WelCome ME back...

After some hibernation, at last here I am. Its been too long that I wasn't able to make any blogs, nor visit my very own site. Its been a very busy days for me since February. My very good friend Basha, has to take his "unplanned" vacation while I have to take over his chores. Mind myself, I wasn't even able to peek athis site. What a poor myself. Afterwards, its' my turn to take my vacation and lo;

1. I met my tata Pepe right in person. Although, we weren't able to talk too much ( because, naiinip na raw sila sa paghihintay sa akin!). Only a few words and they left already. Kind words were enough, as he talked much about me ( kind because, as if all praises ako sa kanya, in front of my loveydovey and my biyenan). I was'nt even able to ask if thay already savor our halaya and suman. Sana, nakapagbitbit man lang sila. Next time, I'll make it appoint, that they should bring something back sa Oz.;

2. I was able to see again some penitensya (flagellants). I took some pictures and somewhat bewildered. Just imagining that at the heat of the 11:00 o clock sun, these people will shed blood and hit themselves. One guy's back looked like a lechon. It's blood and sweat that was coming out from self afflicted wounds. Just wondering, would God heed their calls for forgiveness after that bloody experience. I've heard, right after that bloody exercise, they will bath themselves and refresh themselves with abottle of beer or two. Or even up to the last man standing, they will drink to the fullest. So, was there any difference before and after?

3. I met my some of my classmates. Kuya Mar (w/ wifee), Pareng Ted, Eva, Danny B. Vic C., Rowena C., Noel N. and the lovely couples, Estre and Libring. After a long wait, my memoirs were handed over to me. Of course, I have to wear the shirt with their signs. Its goes along way and taught much of what had happened to them after the grand reunion. Not much plans ahead, but I'm sure they're planning something worthwhile. As I was not into drinking, i felt sorry for the other "drinking" guy.

4. Visiting my father and my other siblings brings good feelings and sense of belonging. My father was old, stricken with diabetes but I'm happy that he's coping. Although, we are facing some financial problems, we made a compromise to solve it first by ourselves. Very much taken were the concerns being given by other family friends, my father strongly rely on us. Something which, I looked upon. It won't be us and nobody can help us;

5. My unica ija has taken a review class for the college entrance exam. Some kind of experience that we had not undergone dring our high school days. It was an experience for her, as this was first time that she'll be living with some other people, far from our presence. An experience also for her to go and mingle with other children of her age coming from other schools. What a sigh, that she told us of her experience and how good was her school compared to the others. Now she knows how her school fared with the others, Luckily for her, as she can now prepare much better for college. I just hope, she could make it to UP for that was her target. Good luck my dear, and my prayers will be with you!

6. This is the most exciting part of my vacation that makes me crave for more days. Sana ini-extend ko ung aking vacation. While my unica ija was away, the cats will play! Hahahaha! That was a moment when me and my loveydovey were lonesome in the house. And what would you expect. Intimacy was always present that we felt we were in our courtship period. Ahh, it's very nice to think of those that i now suffer from homes__ness. I'll keep it short for my imagination to work....As I just started working, I now have plans for my next vacation grande.

It's back to work now.....stop day dreaming!
