It's Christmas Eve and my family didn't plan on going out today, but we're supposed to prepare food for Christmas tomorrow. In the afternoon, Nate and Ane came over to visit and bring food, also so that Nathan's PC can get Windows 10 installed along with some games. They came over on time and I cleaned my room enough before they arrived. Eventually, they got here and we talked about a few things, I also set up Nathan's mini PC while all of this was going on. They were on my bed and I was mostly sat on my chair while Nathan told his wild stories. I ate blueberries and offered them some, and Ane seemingly didn't like it because it was too sour for her. Nathan kept telling his stories and us 3 also engage in conversation about other topics like FNaF, games, and other things.
Surprisingly, installing Valorant, League of Legends (even the post-install resources), and some of Nathan's games didn't take that much time. So we eventually finished up and Nathan and Ane eventually had to go back to their house for Christmas Eve. They did gift us a container full of Jollibee spaghetti, so that was nice of them. Nathan was especially excited in going back to his house so he can enjoy his new PC, and I'm sure they played online games the whole night.
After they left, I helped my sister in cooking some liempo, and it turns out it was really had. We had a makeshift stove made out of some iron wires that was on top of 2 cinderblocks and coal underneath. I wasn't even sure if it was safe to cook on, but whatever. Despite the difficulty, I enjoyed cooking the liempo and I sang lines from Eraserhead's "Spoliarium" to pass the time. Mom was busy cooking the other dishes on her own and my sister was off taking care of Milktea because he was scared of the fireworks outside. Eventually, the liempo was done cooking and mom takes the other food she cooked upstairs.
We took pictures of the food and of our family afterwards. We played some ABS-CBN Christmas songs on the TV while we ate and took photos. I also took photos of the gift I had bought myself this year, an iPhone 16 Pro Max, and posted it on IG. Afterwards, I greeted a few friends a merry Christmas. I ate a lot of food, like a lot. We had liempo, Pinoy spaghetti from Jollibee, friend chicken, Italian-style/original spaghetti, fruit salad, and that was more than enough for our family, honestly. I ate some of the food while talking and spending time in the living room and I eventually went back to my room to sleep the night off after things died down.
