I just came back from the Philippines. I have to say I am glad to be home. Not because I didnt have fun in Philippines but because I just miss home, my room, my bed, the familiar food and most of all my granma. Nothing like going away to make the heart grow fonder.
i had a blast on this trip. my cousin was getting married and so the whole family went and we sort of had a big reunion. it was great to see my cousins grown up and meeting new nieces and nephews. they're so cute and adorable. everyday was a loud and hectic affair. everyone seems to be screaming for attention, on top of that we were all busy getting ready for the wedding.
during the wedding itself, i was surprise to see so many guards with guns outside the halls. its something we dont see here in my country. i guess with all the jeweleries the guests was wearing there was a bit of a risk of getting robbed :S
i had to make sure i smell good all the time because there were a lot of kissing and hugging going on :) my shoulder hurts cause my purse was bulgy and heavy all the time with my perfumes, lotions and baby powder. its the price i had to pay to keep looking & smelling fresh 24/7.
the hugging was fun! everywhere you go in the house there's always someone to hug. i like it that my younger cousins and nieces are very loving & manja. the older generations really did their job well. i'm proud to say we all grown to be respectable citizens ;)
*sighs* i cant wait to see them again. hopefully someone will get married in the next few month *L*
i am grateful to have a loving family. i cant thank God enuf for this blessings He sends me in abundance. i dont know why i am this fortunate. do i deserve this much happiness when i have done nothing great in my life. times like these i like to remind myself to keep giving back, even in small ways.
