My body is already aching and the bed is waiting but I must do this post first before hitting the sack.

I never thought, not in my wildest dreams, that we will be greeting 2013 with a flight and engagement. This is probably the most unusual way of us celebrating the new year. My sister, Toni, is now back abroad after her two weeks vacation. She flew in just to spend the holidays with us. She had to take the January 1 flight because she already has work today and that there are no more cheaper flights. Still, lucky for her that she can do that. My younger brother who also left us to work abroad had to spend his first Christmas away from us because he is bound by contract and it will be too costly if he comes home within that. I must admit talking to him via Skype during Christmas and New Year made me teary eye. Thank goodness our call did not have to last too long because he is also busy.

My uncle flew in also before 2012 ends to mend his love life. He and his girlfriend already had plans of getting married last December but planning did not pushed through as they had this problem with each other. My uncle wanted to come home right then and there at that time but people around him made him realize the consequences of his action. Well, they did not get married last year but they will be this year. This is for sure already. My mom told Toni to already schedule her next flight because she will be a part of my uncle’s entourage. She just left and now, she was already told to come home. Cute, right!
