*First day of Winter* :]
Yep, I haven't posted in a long while. And I usually just make one friggin' long entry about all the days.. but this time it'll be short. Oh.. and I thought the first day of winter is on the 21st?? o-oDecember 14th
The first time I saw my friend Kai since spring, and hung out with my old best friend Marteshus since God knows how long ago.. We all went to Atlantic Station. Did we take pictures? No. Why? Because we're retarded and forgot to bring the cameras! x| But we enjoyed ourself while freezing our asses off. It took us a good dramatic few hours to get settled, but we all got to go. We shopped around and ate, paraded in bars, ice cream parlors and restaurants.. danced through the streets, and hit it all off with a movie! Saw I Am Legend :] Kai didn't see it though because she had to be home by 11. Me and Marteshus got home at 1:30+ that night since we had just turned 17 ^.^
December 15th
Went to my aunt's friend's Chinese Christmas party. There were just a lot of adults, but it was nice and warm :] Now, Chinese Christmas is just basically a raffle game. I guess it's from Chinese Tradition. There were presents everywhere, and everyone there over 14 had to pick a number out of the basket. What ever number you have, means whoever has a number under your's, you can get there present if you want. If you don't want anyone's present, you just go under the tree and what box you want. So say if I had number 1. I go up to the tree and pick a present, then open it in front of everybody. It turns out to be a power drill. They get to number 11, he wants my power drill instead of a present under the tree, so he takes it. Which sucks that someone can take your present. The second part to the game is, once someone takes you present, you're left with none, so you have to go back under the tree and open another one. You keep going this until the last number is reached. And you can only take presents from people with number's under yours. So it's great to have a large number. :] One boy, everyone kept taking his presents so he had to keep going back, lol. But that's good too because you get to open the other present you had in mind and see what it is, also have a chance to have it ^^
My first present was a humidifier and water purifier.. some girl took it and I got stuff with a set of flash lights Dx. But some guy took it and gave me his alarm clock and I gave it to my mom because she needed a new one. That worked out well. ^^ Then my aunt got a telephone and she gave it to me :D So now I have a new touch screen phone in my room. *yays* It's cool. They had a lot of appliances, let alone stuff like jewelry and clothes or whatever. But that's great because I go into college soon. Saves me a lot of shopping and money!
