Of love and family...

we spent last weekend in Midsayap - which is one of my absolute favorite places in the world. It was my lola's 80th birthday and we had a big surprise party for her. Our whole arrival was a surprise for my lolo as well... it was funny seeing his face get more and more surprised as we each went in the house one by one. i loved being able to surprise people by how different we all were now. everyone's grown up.

the party was great too.. usual hometown fare - it started early and it ended early. but we all made it worthwhile by trooping home and belting out songs from the karaoke machine until 230 in the morning. this i gotta say, i know definitely know that there is a thread of "kalokohan" all running through our veins. it was soo obvious that we were all related. hehe!

i love them all to bits. and i wish we had more time to spend there. i mean, there were so many things to catch up on. my little cousins have all started to grow taller than i am! goodness...! my kuya and i used to be among the tallest among us kids but now all the little ones have caught up and are now towering above us. haaayy...

i missed everyone there terribly. it makes me wish i could bring back time where we used to spend our christmases there.

midsayap is home... one of my homes.

wish we could go back there often.

being around family is great.

Thinking on a quiet Sunday night   At home, I have a mother who’s currently been ragging me on practically about everything I do   I leave home and run straight to…   A boyfriend who’s got all these rules and don’ts and restrictions   I don’t understand it. I’m trapped from both sides.   I know they mean well. I love them for it. And I love all the times when I don't get pagalitan.   But sometimes…    I really wonder why they try to change things about me by restricting me the stuff I’ve always done.   Is it always wrong? Am I always bad? Is it not acceptable? It may be a little thing about me, but must it be denied?   If it’s a part of me that’s always been there, does that mean that…   I can’t be fully me?   Why?    ?   -==-   There’s a show on ETC called Starting Over that my sister and I watch almost everyday. We started watching in the States ...

Arguing from the point of equality and other things

Image
Yesterday, my sister texted that she was about to get that Canon SLR camera that I wanted. Well, my dad did tell me that both of us told him on separate occasions about the camera so... since she's there, she got hers. Now, being that lil child that I can be, I actually texted my parents asking why she's getting one and i'm not?! ahahah, laugh, i know it's worthy of laughter. In fact, Reg teased me about arguing from the point of equality. I said, we're ALWAYS arguing from the point of equality anyway. hehe :D So my sister and I were texting, as I was asking her which cameras were available in the store that they were in and lo and behold, they sell Leicas!! Wohoo! :) I may actually get my Leica after all. So now i'm torn. Which am I going to get? or Leica V-lux 1 and the Leica C-Lux 2 Unless someone tells me that the Leica D-Lux 3 is actually better? :D Tee hee, I can't wait to see these in person. -==- I had this thought tho, sometime during the night, i...
