Open Your Eyes guitar

Since he keeps promoting it in all his sites, maipromote na rin nga dito. My brother playing the guitar in a vid he posted in youtube. An Ate's yabang moment: he never had any guitar lesson in his life, everything is self-learned from books and internet. Hehe. He's the type of person na pag may narinig na kanta nun bata pa sya, he could play it in the keyboards afterwards (since keyboard un binili sa kanya nun bata-bata pa sya). Erm, wala din nagturo sa kanya sa keyboards nun. He just learned the notes by listening to each of the keys' tune. He now has his own college band and plays in UP Diliman's events, where he's also majoring in Fine Arts. =) Di ko lang nga trip un mga songs na trip nya tugtugin. Hahaha.

Family Holiday Celebration

Our usual New Year's family gathering with my most loved people in my life! This family is the reason why I am always homesick and longing to be back in the Philippines. What I love about my big family is that no matter what happens, we have always stuck together. Kahit pa nagkakasigawan and nagkakamurahan yan (as they are the emotional and violent type), just give them a few weeks' space then they'd patch things together and all the hatred would be bygones. No one holds grudges against each other, despite the really grave offenses some might bring to others (that really are unthinkable already to other people). It's nice that we remain a strongly-intact family that sincerely loves & cares for each other. And since I was a kid, I've always been comforted to know that whatever happens, I have this family who will fight for me to death.

Someday, when I have my own children, I will definitely return to the Philippines so that my kids can grow up with my big family and enjoy growing up with their cousins and loving them as own siblings, and have a super happy childhood like I did.

Girls Night Out (16 Jan 09)

@Boat Quay. Maganda pala mag-dinner dito! =) I would usually have dinner nights once a month with my close friends from P&G and are ex-P&Gers. Would not be seeing them for the next 2 months that's why we took more pictures than usual.

First pic of my niece, Yavanna. Sabi ni Mama, aside from the nose na nakuha nya sa nanay nya, kamukha ko daw nun baby ako! Hehe. Kaya lang it shattered my dad's dream of having all his descendants na matangos ang ilong. Haha, unang apo nya pa naman. And my mom said she has so much hair already and ang kapal like I had when I was born. Hahaha kay Ahia, ako un kamukha ng anak nya. =P
