Memories & Feelings Unleashed….

As life has gone on for me… so have trials come my way.

Leaving was not an easy decision. It had years of preparation in between which not all fun. It gained me new friends along the way and added more information into this rusty ‘ol brain of mine but I loved every minute of it.

I arrived in this place… met by some people who cared for me .  Little did I know what was in store for me a month after. I was happy and contented… I went to and from Baltimore to NJ every week. They were wonderful to me and still are. The family I stayed with in Randallstown, MD were so accommodating and warm.

I haven’t really been around much. Mostly tagging along with my cousins.

They brought me to Famous Dave’s with the delicious ribs and whatever you could feast on… Oh by the way.. that’s a platter good for 4 people… We were only 3 then and that left us really really "bundat" with all the stuff that we ate….

Then theres the Tarantella restaurant where they serve Spanish Food… mmmm lami gihapon ug makalisang ang servings. Puno ang restaurant so we had to wait outside freezing…. That’s my cousin Kuya Kix with me…

On Easter Sunday, their kids came home… it sure was nice to see them again…all grown up… Off we went to church at 11 a.m. then we had lunch at home… Kare-Kare, lechon kawali. dessert was Mango float and leche flan…. Lami…..

That’s me and Kuya Kix on the left and Ate Tess on the right. The kids….mmmm asa na ba tu sila… they’re somewhere around… I could not find their pictures….hahaha Anyhow, I had a grand time with them….

At one time, I went to Washington DC… Incidentally, this picture is the same pose I had three years ago…in the maroon sweater and a beige cap… Precisely why I had it taken again…hahaha… Then here’s the dining room and of course the bedroom where all the snoring happens. Abi ninyo unsa no? But anyway… part and parcel of all this I am relaying to you are the memories that will always be with me. Kung pinadrama pa… memories that I will take to my grave.

I had the chance to again tag along with them to Georgia and Florida… Lucky me. It was the birthday of Ate Tessie’s brother and binyag of the apo… so here I am tagging along. That was taken during the binyag… The next day, off we went to Florida… They took me to Epcot…yippeee Lingaw kaayo ko murag bata… (actually ignorante…) I may not have a lot of pictures (not typical of me mind you) but the memories are what is most important. We spent the whole day there going to all the rides except 2.. And we stayed there till about 9 to watch the fireworks. Funny really how you get to see things you used to see only in books and on the internet… well it’s really worth it.

On our drive back to Washington DC, we passed by the South of the Border in South Carolina… Kinalingawan… They made me ride in this…whatever you call it..hahahah donkey nga murag ambut…. and of course, how could one not have a picture with Pedro… what the South of the Border is all about. It was a very long drive indeed… but I was the passenger after all so I could sleep when I wanted to and eat when I wanted to….

This seems to be like all fun diba…. but I’ll see what I have to say about what has been happening in between… It just is so hard to compose all the things that are happening to me…all the trials that I am going through right now….
