all saints day reunions
i’m blogging this from pinas. all’s been swell since we arrived. mia took a couple of days to get used to the new places and faces, but s back to heer jolly self now. i’ve visited my dad’s new place in a memorial park in los banos where his ashes now lay. i’ve accomplished what i’ve come home to do, and from now on, we’ll just be taking it easy, spending time with the family as much as we can.
i’m glad to see my folks, minus one. the older one gets, the more important family ties become, i guess. my siblings and i have never been close when we were younger, but now, it feels soooo good to see them. even when we do nothing special, really. just being together, reassuring each other that we’re still there. that we’re still our same old carino brutal ways. evn when they all greet me, “nyaah, ang taba mo!” and suggest that i take ephedra diet pills, i just come back with “what happened to your hair?!? part of your halloween costume?” and then we’re back to our merry ways and dig into the fiesta meal laid before us. tact? nah, that’s reserved for people who will cease loving you if you don’t practice tact on them. amongst me and my kin, tact is corny.

i like the way you see the lack of “tact” in your family in a positive way. i get mad at my mom when she tells me that i am fat and i look like a nanay (i don’t have a kid!). but reading this entry touched my heart. i will never let my mother’s tactlessness ruin my day or our relationship, again. Thanks, Ruth.

Sarap naman ng reunion/vacation ‘nyo dyan sa Los Banos
Na-miss ka lang talaga nila kaya me karinyo brutal na salubong sa ‘yo
Naranasan ko rin ‘yan
I know that you, Mia and Jan will have a grand time. I’m sure, energized kayong mag-iina pag-uwi ‘nyo ke Baste
Take care…
