello 2011 =)

The Holidays '10

      My Christmas Eve and my Christmas wasn't what I thought it would be, but it wasn't all bad.  I spend Christmas Eve with my family, my best friend, and my goddaughter.  I was hoping to go to mass with my boyfriend and his family for nochebuena, but my mom told me we were having a celebration of our own, and plus, I was looking forward to seeing my best friend, Jennifer and my goddaughter, Kaylani.  Even though my mom said we were going to celebrate Christmas Eve, Jennifer, Kaylani and I ended up having dinner by ourselves.  It was ok with me though, because my family doesn't usually celebrate Christmas Eve, except for opening one present on Christmas Eve night.  I didn't open any presents because I wanted to wait for my boyfriend, so we could open presents together.  We ended up opening all of our presents when he came back from mass, it was Christmas after all since he came back at 3 a.m.

 

Christmas 2010           (My Christmas nails)

     My family didn't really have a big celebration for Christmas either.  Everyone was either at work, in bed, on the computer, or watching t.v.  We didn't have dinner or anything.  My parents went to the movies and watched Chronicles of Narnia, my brother was at work, and my 2 other brothers just stayed home.  I didn't go over to JC's house until 8 p.m.  By then, the party was practically over.  By the time I got there, they were done with the games, which what I looking forward to.  When I got there, they were already handing out presents.  It's sad to say that the last Christmas of the decade wasn't the best nor it was my favorite.

 

New Year's Eve     (My "New" Nails)

     An almost different story happened on New Year's Eve.  Everyone was together; my parents, my brothers and their girlfriends, me and my boyfriend.  I thought this New Year's Eve was going to be different.  I seriously thought we were going to be all in the living room (except for JC) and wait for midnight to strike.  It turns out that this New Year's Eve was just going to be like the others.  Everyone is in their room and in bed.  I wanted to countdown, I was looking forward to the New Year and I was looking forward to a fresh start.  The first thing I did in 2011 was cry.  Cry because I had a chance to celebrate it with JC, but I chose to stay with my family thinking that we were going to stay up until midnight.  I was so upset I went to bed crying and told JC I didn't want to see him.  I actually didn't, I didn't want to see anyone.  I wanted to be alone.  Then, I told myself that 2011 isn't just a new year, it's a new decade and it's the year I turn 20.  I told myself that I'm going to change this year.  I'm not going to cry or get upset about silly little things.  I want that from now on, I'm going to make the best out of my situation, whether it's good or bad.  I want cherish every moment I have with this new decade.  A friend of mine from high school died on New Year's Eve.  I knew him since my freshmen year and I remember him being very sweet and funny.  It took death for me to realize that life is short and I can't keep focusing on the negativity I have on my life and I just need to focus on the positive.  I can't dwell on the past, because it will just ruin my present and my future.

The BIG TWO-OH

     In exactly 7 days, I'm turning 20 years old, or should I say 2 decades.  I look forward to many things, good and bad, for the next decade.  I hope by the time 2020 ends, I have a career that I love, a home full of joy, a family full of love, and I hope to have a healthy life.  I look forward to turning 20, after all, they say the 20s are the most exciting years in a girl's life.
