Miss Blogging

        It was three weeks since I didn't open my blog for a reason,  first it was the death of my uncle After the exam was done I travel to Tacurong City, and arrive at the place before dark. When I finally arrived I greeted our elders and my cousins and other relatives which I have not seen for a long time.  My mother led me to the remains of my uncle and pays my respect. After seeing it my cousins and other relatives have some chitchat and a little update about their respective families until afternoon till dinner was served. We took some photos and other stuff reminiscing the happy moments when my uncle was still alive.

            On the fallowing days, I stayed with my cousin  and also help in the preparation and spend time with my family and no allowance was given by my mother since everything was provided.

            Daily novena and prayers was made for the repose of the soul of my uncle. My cousins and uncle residing abroad arrived. Other relatives from Manila, Lanao del Norte, Davao del Norte and Davao Oriental came also to pay their respect. On November 1 and 2, all saints/souls days we offered mass for the repose of the souls of my late grandparents and uncles and aunt and blessings of their grave at the Shangri-La Memorial Park even though we continue the vigil for my uncle’s wake and .  He was buried on November 7 in the morning at the Shangri-La Memorial Park also. I have not spent any money during the semestral break because everything was provided. There are a lot of foods, different flavors of chocolates, cakes were brought, breads and others.

     It was my cousins and my mother and her siblings who spent for all the expenses incurred during the wake until the last ritual on November 8, 2009. Our old grandmother (my grandmother’s cousin) who did all the rituals after the burial including the prayers. We departed for home after everything has been settled. I did not spend for any fares because I rode with my cousin’s car in going home.

       Vacation like this is the only time that we met with my cousins and relatives. Sometimes we contribute for food and other related expenses.  Sharing each others stories and updates on one’s achievement.  The time for family gatherings and reunion, though sad but we must have to accept it and move on with our lives. We believe that God loves us so much and we thank Him always for all the blessings and graces He has showering to us. We pray that every member of our family will have a good life and have faith in Him always. and second it was our retreat and the last was my rest days.
