COUSINS are the 1st friends of your life. Cousins are there as childhood friends. No one will ever understand your crazy family like your cousins.. even if you don't talk much lately.
aahh that is so true. for some reason you always have this connection even if you havent seen each other for 8 years or so or never met before :) you gotta thank the parents for making you present in stories while your absent in family get togethers! :)) yay!

hello blogsters! :) I don't know what is happening to me right now, but I'm feeling like looking back and watch the homevideos. I realise that we have a lot, not from our own family, but from my cousins/uncles etc. Last week I was watching my baptismal in the philippines, and my cousin's first birthday. I honestly did miss a lot of gatherings in the philippines. I was reading my blogs from last year, and I realised that I haven't blogged about my last trip to the philippines, in August 2010. As usual every trip is different. If I were to write about each day, I'd spend hours on this blog. And I don't want to write a lot. Fastforward: I think this year will be my favourite year, as every year I say that. I don't know, but I really hope it pushes through. It does not lie in my hands, but this year will be a year of travelling BUT sadly I won't fly to the philippines. Simply because: not enough money. (no money would be a lie) BUT if it is gods will, and my moms dream mixed with passion to have me in the philippines for the annual fiesta in the province, it will find its way. Rewind: watching those videos, made me laugh, shed a tear inside me and think. I actually never really bonded with my grandmothers. Which is sad. I have met them, but it never came to my young mind that they will leave the world sooner or later. one big fat reason why I want those homevideos to be digitalised SOON. Number two: I never really appreciated the simple things in life. Before there was NO TV, NO INTERNET and NO MOBILEPHONE. Yet, the people were entertained, had fun. The presence of each other was enough.
RewindRewind: I remember back in 2008, when I was dropped off at the airport, my cousin gave me the most sincere sentence he ever told me. something like "Okay ate, magingat ka nalang dun at salamat" but he said it with emotions I assume, and he was kinda shy? And my dear god, the text exchanges I had with my cousins. It felt like the end of the world and we would see us again after 8 years. When I was sitting in the airplane, all by myself, I was crying.
I have one male cousin, if ever he reads this -hello-, that even if we haven't seen each other after so long we still have this connection, luksong dugo does really exist. Back then he would usually text me and ask me what I was doing and were I was going. Now he's on puberty, but yeah it'S fine! And when I was in their house for the last time, he was quiet and behaved which means he is sad. URGH I really had to hold back my emo-ness. When I cry, the whole world cries. And even though the other cousins didn't show it, I knew that they are going to miss me ;-) Maybe my feelings were wrong, or they were good in that, but I really knew what the meaning of family was. Forward: August 15, 22, 28, 29 will be in my heart forever. Nothing beats family get togethers. My only weakness is that I am bad in entertaining and dividing my attention unto two different families. August 15, - from 7 am (well it started at 5 am already) till the wee hours. I cherished every single minute. August 22, the "okay-I-am-bored-lets-go-swimming" decision. Just in time. no sad moments, only happy ones. And I love the fact that, well .. 2 in 1 :) fave? :) August 28, same story same love = beach. No words can express how happy I am to have THEM in my life. Some make me cry, some disappointed me, some ignore me 'cause of their shyness and some are just the way they are. And I pray to God, that this will stay like it is, until the last day I'm breathing. Make the most out of E V E R Y T H I N G. I guess, my lolas are all proud of us. And my lolo I have never met before, but I'm carrying his name on facebook! :)

The word that describes my feeling at the moment is: OVERWHELMED
