mi familia

Day 11 » A photo of you and your family.

Ever since i was young, i'd hear my parents talk about taking all of us out on a trip or a vacation somewhere. But we're not the kind of family who has lots of money to spend on trips. My dad would have these unpredictable work shifts. Then my brother went to college. Then i went to high school. Then we kids all started leaving our Bataan home.

Years later, after my dad retired, my brother has got his own family, we kids all got jobs, and more importantly, we all got our passports, my parents' dream finally came true. We never thought that vacation would take us to Hong Kong. But it was the most practical one to get, and everyone else except for me, has never been there. Besides, we thought my nephew would enjoy Disneyland. But i think we grown ups had more fun than he did.

So here we are, during the H1N1 scare last year, enjoying our little trip to Hong Kong.

I really try not to be vain, but i just realized how fat i was here. :|

We're not the kind of family who really hangs out much. I really can't say we're close. But i love my family. They all drive me crazy sometimes, but i know i'm really lucky to have them. I'm really looking forward to having another trip with them, hopefully soon (SG?). And this time, we'll have little James with us. :)

I'm delayed by a day with my blog challenge. But i'll continue anyway. Hehe! :D

Day 5 » A photo of something that makes you happy.

There is nothing else that never fails to make me smile than my adorable nephews.

i never thought i am already in that stage in my life...

... where you attend a sort-of family reunion, and your relatives ask you "aren't you getting married yet?". and when you say "no", you get that nagging "well you better hurry. it's going to be hard to get pregnant and be pregnant when you're older. you only have til you're 33... blah blah... how old are you again?". wtf?!??!

memories... chuwariwap!
