thankful...

i am thankful:

...that even though my mom and her cousin got into a traumatic car accident, they are both safe and home.  no major injuries, which is really good considering what happened.

...for my friends and family who respond to my texts with prayers for my family.

...even though i’m hurting inside because i know that it can only get better.

...for my friends who’ll sit in a room with me not saying anything, not only cuz they know that i need company right now, but because they like to spend time with me too.

...to God for taking care of my family, and to my family for getting together for a “thanksgiving” worship -after- an accident.  my mom’s family really has a great support group.

...just because. 


tomorrow will be a better day.  it just has to be.

congratulations, taylor!

so taylor graduated from san gabriel academy about 2 weeks ago but they had the family party last night in glendale, and that was a lot of fun seeing family out there =)

she had the chocolate dipped fortune cookies from panda inn, where she works.  and my mom is just very silly and used her foil as a grill…

jordan and d’mitri don’t really know who i am, so they were suspect of me taking this picture of them.  i like it cuz mom’s in the background and great-grandma is also watching over them!

andrew stayed outside with the younger kids and connor was climbing all over him (while jordan -still- wouldn’t smile for me)

my brother and josh, our first (therefore oldest) nephew.

me and taylor.  congratulations to you!!  you are going to have SO MUCH FUN at puc =)

some pics of the family mini reunion

83 relatives showed up to the “mini” banaag reunion at uncle benny’s house in yucaipa a few sundays ago… i finally was able to take the pics off my camera, so here are a few:

perry holding jared (ate kris’s kid)


generation 2 - lola emilia’s kids - granda enchong is the oldest one alive (i think he’s the 3rd son or so...) and he’s about 93 or 94.  then comes gma luisa, gma pacing, and gpa osing (and his wife)

i don’t have a good all-inclusive pic of my mom’s generation… so moving on…


generation 4 - at least those of us who were early enough to take this pic!  a whole bunch showed up later


generation 5 - not too many of the next generation showed up but they ran around with a ton of energy!


ahhh… the shoes… can you tell this is a filipino gathering? =)

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 =)
