uncle beny & auntie luz

they celebrated their 46th wedding anniversary this past sunday

here they are with their children behind them:  ate noreen, kuya dennis, ate shirley, kuya glenn, and kuya chester

as you can see, it was hawaiian-themed.  i had a dress to wear, but then when i went shopping with my students, i found this vintage hawaiian dress and ended up buying it for $7.  it was so nifty cool!  this is what it ended up looking like…

the rest of the family turned out in hawaiian shirts and dresses and it was really neat-o to see ‘em all colorful =)

another cousins get-together


marc, krystal, andrew, james, frederick
me, jaylene
mahalia, flo
jackie


on the way up, i said to flo, “wow… this brings back memories, taking road trips with you… next thing you know they’ll be asking us to sing special music!”

she just laughed and said, “we ARE doing special music, silly!”

so here are the “children of the king” reunited =) i don’t have any of the pictures of us when we were little, but we were dragged all over to all these churches and made to perform… we practiced on friday night and had fun trying to think of any old songs that we used to sing =)


mahalia sat in her little inflatable care bears bed and listened to us perform… she’s such a cutie!

belated birthday gifts for my mom


my mom rocks!

her birthday was last month but she was in the philippines ‘gallivanting’ with her high school classmates, so i went out to visit her this weekend to spend some ‘birthday time’ with her.  in addition to eating with her, i took her out for manis and pedis:

however, i think she ended up buying me more ’pasalubong‘ from the philippines than i bought her for her birthday!  in addition to the cultural-hat-that-looks-like-a-bell that she’s wearing in the top picture, she got me an outfit from the philippines, a “mestiza saya” just like i requested!  i always enjoy the cultural outfits and i’ve never owned one of these butterfly sleeve ones, so she got me this great barong style one (and she said it was the most expensive present she bought at a whopping 750 pesos! ($15!!)):

it’s actually a blouse and a skirt, and the blouse flares at the bottom… but it’s still nifty cool!  my mom just laughs at me and wonders why i would ever wanna wear an outfit like this but i’ve always loved dressing up in cultural garb and i look for opportunities to wear stuff like this - international day at japanese church, filipino day at filipino church, and even on halloween i’ll dress up with whatever national costume i have! 

i had fun hanging out with her pampering ourselves.  both of us never ever get manicures or pedicures so this was a real treat!  happy belated birthday, mom!
