Memories of Early Christmas (part1)

Tutal December naman and I don't have much to do these days, ay eto ang ilang kuento ng mga nakaraang pasko na naaalala ko pa paminsan minsan...

Dalawa pa lang kami ni Wena nuon (I don't remember my age exactly) and every Christmas we will walked to town to attend the mass service early in the morning. It's really not clear if we walked to church or not but definitely going back to baryo we walked kasi I always remember na dadaan kami sa mga Mamay Luis (my grandpa's brother) para mag mano at mamasko, that time bato na ang bahay nila and malaki yun and it's one of the houses sa baryo na me malaking christmas tree, siempre sa aming maliliit na tsikiting e malaking bagay ang me ganung kalaki na christmas tree, unang una wala kami sa bahay na ganun and to see the lights and gifts underneath the tree is so overwhelming sa isang bata na hindi sanay sa ganun...
heniwey we always always will eat suman and tsokolate drink duon sa mga Mamay Luis, I really don't remember kung anu papasko nila sa amin but I will always remember the suman, tsokolate and the big Christmas tree....

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
