So the morning, my family went to the Oton cemetery in where relatives of my Mom are being laid to rest.

When we arrived, there are still a few who are doing some cleaning and repairs which was supposed to be done days ago. This was the first time that my family went there morning, usually it would be afternoon or evening.

We have relatives that I don’t know where their place is, so I just lit a candle for them at the “Campo Santo.”

My son and daughter is really not aware what cemetery is for, so whenever they see me, they wanted me to take their pictures.

In Oton cemetery, this is where we usually visit;

My grandfather who I love and loves me so dearly. A known manghihilot in our area while he still have the energy to do so. With him is his 2nd wife, a sister or my real grandma.

My tito and cousin.

They are my relatives on my mother side.

Right after we lit candles and said our prayers for our dearly departed in Oton, we went home to leave my children and immediately go to Guimaras.

In Guimaras, this is where we usually visit;

This are my relatives on my father side.

My Lolo, who is the brother of my grandma and my Tito who is the brother of my dad who usually cooks fried chicken for me.

My great grandfather.

My cousin.

My great grandmother and her siblings.

My great grandmother is one of the few relatives of my Dad that is close to my Mom’s heart.

After that we went back home to Oton. It was a tiring day, but fulfilling one.

Proud Momma

I am currently watching American Idol.

Oh, and my diet plan is not working out … I need to control myself! Anyway, I have a back-up plan, if I can’t control by the end of the month, I would be taking pills.

I have to rest now and prepare to go to work. It is going to be a first day of work for 2009. I hope everything will work out fine.

Good Luck to me!

I sent a message to someone who has been a special part of my life, telling him the things that I wanted to express. I guess it made his new year better because he sent a reply stating that he almost cried when he read my message. It made me happy that he has forgiven me and that he has moved on and that he is happy now.

I feel that a thorn within me has been pulled out, so that seems to be a good way to start a new year as well.

Happy New Year everyone.

What have I done on those days I haven’t blog?

Well, most of the times I would be in front of TV or my laptop watching TV Series or movies. I am a sucker for love stories now. Early days of my vacation I have this Gossip Girl; Chuck and Blair love story addiction and just today I found out about Dallas and Starr of Amazing Race, so I guess I will be searching about the love story of those two for now.

It’s the season to be happy, so I have done a lot of Family time.

I would like to introduce you to our helpers. They are really a big help for me in taking care of my children.

Since I posted today, what did happen today? Well, I went to the Lee’s house (Gabriel Lee is my daughter’s so-called boyfriend) brought them Nang Palang’s Buko Pie, a product of Trapiche Oton in where I live. The Lee’s in return gave us a salad, spaghetti and fresh lumpia. My daughter Hannah did enjoy spending time with her boyfriend. Gabriel’s relatives keeps on teasing him, asking what he would give to Hannah this coming Valentines Day because he told them that he plans to give my Hannah roses. How sweet Kids are so cute, aren’t they?

So I was eating a lot these past few days, because I plan to go on a diet this 2009. So I am eating as much as I can and I bloat like a pregnant woman Still, I have my touch. I buy clothes that looks good on me and make-up to make me more pleasing to look at.

Oh, before I forget, my Mom almost got injured when I lied to her about a “Lechon de Leche” in my cousins house. It was not an original Lechon de Leche, but a bread shaped as one. When my Mom heard me say that my cousin have this Lechon de Leche, she hurriedly goes to my cousins house and because the floor is wet due to rain, she slipped Ouch … I was really guilty … so I cleaned the slippery floor. I’m such a bad daughter.

Happy New Year everyone

Here are our pictures taken this evening.

Maybe you are wondering where I am in the picture. Sadly, there was no one to hold the camera but me. So, I was the official photographer during the event and because of that, I am not on the pics.

As we arrived home, TV shows are about ghost and scary stories. My daughter is a scared and this is how she deals with it.

She uses a paper to block her sight from seeing scary things on the TV, but you may notice that she is still looking at it.

I think most of us are like her, we may not like or want what we see but for curiosity sake, we look at it.
