happy birthday mariel!

my niece is one year old today. i just finished talking to my whole family and they're talking about how busy they are preparing for mariel's party. how i miss family gatherings. i am one of the few who actually enjoy having family over for dinner or lunch. my family is so much fun. im usually laughing the whole time we're together. so my dad says that a few of his friends from the neighborhood are helping cook the handa for the party. how i miss smelling the aroma of kapampangan cuisine. the authentic kapampangan cuisine. they're having a pabitin even if my niece is only a year old and will probably get stomped on if she dared joined the other kids in jumping to grab toys and chichirya. but still thats fun. kung andun lang ako, im sure i would be standing on the sidelines grabbing all the chichirya i could reach for.

i talked to my mom and dad and aunt and sis and my 2 nieces. i suddenly had a pang of homesickness. i miss them sooo much. all i could really hope for is that they could all come and visit me next year. if i cant go home, then i hope they could bring home to me. all i have to dread now is saying goodbye to them all over again. *sniff*
