Not just A Undas but fambond


FAMBOND
A one  of few moment to spend together.


In a not so huge family like ours, a few moment we spend counts. With our busy  life and hectic schedule it is almost impossible for us to gather together, but when a time comes around like this. It is special for us to gather.

Undas is one of the  Filipino tradition, that we usually celebrate in memory of our love ones. To offer prayers , to light  candles, to offer a blessing, flowers and their favorite food and beverages. These are one the common things we do to them. At the same time, we talk and reminisce the time when they were alive, on what they are doing, their hobby. We usually commemorate this event on November 2nd and since it's on my birthday we double the celebration.

Just a small gathering, eating lunch together, makin funny stories, talking about your work or what are the things happen to you for the past month. Also, it is our time discuss family issues and make a resolution.

It is almost lunch and everyone is hungry, thats why were in a hurry to take pictures. We do random poses and weird poses just to fasten the picture taking hehehe. Poor us.

The grave of my aunt and Lolo on my fathers side. On my mothers side we just offer them prayers coz their grave is far from where we live. It is in Cebu so when you want to visit them you get bu a plane or by a boat :)  maybe in  some other time, when we got a chance to commemorate undas in Cebu.

Light House:Malapascua Island Cebu City

Ohh Lighthouse  Not far away from the barrio you can locate this lighthouse, although the access  to enter in the light house  is limited, still  you can enjoy and appreciate the scenic beauty surrounding the light house.  Walking around in this area was really fun and not far from away from here. They are beaches that you can enjoy your picnic with you're friends and love ones.  The light house is made of steel with a height of atleast 25m, So, since where not allow to go in, just taking pictures outside is fanstastic, specially when you're with your love ones and friends.

All things happen for a reason

Each one of us has its road where taking on. But not all that road are long enough to join you. This blog is one of the saddest, story in my life. Life. Though life is the most precious and wonderful gift. It is also the most painful and most vunerable gift.  It may be taken just a flick of a hand or just a wink of the eye. December last year 2016, the father of my boyfriend died. Sadly, he was diagnose with a stage 4 lung cancer last end of November. I can't imagine even to my self to be in that situation as my boyfriend. When I heard the news that night, I can't help to think of my father as well.  That I am not ready to be in that situation. Maybe life has its reason or maybe a limit itself. Maybe God has a reason. But why. Why now. I start asking questions and realization that life is a precious gift it maybe short or long enough to enjoy it. I feel sorry for myself for taking it for granted. It made me realize that life is short no matter what. Age is just a number...
