On Christmas Eve my relatives from my mom's side came to our house and we stayed up until 12 midnight and then we opened our presents. The whole time we were waiting though, my sister, my cousins and I were walking around our neighborhood watching other kids play with fireworks and running away from them. We also just sat down in an area and watched people carol. It was very fun. On the real Christmas Day my family and I visited our relatives from my dad's side. We had a party and I saw most of my cousins. We talked a lot about different things. Later on we opened presents again. It was a nice get together to see our relatives again and celebrate the day Jesus was born.
Airport Troubles -
My family and I went to Boracay before New Years so we could celebrate it there. Although we had a little trouble at the airport with the booking. The whole reason our family started fighting was because Cebu Pacific (the airlines we took) OVERBOOK
ED us! We booked our flight and paid for it way back in June and they delayed our flight! They were telling my parents that they sent us an email saying that our flight was delayed but we never received one so my parents were asking for a copy to prove them right. Since we didn't get our email we thought that our flight was still at 10:20 so we were at the airport at 8:00 a.m. They said the flight was delayed for TWO HOURS. My parents didn't go down without a fight. They kept asking what are we going to do here for 4 hours?!?! We were a group of six with my grandparents, parents, my sister and me. They told us to come back at ten and they would tell us if they got us in the flight so we waited and at ten we went there and they said they couldn't get us on the flight. My parents told them that they HAD to get us on that flight even if it means taking seats from people who are late for the flight so they kept trying and they did get six seats but they had to bump out 2 people for that. But the people ended up coming and they started fighting for their seats and the lady from Cebu Pacific was saying that only 5 people can get on the plane and 1 person has to be left behind but we wouldn't budge. So after a long time of fighting with Cebu Pacific we ended up getting the delayed flight
. We weren't sad because even though we got the delayed flight we still pressured them and fought for our rights so we were still happy. :)
New Years -
On New Years we were in Boracay and when we went out of our hotel r
oom there was a band playing in front of our hotel! Everyone was singing along, dancing and wal
king on the beach front. We greeted family friends Happy New Year in the hotel next to us and then we watched the fireworks. They were so pretty! When the fireworks were still going we went to go watch a guy spin fire on those fire baton things. Straight after he finished a bunch of fireworks started popping and my sister and I were so scared we were running back to our hotel. While we were dancing in front of our hotel a guy went to the very front right where the band was and when most people cleared out because they were tired he started doing the WORM! It was very cool. Straight after he got up another guy ran past everyone to the very fro
nt and did a FRONT HANDSPRING! It was amazing! When we went back to our hotel room my sister and I stayed in the room watching dvds all night. (technically morning from like 1 a.m. u
ntil 2 a.m. I was exaggerating.) :)
