3..2..1 Happy New...

...Huh?! What happened to the lights??!!

This is the story:

We went to spent new year's eve with my aunt and cousins. The idea was to eat there and go later to watch the fireworks, but in the end as my niece and nephew behaved horrible, as usual, we stayed in the house and waited for the clock to strike 12:00.

I finally met my cousin's fiancé , if I can call it that way, and I found out thanks to the subtle signs, my sixth sense and my dear niece who couldn't help but scream from the beginning of the dinner to the end: SHE IS PREGNANT, SHE IS P*R*E*G*N*A*N*T, that my cousin is having a baby.

Of course we didn't ask if it was true, nor she denied it.

So we were there, watching TV and waiting for the fireworks, when the clock struck 12:00...

...And the blackout came.

Yeah, for real. The most idiotic thing in the world happened, a damn BLACKOUT at 12:00 o'clock! So the first thing I thought of was turning on my camera to try to see who was beside me and hug them, because we had to hug each other, blackout or not dammit, that's the fucking tradition!

Everybody began turning on their cellphones and hug each other and then we remembered about the fireworks...and that we couldn't see them because there was no electricity! Then a neighbor came to the door and said we could watch them if we ran 3 blocks ahead, so we grabbed the champagne and the ice-cream, and we all ran the dammed 3 blocks and when we arrived of course there were no fireworks, we could only hear them from afar.

We grabbed the champagne and the ice-cream again and we all ran back to the house and from there to the second floor where we could see literally 2 fireworks and then everything was over. In that moment the electricity came back and we could watch 5/8 minutes from the fireworks in Viña del Mar, while I was trying to call my friends, but as Fernando predicted, the guys at Entel disconnected the system so I could greet no one.

Afterwards everybody ran away. My sister left for a party, to which of course she didn't invite me but had the nerve of asking me for 40 USD to go, and of course I gave them to her; sometimes I hate myself; then my cousin left for another party and of course she didn't invite me either.

It doesn't matter though, I got my revenge by taking her pictures with a runny nose, and my sister will face my mother's wrath.

HA-HA-HA

2008 here I go, meaner and reloaded.
