Last November 8

Last November 8, 2009, my dad, my brother, cousins, grandfather, aunt, uncles and I went to Loyola Cemetery in Marikina City to visit the graves of my late grandmother and my mama. We visited them a week after the observance of All Saints' Day. A practice we have observed as a family to avoid the traffic and crowd during November 1.

My dad, my brother, grandfather and I were at the cemetery at 4:30 pm, my cousins (children of my aunt who are living in Manila) arrived at around 6:00 in the evening. My aunt and her husband and my other uncle were caught in the traffic on their way to Quezon City, all of them were coming from Bataan were they are now based.

Our loved ones' graves were at the farthest side of the cemetery so by 6:00 in the evening we were engulfed by the pitch black darkness of the night. We did not bring any candles with us because my aunt was the one who prepared the flowers and candles.

We passed off the time while waiting for my aunt to arrive, chatting and taking pictures.

My aunt were able to reach Loyola at 7:30 pm. We stayed there until 8:00 in the evening. We were the only ones left at that side of the cemetery.

After visiting our dear departed loved ones, we were off to celebrate my granfather's birthday. It was a late celebration because his special day was last November 2.

We all proceeded to Lamesa Grill in Trinoma. We had dinner at 9:00 pm because of the heavy traffic on our way to Trinoma. Everyone was already hungry so we only took pictures after our dinner.

Best Blog Award

I received the same awards a few months back but I decided to post it again because these awards were given to me by Bambie and Mhai.

Bambie/Sunshine is one of the nicest and sweetest blogger friends I have while Mhai is a new acquaintance in the blogosphere I wish to get to know more.

To the two lovely ladies for passing these awards to me thank you!

Decisions, Decisions

I will be one of the bridesmaids in my cousin's wedding. I'm excited about the wedding which will be held a day after Christmas.

I can't think of any decent post because my mind is preoccupied with what design I'm going to choose for my gown.

The bride has sent me the designs of the gown but I still can't choose which is the one for me.

I wish I can post the pictures here so you can help decide but when I tried putting it here in my blog the pictures are small, the details of the gown can't be viewed.

I have until Sunday to choose. And I'm already anxious just thinking which of the gowns will look good on me.

Maristela Torres Bags Gold In Asian Track And Field Championships

Today was such a busy day at work.

While commuting on my way home, I was thinking of what to blog about today. I was too tired to think of anything and I just decided not to post anything for today. The first time I would have to do so in two months.

But when I read in the paper that Maristela Torres won a gold medal for the long jump event at the Asian Track and Field Championships being held in Guangzhou,China. I just felt I have to share this story.

The gold medal won by Torres is the first for the Philippines after twenty two years. The last gold medal for the country was won by Lydia De Vega in 1987 for the sprint double in Singapore.

Maristela Torres was considered to be a dark horse in the competition since everyone was expecting Chinese Chen Yaling to win before the home crowd.

When Miss Torres made her third jump and leaped 6.51 meters the Chinese coach approached Torres' coach Joseph Sy and congratulated him already because Chen only manage to reach 6.28 meters.

She makes us Filipino proud because of this feat.

Congratulations to Maristela Torres
