back to school

I had a pretty good Easter/Spring break. I didn't get out a lot (because of rain), but I did spend a lot of time with the family, which means a lot to me.

Easter Sunday started with a 7:15 a.m. Mass at my church. I like the 7:15 because of the priest that does it. He's a good priest--not too preachy, and he incorporates current events into his homily. Then Easter brunch at my Grandma's--very good (see below). My parents and my brother took me to LAX. I wrote this when I was waiting in the terminal:

It's 1:32 p.m. I'm writing this at LAX. I have a rather nice seat, it's overlooking the tarmack, and I can see Southwest planes landing.

It was a rather sweet moment before I left my family. We were seating right by the entrance to the Southwest terminal. I had already checked in my suitcase, and we were just enjoying the moment. Kuya and I were making fun of these girls that looked like "euro trash"--his words not mine. I was laughing hard because one of the girls was wearing one of those sunglasses that had this white trim that bordered the whole thing. I can't really explain it. It was just so trendy that it was absurd. All of us were laughing, making fun of the things people wear. It's mean, really. That's my family though, and we make fun of each other as well. I waved goodbye to them as I was standing in line for when they check your id and ticket and all.

This'll be my first flight without the dramamine. I think I can hack it. In fact, I'm most certainly sure I can. The trek home won't be so bad since I know what's going to happen and all, what trains to take and all. I think I'm going to read some Philip K. Dick now.

The trek actually was pretty bad because it was raining here, and I didn't count on that. I made it though, soaking wet. This stuff happens.

Saw "Millions" with Kuya at the Block. Amazing film--it was everything I had expected and more. Danny Boyle's great.

elaine a dit…

"it's sunny here! haha" why do you mock me, chaunce!?!?! haha, i'm just kidding. i was angry about travelling on Easter sunday too. Kuya also said that I picked the worst place to fly out of--LAX, but I think it went okay.

yes, the family is pretty awesome. this summer you should come over for a family dinner--dad loves it when people are over because that means he gets to talk non-stop.

I don't make fun of people a lot, I don't think. It's bad karma--I try to balance it out by doing nice deeds for people as well.

haha, "Joke naman". I remembered the first time I said that and you cracked up. I can't take credit for that quote--my brother is the first one to say it.
