Weekend Full of First Times


I went to Bohol last week to be with my family during the feast of birthday of Mama Mary. I arrived at the city on Saturday around 7:30 am since the flight got delayed because of unknown reason. I was waiting for my cousin to fetch me but sad to say he didn't picked me there. Good thing my YFC friend, Ryan, who was about to get his doodle shirt accompanied me to Mcdo and Bo's Coffee Shop. I arrived on our house 11 am already. Mom got mad because I was late and she's waiting for me since morning.

My aunt fetched us to have lunch in the house of my father's cousin. I met other relatives on the side of my father. Since I went there twice-thrice a year and always stay for less than a week, I don't know some of them and it was my first time to met them. After we visited my mom's family house and visited the church and prayed. We went to cemetery to visit the tomb of our relatives especially dad. After, we ate ice cream and pandesal in the nearest bakery. Yes! One of the sweetest moments of my life (cause it happens once in a blue moon since our busy schedule). After we went back on their house and have simple chikahan.

The following day, we woke up early and went jogging. After we prepared for the pontifical mass around 10 in the morning. After the mass, we fetch my sister and went to the house of my uncle. We had lunch there and I met Tiya Alang (Dad's aunt) and she did not want us to leave. She did not even knew me and asked who are my parents. Yes, the advantage of not always going home or staying long. We also visited other relatives. I tried new dishes and what I love were the sea foods cuisine because the sea foods were fresh compared here in the Metro. We went home early, ate and I decided to study our lessons. I finished my essay homework in Rizal.

The following day, I was lazy to get out the bed. When I was about to take a bath, there was no drop of water from the faucet. My ate and I forced to use the water from the heavy rain in the night. It was cold and I was almost freezing but I did not have a choice, 

Short period of time but what's important I was happy and able to see my family again at the middle of the first semester. Thank You Lord!
