I used to remember when I was still growing up, I would meet relatives only during Christmas get together or during wake of a family member who passed away. Sadly, relatives are all over the world cannot come home to the Philippines to attend to their wakes.

Recently, Tia Zeny, Diko Bogie, Tio Freddy and Ate Kit passed away due to illness.

Long Overdue Reunion - BGC, Taguig on Feb 2017

My Ate and I had planned this reunion for a long time. However, everytime I come home, I get busy and since I stay only for a short while, we never were able to gather cousins in one place. With the help of Dennis, my nephew, we started calling some relatives who are interested to meet. One of the the problems is where should we meet. Towards the end, it was decided to meet at Bonifacio Global City. We actually ate in two places. At Wooden Spoon for late lunch and at Mon Kok, a Chinese restaurant also in BGC for early dinner. And to top it all, we had coffee at Dunkin Donut. We all reminisced about our early days growing up in Malabon with other cousins.
