Flores de Mayo (as it used to be....)

Ang malungkot dun sa bakasyon ko ay yung Flores de Mayo.
I was expecting it to be like before when we are still young pero iba na nga talaga ang panahon ngayon. Nung kami ang mga kabataan ang Mayo ang pinaka high light ng bakasyon namin, kahit sa manila pa ko nag-aaral I remember that I was always looking forward to the May month and was even sad if have to take summer classes. And I remember even when I have summer classes I make it a point to always go back to the province on Friday night so the weekend will be spent at the chapel specially during alayan.

Pero nung umuwi ako wala nang kabataan sa chapel para sa "alayan" kay Mama Mary, mostly ang nandun ay yung mga usual na taga chapel, yung mga manang na...walang mga bagets!! Tapos siguro every night mga 6 people lang...hay..kakalungkot talaga kasi ibang iba nung kami ang kabataan...Yung mga bagets ngayon iba na talaga ang enjoyment, sayang ang tradisyon, sana hindi mawala ng tuluyan..

At least hangga ngayon meron pa ring “Subli Festival”. Ginaganap ito kada Mayo 2-3 at isa ito sa highlight ng Mayo sa Bauan. Para ito sa Poong Santa Cruz.

Lipat Bahay na….

Natuloy din ang paglipat nila sa bagong bahay,. Nitong nakaraang tatlong araw e linis at lipat sila ng ibang kagamitan sa bagong bahay. At kanina nga madaling araw e lumipat na sila, siempre kumpletos rekados sa mga parapernalya gaya ng asin, tubig, bigas, ilaw, at kung ano ano pa para daw sa magandang buhay sa bagong bahay… Alas diyes ng umaga, sinundo ang pari para sa blessing ng buong bahay. Simple lang seremonyas, at sila sila lang pamilya ang naroon. Naghanda ng kiriroy o tutong yata iyun (tsalap nun ha)…. Ganun lang ka simple…..para sa simpleng buhay…. Hay salamat at natapos din…. Next adventure, filling-up the house with new things as the old things seems out of synch somehow….

Another Lunch...

My DC group treat me out today. Again another thai restaurant. Natutuwa naman ako at madami rin naman ang nagpapahalaga sa akin lalo na at malapit na akong umalis dito. And since every month yata ay may umaalis ang biruan ay paliit na lang ng paliit ang table pag me lunch treat sa isang umaalis. Alfred was saying that at the end it will only be him in a fast food restaurant wishing himself well with a combo meal hehehe... Enjoy naman ako sa lunch namin. I was with Cons, Alfred, Jenny, Kui cheng, Joyce, Shao qing and Lina. Thanks guys...

Leaving Home for the kids Future…

Is this always the case for most of the families back home, willing to suffer being away from each other so the kids will have better future?? As it is my brother in law will leave tomorrow for Libya on a commissioning job. He has resigned on his permanent post as supervisor in the process industry near our place to earn more. His earnings on the local job, though not that minimal is not enough for the increasing expenses of kids going to school and at the same time managing the everyday living expenses aside from house mortgages. Such is the life of middle class earner back home. And such are the cases of continuous giving-up of permanent positions and good pays to go out of the country and earn more, at least earn enough to have all the basic necessities covered up….. What’s really sad to know is that my nephews will probably grow up without their father’s guidance. Their father will not be there to see the important events in their growing –up years, all the milestones on their scho
