Traditions..

Today our clan celebrated one of the traditions we usually have every year.. All Souls Day.. it's a night filled with fun and lots of food.. hehehe.. the way we usually celebrate things -- with lotsa food! hahaha.. and laughter too..

We just got home after arriving there at around 6:30pm after an hour of 'traffic' (that's not very usual in Davao but IT IS usual pag ganitong holiday).. stayed there, had some prayers and of course a lot of food..again.. hehe.. plus big plans for the clan or simply showing off some skills in entertainment and even ghost stories.. oooohh spooky..

It's fun to have these 'traditions' along, many people take these forgranted and majority would rather spend these occassion with their friends but for US we'd rather spend it with the people who define us -- our family. I was thinking kanina na I bet our ancestors would be damn proud of us.. hehe.. we simply can have clean fun just around each other, no fancy stuff, no special effects.. just us and our stories to tell..

I was even thinking that a lot would love to be in our clan.. as proven by some people who frequent our gathering, people we consider family.. :) this kinda rejuvinated my morale.. nakz.. motivating me to realize, this family/clan is something to be proud of.. :) and I should be proud i'm part of it.. :)

It's up to my wife....

"It's up to my wife.." A student told me today when I asked them to present in class their future plans. I honestly was taken aback by his response. He wasn't the type of who would let someone decide for him. But there he was telling me this. Somehow, I wasn't sure that his declaration was for real. When I asked him if the decision to get married was his, he simply said, "I don't have a choice." I wonder. If I were the fiance and I heard all these, how would it feel like? On the other hand, will men really dodge the bullets of marriage if they could? Why so? Is marriage only for the weak? I hope not.

Laydee learns to cook..

Hi, I've been cooking once in a while, but to this date I haven't really been learning how to. Everyone in my family and relatives know how 'great' my baked spaghetti is heheheh.. Kabaga ug nawong uy! Anyhow, I'm not trying to learn from online sources and have cooked 2 dishes for breakfast and 1 dessert this week. I just forgot to take photos on one of them, sadly.

Heart Torn Into Pieces ..

How should one feel after a love? uh me? I can't answer that for I've never really experience it yet... 'Til now.. Allowing someone in your life has two sides as person would always have 2 sides, just like a coin. It's either your lives be forever (?) at bliss or it would end up like how most relationship end - in bitter sorrow... I got my fair share of bitterness all my life and now am sad to say am on it's path once again. Fallen and loved someone who after a wink decides to change the table menu. Yeah it's painful, it feels like your heart being torn literally apart and all one can hear is the deafening silence of what used to be a gleeful heartbeat.. I thought I had forgotten how rotten it feels like but I guess I've accustomed myself to the feeling all the while. I've always wondered why there were sad songs when love when found is so pure and happy.. now I know why some people settle for the desperate and suicidal songs of despair.. the songs where...
