Thankful, Grateful, Blessed

Been busy for the last couple of months especially around Christmas. My mother's side of the family had a reunion at our house here in the city. It was well attended of course. My mom is the only one among her siblings who can throw a party like that even in the shortest of notice. The only ones who weren't in attendance were her siblings from Cebu and San Francisco for obvious reasons. Our family reunion is an annual affair, usually potluck so there are lots of food on the table, enough to feed more than ten families. Now don't ask me how those ten families were able to fit in our small house. I wonder too. hahahaha

It's been a blessed year for our family, the whole clan for that matter that's why the party was also sort of a thanksgiving event. I cooked turkey kaldereta and my dad cooked "papaitan" due to insistent public demand :). Darling brought lechon. Tito Benny's share was waknatoy (Marikeño specialty). The food fare also included rellenong bangus, sweet and sour lapu lapu, ice cream, fruits, adobo, kilawin tanigue (for the silent boys), leche flan, organic carbonara and more. We also had a raffle for the "senior" women. It was fun so we decided to hold a bigger raffle next year. Gifts and money were given away to kids and oldies alike. hahahaha.

Christmas is really about the family and am thankful that mine is a good one. Having a very nice bf is a bonus too. Hi baby! I love you. And of course real friends as well!

Happy New Year everyone! May it be abundant and so full of love.
