'Tis the Season.

Today is totally blog-worthy.

I woke up to the fourth call, after three missed ones, from my father. He called to tell me to pick him up from my Aunt's house. At first I was shocked, I mean, I just woke up, by him, and I've got to go get him at that instant. I knew I had to act quick because if I didn't, he'd get impatient. It was hard -I just woke up. Eventually, a few minutes and a loss of electricity later, I was able to get out of bed, ready, and through the door.

The drive there, on the freeway, was a bit weird. As I merged onto 680 N, I was hitting 100 mph and I didn't even know it. I guess it was because the freeway was so spacious and empty, with the exception of a few particular cars. Anyways, I reached my Aunt's house happy because I knew the way there and it was my first time traveling alone. Usually, I'd get lost, because I am undoubtedly poor at following driving directions. Luckily, I was guided with confidence. The drive back was kind of the same as the drive there. Alright.

My day was something. Something great. It was just... calm; relaxing. For the majority of my day, Tuesday, I caught up and watched the fourth season of One Tree Hill. Man, I didn't know how much I've missed that show. Also, I am the Season-Watcher-Master! Seriously bro, I finished six discs, with six 40-ish minute episodes, all in two days. Heck, if we were to get technical, then all of the time I spent watching would probably be within 24 hours. So yes, I'm the Season-Watcher-Master. Getting back to what I was saying, I missed that show. I remember when the Pilot episode first aired. Prior to that I've seen the commercials on the WB and I never became interested. I even saw the ads in the malls. But on that day, my sister suddenly opted to view it. I was like, "what?" I didn't know that she was interested in watching it. So, I watched it with her and my mother. That night, I fell in like with One Tree Hill. And as the years went by along with the show, I stayed a valiant fan. All the way until the mid of the fourth season. Then, the plot was getting thicker, it always does, but the show kept taking long breaks. So amidst all that was going on in my life, I put One Tree Hill on hold. Another thing I remember, is that back in the early days, I'd also complain a bit about the story. I claim, and I still do, that in every episode, there is someone apologizing to another. For real! Its ironic of how true that claim can get. Now, as I catch up I come to understand it more. I come to understand the drama and the way the characters act. How come? Its because I'm now at the age of the characters. I'm a senior in high school and can relate to some of the things in the story and thus I understand on a greater level than before. Its astonishing of how much and how many things happened in my life in the absence of this exceptional TV series. I admire One Tree Hill -then, now, and when the people thought it was only for girls.

It was basically just my father and me at home today. We didn't do much of anything together but we kept it sole hanging with ourselves and doing our own thing. He slept, and other things I don't know, and I regarded. But, there was something that surprised my afternoon. That thing was an unready surprise visit by my cheerful friend Anna. Ever since I showed her how close I live to here and where my house is, she told me she'd give me a surprise visit sometime. I did and didn't like the thought, because I know that if I were to receive a surprise visit at home, it'd be at the wrong time or I would not be presentable. So, she said she'd warn me first and I accepted. She did that today. "Are you ready for your surprise visit?" I paused. Unfortunately, my house was a mess so I did not invite her in. My apologizes Friend!! Next time I promise! We stayed outside for a few. Thank you for the thought and action of what you gave me today, Anna. Thank you for the surprise visit.

Another, watching the people in One Tree Hill graduate mad me a bit sad because I'm going to do that soon. It just reminded me of what's to come.

Theres the "it" of today. I kept feeling the urge to blog it out because the substance of what I had to write was well worth it. Nice alliteration order right there huh? Haha, thanks. So... that just may be it for this installment. I enjoyed today and hope everything is well with everything. Ciao!
