She has been living a good long life so every year that she is still with us is a blessing.

Filipino parties are pretty boring for me when there’s no one my age to converse with, so I mostly played with my nieces, but the real treat of these parties is THE FOOD! I miss it so much when I’m at school! My mom made me a care package of Filipino food to take back to school with me, but I forgot to grab it off the coffee table before I left! :-(

I also got to meet my 3rd cousin on my Dad’s side, Catherine. That means that we have great-great grandparents in common. I had to look it up on this handy wikipedia cousin chart. Everybody’s family in the Philippines!

Happy happy birthday cake. My dad played a birthday song CD which brought back memories.

My aunt and grandma pray the rosary in tagalog downstairs.

I try to go home once a month to visit the fam — usually I get pretty homesick when I look thru my photos, haha.
