I have a Christmas hangover.
Not because my cousins gave me a cup of wine and told me it was grape juice (which they didn't. Not this year, anyway). Not because I got an entire truckload of presents and crap that I wanted but didn't really need (which I didn't. Thank goodness >< I hate guilt).
No, no, no. The reason why I can't get off my lazy bum and drag myself to do any work is because...it still feels like Christmas to me.
Christmas has always been a big deal for me. My family has all these yearly traditions that we *try* to follow through with. Christmas Eve means dragging all of my family from my dad's side to our house. The adults watch Paris by Night and do whatever adults do together, and the kids run upstairs and try to sabotage each other playing Monopoly. Eventually around 1 or 2 in the morning, we get tired and all fall asleep.
On Christmas, after morning mass we leave my dad's side of the family and go over to my grandparents' house from my mom's side. The gift-giving's pretty big, and everybody always gets a lot of presents. And then we watch basketball. Christmas is the only day in the entire year that I ever watch basketball.
It's been different lately. Christmas Eve with dad's side began thinning out, until a couple years ago when they decided to move the party all the way to San Diego (-___-). My dad's always working that day and my mom can't drive that far. So, as a result I haven't seen a lot of my cousins from my dad's side in 2 years.
As for Christmas...well, I guess that's stayed pretty much the same. Thank goodness.
Well, I guess I should go do the dishes now. ick, my mom's going to Las Vegas for a couple days with my aunts, so me and my sisters will need to do a lot of the house chores D: Yay responsibility.

Crotchets
Crotchets, lol. That's such a funny word for something that's so straightforward.
Last week, my piano teacher finally gave me my music theory books. I didn't open them again until today, and crotchets floating around all over the first page are the first things I see.
I guess some people would be surprised to find me studying theory or playing piano. I do give off the impression of not being a very... deep or complex person. I mean, look at my previous entry. I blabber on about cute dramas and Ugly Betty, when everybody else's blogs are composed beautifully and thoughtfully (yes, they are D<). And in school, I keep content about receiving lower grades, and when I do get good grades, everybody's all like, WHAT? HOW'D ANGELINE DO SO WELL?
Well, fine. Think whatever you think. And I'll keep being whoever I am.
That just ruined the entire mood of this entry, didn't it D: I'm sorry.
On a side note, it's Christmas eve! And although the holiday season has become awfully materialistic, I still love it so (:
Merry Christmas, everybody! Keep warm and snug. And keep on lovin' :]

Winter Buhbreak~
blah blahblah blah blah.
I was...bored today. Mysoju was up and everything, but there's a kind of empty feeling you get after you finish watching an episode of any drama. Unless you start watching another one. Which totally explains addiction, eh?
So, I started up Full House again. The episodes are so long! But still..ahh...it's too cute .__.I need to squeeze something when I watch it. It's so unrealistic, but I don't care! If dramas were realistic, what fun would they be?
ahh how typical, I'm talking about dramas again >__<
But here's something that's not typical! I started watching Ugly Betty (: yayy American television!
There's a Vietnamese version of it too. Cô Gái Xấu Xí, lol. I watched a little of the 1st episode, and I can understand the gist of it. Kinda. I'd prefer it with subs, but I don't think there are any out there x] I exited out of the video anyway because I was still looking for a place where I could watch Ugly Betty.
where am I going with this? xD Okay, back to watching Ugly Betty.

Bandwagon
It's finally come. I don't even know why I'm even doing this. I already have Xanga (although, my xanga is super-private. good luck finding it).
Well, I guess if I ever have anything to say... this'll be the place.
