*"Barrio Fiesta"*

It's our Barrio Fiesta today. I haven't missed one but then there's always a first time. And now is it. Whoa! I'm starting to missed all traditional family occassions. Usually before the main day, the whole family was very busy for the preparation. And this was the time I ran for errands. My sister will mandate me what to do. Why? becoz she's more knowledgable in the kitchen than me. I hate that but at the same time enjoyed it. My Dad said they're preparing relyenong bangus. Gosh! I can't remember the last time I ate that dish. When I heard it, I wanna go home at that moment. Oh, I have to nail in my mind that I'll ask them to prepare relyeno when I come home.

It's also expected everytime like this to have a lot of visitors. Wow! There never come a time we ran out of visitors. It's the reason I hate doin' the dishes at this time. It felt endless. But having many visitors meant we have many friends. Specially, my Dad. Oh! We were counting who had the most visitors. I won't won. Coz all my friends were in the city, yes we are living in the city but I meant Manila. I studied in Manila and I worked far from our home not w/in the town. But when I do have visitors, my family was the one who's always checking if they're okay. That's why my friends like to come back to our house, they were well estimated not to mention the delicious food we prepared for them. I remember my friend even requested steamed fish.

In the afternoon, when there's few visitors, my cousins, nieces and nephews gather together and videoke. We always had a good time everytime we do that. Singing and dancing. We were all crazy. Haay!!! Memories flashes back. That's all I can do now... thinking bout the old days.

Later, I'll call them. Almost everyday I called them. And I always try to talk to my favorite nephew Ryan but he always had tantrums when I called. I missed my baby sooo much. I missed him call me "Tita Lek".
