FAM.I L Y

whatever you do, whatever happens. even if you reshuffle the world. We're still bloodrelated. You can't deny this. There are times where you disagree, not in talking terms, not-yet-ready-to-accept-things-as-they-come. At the end of the day, at the end of the essay, we are one family. There are times when I don't feel comfortable, when it's not my comfortzone. but it takes two to tango. Still, I love my family. no matter what. it hurts when I see broken families, or even in the family broken promises. you need to work on it, trust has to be rebuild again. but that will take time.

With my brother and parents: My parents are definitely making sure that I know where I come from, who are part of my family tree and I practically know most of them. Million thanks to the two, for teaching and showing us our roots. Axalan, Reyes, Abe, Mendoza, Brucal and and and . . .


Axalan. Grandfather, Grandmother and Uncle


Abe: Grandmother and Uncle


Scattered all over the places, but you always find a meeting point.
That's what we call H O M E.



It's so hard to put all of them together in one picture. Sometimes when you're enjoying the moment with them, you forget to capture the moment. There is more to see than in these 1236 pictures.


Grandparents are there to be the starting point of your getting-to-know-each-other-and-remember-them. Once they are not here on earth anymore, you think you have no obligation to go to your grandparents house and forget about the people, but you have to keep in touch with your relatives. It's your job then to continue the tradition in being part of the family. Not only for the sake of having the name on your documents, but knowing who else, has that name on their document. Relatives near or far, remember, you are still bloodrelated. So to the parents, your kids might be too young yet to be on a social network site, or own a phone. It's your job to get them closer to their cousins. It's up to you if you want to know us or not.

I love my family.

Ps.: I have to admit that my Kuya, is doing pretty awesome being the Kuya of both family sides. He really wants to see each and every single relative/cousin. He even drinks with my lolo's brother and it's sons - equals my brother's uncles. When it comes to alcohol, you're all in the same age. But sometimes it's hard when the other party is not interested in the meet and greet. You rule brother, pretty outgoing!

Hello world I am back

Hello Blogspot World, I am back. I don't know exactly if anyone follows my blog. But I missed writing in here. So I thought why not come back and let your mind talk. Here I am, sitting in my room listening to Justin Bieber and typing. As I've checked my last post was January 2012. That's a loooooong time. In this one year and almost a half SO MANY things happened. Yet everytime when friends ask me what I have been up to, I tell them "nothing special". Maybe because it is not that interesting to update them. Wait let me think: Last year I started with Basketball, then joined the Vienna Avengers, a group of ladies who didn't know each other AT ALL but managed to win the Filipino Basketball in Wien Championship. A S E V E N - zero. I am not bragging, but I also received individual trophies. Three officials and one inofficial. MVP 2013! :-) Dreams do come true. I never - in my wildest imaginations - thought of becoming the MOST VALUABLE PLAYER. Actually Bask...

Charmaine Garcia - My "inaanak sa kumpil"

Today, April 25 2009 I have a new responsibility. As I take some things, if not everything very serious (well I have a wacky side too) I am now responsible for someONE. When I was in the church I actually (honestly) didn't realize that I am going to be a Ninang of somone who isn't actually related to me. I already have two inaanaks (Godchilds) but my very first Godchild is actually my cousin - first degree - and the second one, my pamangkin sa pinsan :-) I'm glad that the parents picked me .. but now it's different, because Charmaine has chosen me to be her Ninang. Maybe because I am cool and chill haha, kidding. I don't know why, but she has her own reasons why she picked me to be her Ninang. (I really think because I am cool and chill ) Kaya, it actually didn't sink in when we celebrated her confirmation or when she received her confirmation and kumpareng (haha) Kuya Allen and I were behind her, guiding her to the front. Since I was a bit stressed with the c...
