Celtic Pride

The twins weren’t able to call out. So Ezra called me to see if I want to go to New Hampshire to watch the game between Boston Celtic and Detroit Pistons. After asking my parents if I could go, which they did, Ezra gave brought me up on our itinerary.
So, the next day they fetched me at home and after eating dinner which is made up of arrozcaldo and vegetable salad (mom has a great sense when it comes to menus), we took off so we could reach our destination before late night.
The trip was uneventful. And we arrived earlier than the family we were visiting. Unfortunately me and Ezra was holding our bladder for about more than hour. And the climate, which was freezing cold, wasn’t helping our situation. But I wasn’t much in need of a bathroom than Ezra. So me and Kidong told her to pee in the backyard. But she doesn’t want to. So she went down the car and said that she’ll go and check the doors. Maybe someone forgot to close one. Being dark and all, I accompanied her. When we reached the backyard we roamed a little.
“Maybe one of the neighbors will mistake us as thieves and shoot us.” Ezra said.
“Mmm. Ezra this looks like a nice place to pee.” I suggested.
“I don’t want to pee in the yard.” She said while she nudge the backdoor. When she was disappointed it was indeed locked, she went up the balcony and swipe the blinds aside and started yanking the sliding doors, creating a racket.
“Well, now we are definitely getting shot.” I said squatting down in the middle of the yard under the shadow of some unidentifiable tree.
“Okay. Everything is locked. I really need to pee. Ching, what are you doing?”
“Peeing.” I answered, still squatting in the middle of the yard.
“What?” she laughed, “Why are you in the middle of the yard and not in some secluded corner of the house?” Then she choose some spot by a wall of a wood and started to bring her pants down.
“Because from where I am sitting,” I explained “I could see any critter, bugs, or reptiles that are coming my way to bite my naked butt. Your spot seems to be critter friendly. Aren’t you scared that there could be a snake crawling near that wall you’re hiding and will just strike at your behind?”
“Stop it Ching! You’re scaring me!”
When we were done we went back inside the car to thaw out.
"Maybe we should call them and tell them we're here." Ezra said.
"Yeah lets." I said shivering at the back.

After some time. Tita and Tito came. We went in and they started interviewing me about dad's new girlfriend. Which it seems they know more than I do. Later their son, Yogi ( I laughed on the inside, on that one), came home too. I thought he was gay but then I was disabused of that fact later when he went and on about his son back in the Philippines. Then later Shine, short for Sunshine (which is his real name) came home too.
And what a ray of sunshine he is.
He was big, dark, bulky and always sporting a scowl.
And has a serious "Road Rage".
When driving, he shouts, spew a lot of profanities, and sometimes flipping the other drivers the bird when he gets mad at the little mistakes the other drivers do. He was scary. But other than that he was okay.

And then the Boston Celtics lost again!!!
