daily blatherings

I really miss the fiesta celebrations that they do in the Philippines. It happens every year. The village where I grew up usually celebrates around September and the city (Maasin City) celebrates around August. It so much fun especially when all my relatives gather around for some food. There’s nothing like it. For some it’s a time to have some fun and for some, a time to rant. This is also the time for lecture. LOL. Yup. I used to always get told off around this time because I did something naughty. O_O.

I used to hate parts of it because I knew that one of my aunts would eventually caught up with me to say that they were disappointed in me. They’d do it almost everytime I am about to eat one of my favorite foods and it was my Aunt’s macaroni salad. The conversation would always start with: I heard from your other aunt that… blah, blah, blah… I can’t believe… blah, blah blah. LOL. In my mind I would be like: Oh geez here we go again! :P

I used to hate that part, BUT(!!) I didn’t hate the food. The food was awesome! I also used to enjoy my cousin’s company. I didn’t see them often, but like I said, everyone gathers when there’s a fiesta celebration. They’d come from different places, Davao, bukid, etc. I used to look forward to that part. It was fun to hang out with them. Some were cool cousins and some weren’t so cool. :P.

Now that I am older and far away from home I miss it and wants to experience it again. I’ve been looking at photos on Friendster and I can’t help but wonder what it’s like. It’s been so long. Maybe someday when the kids are older I can take them and let them experience it too. :-) ♥
