Magical Christmas?

you know what would be awesome?!
having an almost magical Christmas...
i know... thats how the world supposedly sees it but hey, even i want to dream of a white Christmas as well you know...
i really wished i could experience Christmas like those kids in Western countries where on Christmas eve, they either sit around the Christmas tree by the fire and wait till midnight to open their presents and having a jolly good time without a care in the world...
or having fun just decorating the Christmas tree with carols and Christmas songs playing in the background...
or just waking up to Christmas with laughter and fun...
or playing with snow and making snowmen...
that will be an experience that i would like to have...
but i think i'm too old for that and i never really had a chance to have that as far as i could remember...
and now, we have Christmas Carnival every year and thus, no waking up late and lazing around on Christmas...
sigh....
if only we can be like kids and feel the "magic" of Christmas...
a feeling that the world is at total peace for just one day...

Another piece...

another scene...
one of the important scenes in my short story...
i'm trying something different as in I'm gonna write this in a first person point of view and see which is better...
oh, and by the way, i figured the title for this story. well, actually, i thought of 2, need help choosing one.
should I put it as "Pages of My Diary" or "Moments with Her."?
anyways, enough of me, time for the scene...

-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-

It was the annual semester end party, but this time, it's different due to the fact that this would be our last semester thus this party will be the last annual semester end party. What made this even more different is the fact that Kristy drop the big bomb on me. And it wasn't the kind of news that anyone would like to hear from a friend let alone their best friend. She told me something that might change everything I've ever know.

Kristy was really quiet this time. She was not really in the mood for a party. Everyone on our table chatted happily but Kristy was really quiet which is really odd for her. When asked, she just said she was not feeling well, but I know theres more to that than just not feeling well.
As Kristy excused herself and head to the lady's i followed her and tapped her on the shoulder.

"Kris, are you okay? You've been really quiet all night? Is something wrong? And dont tell me you're just not feeling well cos I know thats not it" I said.
"Wes, I'm fine. Really. I'm just not feeling too well." Kristy replied.
"I know you too well. Being under the weather doesn't get you down like this." I said.
"You're right. My dad got promoted. They dropped me the news yesterday." Kristy said.
"That's great!" I told her.
"The thing is, it's gonna be in LA as in Los Angeles. My whole family will be moving there next year and by next year, I mean next month." Kristy said, getting teary eyed.

Now all the pieces fit together. I know exactly why she was so quiet. At the same time, my heart crumbled and shatter into pieces. Will I be able to tell her before it is too late? Or should I tell her at all? I'm afraid that if I do, I would make this so much harder than it already is. I'll be holding her back.
Kristy began to sob as I held her and gave my shoulder for her to cry on.
Calmly, I told her "It's gonna be alright. We'll keep in touch no matter where we are and how far we're apart. We have Facebook and Skype now, remember."

I faked a smile as I told her that, holding my tears back as I'm about to let go of the girl I fell for.
It was always Kristy's dream to go and have a new life in New York and LA is one step nearer to achieving it for her.
I was not going to hold her back. I couldn't afford to. Seeing her happy is that important to me.
She looked at me as I gently wiped the tears from her eyes.
Her mascara smudged and we started laughing, just to break the tension.
I watched her as she made her way to the lady's, my heart aches with every step she took.
It will only be 10 more days till she leaves.
In those 10 days, I'm gonna try my best to make sure she leaves without a single regret in mind.
I promised myself that and I promised not to let her know how I felt about her.

That day finally came, the day where Kristy would leave to be half way around the world, too many miles too far away.
We are at the airport, just me and Kristy's family.
My parents could not make it due to work obligations and I had to send them to the airport.
I pulled Kristy aside soon after.
I wanted to bid my last farewells to her in private.
My heart wanted to say those three words but "I'll miss you...a lot." came out instead.
"I'll miss you too." she said.
"Take care okay." I said to her.
She just nodded.
We hugged after that.
I wish time would stop for a moment like this.
It was a hard Goodbye.

"FLIGHT LA6549 TO LOS ANGELES WILL DEPART IN 10 MINUTES. PASSENGERS, PLEASE PROCEED TO TERMINAL 3" the announcement went on.
We let go of each other as we walked back to Uncle Christopher, Auntie Katie, and Kira, Kristy's sister.
I accompanied them till the furthest I could go.
I watched as they walked into the terminal and waved my final farewell as Kristy walked pass the arch.
I stayed a while longer as i watched the airplanes take off.
Confident that that airplane was the one Kristy was on board, I waved up to the sky as I watch it leave.
Walking back to my car, I felt my world changing.
No more calling up somebody or expecting somebody to call me in the middle of the night just to talk. No more lunches together every Tuesday, Kristy's and my weekly routine, no more laughing our heads of at silly jokes and puns and also, no more walking through the streets with somebody by my side after a long day.

Awkward Moment (in detail) #1

you know whats awkward...
when you are watching a vlog on youtube and noticed that something (and by something, i meant dirt) is on your screen at the most inappropriate places...
like when the dirt is just at the vlogger's boobs or face...
you wanna just scratch the dirt off but you'll think that people will think that you're a sex addict or homo (if the vlogger is of the same gender)...

lemme know if that has ever happened to you...

I think i'll pen them down

i think i'll start (or should i say develop) this story after i finish STPM, which is two weeks more to go...
if you dont know what i'm talking about, look at (and read) the post below...
anyone wants to know what is it gonna be about?
i'll tell you anyways...

its gonna be a classic tale of a guy realizing he fell for his childhood best friend and the obstacles that come his way just because he is afraid to tell her how he feels, afraid that it might ruin his friendship with her and everything he has ever known.

for staying with me this long, i'll give you a little sneak peak on the next scene i'm gonna write... it's one of the climax of the story...
well, actually, its not really a sneak peak, its more of a sneak pic....
i'm gonna use this photo for the next scene's erm.... emotion setting orwhatever you wanna call it...

Another Short Scene...

here's another scene that has been playing in my mind...
yes, i love the names Wesley and Kristy and thus used them again...
you know, if i can fill in the gaps and everything, this could actually turn out to be a script...
__________

Wesley and Kristy were sitting at the bench just outside Kristy's dorm area.
Kirsty was crying.
"I don't know what to do Wes. I can't believe he did that to me." Kristy sobbed.
Wesley just kept quiet. He knew that saying anything wouldn't help his best childhood friend.
Wesley rubbed Kristy's back as he let her lean on his shoulder as she wept.
"Do you want me to hug you?" Wesley whispered.
Kristy just nodded silently as her head moved to Wesley's chest.
The warmth form Wesley comforted Kristy in the cold night.

"YOU! STAY AWAY FROM MY GIRLFRIEND!" a voice shouted from afar as a male figure approached them.
The man pulled Wesley and Kristy apart and punched Wesley in the face.
"PARRY! Stop it!" Kristy shouted.
The man, Parry turned towards Kristy.
"Babe. What happened? Did you just cry?" Parry asked her as he let go of Wesley.
"Its...its... nothing..." Kristy answered, stuttering.
"No, its not nothing. Take a wild guess at who made her cry..." Wesley said to Parry, Kristy shaking her head, mouthing a "No" at Wesley, pleading.
"SHUT YOU FACE HOLE GEEK!" Parry shouted at Wesley.
"What...what happened babe." Parry asked Kristy as he tried to grab her but she shrugged him off.
"Tell him Kris. Tell him or I will." Wesley urged Kristy.
"Tell me what?" Parry looked at Kristy.
Kristy just shake her head.

"You cant let this happen Kris. You know what you did?! Kristy saw you kissing the new girl, Sasha was it..." Wesley, getting angry said to Parry.
"Wh...I'm... I'm sorry babe. I didn't mean to. She came over me and started flirting with me. The next thing I know, she's kissing me. I know I should've stopped her, but I cant... I'm sorry."Parry pleaded with Kristy.
"What do you mean you cant?" Kristy asked, doubt and disbelieve in her tone.
"I'm a man, babe. I have my needs. And since you don't want to satisfy them, I cant help myself but get it from another girl." Parry said, justifying his actions and trying to shift the blame on Kristy.
"Wh...what?" Kristy said, in disbelieve that he just said that.
Realizing the truth of Parry's intentions to be with her, Kristy took a deep breath.
"I promised myself to stay pure and keep my virginity. If you cant respect that, I don't think we should be together." Kristy said, strong.
"So you breaking up with me now heh, b*tch. You know what, I'm tired of you keeping your V-card all to yourself. I dont need you..." Parry shouted at Kristy.
"YOU JERK!" Wesley shouted as he dashed towards Parry and punched him in the gut.
Wesley was going for another punch when Kristy stopped him.
"WES! STOP!" Kristy stopped Wesley and pulled him away.
"He's not worth it."Kristy said to Wesley, shaking her head in disappointment.
The two of them walked towards Kristy'd dorm compound.
"Yeah! Walk away now. Walk away..." Parry said as he stand up, holding his stomach in pain.
Wesley turned his head but Kristy squeezed his arm, shaking her head.
They continued to walk in.

The two besties sat on the seat of the garden set in Kristy's dorm compound.
"Does it hurt?" Kristy asked as she applied ointment at Wesley's lip bruise.
"Ow...ow..." Wesley reacted to the pain.
"It does" Wesley said with a laugh in his tone.
Then, their eyes met.
It felt like there's a connection.
Suddenly, Wesley's cellphone rang.
Wesley grabbed and answered his cellphone.
"Dude, where are you? You're supposed to be here for practice remember?" the guy on the other side said.
"Yea, yea. I'll be there soon." Wesley answered as he pressed the red button.
"Duty calls." Wesley joked as he looked at Kristy.
Kristy laughed.
"Thank you." Kristy whispered.
Wesley just nodded as he gave an assuring smile.
"I'll walk you back to you dorm." Wesley offered.
"It's okay." Kristy answered.
"No, I insist." Wesley said.
"Fine." Kristy said with a smile.

The two walked towards Kristy's dorm building.
Wesley stopped about 5 meters away from the door as Kristy walks on.
Arriving at the door, Kristy turned and gave a wave.
Wesley returned the gesture.
Kristy laughed and entered her dorm.
Wesley smiled and shook his head as he walked off.
