November 2, 2014 Sunday,
Len and Bong prepared so much food for our supper on Sunday, the day we were leaving for Manila. There was a very large fried fish, steamed dungeness crabs, etc.
Roast duck, salsa
Close family friends also came over bringing their own specialty of the house. Rae Hughes brought a big casserole of callos, and her pretty 5 year old grand daughter who looks like her and Nicky.
Eves, Dimple, Rae
Kay (Len’s eldest daughter), Len, Eves brought empanada. Ang sarap kumain, paano naman kami papayat?
Bong baked this tahong.
Although Edmund and I were still full from Burger King, the food on the table were irresistible. The crab was so deliciously fresh.
Napawisan si Edmund packing my fiberglass Santa Claus I bought from Costco. We had to reinforce its box for extra protection.

As usual, my sister got emotional when we were leaving na. Hugging and crying are traditional between the two of us. Even if we see each other once or twice a year. To think in this trip, I overstayed by a month, hindi pa rin sya nasawa sa akin. Nung maliit kame lagi kaming nag-aaway.
We both have our own lives, far from each other. We are both busy with our own activities. Very different from each other. But despite the distance and busyness, our hearts and love for each other are never apart.
I should buy a house beside hers, (Hello Lotto! Tell me when?).
I have read your blog it is very helpful for me . Thanks to oh my buhay.
