GETTING BACK ONLINE

TODAY is my lucky day! After so many tries in the last few months, I was able to open my Gmail account and my blogs.
I had so many things to write about since my transfer here at Advertising in August last year, and I had to sort them out if I'll have the chance to put them down in writing. But that will have to wait until later, that is if I will be able to put them all in writing. . . He he he

The joint celebrations were held at Tatang & Inang's Farmville. Hannah and I left Dasmarinas, Cavite at 6am and arrived at the place by bus around 11:00am. The food were already laid out on the table under the mango tree. Because of Lory and Ellen, there were chicken yakitori, fried chicken, menudo and pancit palabok. Daisy and Tony's troops arrived bringing with them, boxes of brownies and cakes for the celebrations. Thea was lugging the tripod for the camera, she was the official photographer. She took the photos above and some.

Our three brothers have their own reasons why they could not make it --- Kuya Nick, whose family lives in Silang, Cavite, just left for his job in Saudi after recuperating from an operation last October; Bhoy, whose family lives in Bulacan, has to service students to and from school; and the youngest PJ, whose family lives in Olongapo City, operates some meat stalls in the city market. 

Hannah and I almost didn't make it because of our present financial situation, stemming from the delays in my salary. Thinking of the overdue bills especially the Meralco and Nawasa won't make any enjoyment impossible. At the last moment, Lory sent us  money for our fare to be sure that we can come and not disappoint the parents. All they wanted was for us to go home---to celebrate her birthday as her grandparents celebrate their anniversary. I remember when Hannah celebrtaed her 7th birthday. It was held in Bataan  together with Inanag & Tatang's Golden Wedding Anniversary. Bongga! When Sunday came and it's time to go home, Daisy also left money for our fare back to Cavite. Now, if Hannah will only hand me her cash gifts to be able to pay our electric and water bills...
